Internet sharing cab file?

Does anyone know if you can get a cab file or if there is a registry tweak to restore internet sharing (pan) to WM 6. I have a pre release kaiser that has wmodem but no internet sharing and I cant get dun to work properly to tether to my laptop for internet. I thought wm 6 came standard with internet sharing so I dont know if it's hidden (registry tweak) or if it's been taken off the rom and there is some way to restore it. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks
Try this.. unzip it and copy the 2 files into your widows directory on your phone. then create a shortcut icon in Windows>Start Menu>Programs
That worked! You the man. Thanks so much for the help.
you're welcome
wm5?
Is there an internet connection sharing for WM5?
I have a Softbank X02HT Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition (same as HTC Cavalier / Dopod C730) with crippled Internet Sharing.
I tried this cab file which would open the UI but would show blanks for the Internet and local connections. I managed to pull off the intshrui and intshrui.dll files from a Samsung Blackjack, and now it shows connections and I can actually establish a connection - but when I connect my PC to it, it fails to get an IP address.
Does anyone know which other files are being used by Internet Sharing? Which other files beside intshrui.* do I need to copy from the BlackJack, or if it is even possible?

Same problem here. Maybe the .dll file is carrier specific. A stretch but I can't think of any other reason why this doesn't work.
X02HTC help

There are no threads. We are asking for a Cavalier forum but nobody is doing any yet.

you can get freeware ftp servers for your pc, that might get you transfering files, but as the others are saying, not sure its possible.

Putting Opera Mini in Internet Tab of Manila 2d?

Hello,
I successfully installed Opera Mini on my Elf using Jbed. Works fine so far.
Problem is, I'd like to have it opened when I click the corresponding button in my Internet-Tab on my Manila 2D homescreen.
I tried using M2DC, but it only lets me select .exe files and I do not have an exclusive .exe for Opera Mini, only JBed. But I'd have working .ink file which opens Opera Mini just fine.
So, how do you put Opera Mini in there?
I'm using the german GOLD-ROM.
You will need to wait for an update for manilla 2d if you want it to directly open opera mini, unless you have programing experience, you can compile a program that will open your link. (and its "lnk" not "ink" )
edit: this workaround would only work for opening the browser but would not be useful for the links you can setup in manilla ....the internet lnks are a service call for the browser if i am not mistaken (which is why you must have an exe file))
joel, sorry to say but you're wrong.

Youtube App: "Connection Failed" on HTC Diamond 2 and some general Questions

Youtube App: "Connection Failed" on HTC Diamond 2 and some general Questions
Hi, I just bought my HTC Diamond 2 [Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro] last month and the Youtube App is the one that is pre-installed on my phone.
My carrier is At&t and the connection is EDGE.
My problem is when I open the youtube app, I get the message: "Warning: Connection failed. Please try again." I checked that my internet is working because I can browse different sites through Opera and I can still update the weather. I found out that youtube app works perfectly fine ONLY when my diamond2 is connected to my laptop via ActiveSync. As soon as I disconect it, the message returns and the videos in my history will not load anymore.
I searched the forum for similar problems and had tried opening Internet Explorer etc with no success. I don't think anyone mentioned that their youtube app actually worked [ONLY] when it's connected to a pc. Please help! I want to use it on the go, not when I'm near my laptop.
Some general questions:
I had no success in trying to increase Window Opera's max tab to 5 (the default is at 2!!!) through opera:config [this thing will not save!!] The other option is to copy the opera.ini file from \windows\opera9 directory to the pc and manually change it. How do I get to "windows" from my pc? I see it when I go to File Explorer from my phone but when I connect my phone to the pc via ActiveSync, I do not see the "Windows" file in my laptop. If it's hidden somehow, how do I unhide it? If not how do I get to this file?
The second question I have is how do I get to the registry of the phone?
This Diamond2 is my first smartphone so I'm extremely new to Window Mobile and pocket PC's in general. Just want to say that I'm grateful for all the stuff I learned from exploring this forum. Any additional help is also appreciated.
anyone? about my youtube problem?

