Hi Guys,
complete newby, know-nothing-boy here.
Got my xda orbit and just trying to get it all set up the way I want it to work. this is not easy given that I am a complete technophobe so everything's a massive learning curve.....
.....so, I got my orbit 2 connected to my works pc through Active sync and it talks to the calendar and everything appears to be fine and I've set up a bluetooth connection and can beam a file from my laptop to the phone. However, I cannot get my calendar/emails to up-date through bluetooth and neither me nor our IT guy can figure out why not!!!!
Can any guru on here help please.
Thanks,
David
Have you downloaded the new Mobile Device Center? Is your Laptop running XP or Vista? When I last sync'd with an XP machine via bluetooth, I could not sync contacts etc either, only worked with Vista for me.

Thanks,
David
Is this possible or is it a severe problem???
Does windows mobile centre only work with vista????
Cheers,

Hi David,
1. You have to pair your Touch with XP
2. Create a incoming port.
3. select the incoming port in active sync for connection
4. start activesync on touch
if you need further info please use the search function.
Best Regards

David,
I feel for you sir.
I've been a PDA / Pocket PC user for a LONG time. I've used a Kyocera 6035 (Palm-based Cell/PDA), Sprint 6601, Sprint 6700, AT&T 8525, and even a BlackJack II. So I've used Windows XP with a Pocket PC LOTS of times, but *I* had trouble while in Chicago this week.
A co-worker lent me his Sony VGX-UX280 for that trip. It's a Ultra Portable "laptop" with Bluetooth, Wireless, and Windows XP loaded. Having setup my phone to "tether" (aka provided an Internet Connection) to my Dell Inspiron 9400, a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, and other laptops... I didn't have any concerns about using my phone for Internet on the road. Boy, was that a mistake.
So I'm on the road, and I try to use Internet Sharing on my cell to provide a connection the laptop. It seems to connect, and the laptop tries to pull an IP connection over bluetooth, but it NEVER got a private IP address... so it assigns itself a 169 address that as many know isn't a "connected" IP for most network situations. It's a fallback, when a network device can't find a DHCP server to provide an IP address. Instead, it assigns one to itself, but it's offline.
I confirm that the "sharing" is part of the problem by running Internet Explorer. When "sharing" is connected", I couldn't get to a web page on the phone. If I disconnect, everything works as it should. So I'm like WTF?
I came out to this site and others from my phone browser, and one post said I needed ActiveSync connected between the phone and laptop to tether. So I tried setting up ActiveSync over bluetooth, but try as I might if would NEVER connect.
I then downloaded WMWifi something or other. It basically turns your WM phone into a Wireless AP so laptops and other devices can connect to the Internet. But similar to the Bluetooth problem, I couldn't pull an IP. This was VERY odd, because the Wifi program let you configure which IP numbers you wanted to use. Several options were available, such as 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, up to 192.168.3.x. And there was another range as well, but none of these worked. Not even when I set a static IP address in the proper range on the laptop, or turned off the IP setting in the Wifi program, as suggested in their documentation.
So while trying to "fix" things, I tried deleting my existing Activesync profile. BAD idea, as that deleted all my contacts and such from the phone. So then I'm in Chicago, 2000 miles from home, and the only phone numbers I have with NO names is what is in my call history.
At this point, I figure I have one of two problems.
1) The config to the AT&T network on my cell is wrong, which is why the connection isn't working as it had in the past. I do know that while the AT&T settings auto-configured by the Touch Cruise weren't perfect after the wizard ran. I went out to AT&T's web site, and customized my settings to match the Tilt recommended configure. I also configured a "standard" GPRS setting that DOES NOT use the AT&T Proxy Server. That's been the ONLY way I can use Skype .6, as it can't connect to their website through Media Net.
2) One of the many programs I've installed on my phone has fouled the registry/config of my phone. I made a list of all the apps I've installed on my phone, and I suppose any one of these could have screwed up my ability to tether...
Skyfire .6
Flash Player Active X
CoreCodec Coreplayer
HTC HTC Home - Schen 2.10
MS Remote Desktop
Bluefire
Total Commander
PM Registry Editor
iNav iGuidance
Franson GpsGate 2.0
Google Maps
With the above, I can navigate anywhere in the US, connect to my work network with VPN, control my computer there like I was in my chair, and much more. But obviously not being able to get to the Internet on the road is unacceptable.
Probably will hard reset the phone this morning, and take it from there.
Sorry if it seems like I took over your thread. But like you, I had NO luck connecting ActiveSync through Bluetooth.
(Quick note: Even when I borrowed a USB Cable on the road, and tried to tether my laptop to my phone for Internet... I STILL couldn't get IE to connect to websites via my phone. I COULD use Activesync, but by then I'd already lost my contacts, etc. So I'll get that back on the phone now that I'm home.)
Hi,
I just bought myself a new webbook (a CnMbook) and want to use my TouchPRO as a modem so I can surf the net at work.
I've been routing round the internet to find an answer - which I have done http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6239582#post6239582 but my webbook doesn't have the option to get to terminal.
Can anyone else help?
Thanks
Simple solution, which I'm using is > http://www.walkinghotspot.com/
Thanks for your reply - but I already pay for unlimited internet with my phone contract, so I don't want to pay again.
Well, you could try other ways of getting to the terminal... without fixing that module, it won't let you get online via USB.
Otherwise, you can just use Bluetooth if your laptop has it, or the free version of WMWifiRouter, while plugging in to charge.
what is the latest free version of wmwifirouter? http://freewareppc.com/communication/wmwifirouter.shtml <- is that it?
walking hot spot is a trial, but even when it expires it still works
@ldrn - thanks for suggesting WMWifiRouter, that's a great app!
After an hour of messing about with it, I'm about 95% of the way there, but when my laptop tries to connect it says "invalid IP address"
Any ideas how to fix this?

