I want to use the USB cable (not bluetooth) to connect mi laptop to internet trought my universal 3G.
How i use it?
I activate the connection. Mark the USB and my 3G definition. Connect. It's connecto 3G. And in the laptop i cant navigate.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

You have to disable the USB connection in activesync on your PDA, as well on your laptop. Mine worked with WM05!

First, connect the PDA to the net by selecting usb connection and your default 3g connection, push connect and then connect the PDA to the laptop and it will be seen as some modem or something else.

Hi,
I can describe, how I am using this feature in Vista.
First I do prefer to use Bluetooth over USB. The reason: it is very often that I am in the room, were the GSM/3G signal is poor. Then I can place my Uni in the window or other place were the signal is much stronger, and connect with the Uni using Bluetooth. The transfer is more or less on the same level as on USB anyway.
Now, Internet sharing option is a new function in WM6, bit like internet sharing in desktop windows. Our PC is not using the Uni as a modem. It uses it as kind of gateway to internet, meaning it use different protocols then with modem connection.
So, after pairing my Uni with my PC in Bluetooth, I got another kind of network connection on my network connections list. It is marked as closed connection with red mark on Bluetooth icon on this list. Then I go to internet sharing in my Uni and select Bluetooth Pan option and then click “Connect”. It establishes its own connection to internet using setup, previously configured in my Uni.
Then, in my PC I go to Network connections list and just click “Bluetooth network connection” icon. This makes my PC to connect with my Uni via Bluetooth using network (TCP/IP) protocol and use it as normal internet gateway. If I click the icon once more, then I get window showing standard connection with bites transferred, buttons for options, disconnection and so on. It shows that the connection is with 1Gb/s, but this is only for connection with my Uni. The connection from Uni to Internet is , obviously much slower and depends of local conditions and 3G standard.
Hope I could help.
Edit:
If I try to do the same over USB, then there is a problem. After connecting USB cable, my PC automatically goes into AS mode and syncs with my Uni. Then If in internet sharing I select USB and click "Connect" the syncing stops, AS in Uni shuts down (this is OK), but my PC try to install a new driver for new device and it does not find it, so it can not recognize my Uni as a proper gateway to connect with over USB. If it would install a driver then on Network connections list a new connection should show up, probably named as "USB network connection".
That’s the other reason I do not use it this way.

Show second and third post. Expain how to quit USB in AS to use this feature.
I will try this trroght BT, but (for me) via Cable is better, the pda is charging all the time. Via Bluetooth the battery goes down quickly.

People need help. I flashed my cingular 8125 with crossbow reloaded rom, its great but cannot seem to understand how to use internet connection sharing to get my laptop online. under network connections i can see that my phone is connected to the internet. but my laptop refuses to browse any site. i have winxp.

Check your firewall. In this mode, you are loged to a new network with different IP than your IP from your home network, if any. Using internet sharing your computer gets IP from your PPC. In my case it is 192.168.0.xx and the gateway is 192.168.0.1. It means that if your firewall was set to accept your home network with different IP, then you have to set it to accept this new IP as well. Oherways you will not get any comunication through this chanell. Of cource, this suggestion is valid only if you have any other firewall then Windows Defender.

I am using this in Vista. There is something named as Center for Windows Mobile Cervices. This is Vista version of AS. Here I do not need to quite USB and AS. Simply set Internet sharing option in your PPC for Bluetooth PAN and then click "Connect" in PPC. After that, click "Bluetooth Network Connection" in your Network Connections List in the PC. You will get the page with list of bluetooth access points. You should see your PPC device marked as the default device. Bellow you have "Connect" button. Click it and you are done.
By the way, the second and other posts describe the attempt to connect in the old way using modem connection. WM6 does not provide the modem support for PC connection. It means that officialy you can not use WM6 device as a modem like with WM5 or Symbian devices. However, HTC has released the modem driver for WinXP and Vista for new WM6 as an after market support. You can google for this on HTC pages. I never used this, cause this new way seems to me a lot easier. Also I never heard about anybody who succeeded with does drivers.

I use Windows Xp and the firewall is OFF

With the new WM6 rom of Ivan works for me

Hi, just checking, my O2 WM5 rom don't come with the "Internet Sharing" program.
May I know how to get it?
My current rom version is 1.30.107

Can't open internet while plugged in to pc

Even though I've told ActiveSync to "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the destktop", it doesn't work, my smartphone SP5m connected via USB on my pc keeps telling me "Check your connection/network settings" whenever I need internet access and won't open any web pages or internet applications, why?
Under Connections settings, I usually have 2 options, either "Auto-detect settings" or "Select network" which has "The Internet" selected. But none of them works
And what's the difference between those network presets (The Internet, Work, etc)?
Thanks to all!
highmighty

go to setting\connections\usb to pc and deset advanced network funcionality

No matter if "advanced network functionnality" is enabled or not, it's the same, internet won't work when my SP5m is plugged in via usb. It's surely working fine though using WIFI... any other thoughts anyone?
Thanks

Just tested, same problem here and the weird part, it works if connected with a Bluetooth connection

i have that problem too.. connected to the laptop there is no internet connection with cabel but over bluetooth..
funny thing: if i connect to the desktop computer it does work with cabel
same security software (avira antivirus and pc tools firewall)
if anyone find a solution for that i'd be very glad. the problem itself doesnt matter as connection over bluetooth is more important to me but i just cant stand how illogical it is..

