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,
Is there anybody to tell me what is the setting for internet connection via usb
on WM6, on WM5 it was automatic when I was connect on the PC.
Thanks for help.
on WM5 there was something called WMODEM which is missing from WM6
But now we have a better 'Internet Sharing' under programs which does the same thing but perhaps a bit better.
cheers

Hi all,
My unbranded Touch Pro is not having any success with using my PC's Internet connection, via ActiveSync pass-through.
This is the case be it with my home laptop running Vista, or my Windows PC running Windows XP, which I've upgraded to run the latest ActiveSync.
When it connects, it seems to allocate the mobile an IP address, but the phone will not use it. It will just try anything else instead, such as GPRS.
The phone's Internet access via 3G, Wifi etc is just fine.
My old phone (HTC Hermes) still works just fine with both PCs in this regard.
So clearly I need to tweak something on the Pro to get this to work! Any ideas?
Thanks!

I know this is a very old post but I have the same problem, my phone connects, syncs etc.. BUT, if I try to update weather or update FB, it contacts, it still needs to connect to 3G (not event wifi)

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but try this:
Go to (on your phone) Start -> Settings -> System -> USB Settings
and make sure "Enable faster data sync..." is checked.
Disconnect and reconnect your phone to USB.
If that doesn't work, open ActiveSync on your computer and go to File -> Connection settings and enable "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop".
That should disable 3G while your phone is connected to your pc.
Besides BOTH of those, if it still doesn't work, check (on your computer) Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections.
Make sure there is an entry in there that says "Windows Mobile-based Device" as the grey subtitle under one of the "Local Area Connection" entries or anything else.
If the device STILL isn't working, the last thing to do is check your firewall.
If you have plain 'ol windows firewall, make sure that it's not enabled on the "Windows Mobile-based Device" connection. I know that usually is the most overlooked problem I've had.
Hope that helps you, I've had this happen to me a few times after flashing ROMs. Only thing is I don't have a data plan, so it sure was a costly mistake.

Did you try reestablishing a new relationship between your phone and AS?
Yes but still doesnt work.

Check your firewall, I know that was an issue I had recently with my phone. I had just installed ZoneAlarm and it decided to block everything going in AND out of my computer on all interfaces.
If it's not your firewall, then try turning off "Allow USB connections" in the ActiveSync connection config, reboot, then turn it back on. That should do the trick.
Thank you for the answers but I found the problem.Somehow the device driver was disabled in the Windows Device Manager.I just enabled it and it ran
Excellent! Good to hear you got it working

Go to Settings-Connections-Connections on your device then Advanced followed by Select Networks.
Theres two drop down boxes, the device will try to connect to the internet via the network selected in the first drop down box, if that fails then it'll go through the network in the second drop down box.
Try setting both of them to "My Work Network" which has no settings and see if that will allow you to connect to the internet from your computer via activesync.

I set mine to "Network," and then in the Proxy Settings Tab, I checked "This network connects to the Internet." This finally worked for me.

Alright, so recently my HTC Fuze has been randomly denying any wireless connection only when it's connected to my computer. When its running on battery, it connects to my wireless router just fine. Is this just some issue with Windows Mobile? Before; I never had this issue.. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Phone Specs:
HTC Fuze
RRE Series 6 WM 6.5 21215 build 21215.5.0 RC3
Radio 1.14.25.05
My router is an Asus wl-500g Premium 2 running DD-WRT eko svn build 12030(4/30/09).
there's definitely an option for this somewhere on teh phone. i sadly can't find it right now but it's definitely something you can change. by default it's set to not allow any other connections while you're connected to your pc via activesync.
does anyone else remember where to find this setting?