Just had a quick look at the link for WifiRouter you posted. In the change log the author says: "- Made the use of DHCP Allocator disabled by default."
This would mean your Netbook basicly guessed an IP address when it's DHCP request failed. Look around for an option to enable the DHCP. I have no idea where it is, never used the app.
Good luck.
Alex is right (and so is Jack, I think) -- and just go to "Options", "Configuration", then "Use DHCP Allocator".
Glad I was able to help.
@Alex_w and ldrn
Thanks for your responses - however, I am still having issues.
I tried my Vista laptop to connect using WMWiFiRouter and it worked first time, however my little webbook can't get an IP address - whether the DHCP is ticked or not, or DNS.
I've now spent about 6 hours trying to work this out and it's annoying not to mention wasted a Sunday!
Are you using any type of encryption on the Ad-hoc connection? That's normaly my main problem when I work with WiFi on *nix. Just seems like the config tools aren't very polished TBH.
@Alex_w
Thanks for your reply - do you mean like WEP or Firewall?
Either/or - I have none enabled.
I found out that my webbook runs on "debian" - does that make a difference? I'm a total newbie when it comes to Linux
*bump*
No more answers?
Hmm... that is strange. I have had trouble connecting with wcid and WEP, but not with NetworkManager (and NetworkManager is usually the default.) Are you sure you are seeing the network name correctly and there is no encryption? A lot of versions of the NetworkManager fail to see Ad-hoc connections.
If that fails, I could walk you through how to *make* your laptop go to the terminal for the fix, but there would be a big risk of breaking something.
* Edit * Okay, this is pretty unslick and inefficient, but if you only use it for web browsing, the awesome Socks Proxy Server pchasco wrote works great for me on a machine without a fixed rndis module -- I am posting using it right now -- although it looks off on a VGA device like ours and the setup on the other end is a bit clunky.
Plug in your Touch pro and tell it to do activesync with internet sharing turned off, download that and run it on your Touch Pro -- leave the defaults and press "start proxy". Then on your linux laptop, go into firefox, type "about:config", and find network.proxy.socks_remote_dns and set it to true (you will only have to do this the first time.) Then in firefox, go to edit, preferences, advanced, network, settings (under connection) and write the IP address Socks Proxy has in its box near the top on your phone in under "SOCKS Host" -- leave the rest blank -- and the port Socks Proxy has as the port (should be 1080.) Make sure it is SOCKS v5 and press okay, and you should be good to browse.
You have to turn proxy mode off on firefox when you are on a normal connection, though. There are some extensions around to make it easier.
Another useful WindowsMobile-side free software I've found really handy for linux is Mocha's free FTP server -- you can use it to browse around on your phone as if you had activesync without telling it to pretend to be a disk.
@ldrn
Thanks for your detailed response and sorry for my late reply.
I'm going to try this tomorrow and will let you know the outcome.
Fingers crossed!
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on my Thinkpad notebook and on my eee 900 ("easypeasy 1.0"). I had 2 months with internet sharing nd other connection problems until i changed the MTU to 1392 - that did it! I made a new entry "TouchPro" (instead of the "Auto eth2" it used to create by itself), put the correct MAc address and MTU in it - ready.

