You have to install Activesync and will be done. Driver is installed with ActiveSync.

Try this version of AS...

Internet sharing from your Universal to an XP PC
I had looked for a solution for this for some time, I then tried the following option, which required my computer to be connected to the internet initially, I hope it works for you.
Enable Internet Sharing in your Universal, plug it into your internet enabled XP computer with the normal USB cable (Active Sync if installed should disable and lose it's green colour) your computer at this time should be looking for new hardware drivers, if you enable the option for it to look for drivers on the Microsoft site automatically (this takes some time for your computer to search the microsoft site and find the driver), then it sholud find it.
After the hardware driver successfully installs (forgive me I don't remember the name, it had 'idvendor & modem' somewhere in it) then you should be able to unplug your ethernet cable, USB internet connection, disable your wireless which every it is you use, and as long as you computer is set up correctly (I think automatically acquire DNS and IP , the default or standard settings found in networking should be fine) then you should be able to go through the whole process again and this time your computer has the right drivers and will be able to utilise internet connection sharing through your Universal channeling it through to all programs on you computer
It worked well for me, I had my work station on this internet sharing connection through my Universal and unlimited T-Mobile web&walk for 2 weeks, because when we moved our ISP could not initiate ADSL for that period, everyone in the office would use it and it was constantly logged in to remote exchange server, several instant messaging protocol
and surfed the net easily

Could you please tell me, how do I Enable Internet Sharing on my Universal, i have looked for a way to do it but I cannot find any setting or something similar.

Internet Connection Sharing .cab on XDA Developers

Hi, you'll need to find Internet Connection Sharing cab or installer, it is very likely linked to on XDA Developers if you want to do a search, it might even be down loadable from Microsoft's site!
If any one finds one could they post a link?

Sudden problem with ActiveSync

Suddenly I have a problem with activeSync. I cannot connect my phone to activesync of my desktop pc (vista-usb) or my laptop (winXP-bluetooth). My desktop pc show the message shown in attached image. At the same time ActiveSync in my mobile device show the message 'Waiting for network'.
I tried several things like closing the firewall, changing 'USB to PC' setting and restarting all machines.
It worked perfect before. Today I was playing with Visual Studio 2008 and remote debugging which worked in the beginning. I also installed MyMobile application (shows mobile device's screen on desktop).
Do you have any ideas?
edited: here is some additional problems! I cannot install any application (by launching a cab file directly in the device)! I get 'Installation of <appname> was unsuccessful'. Also the list of installed programs in settings>system>remove programs is empty!

I've had similiar problems in the past. I've been able to get back online by removing ActiveSync completely and then re-install.
I'd love to find easier solutions if anyone has suggestions.

You mean on host PC?
But the problem seems to be on device. I cannot make it connect to any of my two PCs. And it has other problems also.
And one of the two PCs is Vista. How can I re-install Mobile Device Center (activeSync equivalent)?

Simple question?

Can i use internet connection from my PC (connected by cable - 512/64 speed) to surf on my mobile device?
I have c600, windows mobile 6.0, data cable ,...
on the other side i have cable net w. cable modem, speed 512/64, Windows XP SP2, Active Sync,...
if the answear is YES than can i split connection between PC and mobile.
(for example. 1/4of the speed uses mobile device and the rest for PC)
THX!

You should be able to as long as you had the option to do advanced network sharing (or whatever it's called) selected when you first mated the phone with the PC in ActiveSync. If you're not able to, delete the mating, and re-do it. You will see it - it's impossible to mate the phone without acknowledging this prompt (in ActiveSync v4.5).
As far as bandwidth sharing, I don't think you can split it up like that. The phone is using the PCs bandwidth, and I'm not sure if you can go into your routers settings to allocate bandwidth allocation. Why would you want to do that anyway?

I have tried with cables (Active Sync connection) and surfing is perfect but im now going this way because it is easier.

ActiveSync via BT on Vista with 2125?

Has anyone been able to get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth in Vista with a 2125? Which English ROM will I have the best of luck with as my USB Bluetooth on my desktop computer running vista ultimate x86 keeps telling me that my phone doesnt support activesync over bluetooth.
Also where can I get the Stock Cingular ROM for my 2125?
Can anyone point to to a guide on how to set it up?
any ideas?
many thanks,
SG

No one has because you dont need Active Sync in Vista, Vista comes preloaded with Windows Mobile Device Centre

Sorry I meant to say "Windows Mobile Device Centre"
I cant tell if it is becuase of my USB BT Dongle or my 2125. When I try to esablish a BT ActiveSync connection from my 2125 it says there is no partnership setup with a computer that supports activesync. yet I believe my BT Dongle does.
Any ideas?

