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.
What you dont say is wot device your using, stock or cooked rom etc etc....

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.

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
Does anyone know if I can connect my laptop to internet via my phone, T-zone internet, by using Internet sharing? I failed to do this. Can someone give me an instruction? thanks
hey buddy, you need to have data connection on, when you connect your phone via usb and internet sharing enable. Make sure you have tmo's proxy configured in your T-Mobile Data Connection.
Work with phone but Laptop
Yes my phone is able to connect to internet by itself, Tzone with proxy setup, but I would like to go to internet by using my laptop and use the phone as modem by running internet sharing program but It failed to connect.
what you are asking about is turning your laptop into a hotspot and connecting to the internet using the wifi not regular nework. is that it
I am talking about using phone as modem, internet sharing...

you need to connect the phone to your computer via bluetooth and your computer will see the phone as a modem then setup the a new connection with the phone and voila.
I am using usb cable to connect it. I am running NBD 8.2.
not sure how to make it work on the cable but with 8.2 you should be able to connect the phone to the PC and turn on dialup networking via serial port over bluetooth

I never tried this before. I will try it tonight.
You have to set up the same proxy server in your web browser on your laptop as the one you have set up for the t-mobile internet on your phone.
Not sure really if its different for T-Mobile or not but i'm with Cingular and I use my wizard as my primary internet source for my desktop. Connect your phone via USB, let AS connect, then turn on internet sharing. It'll disconnect AS and display on internet sharing if its connected or not. Hopefully this helps.

Work great. thanks
No problem, glad I could help. I figured that out a few weeks ago the day after I got back from a business trip where I stayed in hotel that didn't have an internet connection and no wifi spots anywhere close. Wish I had thought to try that sooner.
Even though I've told ActiveSync to "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the destktop", it doesn't work, my smartphone SP5m connected via USB on my pc keeps telling me "Check your connection/network settings" whenever I need internet access and won't open any web pages or internet applications, why?
Under Connections settings, I usually have 2 options, either "Auto-detect settings" or "Select network" which has "The Internet" selected. But none of them works
And what's the difference between those network presets (The Internet, Work, etc)?
Thanks to all!
highmighty
go to setting\connections\usb to pc and deset advanced network funcionality
No matter if "advanced network functionnality" is enabled or not, it's the same, internet won't work when my SP5m is plugged in via usb. It's surely working fine though using WIFI... any other thoughts anyone?
Thanks
Just tested, same problem here and the weird part, it works if connected with a Bluetooth connection
i have that problem too.. connected to the laptop there is no internet connection with cabel but over bluetooth..
funny thing: if i connect to the desktop computer it does work with cabel
same security software (avira antivirus and pc tools firewall)
if anyone find a solution for that i'd be very glad. the problem itself doesnt matter as connection over bluetooth is more important to me but i just cant stand how illogical it is..
Hi Guys,
I am running active sync 4.5 on my works pc and I want to connect my wm6 device to it whilst I am at work. However, my device checks my gmail and this is blocked via my works network, so i want my device to stay connected to gprs and use that instead of try to use my pc connection.
Is there a setting in Active sync to tell it to use its one connection to the internet instead?
I have set that this PC is connected to the Work network and that has not made any difference.
What else can I try?
Thanks
Doh, I reread the option underneath and the 'allow wireless connection whilst device is connected' sorts this out!
Ok tell a lie.
The GPRS now stays connected but the device isnt using it to connect to the internet. It still tries to use the pass through.
Anyway around this? I assume i need to adjust my connection settings to do with 'work' and the 't-mobile internet' connections.
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 know this is a very old post but I have the same problem, my phone connects, syncs etc.. BUT, if I try to update weather or update FB, it contacts, it still needs to connect to 3G (not event wifi)

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.

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.