How were you able to change the MTU settings on your touch PRo? I am trying to tether w my xbox 360 and it keeps saying MTU fail!!!
first off - i tried searching but could not find any solid info, from start to finish, how to make tethering work
i've never had to tether till now.. tried enabling Internet Sharing and connecting it both via USB and Bluetooth - no success.. i'm using Media Net $15 a month data plan, if that makes a difference (wap Vs gprs in user name but i did try both)...
is anyone using their phone as a modem? what settings do you have? please point the noob in the direction of a step-by-step guide if one is available (i did try to search but nothing than enabling Network connection via registry edit - not relevant)..
thanks a bunch to anyone who could help!
I'm online using the "internet sharing" connection now (in Florida cleaning up after a flood) (Yes, I need to get back to work . . . .).
I also have a Fuze and am using EnergyROM 2.0. Haven't changed any settings since installing the new ROM. Works like a charm for me.
Make sure the proxy box under the MediaNet settings is NOT checked.

Open up taskmanager and make sure that activesync is not running on the phone. this will not allow internet sharing to work. what does the phone say when you open internet sharing and click connect?
download a registry editor (i use total commander, and it works just fine).
open it up, go to \plugins\registry\HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection and simply delete the contents of the value so that it's empty. Go ahead and do a soft reset and open up the internet sharing app. From there, select the Media Net connection and hit connect. Voila, good to go!
Enjoy!
ps I've gotten 2+ Mbps speeds via tethering

I keep activesync enabled so that i'm able to receive corporate email when on the road.
I was able to tether via USB (was doing nothing different from last night when i was unable to internet share via USB, however I noticed when shutting down that BT stack crashed); internet sharing app came up automatically once I selected internet sharing right after hooking up the cable to my laptop, and MediaNet was there by default (I guess it's all cooked into the ROM; did not have to delete any registry keys; kudos to NRGZ)... was able to get close to 1Mb/s download speed (upload is really slow however, less than 50Kb/s) - not too bad overall
Still have problem connecting via Bluetooth
maybe i'm having problem pairing laptop and Fuze? is there a pre-defined code/pass key that i'm supposed to use for the Fuze?
i was just using my security/lock code.. when laptop starts dialing (is dial up number *99# correct?), i get the following error box:
------------------------------------------------
Error Connecting to BluetoothConnection
Dialing *99#...
Error 678: The remote computer did not respond. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number.
-------------------------------------------------
Anybody had this issue? or can share their connection settings for Bluetooth?
thanks everyone who responded!

smitty, do you tether via bluetooth or usb? i have no problem with usb now but still get the same "error 678: the remote computer did not respond..." i wonder if my BT driver is corrupt or i'm blacklisted by at&t
if anyone is able to connect using bluetooth and Internet Sharing app on Energy or any other similar ROM, can you share your dial-up settings with me?
after i start Internet Sharing app, with PC Connection = Bluetooth PAN and Network Connection = MEdia Net, and then right click my Bluetooth Modem in Dial-up Network Places on my laptop, the icon shows "connecting" for about 5 seconds (and the data icon H on the phone starts rotating) and then the error comes up on computer screen.. i can't believe no one else has had the same issue, i must be something with my laptop

I haven't been able to get my HP laptop to pair via bluetooth with my Fuze yet so I was doing USB. With regards to your issue, do you ahve one or two pull down menus in INternet Sharing app? If you have 1, then your registry needs to be hacked. AT&T used a registry key to force Internet Sharing app to only use the isp.cingluar access point (instead of wap.cingluar). If you pay the extra bucks for the full unlimited with tehtering then your account is setup to use isp.cingluar as well as wap.cingluar. If you just have the normal unlimited w/o tehtering option (which is not unlimited it caps at 5GB/month) then you only can use wap.cingluar. THis is how AT&T is going more easily find people using the cheaper plan with thethering and of course charge them up the butt for violation of the TOS (that they keep changing). Removing the registry key, fixes the issue.

