[Help] Can't connect via Wireless

Hi, I've just upgraded to WM6
everything goes very well except the wireless connection
i have connect my 818pro to network via wireless
and it is connects to "The Internet"
it connected successful and i can use Internet Explorer to go on the web and check my email in message box because i can set the connection via "The Internet" individually
but other programs that cant set the connection like Live Messenger, Windows Live, etc cant connected, i've try to set the connection in Settings>Connections>Connections>Select Networks, but i can only chose between My ISP and My Work Network, but not The Internet.
so can anyone please tell me how to connect the programs to wireless (The Internet) ?
i cant use those programs now.. =[
please, and thanks for reading my problem and hope someone can help me :]]
THANK YOU

Hi, which version of WM6 did you put on there? and is it only Live Messenger, Windows Live that you are having problems with? I ask because I personally have tried quite a few WM6 roms now and have had problems with these "Live" apps on most if not all. But if you specify your rom, maybe someone else will have a solution

i'm using Smart1 V2 rom
actually, all programs that cant set the connection individually in my device like opera, spb isight, cant connect via wireless, because i cant chose the programs' connection as "The Internet" in settings, it only allow me to chose between My ISP and My Work Connection.
Thanks

Internet Sharing. How to use it?

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

ActiveSync pass-through Internet not working

Hi all,
My unbranded Touch Pro is not having any success with using my PC's Internet connection, via ActiveSync pass-through.
This is the case be it with my home laptop running Vista, or my Windows PC running Windows XP, which I've upgraded to run the latest ActiveSync.
When it connects, it seems to allocate the mobile an IP address, but the phone will not use it. It will just try anything else instead, such as GPRS.
The phone's Internet access via 3G, Wifi etc is just fine.
My old phone (HTC Hermes) still works just fine with both PCs in this regard.
So clearly I need to tweak something on the Pro to get this to work! Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but try this:
Go to (on your phone) Start -> Settings -> System -> USB Settings
and make sure "Enable faster data sync..." is checked.
Disconnect and reconnect your phone to USB.
If that doesn't work, open ActiveSync on your computer and go to File -> Connection settings and enable "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop".
That should disable 3G while your phone is connected to your pc.
Besides BOTH of those, if it still doesn't work, check (on your computer) Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections.
Make sure there is an entry in there that says "Windows Mobile-based Device" as the grey subtitle under one of the "Local Area Connection" entries or anything else.
If the device STILL isn't working, the last thing to do is check your firewall.
If you have plain 'ol windows firewall, make sure that it's not enabled on the "Windows Mobile-based Device" connection. I know that usually is the most overlooked problem I've had.
Hope that helps you, I've had this happen to me a few times after flashing ROMs. Only thing is I don't have a data plan, so it sure was a costly mistake.

Did you try reestablishing a new relationship between your phone and AS?

Yes but still doesnt work.

Check your firewall, I know that was an issue I had recently with my phone. I had just installed ZoneAlarm and it decided to block everything going in AND out of my computer on all interfaces.
If it's not your firewall, then try turning off "Allow USB connections" in the ActiveSync connection config, reboot, then turn it back on. That should do the trick.

Thank you for the answers but I found the problem.Somehow the device driver was disabled in the Windows Device Manager.I just enabled it and it ran

Excellent! Good to hear you got it working

Go to Settings-Connections-Connections on your device then Advanced followed by Select Networks.
Theres two drop down boxes, the device will try to connect to the internet via the network selected in the first drop down box, if that fails then it'll go through the network in the second drop down box.
Try setting both of them to "My Work Network" which has no settings and see if that will allow you to connect to the internet from your computer via activesync.

I set mine to "Network," and then in the Proxy Settings Tab, I checked "This network connects to the Internet." This finally worked for me.

Internet Sharing Error?

Dear users,
I'm having trouble setting up 'Internet Sharing'.
Device informatie:
Wizard G3, T-Mobile NL, WM6 NL.
As all other programs work with my GPRS connection, Internet sharing won't connect. When I click 'connect' @ internet sharing, A balloon pops up to tell it cannot connect for unknown reason.
I had this problem with some other ROM's I tried, however, T-mobile WM5 (original) works...
Bytheway; I'm using Windows7 (won't work at XP too, already tried that) =)
Thanks for helping me out!
-- Edit --
Could'nt find anything on the net, getting full backup of my device now and trying Wm5 again within 60 minutes =)
-- > WORKED <--
@ WM5
Why not at WM6?

Which ROM do you have on your Wizard?
I have Xions WM6.1 ROM Build 20273 and I have the same problem. If I tell "Internet Sharing" to make a GPRS connection it fails. Any other program can make a GPRS connection.
Is this a Build 20273 specific problem or can it be fixed? Xions ROM is a kitchen ROM so changes can be done.

No mine is connected to GPRS but cannot connect due to a unknown error.
To solve your problem:
Settings -> Connections -> Manage existing (the gprs connection e.g. T-mobile Internet) -> Dropdown and select 'Connect'
Try again to use ICS

It does not matter if a GPRS connection is established or not. When I start "Internet Sharing" the status is alwyas disconnected. When I tell him to connect I get a bubblehelp that a connection cannot be established.
I tried it with no GPRS connection and I tried it with an established GPRS connection (discribed in your last posting). Always status: disconected!
I already build a vanaílla ROM to be sure that it is not an other software that makes the trouble.

Internet Sharing through USB?

Using WM6.
I used to browse the web using my device when connected to my PC with internet.
Then, don't know what setting I changed, now I am not able to use the internet of my PC for my device.
Before, I simply just plug the USB, start activsync and the internet worked.
Some settings for Internet Sharing or something?
Thanks

ok first goto active sync on pc and check setting file/connection settings/this computer connects to.............. and make sure the internet is selected and NOT my work network.

Using Stock Rom.
Checked as you said, but still not connecting.

" and make sure the internet is selected and NOT my work network."
no when you are connected to activesync and want to use your pc's internet
it's my work network you have to choose not internet

I dont know if this works on WM phones but there is a piece of software called JoikuSpot which will turn your phone into a Wifi hotspot, provided you have a wifi enabled phone. I have it installed on a N85 (sniff, dropped my diamond off the roof, still works but batt only lasts about and hour) and it works a treat. No need for blue tooth or cables.