For Youtube : Go to Settings > Connections Tab > Connections (Again ^^) > Advanced > Select Networks, and be sure you have choose the right DATA connection to connect.
For Opera : You have to be sure you click "Save" on opera:config, when you click on a sub-section, it deploys the section, and at the bottom of the section you have "Save".
By the way, if you want to access to your Windows directory (for another thing, soft), install Total Commander on your diamond2 (Google it). Or with your PC : If you have XP, open an explorer, Tools (on the top) > Folders Options > go to the second TAB and search the option to display all folders.
(For Vista/Seven : Organize > Folder & Search options. On an explorer window.)
For the registry, you can access to the registry with TotalCommander, or an another soft (with more functionnality) : PHM Regedit (Google it )
If you have others questions.
Hi, I've found my answers for those general questions by searching through this and other forums. But thanks anyway for answering them.
Back to youtube, I still have no success in getting this thing to work. What do you mean by "choose the right DATA connection to connect"? When I am in "Select Networks," I have a list of choices: My ISP name, MEdia Net, AT&T ISP, My Work Network, and My ISP. It is in MEdia Net when I first went in and MEdia Net seems to be the only connection that allows me to get online, all the others failed when I changed to it. I guess that's the right DATA connection to connect?
Then it's the same situation with that youtube App, I can go online but I get this error message when I open the youtube app.
Again I'm in the US, with AT&T's EDGE data connection. Thanks.
hum i don't know! have you a stock ROM or a custom? if it's a custom try to know on the ROM topic if any similar problem appear.
Do you use any proxy settings for your data connections? you don't have result with search on XDA?
My rom is not custom, it's whatever it is when I bought the phone. And no proxy setting. Searched the forum, found some youtube "connection failed" threads but it's either a different problem and got fixed or I tried the solution with no result.
Right now I think I will search for another wvga youtube player and install that, see if a different one works.
bump* I was searching the forum and didn't find this solution posted anywhere so I chose this thread to post the solution (at least it worked for my Tilt2 Rhodium).
I had the problem with my Tilt2 (Rhodium). See if yours has this:
Go to Start-Tools-Proxy Manager-Disable Proxy
After I ran that cab file (Disable Proxy) the Youtube app worked.
I have a HTC Diamond "1" with the same problem. After selecting a clip to watch I get the same message.
Unfortunately, I can't find a "proxy manager" on my settings.
So any other suggestions? Thanks.
I also have this issue on my Rhodium. There is no "proxy manager" setting anywhere I've seen on the device. Plus, my YouTube app doesn't even have accessible settings.
Im having a very similar issue but my youtube app opens displays todays top videos or whatever and it also searches and displays the results but when i tap to watch a video it just sits there loading until it finally says connection failed. I think a simple reinstall of the app would fix the issue but I cant find the cab anywhere except the new app which has horrible video quality but it works lol.

Resco Explorer Networking (map drive) problem :(

Hi All,
I'm trying to map network drive using the Resco Explorer, however Resco does not see the SAMBA (3.2.5) shares
There is nothing in sambas log suggesting the HD2 is trying to connect.
I had no problems with wm6.1 but on my 6.5.x it doesn't work.
I was searching the forum but couldn't find the answer. Anyone has an idea? Maybe someone managed to solve this?
maybe this?

instead of COMPUTER\DISK, try this: \\COMPUTER\SharedDocs (=name of the shared folder on my pc)
this works with me, good luck!

