I just went into Mac world and got my first mac laptop two weeks ago.
My wizard had already been upgraded to WM6.
In PC world, it's quite simple to use it as a modem over GPRS. Just turn on internet sharing.
How can I make it happen for Macbook pro?
Thanks.
if you still have you cd that came with your phone there should be a driver/how to on it for wm5 tethering.
wm6 pretty much your right just turn on internet sharing first then connect to GPRS and then plug it into you mac.
im sorry its off the top of my head but im sure that's it. im not at home at the moment. I don't think there is anything else to it. if I left anything out please someone correct me.
try that for now. good luck.
I was not around for a couple of days.
Thanks mdajunkie. Unfortunatelly I did try this way without success. Is there anybody with same problem like me?
Maybe this will help:

While its for setting up a Mac / Linux / Other as a client to an XP box doing ICS, it should be the same with your phone being the ICS server (I think).
I just stepped into the Mac world myself with a 15" MBP myself and I love it!
Using Bluetooth, it is VERY easy.
Turn Phone and MBP Bluetooth on, pair the device if you have not done so using "Set up Bluetooth Device".
Make sure your phone is connected to the internet. Load IE or Messaging and make sure it's connected. Then you can quit that program.
Load Internet Sharing on the phone.
PC Connection should be Bluetooth PAN.
Network Connection should be Cingular GPRS (Or similar)
Then hit Connect on the bottom left of the screen.
Now on the Mac, click the Bluetooth Icon in the top right of the screen and choose Join Network On ... (Phones name)
Thats it, you will now be using the phones internet.
Thank you all!
It works for BT! I have read same article.
here: http://weblog.techdad.net/2007/05/1...sharing-from-windows-mobile-6-to-mac-os-1049/
But I still failed in connecting with USB cable. Anyway, BT works.
Thanks again.
I desperately need to get ICS over WiFi working. I've tried WMWiFiRouter, but it either keeps giving me 'Fatal Error' or the connection drops off the moment the PC connects to it. I've also tried ICSControl.exe, a program that someone on XDA has created, but I just couldn't figure out how to get things going with that (or I'm too dumb).
Could someone please tell me the easiest way to get my data connection working on my laptop over Wifi? I'm using Raphael with the stock rom.
Cheers
its built in i think in the commanager last option. but it is set to bluetooth pan standard if i am correct.
you can try use advanced config 3.1 and goto data connections.. change private interface for internet sharing to wlan.
i was surprised to see Advanced Config had the option there. But it still doesn't work
I changed the private interface from the default of 'Custom' to WLAN11g1 and it asks me to soft-reset the device, which i did. Then I go into Internet Sharing, and I still only get 'USB' or 'Bluetooth PAN' as options. Am i missing something?
there is another wlan option in there.
i have no idea how this is supposed to work :/
one would think that setting this option would set the setting to wlan as supposed to. not sure if you should change it or not afterwards with the connectionsharingsettingstab. it probably overwrites the value in registry.
here is something you can try :
turn on wifi
set the option in adv config to TnetWln1
reset
turn on this wifi AP application and try using it
WMwifiRouter
Just tried WMwifiRouter on my Touch Pro and it worked fine
Works fine for me too. Takes all the hassle out of it!

2 questions:
1) Which network are you with? If your connection works but stops when you get ICS to try to connect, it may be blocked by your network if a) you are not allowed to use your mobile as a modem and/or b) ICS is not allowed. Does your connection work with standard email/web?
2) Why sharing your connection over wifi when BT pan works so well and so easily and you only need to share with your laptop? I use wifi when the laptop can connect directly to a router/hotspot, otherwise I use BT Pan. There is no real speed compromise as the bottleneck is the 3G connection itself), and BT 2.0 EDR offers a wide enough bandwidth for what you want to do. I use skype on my laptop with my 3G connection shared over BT PAN and it works a treat (that is, better than Skype 2.2 on WM!).
I'm probably missing something....

ICS has nothing to do with your carrier. It works the same way on your phone as it does on the pc. it merely routes the gateway to the devices connected to the ICS network.
I myself have a TP and use ICS with Softbank (softbank roms do not contain ICS) and it works fine.
I agree with you however, when it comes to bluetooth. Even if your PC doesnt have BT, it is well worth it to buy one of those nifty mini adapters.
they are so tiny, you wont even see them. But easy to setup and fast enough.
im with 3. nomal mail / web works fine. there are no restrictions by the network for ics. as for the BT question, I dont have BT on my laptop. it has built in wifi and i want to use that. i also have a mac n have never managed 2 get BT PAN working with os x.
Can't get BT pan to work with Vista either. My laptop does not "find" the HTC Touch pro as a pan enabled phone.
latest version works ok
Mod Edit: Attachment removed by request from the author.
the latest version is 1.10 not 0.94. have tried it with not much luck

Version 0.91 is the last "free" version of the program. It is no longer free and it's version number has changed as well, version 1.11 is the latest.

First make sure you have no active BT connection, either on your desktop/laptop or on the TP (i.e. BT Headset).
You need to go to Comm Manager (BT switched on of course!), select BT Options (lower right menu), Mode, and select "make this device visible to other devices".
Once you've setup a partnership, it will probably say "connection denied" on the first connection.
Don't be as dumb as me, got to internet sharing (all programs) and select BT Pan and Connect... Then try to connect BT Pan again...
It *should* work (works a treat on my Vista 32 desktop and my Sony TZ11 Laptop, I get around 400-500kbps down and a bit less up).
BT PAN
I followed your directions exactly, but the problem remains. I get however once the phone pairs with the laptop (HP tx2000) a request for the "Bluetooth peripheral device" driver. I can't find this driver so it has probably something to do with this.
Maybe you should try IcsControl.
It's free and works great.
Id go wmwifirouter route. I have never had good luck with icscontrol never could get it to work and it pissed me off instead

You need to update the bluetooth driver for your laptop. Check the manufacturer (in, the device manager), usually widcomm or toshiba, and try to get it from their website if HP doesn't provide it (although they should). Vista drivers usually work, but I guess you're using XP? It may be worth checking on HP website to see if their offer updated BT drivers for your laptop.

