I would like to use my HTC Cruise as a modem.
So that it is possible that i have the internet on my laptop.
From my mobile.
I know that it is not usual to do this all the time. But for know it not working.
can somebody help me?
I'm french but plug the PDA on your PC with USB cable
And in program you must have a program internet share (I don't know if in english it is the good word)
Launch it and click on connect
I tried to find it,
but when I connect it to my pc with my usb cable. I only get the program to synchronise. Because it's Vista.
How do i find the internetconnection anywhere else?
this program is on the PPC start -> program
On Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 that you can download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx. It comes in both x64 and x86 flavors.
You also need to run the Internet Sharing application on your phone. On my unbranded HTC Touch Cruise there was no link to that application in Start/Programs. What you have to do, is to go into the Windows folder and run the IntShrUi.exe.
I'm not quite sure, but I think that it automatically creates a link for you in your Programs folder (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\). If it doesn't, you can do that yourself. The link should also be in the windows folder (IntShrUi.lnk) and you can just copy that manually to your Programs folder.
ovidiaconescu, I have an unbranded Cruise as well with the Stock ROM and had that icon in Programs. Don't remember doing anything to get it there.
Internet Sharing app is on the PPC. Here are directions, note that these are from someone else's post in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337714) I have put them here for convenience:
To set up your device as a USB modem
1. On your device, tap Start > Programs > Internet Sharing.
2. In the PC Connection list, select USB.
3. In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
4. Plug in the USB cable between your device and the computer.
5. Tap Connect.
To end the Internet connection
On the Internet Sharing screen, tap Disconnect.
To set up your device as a bluetooth modem
1. On your device, turn on Bluetooth and set it to visible mode.
2. Initiate a Bluetooth partnership from your device
3. Tap Start > Programs > Accessories > Internet Sharing.
4. Select Bluetooth PAN as the PC Connection.
5. From the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
6. Tap Connect.
7. On your computer, set up a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) with your device:
For Windows Vista:
a. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
b. Click Manage network connections and then under Personal Area Network, double-click Bluetooth Network Connection.
c. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
For Windows XP:
a. Tap Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
b. Under Personal Area Network, click the Bluetooth Network Connection icon.
c. Under Network Tasks, click View Bluetooth network devices.
d. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
8. On the Internet Sharing screen on your device, check if a connected status is displayed, which indicates that your computer has been successfully connected to the Internet using your device as a Bluetooth modem.
Do you think it's possible to do the same kind of thing to access internet with an Archos 605 ??

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, just checking, my O2 WM5 rom don't come with the "Internet Sharing" program.
May I know how to get it?
My current rom version is 1.30.107
I updated to the lovely windows 6. I could sync to my XP computer no problem until I've used the internet sharing utility. Then everytime I connect the phone to the computer, the computer networks with the internet sharing utility and activesync doesn't get a look in.
If I delete my vodafone 1240 from the activesync devices I can start again until I use internet sharing again.
I need both. How can I stop internet sharing so that activesync will again recognise the computer? I connect via the usb port.
Try to accept wireless connection in ActiveSync.
not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):
1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.
When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.
In case if the above post doesn't help
Activesync on PC uses LAN interface for data transfer between PC and WMPhone.
When you enable internet connection sharing it changes some connections' settings to manual - i.e. 192.168.0.1. So make sure that your LAN interface that is used by activesync, is set to get IP address automatically.
I have treo 750v, WM6.
I have done the procedure below:
1. Pairing my device with the laptop via Bluetooth.
2. On my Treo, clicked start > internet connection sharing > chosing bluetooth pan > click connect.
3. Device told me to activate Bluetooth on my PC. then I activated my Bluetooth PAN on my laptop. (I'm having BlueSoleil bluetooth manager installed on my laptop).
4. Treo said "Connected". My BlueSoleil manager said connected with an animation showing a link between my device and laptop icons. It even showed some message of its assigned IP address, etc.
But, i can not connect to internet on my laptop. I did ping to google, it said "Request time out".
Very weird, because when I choose USB Cable to do internet connection sharing, the connection is working seamlessly, i can connect to internet, good ping to google or any other sites, but not with BT PAN.
Please advice what to check, what to do, etc.. thanks
no replies yet, i hope someone will read and provide some suggestion for my problem. thanks
How about using the Windows' bluetooth manager?
My bluetooth places -> entire bluetooth neighborhood -> right click on your device name -> connect Network Access Point
I use this method every time and it always works.