Yep, I did exactly this the other day.
Resco doesn't see samba shares directly (like a windows PC would see them in my network places or whatever), so you have to tell Resco the location.
I have an ubuntu server called "ubuntu", and my shares are "music", "photos" and so on. To get resco to see the shares I typed:
\\ubuntu\music
\\ubuntu\photos
etc...
Note, it wont work based on IP addresses (that was what originally caused my problem).
To find out your PC name (if you don't know it) on a windows machine, hold the windows key, hit pause break, and then click on computer name (this is for XP).
Cheers.
blog post about this very subject
I got it too sometimes. I dont know the reason tho.
But hey it is so easy to set it up manually.
It is longer but will work anyways. Try the method the guy 2 posts above me posted with \\COMPUTERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER
WIll work if you are in the same network.
Ah and make sure not to connect via mobile network but with WiFi as then you are not in the same net.
Thanks all of you!
It works at least partially...
Works for shares without password, doesn't work for password protected shares.When i put \\computer\myshare and then press ok then I'm asked for user name and password. As soon as I fill them in the application freezes (maybe it tries to connect?) I gave it 5 minutes and then I had to reset HD2
Strange problem
I reinstalled resco but no improvements.
Thanks again
Yeah i noticed that one too.
Do not use pass protection on shares.
It must be a bug in the Resco Explorer.
Before i thought i made a fault but i never tried it out again as i assume a freeze as not too good for the device LOL
I'm not sure where the problem is. I tried the same on P3600 (trinity) with wm6.5. It does not freeze, but is re-asking for credentials, so I guess there are two problems:
1) resco on hd2 freezes (probably when the resco cannot connect - bug)
2) authentication problem?
Probably I'll skip the password protection until someone will find the solution...
Works fine here. It sees the shares on my XP machine, but not on the 2 Win7 ones so I have to enter them manually for those. All 3 have password protection.
On one of the W7 machines it "freezes" for about 10 seconds the first time I access the share after a soft reset, for the others it comes instantly. But that particular volume is huge (a 80% full 1.5TB drive) so it might have to do with it if it lists the contents, the others only have like 30GB on them.
You might want to try menu->settings, if you have data active as well as wifi then uncheck autodetection, and delete the network entry (or entries) that aren't your local wifi.
It can happen that it finds nothing or hangs if it tries searching the cell provider's network (that can have tons of hosts) instead of your local one.

Yes - no problem for windows, I'm struggling with SAMBA (linux) shares.
Fixed freezing/credential issues when mapping drives on my HD2
Hi guys,
I had the same problem of my HTC HD2 freezing in the Network Log On dialogue when trying to map a drive, and also the issue where I was repeatedly asked for credentials which would never save. I managed to solve this issue, though in my case the problem was actually due to the network share settings on my NAS device (which is a QNAP TS-109).
What I did to remedy my problem was:
Go to the Administration page through the web-based interface for my TS-109.
Go to the Access Right Management menu.
Go to the Share Folders section.
Click on the Access Control icon for the folder I wanted to map.
Under the Guest Access Right drop-down menu I changed Deny Access to Read Only.
After that I was able to log in with my admin username and password, and to save the mapped drive on my HTC HD2 (I mapped drives successfully using both Resco File Explorer 2010 and HTC Network Plugin 1.0).
Hopefully this will work for anyone else experiencing this problem with a QNAP NAS, or if not then hopefully following similar steps on your NAS will yield favourable results.
Kate.
I am using HD2 with a Qnap NAS . Initially , got problem mapping drive as described by previous post . I did not do any changes on NAS . But , in the resco password page , i uncheck permanent login .

I've post this in Resco Explorer Forum, just yesterday:
Re: File Explorer hangs when mapping Network Drive on WM 6.5
First, excuse me for my bad english (I'm italian).
I think to be solved the bug in this mode (I've a Netgear STORA NAS):
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in wi-fi network adapter
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in your wi-fi connection
Now, I can succesfully map all my shared resources and add them in "My Network", but I can't use wi-fi to connect in Internet.
So I've revert both the above settings to "Internet settings" ad all it's ok, browsing in Internet and accessing to my network folder on NAS.
I think that the bug is present only when we try to map a network folder the first time.
I hope to be useful to solve our problem.
Bye
Although last post is long time ago, and mine is too recent. yet I hope it would be useful to somebody, and be able to repay the great advantages I myself got from XDA forum.
HardwareC with Win7 Home Prem, HTC HD2 with RescoExplorer v.8, Wifi Connection
first, as most of the posts, I can see PC while mapping in RescoExplorer.
yet when expanding the +, I had to enter username and password, then I get an error.
well, what I did is that I shared a folder with everyone full access on my PC.
then on resco mapping I typed the full path, i.e. \\computername\sharedfolder
then, I got it...
NOTE: when exiting Resco, and accessing the mapped folder, I still had to enter my windows username and password to access my PC shared folder that has no password...
Thus, I think when sharing a folder with a password, Resco goes nuts. for two passwords must be applied...