sounds like we are in the same boat here - i can tether my HP laptop with Fuze via USB no problem now using Internet Sharing app, but no luck with Bluetooth whatsoever... i don't think there is an issue with the registry ever since i switched to Energy 2.0 ROM which must have the settings customized (so yes, I do have 2 pull down menus, and I have Media Net selected in the second one). So, I tried to use both wap.cingular and isp.cingular APN's (both [email protected] and [email protected] for User Name, CINGULAR1 for password; then I tried leaving User Name and Password fields blank...) with no success... nothing works, damn it!!!
looks like it gets paired up briefly, then starts dialing and gets the error in a couple of seconds.. the problem must be with the bluetooth dial-up settings for AT&T, because: 1) i have no problem tethering via USB; 2) Fuze is being paired up with my laptop and trying to use HSPDA data connection (as indicated by rotating H on the phone for a few seconds while my laptop tries to dial up).
by the way, have you tried dialing *99# or *99***1# (i tried both numbers as well as *99***3# for Samsung phones) from your Fuze, did you get any modem dial tone??
thanks!
I was able to connect to internet through bluetooth by using the following settings.
After pairing the bluetooth on both Fuze and laptop:
On my Fuze: open 'Internet Sharing' then select Bluetooth PAN and choose the appropriate network connection (in my case TZones) then tap 'Connect'
On the laptop: open bluetooth neighborhood then 'discover service' or 'explore' on the Fuze device. You should see 'Network Access Point on [Fuze]' and then double click on it.
Done.
ICS on AT&T HTC Fuze Cut Off (NRG Rom Series 2.0)

I've been using ICS with no problems with a ThinkPad T43 for a few weeks at work to circumvent the proxies and reach out to my home machine via RDP. The RDP app for the Fuze just doesn't cut it with its whopping 640x480 screen. Turns out that AT&T in NY/NJ is somehow monitoring the connections. I was watching a bunch of videos to pass some downtime, and I guess I triggered some kind of alert on their end. ICS will connect to MediaNET with no problems (settings read wap.cingular), ICS status shows connected (I am connecting over USB) and my ThinkPad network connection shows a private IP address handed to it by the phone (192.168.0.x range). However when I am trying to connect to something, I'll get timeout errors. Running a simple ping comes back with no DNS capabilities as I can't even ping google.com... Has this happened to anyone on the forum? Can anyone offer some advice? I am thinking of just calling AT&T and playing dumb, saying that I was watching videos, as well as moving lots of music from my home computer via FTP ... Any advice appreciated. I pay for the $40/month PDA plan... I don't see the point of paying for tethering when you're already paying for data. Yes, before people start flaming me, I was stupid by using the connection to watch a bunch of videos, but you're able to watch youtube on your phone anyway....
--UPDATED 7-31-09 3:03PM --
So I downloaded ICS Control v0.21, which by the way is an awesome program. I went through the config, was able to connect my laptop to my HTC Fuze via WiFi. That was easy. As palringo (win xp version) was connecting in the background, I was able to do a test google search and get back results. Ran a continuous ping on google (ping google.com -t). Turns out that after about 25 ping replies or so, just about the time it took me to do a few web searches, the requests start timing out. Directing the ping at another website shows that the ping request couldn't find the host... basically the same problem I had tethering over USB. It's as if the AT&T network is determining that the request is coming from a PC and not the PDA and not passing the DNS requests... Either way, I tried to ping google via 74.125.45.100 and got back a request timed out. I am now wondering whether or not this may have to do with the packet MTU and whether or not the PDA packets differ from regular PC/WinXP packets. I just don't know enough about networking to be able to know. I am able to ping the Fuze gateway (for all-intensive purposes set to 192.168.2.1) and get back replies within 2-4ms. I really would love to hear from someone to whom this has happened before. I haven't called AT&T yet as the data connection on the phone itself works just fine, and I am able to load pages on the phone just fine. It's just any form of ICS that's beat...
Come on XDA-Dev, I know the collective intelligence can come up with something here.
I didn't think ATT could detect the difference between tethered requests and ones that originate on the phone, that would be bad though, if that were the case. Since the previous poster was watching videos, it seems to me the bandwidth would be the comparable to watching videos with the YouTube app on the Fuze, which I'm sure is within the terms of service contract.
My experience is closer to vovan75's. ICS works fine via USB, but does not work via Bluetooth. The strange thing is with the BT connection, I can ping the gateway, and even do nslookup with the default DNS, and sometimes if I get lucky, the connection works for a few seconds, allowing a page to load, totally random.
I thought everything worked using the original ATT rom, so I have a feeling culprit is something in the NRG rom, or maybe a radio incompatibility. I might re-flash to the old official rom just to try this, before the next time I update to the latest NRG build.
My setup:
Fuze with EnergyROM (July 22 build)
Radio: 1.14.25.35 (from official HTC 6.1 update)
Notebook with Windows 7 RTM
Windows calls this "Bluetooth Network Connection" (I don't see a reference to DUN, at least not in Win7)
ICS using BT (not working):
IPv4: 169.254.46.56
Gateway: 169.254.247.172
ICS using USB (working):
IPv4: 192.168.0.102
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Windows 7 calls this "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device"
DSLReport speed test (Flash) - down: 696Kbs, up: 336Kbs (varies quite a bit, much better at night of course)
Okay, figured it out. The DHCP setting for the bluetooth PAN should be off (I know, counter-intuitive). I found this by diff'ing the entire HKLM-Comm registry branch of the last EnergyROM build (Sept 6) vs the official ATT 6.1 rom (5.11.502.2WWE), which did work after all.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms\TcpIp]
"EnableDHCP"=dword:00000000
BTW, you don't need to setup Dial-Up Networking when using the Internet Sharing application (IntShrUI.exe). DUN needs to be configured on the PC when using the phone's modem bluetooth service, and AFAIK, needs to be provisioned by AT&T before it will work. The Internet Sharing app acts like an uplink for paired devices in the bluetooth personal area network (PAN).
rasterX, you rock! That little illogical registry fix is all I needed... I'd been banging my head against this Bluetooth DUN thing for days.
Thanks!

