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.

Please anyone: I can't connect anymore to internet via activesync when my jamin (prophet) is connected to my laptop, and my laptop to the net.
In other words, any program requiring a net connection (internet explorer, weather channels, newsland...) would automatically launch GPRS connection instead of "using" the already present activesync-internet connection.
Hope I was clear enough, and thank you for any help.
you pick network connection in connection settings
Thanks, it works. Should have found it myself...
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 it at all possible to share my smartphone/pocket pc wifi connection over BT?
The only threads I've seen relate to sharing cellular over Wifi (like turning your phone into an access point - not quite what I'm looking for
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

I'm looking for the same thing, i think...
I want to share a internet connection like this:
wifi AP ----wlan----> htc touch diamond ----bluetooth----> PC
Is it possible?
Tnx
im too looking for this, I have a laptop with bluetooth but without wifi.
Anyone found anything?
Sharing Internet on Windows Mobile device, with BT clients
I am looking for this as well. I have a laptop with no WiFi, but with BT, and a WM6 HP 211 iPaq. I would like to connect the iPaq to the Internet using WiFi (easily done), then share the Internet connection through Bluetooth, with my WinXP SP2 PC.
I have paired the devices. For example, I can do ActiveSync synchronization via BT between my PC and the iPaq.
"Netwok Access" connection via BT between iPaq and PC seems OK as well.
Still, when I go to "Internet Sharing" on the iPaq, the "PC Connection" field shows only "USB", it does not show "BT PAN".
Can anyone help? many thanks in advance

WMWifiRouter can do Wi-Fi to USB, but not BT at this time. It is coming up, though.
It is meant for PocketPC though, though it can work on Smartphone the experience is not as good.
could be useful as a kind of repeater
Ive been looking for an app to turn HTC Fuze into a Wi-Fi repeater, but I have bluetooth on my laptop so this would in effect be a signal repeater for me. The bottleneck from wifi to bluetooth would be pretty heavy though Im sure.
ICS Control
I discovered an app that seems to be able to do what you are asking for and most every other network sharing combo you can imagine. Its called ICS Control. It would be great to have a repeater app.
Bluetooth connectivity drops when WLAN is on
Hi guys
I have an iPaq 210 that I'd like to use as a WiFi card for an WinXP SP2 PC.
Here's my problem, which often happens (not always):
1. I turn on Bluetooth on the iPaq
2. I connect the PC to the iPaq using the "Explore my Bluetooth Places" wizard, then "Connect". It says "connected". Then on the XP "Network Connections" window, it says "acquiring network address", and shortly after: "connected". PC's IP address: 192.168.1.125, default gateway (the iPaq): 192.168.1.6. In fact, I've setup this static IP address on the iPaq using the ICScontrol utility. Both computers see each other and ping works both ways. In other words, BT PAN is up and working.
3. Here's the problem: I then turn on the WLAN (Wi-Fi). When the WiFi connects, ping stops working. Then I can't get to the Internet from the PC using the iPaq. "Network connections" still says: "connected" on the BT PAN network.
When I disconnect the WLAN, BT ping starts working again.
What to do?
TIA
Gail
dont really know how to fix this
Re: Bluetooth connectivity drops when WLAN is on
Can this point the way? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972305 ?
The problem is, that fix is for the system builder. Can someone suggest a registry setup or anything else?
damn, looking exactly for this
wanna use my touch hd with a bluetooth only netbook
hope someone can do it
btw, wmwifirouter seems the closest to do it
can do 3g to bt, but wifi only to usb
[]s
D2G wlan0 - bnep0
On the topic of reverse tether heRe
Ubuntu netbook and Droid 2 Global
Yes the 3g connection works, turn on wifi and
it seems to fall apart. I think there might be
some ip conflicts or I could use a bridge adapter
or something on my droid phone that is configurable,
maybe like br0 for an interface name.
sounds good to me.
what exactly happens when wifi is turned on
ifdown ppp0 ?
ifup tiwlan0 ?
thats exactly what appears to happen first ppp0 there and tiwlan0 not then, touch icon and run ifconfig -a again and it is now the opposite. All ifb interfaces unchanged..
both bnep0 and tiwlan0 on same subnet and have different ip, but tiwlan0 gets dhcp and bnep0 I believe is static.. A routing table could help.
Do I need to add new modules? can this be configured?
Hello Everyone,
When we connect WM phones over Active Sync, we are able to run internet on WM Phone through desktop's connection.
So, I have this old XDA Stealth with me, and I thought of using it as a Wireless Router for sharing Desktop's Internet Connection with Laptops and other WiFi Devices.
Upon using WMWiFiRouter, I'm getting error saying there is no connection defined. That's right because I don't have any data plan and no modem has been defined.
So how can I share my desktop's internet connection with other devices using WM Phone as a Wireless Router (wherein the only way for WM Phone to access internet is through USB Cable and Active Sync).
I would appreciate any help.
Thnx
Sonny
In other words I wanna share Desktop Pass Through Connection over WiFi.
Please help, ain't there any way of doing this?
In other words, you want to share your internet connection that came from WM Wifi, to desktop computer,.
or
You want to sharre your internet connection that came fro your desktop wifi, to your WM device?
Do you want to achieve something like:
Internet->Computer->wired link->WM device->Wi-Fi->other devices
which if it's not possible in WMWifiRouter seems an oversight, and one which the development team may want to know!
Thats right! Its this way.
Cable Model >> Desktop >> Active Sync >> WM Device >> WM Device's WiFi >> Other Devices.
Ain't this possible, if I try forwarding Active Sync's IP?
Here is what I tried,
I configured WM Phone's WiFi's IP add to 192.168.0.1.
Next I got the connection detected on my laptop and pinged the IP and got the reply, but was unable to access internet. Guess ICS was not enabled.
Now how can I forward the IP for Activesync to be used as a gateway to access internet on the laptop through the WMPhone.
i have the same problem as the thread starter here....want to use my old pda2k as a wifi router for my e71...pass through works on pda2k but wmwifirouter doesnt work!
worked follow exact instruction on this page!
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/documentation/41/USB_to_Wifi
Hey Thnx!
I got it working!. But the range and speed sucks!
Is there any way of increasing the range of WM5 device's WiFi interface?
I'm planning to plug a wire to the WiFi antenna and connect it to an aluminium sheet which would be like a parabola covering one side of the phone, hope this would work well.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Hi there,
I've been looking for a solution of the following problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me:
You all know that ppc (windows mobile) connected via ActiveSync to a computer has direct access to the internet connected to that computer (some kind of pass-through connection). I would like my ppc to act as a Wifi hotspot sharing that ActiveSync Internet connection.
Most Wifi sharing software available assumes sharing GPRS/3G etc. connection established via cellular network. I would like to share internet connection established via USB/ActiveSync pass-through.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Best regards.
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution? I have the same requirement.
Thanks,
Paolo