Have you done a wired sync with that computer before? If not, you should do it. I've read that in the past. It fixed a sync problem with one of my phones, however, I've done it w/o too and it works. Have you created a BT Partnership between your computer and your phone? When you create the partnership, click on Advanced, re-confirm the PC name, then on the Services Window, checkmark Active sync. Then open active sync on phone, and click on right menu and chose Connect via BT. It should work. Good Luck!
EDIT: The partnership has to be created from the phone, not from the PC. If created from the PC, as far as my experience, it'll create a Modem Dialup connection partnership that will allow the PC to connect to the internet via BT using Wap connection on your phone. If you do want to create that too, use *99# as the dialup phone number. Leave blank the User name and PW.

Thanks for the reply.
When I try to setup a partnership from the phone I see my computer but I only see 3 service. Stereo somthing, handsfree, and something else but none of which are active sync. Yet when I look on my computer I see that activesync is in the list and selected.
I have a IOGear BT211 (Broadcom 2045) USB Dongle running in Vista Ultimate SP1.
Could it be my BT211 Driver? I have the latest version 5.1.x
Thanks,

Well the new phone I bought has all the drivers for Vista on CD. But its installed on my son's Laptop and he don't let daddy get nearby his toys LOL so, I really couldn't help more. I do know active sync works over BT with Vista. So I guess you'll have to keep trying. Do you have any instalation CD for your phone? From what I remember, if you don't have the "Outlook" that comes with the phone instalation, you might not be able to. I remember it didn't work untill we installed the one on the phone CD. All though, his Laptop had MS Office already installed. So... take a look around that.

My Bad. I had the wrong Window drivers installed for my BT on my desktop. LOL. Who would have though that the Windows XP drivers wouldnt work under Vista? lol
Thanks for the help.

activesync (Windows Mobile Device Center) via bluetooth on Vista
I went through a similarly difficult experience with a Lenovo laptop. I blogged about it here:
http://mitchwyle.blogspot.com/2008/11/activesync-via-bluetooth.html

So, I've been here before.

My question is, what would you do in my situation?
My Xoom connected to my computer (HP Pavilion dv6000) (Windows Vista) once before in past times. It will not connect anymore, I have done everything possible that people have said to do. Still in the same situation.
I connected it to my mothers Toshiba Satellite U505-S2950 (Windows 7)after installing Moto software, and its working perfectly.
Should I re-install Windows/Re-set to default? I've tried everything, from installing drivers, to changing permissions, to installing adb, blah blah blah.
I just recently found DropBox which I am using now, until I can figure out exactly what to do with my HP.
Anyone? TBH: I don't want to use my moms laptop every time I want to transfer a movie to my Xoom, rather it be mine.
Appreciation is high.

So I guess you are using your original Xoom USB cable, and have tried different USB ports (like the ones on the back if you have a tower), you tried with debugging on and off, you've tried with the USB plugged into the Xoom 1st and then into the computer as well as the other way around...do you have Windows Media Player (9?) installed on your pc? It seems it needs it to connect....

Its not a solution to USB woes as I reckon I am in the same position with XP Windows machines, but an alternative.
Why not run a FTP Server on either your Laptop or your Xoom....
I doubt its as fast as USB transfer but may be quicker than Dropbox (definitely quicker for me in the UK with cruddy upload speeds !!!)
I use FTPServ on the PC and SwiFTP on the Xoom as the FTP Server - I just switch each one on when needed depending on which copy method I feel like using
I use Total Commander for the FTP Client on the Xoom.

Interesting idea...

This I suppose could be seen to be quite drastic, but it will fix 99.9% of all USB related issues across windows OS's
*** Read first before actioning ***
>Right click My computer and manage, you are using Vista? So will probably need to run as admin.
>Go to device management and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
>Ok delete the lot
>Yup delete the lot
What this means is that it should now prompt you to reinstall the drivers for any USB device plugged in to the PC, yes you may find that you have to unplug and replug in your keyboard and mouse to re-install the drivers for those devices. But it should also re-install the Motorola Xoom drivers also.
At the end of the days its quicker to try this than re-install Windows
Unfortunately not every USB Root Hub or Host controller displays what it actually is, some do but that's a case of right clicking each one to see what it is. If for example it states that its a mouse then perhaps don't delete that one but hopefully you get my drift.
