Does anyone know how to configure WM6 internet sharing using WIFI via USB to a laptop PC which does not have WIFI?
When I click on the internet sharing, my Qtek 9000 running WM6 always tries to do GPRS/3G connection, even if the WIFI is on and fully functional.
Is there anyway to change that?
Thank you in advance.
From what I understand is that is does exactly what you explain, it will share your device's GPRS/3G internet connection. But I dont think you can turn the Qtek into an accesspoint for laptops to connect to via WiFi or share an incomming WiFi signal.
Biffert,
Yes, you are correct. I want to turn my Qtek 9000 as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth Access Point. Or simply view it as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth internet access super USB dodge for my PC.
Thank you for your pointing out about current internet sharing limitation of WM6.
However, there are two issues about the WIFI can not be shared.
One is that I am often in a place where has no GPRS, only have WIFI.
The other is that there are many regular PDAs which have no GPRS, only have WIFI. When WM6 is available for those regular PDAs, many people will ask this internet sharing via WIFI question.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have done this just now and what you need to do on WM6 is just configure the gprs / 3g settings on your mobile phone and then go to start-programs-internetsharing. The jasjar should be connected via usb.
Set the pc connection to USB and select the nework connection you have previously configured from the list. hit the connect button and you are done

You could use the GPRS/3G internet sharing to connect your notebook to the internet, and share that connection (using ICS) from the notebook (set the wifi card to Ad-Hoc mode). I have never tried this though, so I'm 100% sure it will work
Thank you to all for your suggestions.
The limitation is that if there is not GPRS available, even though my Qtek is already connected to internet (WIFI), my PC is not able to access internet via USB using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
I think that I need to describe the situation in detail.
I have a PC which can not access internet because it does not have WIFI, or BlueTooth, or GPRS. But it has a USB port.
I have a Qtek 9000 which can access internet by either WIFI, or GPRS, or BlueTooth. And my Qtek 9000 has WM6 internet sharing enabled.
What I want to do is to connect PC with Qtek 9000 via USB cable to let my PC to access internet using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
Idealy, regardless how my Qtek 9000 is connected to internet (WIFI, GPRS, BlueTooth and etc.), my PC should be able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
The current WM6 internet sharing is limited to that if Qtek 9000 is connected to GPRS internet, my PC is able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing. If Qtek 9000 is connected to WIFI internet, WM6 internet sharing will not work.
I think this issue will be resolved sooner or later because when regular PDAs start to use WM6, many people will want to have WIFI WM6 internet sharing because regular PDAs do not have GPRS.

Between PCs and regular PDAs, usually the internet connection sharing would go the other way around. Nearly all laptops these days come with a Wifi card and virtually all desktop or laptops come with Ethernet NICs. For this reason I think that perceived demand is low and this functionality was not envisioned when WM6 ICS was designed.
I think the easiest way would be to get a USB wifi adapter for your PC... You won't have to worry about battery life on the phone, etc.
Wondering how possible it is to do something slightly different. I have a UTStarcom PPC-6700 running one of the various AKU3.5s out there. The Internet Sharing feature is great, but the only options are to connect the PC via either USB or Bluetooth.
Now, what would be really slick, since the 6700 has integrated WiFi, would be to enable Internet Sharing over WiFi and effectively turn the 6700 into a WiFi access point. Anyone make any progress on this?
And... I'm new here, so please accept my apologies if I have asked something that has been already asked ad nauseum.

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to share the internet (wifi) connection of my tornado, over the USB cable, giving internet access to my laptop.
How can I do this? (I have WM5)
Thank you
I don't think that that is possible at all on WM devices.
Hello,
I connect tornado device to a Wi-fi hot spot, and I want to know if it is possible to share its internet connection with other devices through bluetooth.
Thanks in advance!

At the moment, you can share only your data (GPRS/EDGE) connection though PAN/USB (Internet Sharing app) or ad-hoc WiFi (WiFiRouter app). Unfortunately WiFi connections cannot be shared, neither thought USB nor PAN. If I am wrong, please do correct me!
There is a way, but only for PDA, i think it shares wifi via BT
Are you sure that it is possible to share the internet connection.
I tried with ipaq 2215 pda, but I couldn't manage to connect.
Thanks in advance.

isnt it a program called internet sharing dont work so well with me but i think wifi via bl will be slow
Internet Sharing using my SDA?
I've been banging my head on this one. I've got "Internet Sharing" App installed on my SDA with WM 6.0. I can connect to my Laptop via USB cable and "share" the internet in that way. I"ve tried "Internet Sharing" via Bluetooth or DUN attempts via BLuetooth to no avail. Any hints how to get Bluetooth functioning with "Internet Sharing" or DUN? Thanks in advance.
When I enable wi-fi router on my topaz, the network is not seen by either the PC or netbook. I tried to create an ad-hoc connection too but it seems like the PC waiting connection by the device (and I need a reverse communication..) Anyone can help me? Thanks so much!
Hey guys. I have a small problem with my AT&T Fuze and the app called WMWifiRouter. I can succesfully connect my Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 to the internet by USB and wifi, but not by bluetooth. I know that Bluetooth PAN is required but my phone is listed as one of the devices that has Bluetooth PAN. I even checked and it has a Bluetooth PAN adapter. I recenetly bought a bluetooth dongle for my laptop so it can use bluetooth because i wanted to try the bluetooth connection. When i go and connect my phone and my laptop, it doesnt give a connection via PAN. It only provides DUN, the connection that WMWifiRouter says not to use. Can anyone help me to connect my fuze to the laptop via WMWifiRouter so i can use the internet?