PC connect - still only as "Network adapter"

I have a problem to connect Polaris to PC.
It works without any problems (ActiveSync, copying, synchronizing,...) until I launch application "internet sharing" and try to share mobile internet for my PC.
It did not works, Polaris was not found in computer as any device, no internet sharing works, so I turned off the USB connection for sharing the internet and close the application "Internet sharing" in Polaris.
After connecting Polaris to PC again, Polaris is finded only as "Network Adapter" in device manager as "Windows-mobile network adapter" without drivers (with "?" in picture). If I delete this adapter manually while Polaris still connected, Polaris is found again, but still only in "Network adapters" as "Windows-mobile device".
I tried hard-reset of my Polaris, reinstall of SctieSync. Nothing helped, still the same connections to PC, only as "Network Adapter".
Installed is oficial HTC ROM WM6, czech customization.
I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Can anybody help please??
Many thanks

Open the Internet Sharing app, select the access point (you mobile internet connection), select the connection method (USB or Bluetooth, in this case USB), tap connect... now connect the PDA to the PC, wait a few seconds and start browsing... forget the network adapters, forget everything... just use it

You did not understand me.
The fact that I did not run internet sharing is for me NOT a problem...
The problem is, that after unsuccessful internet sharing I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO connect Polaris to PC in ANY WAY.. For ActiveSync, or to move or copy files, to synchronize Polaris.. Even when application Internet Sharing is turned off......
Polaris is still conecting as Network adapter, no other way..

Check the activesync (PDA) settings...
When cradled
X Snychronize all PCs using this connection:
'USB
Same for the PC

That is of course checked..

Then I'm officially out of ideas... but one more thing can be checked out, if it behaves the smae way on another PC, then the error is in the PDA, if not, then something has gone wrong on your PC...

Bluetooth PAN with HTC Fuze

Hi All,
I'm trying to setup my computer so it can use my Fuze for an internet connection. I'm currently running...
IVT BlueSoleil version 6.4.249.0
EnergyROM 20090709 Standard
I am able to setup a pairing between my phone and my computer by connecting through BlueSoleil.
I notice that my phone connects to COM10 then disconnects, but it says paired on the BlueSoleil manager (don't know whats up with COM10).
I then go to Internet Sharing and connect (on my Fuze), it says device setup has finished, connect bluetooth PAN on PC.
I go back to BlueSoleil (on my computer), right click on my Fuze and click "Connect Bluetooth Personal Area Network" and it gives me "operation not succesful, please try again".
I'm not sure what else to do, I can connect through activesync using usb, but not through bluetooth.
Any ideas?

Update
I got something going on the connection but no internet connection.
Basically when the phone was pairing with the adapter, it would pop up the "COM Port 10" connected box. During the time it was trying to connect I would right click on the phone and click "connect to PAN" or whatever its called and it actually connected!
However, it assigned me a 169.something address and I opened IE in windows but it woudn't load any web pages....bummer.

I'm having a problem with the same ROM, NRG's last couple of ROM's haven't worked on Bluetooth Internet Sharing correctly for me. When I get a chance, I'm going to roll back to a few months ago when it was working for sure just to confirm it is something with the ROM.
BTW, mine connects successfully, but it doesn't give my laptop an IP correctly.

activesync don't use pan for bluetooth at all it does a direct serial connection over bluetooth not a pan network based one
here is a guide for pan
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
this search should give a lot of step by step guides how one
make the com bluetooth port and connect it giving the search
as it depend on which bluetooth stack being used in both ends

Solved....sorta
OK, so yesterday I had gotten an IP address and it was connected but I thought I wasn't getting any internet service. Turns out I was, but it was incredibly slow, and the connection would go on and off. It did what I wanted to do but its not useable.
While I'm posting, I wanted to do Activesync over Bluetooth but my Fuze has COM ports from 0 to 9 and my Bluesoleil has Com ports 10 and up. How am I suppose to get the two to communicate if I can't get them on the same port? If I try to create a new port in Bluesoleil it starts and 13 and keeps going up...

bever used that bluesoil but heard many bad things about that stack
never had any issues using ms or vidcomm stacks both on the pc side and pda side
and cross
but never really used PAN as I have a wifi router and even if I did not then
they are dirt cheap and if you got a cable or adsl modem you just plug that into the wifi router and connect your desktop with a cable as they are also swtichs

Changed ROM, very fast now
I changed ROM's this morning to the AHEN_ROM and wow, what a difference. Just connected to see what would happen and its just as fast as the USB connection was. I'm not sure what is different about the ROM's but I can surf the web over my phone connection very nicely now.