I've tried both versions of the program (free old V0.91 and trial for the commercial V1.11).
They both work with the Touch Pro (tried with my Vaio TZ11).
V1.11 is however around 20% faster (I get an average of 500kbps with V0.91, and consistently above 600kbps down with the V1.11).
So the old version gives about the same bandwidth as my BT Pan (without the convenience of sharing between more than one client), while the V1.11 seems to be better optimised and provides better bandwidth.
The response time is around 100ms for both (against around 140ms for BT Pan). Upstream is around 300kbps for both version , against 400kbps for BT Pan.
This is on a UK T-Mobile HSDPA connection, with 3/4 bars signal strength (could those who manage to get it to work let us know if they get better figures?).
You should obviously get much better with Vodafone in a 7.2Mbps area like London/Major airports.
I was wondering if its possible to use wifi tether to connect to a ps3?
Because I tried but my ps3 won't run.
i googled it a while back got it to semi work but never fully functional you cant auto detect the settings have to manually put them in
same thing for xbox 360, I've tried wireless and wired (bridge over pc) tethering in the past, fails at NAT (network address translation)
To be honest, I have no idea why you would try. Even under the best 3G conditions, any game would have a high risk of lagging hardcore. I can see if there is no internet, so bummer, but I don't think it would be very playable.

I've played several games over 3G on laptop... it's not *quite* as bad as you'd think, with a good signal, it just depends on what games you're playing... just don't go around expecting to play any massive multiplayer first person shooters over 3g

can we get more details on this?
AFAIK PS3 does not support ad-hoc wireless networking. The PSP certainly doesn't...
Not really considered adhoc tethering. Should work if you know the proper setting for the PS3. Physically I guess it is adhoc but the PS3 should recognize the Hero as regular access point... so technically it's not.
I was a PS3 technician at SCEA.
So since I don't have any Wifi to connect to I've got the pc tethered to pc. i'm sharing it's internet connection.
confused as what exactly for manual settings i need to enter xbox side? or what further configuration pc side?
Anyone know how to get hero to serve as a hotspot rather than an adhoc network? I can do it with the new version of wifi tether on my evo, but not the hero. I've tried a dozen different versions and setups.
Also, for those who think its too slow; I play modern warfare online all the time with evo 3g connection with no issue. Also stream justin tv and ps store movies. May just be a reception issue for some.

Infrastructure mode is now being supported for certain devices if you go to the google code site for wireless tether for root users. I can't say for sure whether it works for the Hero or not, though.
What I do is with my w7 laptop, I have an ethernet cord running from the laptop to my ps3 or xbox, whatever I decide to play. I have my hero flashed with dc 1.2(?) for the correct PRI to do mobile network sharing, then I connect my hero, turn on MNS< bridge the connections, and I game online (all the time) and have a rare lag here and there, and an occasional boot, but nothing to get pissed over. it's a blast, really!
3G wifi Tethering without laptop
I tryed to connect my PS3 wiresly to my Tilt 2 using but it never seems to find it. I dont have a computer and 3G WiFi on my cellphone is all i got. Any tips to get a Tilt 2 wiresly connected to a PS3?
Wireless Tether for Root Users creates an Ad-Hoc network, which the PS3 can't identify.
Sadly the only way to do it IS to have an internet connection to the computer and set up a public network via wifi.
Edit: Overlooked the ethernet cable method, my mistake.

This is exactly what i do but with winXP. I get some lag every now and then but multiplayer is surprisingly very playable over 3g.

I think the Hero is missing certain drivers that can only support an actual hotspot connection rather than ad-hoc.
I have a Sprint hero and just want to say it is possibly to play online using the wifi tether. Though ive only done it on the xbox 360 but see no reason why you wouldnt be able to do it on the ps3. You connect as if it were a router and thats it!! I only had two bars and still played MW2.. just try it
dwigginstm can u explain how u do it?
I try that already it dont really work for me, you really need to get good signal if you going to connect wifitethering if the signal strong it might be picked up on ps3. But if you connect to ps3 with wifitether your game that you playing might lag cause of connection from your phone
I've been reading that most devices that try and get remote desktop to work on their phones only work through wifi. I so far have been able to do this, but only through wifi on my HD2. Still I do get 3G coverage in my area and I would like to use remote desktop no matter where I'm from. So has anyone been able to do this? I'm hoping it can work, but I haven't read any solutions to this. I'm using a HD2 with custom Dutty's Rom.
Moved as not software release.
I see no reason why it would not, as long as your ports are forwarded correctly. I've never tried RDP on my phone outside of wifi, but I do it from desktop computers all the time and it usually works well.
Hi,
I'm not sure this forum is the best place for this issue but I'm hoping for some suggestions on what might be wrong.
Since three days back it's no longer possible for me to connect to my usual VPN service on neither my tablet or phone. It's only at home on my own LAN (haven't tried any other LANs), it works just fine via 3G.
There's no problem connecting with my desktop PC or laptop.
It's really annoying when trying to be super secret!!!
Cheers.
And now it works again!
ZzZzZz.....
