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!

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..

WM6 Wifi status problem

Hi,
I am using WM6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332945) and have recently bought a wifi sd card for my phone. it is a pluscom SDIO 802.11g, but it keeps saying in the WLAN settings Turn On Wifi and in comm manager it shows the wifi picture with a small X in the bottom corner. I can connected and use it but I can't turn it on or off how do I fix it
Thanks In advance,
Will

Same problem here with a sandisk wifi card.

I have the same problem with my sand disk wifi card but i don't mind. the most important thing is I can connect to internet from my router

Couldn't get to Internet using Bluetooth PAN

I have treo 750v, WM6.
I have done the procedure below:
1. Pairing my device with the laptop via Bluetooth.
2. On my Treo, clicked start > internet connection sharing > chosing bluetooth pan > click connect.
3. Device told me to activate Bluetooth on my PC. then I activated my Bluetooth PAN on my laptop. (I'm having BlueSoleil bluetooth manager installed on my laptop).
4. Treo said "Connected". My BlueSoleil manager said connected with an animation showing a link between my device and laptop icons. It even showed some message of its assigned IP address, etc.
But, i can not connect to internet on my laptop. I did ping to google, it said "Request time out".
Very weird, because when I choose USB Cable to do internet connection sharing, the connection is working seamlessly, i can connect to internet, good ping to google or any other sites, but not with BT PAN.
Please advice what to check, what to do, etc.. thanks

no replies yet, i hope someone will read and provide some suggestion for my problem. thanks

How about using the Windows' bluetooth manager?
My bluetooth places -> entire bluetooth neighborhood -> right click on your device name -> connect Network Access Point
I use this method every time and it always works.

Rgds,

I tried it just now as you suggested. it then says network connected. but then i cant connect to the internet from my laptop. so i back to using the USB cable, and it works flawlessly.
i wonder where's the missing key???

Two things:
1. With the Windows bluetooth, once the devices are paired and a connection is established (Internet Sharing on the Treo), goto the little bluetooth icon in the systray and right-click on it. Click on the "Quick Connect" menu and select "Network Access". Once you have clicked on "Network Access" you should see your phone listed (my 750 shows as the name I entered for "Owner Information"). Select your phone and that should do it. These steps are similar to the ones I use for my Macbook as well.
2. Regarding BlueSoleil Manager: when I lasted used it I remember having to set up the serial ports manually so they could be used for communication between the desktop and the phone. I haven't used the BlueSoleil since I had a Treo 650, but I still have the software. I'll load it up and see if I can't help you with your problem.

So I got to work and loaded up BlueSoleil on a system running MS Server 2003 SP2. The bluetooth dongle I'm using is a TRENDnet TBW-101UB V2 with BlueSoleil version 1.4.9.2 build 041108, stack version 04.03.15.20041105.
I paired my stock AT&T Treo 750 to the machine. Started "Internet Sharing" on the Treo making sure to select bluetooth pan and the AT&T network Once this was done I right-clicked on my phone icon in the BlueSoleil Manager and select "Connect." The I choose the "Bluetooth Personal Area Networking Service" and open a web browser to test... so far its worked every time.
Some notes:
1. The internet sharing on the treo isn't instant, give 20 seconds or so to fully connect.
2. The BlueSoleil manager connects even slower... give it 30 seconds.
3. Try repairing the phone.
4. If using the BlueSoleil software, disable the windows bluetooth as the MAY be a conflict there. Basically use one or the other.
I'm not sure if any of this is going to help, but I hope it puts you on the right track.

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...
