Hi Folks,
i am trying to get internet to my Artemis ( Tmobile version without wifi ). My Tmobile touch has internet access via wifi. I was thinking to start internet sharing using bluetooth to the artemis, but I cannot find any internet sharing in it. Do you guys have any ideas how to proceed ?
Thanks for any input.

internet sharing on WM doesn't support sharing wifi to bluetooth connections, unfortunately. the best alternative, if you can at all use it, will be found in www.wmwifirouter.com
Thanks for your input. I was wondering if the windows mobiles 6 are not same. I have upgraded HTC artemis ( without wifi ) to 6.0. It has the internet sharing icon ( and bluetooth pan ). However, the newer htc touch ( t-mobile ) also with win 6.0 does not have that. Is the touch is incapable of such thing? It has the bluetooth too.
it's all about having the internet sharing application installed or cooked into the rom you're using.
btw, your artemis, touch, or any other device, even having the internet sharing app, can only use bluetooth to supply a connection rather than use a connection.

you can follow this thread to have the internet sharing app on your touch as well.

Ok here is the deal, I have an HTC universal with a laptop that does not have a wireless interface.
can I configure my laptop to connect to the internet through my HTC ?
if yes, how ?
note, its not a GPRS wireless modem, its a WIFI connection!
and sorry if there's already a thread about it, bt am just sick of reading.. kinda fraustrated
Internet Sharing on WM6 works for me. I use the Bluetooth option & I access the internet via 3G.
Internet Sharing also has a USB option. Try that & see if it works over WIFI.
Oooooh that would be nice, using the universal as a wifi adapter... never thought of that and how useful it would be to me.
Heres to hoping eh?
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!

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.
Hope the title says everything about my problem.
HTC P3452 (ELFIN) using a custom 6.1 ROM(with the default MS BT stack)
Windows XP Professional SP3 using Widcomm BT stack
UTSTARCOM router to connect to the internet.
My problem:
I want to use bluetooth as the primary medium of connection between PC and PPC .
By 'connection'; I only mean efficient file sharing and internet connection sharing (only from PC to PPC; not the other way round; 'cause I don't have a GPRS/EDGE data plan on my PPC)
MS Activesync does both of these (but not very efficiently) , and there are a lot tutorials on how to connect PC and PPC using Bluetooth and then sync them using Activesync. But as everyone knows, being the crappiest software ever Activesync often auto-disconnects, even if the PC and PPC are still connected by bluetooth .
Using the ready-made solutions provided by the Widcomm Software, it's very easy to share files, as the MS stack supports FTP.
The Widcomm software also offers a service named "My network access" and creates a Bluetooth LAN connection on PC; and those were supposed to be able to establish a LAN connection between PC and PPC over Bluetooth, but it doesn't .
(The MS BT stack of Windows Mobile doesn't enable PAN by default. I used a hack by some user of this forum (wm6btpan) . But that doesn't seem to solve the problem either, although it enables me to use my PPC as a remote control.. )
So at this point, I need your help in establishing the connection between the PC and PPC so that the PPC can use PC's internet connection. For the last 1.5 days I have searched nearly hundreds of resources but nowhere found a complete solution working for a HTC Touch. If , with your help ,I can get my setup going, then I promise to put up a full fledged tutorial on how to do this...
Hoping early response..

read this?
as I ve already written , I 've already gone through hundreds of threads in different forums, and it was definitely one of them.. the last few instructions
are..
# Tap the Bluetooth icon and tap the link saying <u>Bluetooth Manager</u>.
# Tap the starred Bluetooth icon.
# Tap the Join a personal network.
# Select Join a personal network option and tap Next.
# After your Connection Wizard sees your computer, select it and select Finish so that your HTC Creates a shortcut for this connection named Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere'. Please note that there is no need for a secure/encrypted connection.
# Double tap or hold and select Connect to the Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere' to make a connection with your access point.
# At this point or later, your HTC will ask you if this connection is a Work or Internet connection. I have chosen this as my Work connection.
But in HTC TOUCH there is no "bluetooth manager" or "join a personal network option" (probably they were in WM5). So this wiki doesn't help much..
anyway thanks for your response.
no one else interested ?
hey.. forum veterans.. please respond...
still no one ?
forum mod, can u please move it to the elfin forum ?
Hi Friends,
Problem 1-
i have Nokia E56 with internet enabled. now is there anyway that i can use that internet in my HTC Touch Cruise via bluetooth.
Problem 2
i have HTC touch cruise with internet enabled, i share it with internet sharing through bluetooth pan, so can i use this inetrnet via bluetooth on nokia or any other phone i mean i want to make network between phones so i can use one internet connection in two phones.
easy to solve can the nokia use wifi? if so then have a look for HTC Wifi sharing was 'released' recently
or use wmwifirouter which does allow for internet streaming over bluetooth if i remember correctly
You know also i do believe that google could have found the answer...
Then again does the nokia pick up bluetooth pan area networks?? That will be a BIG reason why this wouldnt work
i try to get the same feature like on my samsung m1 360
i started bluetooth and on my notebook it connected with the phone sharing the internet connection from the phone.
now i use a htc magic 32 B with 2.1 rom and i cant connect that way
i can only use sound sharing or whatever .. i guess the drivers are missing ?
any suggestions ?
Look at these...
Hey there. I'm not a know-it-all regarding what you're looking for, but I did find a few items of interest:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I personal use the WiFi Tether on the Developer Website (Root Required).
Never tried PDA net, but it might be an option.
Hope this helps.
I used PDAnet and it's working fine.
