Hi I am a newbie and purchased the phone a week ago. I am a heavy user of Symbian phone and is new to the windows smartphone.
Now while connecting Internet on PC through my VOX as modem I am facing problem. The manual is also not very elaborate about the same. Will somebody expalin explain in details the process to be followed. Please guide both using VOX as USB modem as also BT PAN modem.
For information I am from INDIA and is a subscriber of BSNL postpaid unlimited GPRS.
Thanks.
you dont need to connect vox as a modem.
just use the internet connection sharing and hook up to your PC using the miniUSB cable and thats it.
It works as a charm. No modem drivers no initialisation commands, no crap at all. Just hook up and use.
ain't that easy ?
not able to us internet with USB
i m facing the same issue., the GPRS works fine on mobile but when connected to PC using the USB, i get the error stating that limited connectivity....can u help me...when tried the service providers help line, they say that need to use VOX as external modem. I m sure that those guys are pretty intelligent greeks
Can u help me please
m using Airtel GPRS and based in DElhi India
even I am a airtel subscriber and it works perfectly in my Vox.
The internet connection sharing is flawless and perfect.
Dont even try asking the service providers helpline. They are pretty much useless.
If you get a limited connectivity error then its definitely because of a weak signal in your area. Try it at a place where you have strong connection and it will work like a charm....
Thanks to both prajith and lokeshmudgal.
After going through various forums etc I found out the following which I want to share with you all.
The concept of using phone as a external modem have been stopped by Microsoft to make the things easier. They have instead given a new option of internet dharing to make the thing user friendly. I was able to connect internet in my PC through internet sharing option of the phone but the speed is very slow in comparison to my nokia / sony ericsson etc. Moreover trying to connect net through bluetooth PAN is more difficult.
In fact after using symbian s60 3rd ediition and win mobile 6 I find that browsing is faster in VOX but when using this for internet sharing / modem the browsing is better in Symbian.
A detailed report can bbe found here. Just go through and give your opinion.

Hello Everyone
I just bought a new XDA II on O2 network. This is the first time am using a PDA. I just want to knw whether i can use this PDA to connect to my laptop through a Private Area Network using bluetooth and thus share the internet on the PDA? If yes, could some one give me a hand on how to configure it?

when you are connected to activesync using bluetooth then you can surf on the internet unless your firewall is set to block it or you disabled the option in activesync on the pc

try picking my hone network or what ever it's called in connections advanced somewhere
is there any .cab file i can get for that?
the thing is that i dont have internet in my house (desktop) and i would like to use my t-mobile wing to pick up signals, or other networks so i can connect my pc to the internet.
my cousin has this little lynksys* usb thing and he picks up signals from his window and technically he has free internet.
i had the little lynksys* usb thingy oo but it didnt pick up any signal. and if i use the internet sharing it from t mobile it sucks because the internet on my phone its slooooooow.
can someone please help me? thank you

Has something recently changed with the search system ? I've been trying to search for this within the polaris section and getting nowhere. I know this has been asked before but I can't find any mention....
I'm after a faq for using my new orbit 2 as a 3g modem for my laptop. I've found the 'internet sharing' app within WM6 which I can run while connected via a USB cable to the laptop. I've got a web/email bolt on ( fairuse up to 200Mb ) so I think I should be able to connect to the web via my phone and run email/web/vpn on the laptop.
I think I may need some kind of driver for windows so that it recognises the phone as a modem when internet sharing is running.
also once i've got the modem connected I can't quite see how I make the connection to the internet. I'm assuming internet sharing will connect to to 'mobile web', will that give me an internet connection that the laptop can use. Do I need to do anything in windows ie new network connection ?
Thanks in advance.

Just run Internet Sharing and connect PDA to laptop. Polaris with my laptop (win Vista 32 bit) works as modem perfectly and you do not need any other settings.
for Xp u need Activesync to be installed
That was easier than I thought. Just run the internet sharing app and you're away. I'm typing this sat on the train ! Speed isn't too bad ! I'm really impressed. Thanks for your help.
But there isn't any Internet Sharing Option
Hi guys I have XDA Orbit 2 & in Command Manager there isn't Internet Sharing Option as there was in other WM phones, plz let me know
There should be a CAB for ICS around here... try to search for it...

I don't know what Command Manager is, but it's just there in your program's list when you hit Start > Programs
Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
Hope it's this
It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:
"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "
google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...
hope this helped
Thanx!
I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?
Hi , so after I update my Lumia 710 , I got the new option of internet sharing , I tried it with a BlackBerry device and it just worked fine , on my laptop I tried to connect and the OS told me that I should turn on DHCP for Wireless networks , I did that and I just got connected and everything , my Windows7 network and sharing center shows me connected to the internet via this network , BUT still no internet access.
and ideas ?
thanks in advance

could be your provider? if not make sure you add the connection to your home network and not public or work.
Thanks for the reply,I made sure it is home network,but what do you mean by provider,can my provider block me from accessing the 3G connection from my laptop ? People used to wire their old mobiles to work as modems to connect,why would this be different ?, i think lm missing something obvious here.
Wired tethering (where the phone acts as a cellular modem for the PC) and wifi tethering (where the phone acts as a WiFi access point) are different, and require different software. The software for the latter will frequently include checks to see if your mobile operator permits tethering. USB modem tethering works differently and, assuming you configure the PC to connect in the ame way as the phone, is essentially indistinguishable.
Note that all of the gen1 Windows phones could also do USB tethering, although it was unofficial and sometimes a bit of a hack. I don't know if the Lumias have such a hack or not, but if they do, it should work even if the WiFi tethering doesn't.
Alternatively, since you're on a 710, you could (if you want) install a custom ROM. This would enable you to use WiFi tethering without the operator check, among many other cool hacks. Nobody has yet found a way to do high-privilege hacks on a stock Lumia ROM, though.
Also, in what way does your Internet connection not work? Do you receive an IP address? A DNS server? If you type "ipconfig /all" into the command line, what output do you get? (Please, just the lines about your wireless network adapter. Alternatively, do "ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt" to produce a text file, and then attach that to your post here.) If you type "ping google.com" does that work?
Thanks for the informative reply , it seems like it needed a restart for ping to work , Pinged Google successfully, for the browser it was my fault , I had an old proxy settings enabled , I just had to removed it and I'm posting here now using this exact connection
