Any one know how to get an internet connection working using an ethernet to USB adaptor?
I have one of these:

& an mini-usb adaptor but, plugging it all together doesn't seem to register anything on the raphael - suggestions welcome?
I'm basically trying to get an internet connection in hotel rooms (travel a lot) where the RJ45 is free but wifi is charged (stupid but common).
Unfortunately no drivers
While Windows XP and Vista are 'Plug and Play', meaning they have a driver for practically every hardware peripheral ever devised, WinMo is not - the device you have will do you no good without a WinMo driver.
instead, I would look into getting a small travel router that would provide you WiFi. It's another thing to carry, I know, but will end up being the least problematic and most direct solution.
Thanks I feared as much - is there such thing as a generic driver for WM6 network devices that could work?
The driver that shipped is labelled ADMTek, but googling I didn't find any drivers for pocket PC or WinCE

Hallo!
I've got an unusal problem...
I'd like to use my PPC (O² XdaMini) as a Bluetooth Dongle.
In my opinion there must be a way to connect the PPC with my notebook (that has no bluetooth integrated) via USB, and then to establish a bluetooth connection between my PPC and any other bluetooth device, which would finally be usable with my laptop.
This procedure is almost the same as using the PPC's integrated modem to get a webaccess with a notebook.
Of course I could buy a USB bluetooth dongle for my laptop. But there could be another way as well, isn't it?
Thx very much for your help, cheers

have you got any answers?
I'm also looking for a "way" or " software"" to be able to do what you said. But I couldn't.
Did you have a solution.
This is a very common q - along with asking the same about Wi-Fi.
Currently, this is impossible.
Ohkay guys,
My Atom Exec which i purchased a few days back started showing this wierd message with my PC which runs Windows XP(Its an Athlon D/c with usual stuff).It was running mighty fine in the initial days.I have a USB mouse and USB TV tuner card plugged on to my pc.
After breaking my head with usual stuff like trying different ports,i decided to search the web with this problem "USB device not recognized",i was surprised to find many people suffering this same problem with their devices which varied from pen drives to scanners and what have you.
The solutions also varied,none of which worked consistently.They varied from running registry hacks to,powering down pc,formatting windows etc.
After spending a few days in agony and a few more trial and errors,I could figure out that the problem was related to power supplied through the usb root hub.Thats right,its related to your PC/Laptop bios,it has nothing to do with Windows or anything else.Your bios after a few days of use with usb devices cant drive enough power through the wires.So you have to directly connect the device.
Here comes the solution
do not use the mini usb/usb connector wire supplied with your device(any device) if you face this problem,instead get something like this http://www.mp4project.com/images/Connector__USB_A_M_Mini_5P_.jpg
It will work like a charm.
Hope this helps a lot of battered souls out there.

It's really work? how can u sync ur pda to pc then? it too short.
Ok so I do a fair bit of IT support work these days and thought about all the nice little possibilities it would open up if I could connect my Touch Pro to the network or other devices directly via ethernet.
If you can get USB Network dongles these days, I don't see why you can't have a mini-usb one, but I don't see many around. Does anyone know of a product like this?
If there isn't one, perhaps you could ues a regular USB Network stick/dongle, and use a USB to mini-usb converter. Then I guess it would be a case of someone making a driver or app, right?
Any solutions or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Have the same problem.
Lately I was wondering about the same thing. I've found some USB to RJ45 converters, and was wondering about drivers or app, have you finger something out?

Take a good look at any USB cable: the two ends are different. One end is for a USB Host (desktopPC/Laptop/Mac). The other end is for a USB **Device** (thumb drive, wireless network dongle, **YOUR PHONE**). Trying to plug two USB *Devices* together would be like trying to plug two USB thumbdrives together to swap files... or more acutately, pluging a USB Network dongle to your thumbdrive to access it over teh internets. ooh, it would be sweet if it were possible.
well that's a bummer. I was thinking that the phone can act as a host when you use the internet connection sharing....
yeah, different kind of host. Actually trying to get that second type of host working myself (Internet Sharing): The USB connection is the bad guy here, by design it's either host or device.
Now you migth find *bluetooth* RJ45 device, but why not just buy a wireless router for your network and use your Fuze's Wifi capabilities? If you plugged a USB Wifi dongle into your desktop, that should be enough to use your fuze's wifi to connect... activsync style. don't ask me how to use it via Internet Sharing, still trying that.
so i have a bad wireless card in my laptop and i was trying to use my tilt connected via usb to pick up my linksys wireless signal. there wasnt a problem in teh world doing it with xp, i just pluged it in, installed activesync and off i went... but now with win7... lets just say this hasnt been my first attempt... anyone have any ideas or insight on this?
no one has any idea?
Activesync wouldn't have allowed you to do that on XP, only to use the laptops wireless internet on your phone.
Easiest and most reliable way of using your phone as a wifi dongle is WMWifIRouter but it isnt free. There are free alternatives such as ICS Control, but I never got them to work.
Hi guys. I'm getting stuck with this problem. I don't have a good house network (my isp is terrible) so I started using my Smartphone (huawei nova 5t) to play with my xbox on online games. Until now i've been using the Hotspot (wifi),but it's instable and it pings a lot. So I was wondering how could I use a cable to use my LTE connection on my xbox via ETHERNET using the USB Thetering . I bought from amazon an adapter that's Type C-Ethernet. It's a really good one,but when I plug it to my phone,my Huawei doesn't let me use the USB thetering,I can't activate it. So I was asking if there is a way,an external app or something that could make me do that. My idea is LTE---> Otg Type C Ethernet---> Xbox one. I found nothing on the internet about this,all the threads are about using that OTG to connect my phone to a router and using the router internet,and it works perfectly that way,but I wanna use the cable in the opposite way. I wanna share my smartphone connection with my xbox. Can I do that with that otg or it's just impossible..? Thanks forward.
Hi there. I need the same thing! Sorry to bump late but at least there's only 2 of us.
I think it's called
REVERSED TETHERING via an ETHERNET dongle. (or HOST mode?)
It should be technically possible because ethernet dongles are supported by a lot of ROMs but this function is usually going in the other direction.
Tetrd is another useful search term.
Did you get further with this since you last posted this?

If you can put a windows device between the set up, you can use the program Connectify to make your windows machine a router and choose the ethernet out and plug it into the xbox. And then usb tether the phone into the computer. Connecitfy works with speedify too so if you have multiple hotspots you can bond them together and get a more reliable connection.
Or, I suppose, a Raspberry Pi