I tried it just now as you suggested. it then says network connected. but then i cant connect to the internet from my laptop. so i back to using the USB cable, and it works flawlessly.
i wonder where's the missing key???
Two things:
1. With the Windows bluetooth, once the devices are paired and a connection is established (Internet Sharing on the Treo), goto the little bluetooth icon in the systray and right-click on it. Click on the "Quick Connect" menu and select "Network Access". Once you have clicked on "Network Access" you should see your phone listed (my 750 shows as the name I entered for "Owner Information"). Select your phone and that should do it. These steps are similar to the ones I use for my Macbook as well.
2. Regarding BlueSoleil Manager: when I lasted used it I remember having to set up the serial ports manually so they could be used for communication between the desktop and the phone. I haven't used the BlueSoleil since I had a Treo 650, but I still have the software. I'll load it up and see if I can't help you with your problem.
Regards,
idyllic
So I got to work and loaded up BlueSoleil on a system running MS Server 2003 SP2. The bluetooth dongle I'm using is a TRENDnet TBW-101UB V2 with BlueSoleil version 1.4.9.2 build 041108, stack version 04.03.15.20041105.
I paired my stock AT&T Treo 750 to the machine. Started "Internet Sharing" on the Treo making sure to select bluetooth pan and the AT&T network Once this was done I right-clicked on my phone icon in the BlueSoleil Manager and select "Connect." The I choose the "Bluetooth Personal Area Networking Service" and open a web browser to test... so far its worked every time.
Some notes:
1. The internet sharing on the treo isn't instant, give 20 seconds or so to fully connect.
2. The BlueSoleil manager connects even slower... give it 30 seconds.
3. Try repairing the phone.
4. If using the BlueSoleil software, disable the windows bluetooth as the MAY be a conflict there. Basically use one or the other.
I'm not sure if any of this is going to help, but I hope it puts you on the right track.
Regards,
idyllic
I tried following on my AT&T Tilt to get the connection to internet using Bluetooth and these steps work with out any changes to registry values etc or hack.
1. Start Internet Sharing program under your windows folder in Tilt.
2. Chose the connection type as Bluetooth and Select Connect.
3. In your laptop/PC, under My Bluetooth Places, find your phone(pair it etc) and double click on phone to go to services of phone.
4. You should see Network Access Point, right click and Connect.
5. This started showing me a LAN connection(Bluetooth LAN access server driver) with 2.1 Mbps speed.
I was connected and I did not realize it was this simple instead of going through so many posts on connecting to net through bluetooth. I thought of posting this if it helps someone to get connected.
Hey there,
i own a treo 500v with a cooked rom (my_rose 6.1[en]) running windows 6.1 standard. Im using a mac, thats why i have Syncmate running for sync options. Syncmate also supports internet sharing over USB to PC, means that i can use my mac internet connection for my treo 500, because i dont own a data plan.
Now the problem:
It is a pretty weird situation. The cooked rom contains the HTC HOME homescreen, containing a weather widget. As soon as im connecting to Syncmate over USB my weather widget is able to get the latest information from the web! This indicates, that there is clearly a working internet connection. Never the less, this is the only thing that works. I cant use Internet Explorer, nor the E-Mail Option of WinMo to receive my Mails. I also tried Opera Mini (Java), but it also fails to connect to the internet.
Im always referred to the Connections Settings of my mobile phone. To be honest, i have no clue how to properly set this up. So i wondered if here might be someone around who knows how it works right.
Thanks for all your help.
Cheers

Hi Chillar! There is no need to adjust any settings on you phone, it is enough to connect your mobile device with the Mac via USB and Internet will be shared automatically.
If this doesn't happen, then, please, try the following:
1. On your mobile device go to Start -> Settings -> "Connections" tab -> Connections and check which connections are listed in "My Internet" section. If there are any Internet connections via cellular network, please, disable or delete them.
2. As an option, please, try to reinstall SyncMate driver on your mobile device as follows:
- Go to Remove programs application
- Choose SyncMate driver and press Remove
- Reboot your mobile device
- Reconnect your phone to your Mac via USB
3. If the above still doesn't help, then please, try to open any web page on your mobile device - for instance google.com - and let us know (contacts us at [email protected]) what message you receive from the browser on your mobile device in return.
Have a perfect day!
