When I cradle my XDA, and then launch IE, it tries to use the PC's Internet connection instead of the XDA's internal GPRS. Is there a way to force it to use the XDA's GPRS to access the Internet instead of the ethernet connection on the PC when cradled?
I am not sure but I have the opposite problem. My XDAII always connects to GPRS rather than via my PC when cradled. Maybe we should compare settings. How is yours configured?
i recall the xda manual had some stuff about grps while places in the cradled
The answer is to change the settings in your PC ActiveSync. Go to Options, Rules and at the bottom is a section called "Pass Through". If you select "Internet" when your XDAII is cradled or synchronised via USB/IrDA/Bluetooth, Pocket IE will connect via your PC's internet connection. If you change the setting say to "Work" then Pocket IE will use the GPRS connection instead.
Hope this helps.

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

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
Does anyone know how to configure the remote desktop in WM6 to connect through GPRS. I have managed to get it to connect through a USB cable no problem but when I disconnect the cable and try it through GPRS it just says no connection and doesnt even try to connect to GPRS.
Any help appreciated.
Any specific program that you're using?
yeh would be good to know if this is possible i used Remote Desktop Mobile but all i can get is it to connect over wifi with the computer on that network, never over a data connection.
Try opening up internet explorer mobile first, let that connect to the internet for you through gprs and then run the remote desktop application.
Hello. I am having a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 WM6.1 Device. Recently, I've tried internet sharing via USB and it doesn't seem to work. My idea is to be able to have internet connection on my phone via USB that connects to my main computer that has ADSL connection.
After pressing 'Connect' is successfully connects but any internet usage I've made is via my EDGE connection, not ADSL.
According to Windows Vista Internet Sharing Center, my phone's network access is 'Local only' as apposed to my normal LAN connection which is 'Local and Internet'.
I've searched for a solution and I came to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 but it still does not work.
Apart from the problem of Internet Sharing, my WMWifiRouter can't seem to work also.
As far as I know, WMWifiRouter will need to have Internet Sharing to work first, so it's normal that it is not working. However, I found a rather interesting message whenever I connect the 'USB to WiFi' mode. A pop up box with the tile 'Pocket PC Networking' will say ' cannot obtain a server assigned ip address. try again later or enter an ip address in network settings'.
Can anyone share with me the proper IP address for WMWifiRouter on my PC and on my WM device?
Anyway, just to describe the problem I'm facing when I'm using WMWifiRouter.
1. I connect 'USB to WiFi', everything seems to work fine, the status is ready.
2. I can see my own network name on my laptop.
3. I click on it, and the message shows connected.
4. Tried to access the internet but it won't work.
So, the main problem now is...
1. There's something wrong with Vista causing any device that wants Internet Sharing to only connect to 'Local'
2. There's something wrong with my IP configuration.
Thank you all very, very much in advance for helping me out.
unless chainfire beats you to it and posts the answer here.. you can PM him
Alright, thank you very much for your suggestion!
Hi there,
I've been looking for a solution of the following problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me:
You all know that ppc (windows mobile) connected via ActiveSync to a computer has direct access to the internet connected to that computer (some kind of pass-through connection). I would like my ppc to act as a Wifi hotspot sharing that ActiveSync Internet connection.
Most Wifi sharing software available assumes sharing GPRS/3G etc. connection established via cellular network. I would like to share internet connection established via USB/ActiveSync pass-through.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Best regards.
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution? I have the same requirement.
Thanks,
Paolo
