Hi to all.
In the new roms from WM 6. Have and application called "Internet sharing"
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

iam able to sync. both with usb cable and bluetooth. but not able to connect internet in my desktop.
internet is connected in the device.
modem is not visible in my desktop after connecting with the blutooth or usb cable. but i can do syncronisation.
i donot have wirless modem icon in my device.
please help and solve my problem
your pda doesn't supply a connection to your PC automatically.. it's only the other way around.
you can use either Internet Sharing (you can find material about it in this forum using the search option) or you can use a brilliant app called WMWifiRouter
Hi all,
I travel and work in countries where there is bad or no network coverage, so I use a satellite uplink to connect to the Internet most of the time. This works fine from a laptop, but unfortunatelly not from my new Touch Pro 2.
The satellite uplink is a Thane&Thrane Explorer 500 (BGAN). It is a closed box, meaning you cannot install software other than firmware updates. It can connect using TCP/IP cables and Bluetooth. Bluetooth is what I need.
To make it work from a (MS-Vista) laptop, this is what I did:
- boot the Explorer 500;
- boot the laptop;
- from the laptop pair to the uplink;
- devices available: com port;
- connect to the com port;
- on the laptop start a tool called 'BGAN Launchpad' and from this select the BT com port;
- now the laptop is connected to the internet.
note 1: the LaunchPad tool is not needed when the laptop and the uplink are connected by a network cable.
note 2: the uplink manual states that this device should offer not only a BT com port, but also a DUN service. From both the laptop and the smartphone, only the com port is visible.
What I did to connect the WM6.1 smartphone to the uplink:
- boot both devices;
- pair them from the smartphone;
- connect the com port;
All this works fine. But the problem is:
- I cannot run launchpad on the smartphone (no WM app);
- I cannot setup a new dialup network from the phone (BT com port is not listed);
Note: all software on the phone is still original and works fine. Connections using 3G is not a problem. I am just not able to get a network connection over BT to the uplink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I am trying to set up the Internet connection from my notebook via PDA. Both notebook and PDA are connected via Wifi, so PDA basically works as access node-point and router bw two networks, the wireless one and mobile. The reason for doing all that is because my notebook is not equipped with mobile GSM-modem or Bluetooth, so I cant surf the Internet from my notebook when I am in the car for instance.
The wireless connection is already in place (thanks to WMWifiRouter), however the access to Internet from notebook is not working. To my understanding before I can go connected I will have to install on my notebook a driver for mobile GSM-modem on PDA (at least this is how it worked for my old Qtek S110 which I used to connect to notebook via USB cable ).
The 1st question that I have to ask is how to install a modem driver in Windows 7 manually?
The 2nd question is what network settings I shall enable on my notebook for firewall and for network detection (Control Panel - > Network control Centre - > Change public access parameters)?
Hardware: notebook Acer Extensa 4630Z with Windows 7 Home x64, PDA RoverPC G7 Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1.