What windows version does your PC run?
Have you actually activated remote desktop on the PC?
Are you trying to connect via local network (are you at home) or from another place? If from another place, have you configured your router to forward port 3389 to your PC?
I'm having the same problem.. Not had any experience in remote desktoping myself (except stopping the Work's IT guy from spying on me whilst i trawl through XDA good at stopping, not so good at starting )
I think the reason I havent managed to get it to work is down to my router (Thompson peice of s*it!) wont let me.....
What i'm trying to get at is it might be your router...
Can't do it either, Thompson router might be my issue.
i did'nt look at the youtube vids, so i'm not sure you already looked into this. when on the target computer remote desktop is probably already on, but did you also allow all (older) versions of remote desktop te connect?
i remember that option is there since vista (perhaps even XP). for example: when that option is turned off in vista, any xp machine won't be able to connect. i'm pretty sure remote desktop mobile qualifies for 'old'
1. Right click on My Computer , properties , remote , enable remote on this computer
2. Do not obtain private address automaticly from your router , use static IP private address instead ,and on your router do a port forwarding to that static address
example 192.168.0.10 port 3389
3.Install client from dyndns.org that will map your IP address to your dynamicly changing IP global address that your service provider assignes you
4.Configure Administrator password on your windows computer if you dont allready have it
5.Run your remote desktop from your winmo and input all necessary that you had configured
I know that wont probablly be enough , but it is a start ,all missing blanks fill by yourself , google for things you dont know
done all that, still getting same connection error as the OP
im so confused now i dont know what ip i should put into the hd2 remote desktop app and dont even know if i configured my router ( asus wl520 gc ) right =/ if some 1 has the same router as i do, could you please tell me how to config it?
still cant get to work.
Remote Desktop nightmare..
Seems like u guyz gave up on this prob lol.
I getting really frustrated now, after 4 hours trying to get it working.
I have Vista Home Premium. Ppl on some sites are saying that you cannot use this OS to connect remotely. Then some say it works perfectly.
I added the ports on the rooter. Just to check if they are open I downloaded portchecker. (Pic added)
UDP 3389
Port is open.
TCP 3389
"Could not test port 3389 because some other application has that port locked. Please close any applications that may be using this port and try again."
Have no idea what application would be locking this port. If I go to canyouseeme.org the port is open and is not blocked by ISP.
Just to make sure I am doing rite:
Computer: Which IP do I use? My outside IP?
Username: This can be the one I am using to log into my computer or the full account name?
Password: password I'm using to log in
Domain: Leaving blank.
Anyone can help or sorted this issue out before?
Thanks

Remote Desktop Sorted..
Hi there..
Just wanted to add this in case someone else has the same issue.
If you have Vista Home Premium the Remote Desktop is disabled in the OS. You have to re-enable it using a hack.
This is the link which walks you through it hxxp://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1220&Itemid=224
Once you finish this make sure that you have the port forwarding on your router for 3389.
If you do it should run. I noticed that my internet connection died once I was able to connect to my computer using my HTC HD2. Once I disabled the port forwarding the internet worked again.
It's rather difficult to navigate on your PC using your Phone without a stylus but hey I'd rather have this than missing some other stuff..
If you need help with the remote send me a pm. I know how frustrating this can be..

I have an issue with my cooked ROMs for my Nike - I have done plenty of searching and have even replaced most (if not all) of my kitchen, but the issue still prevails.
Internet Sharing opens and connects without an issue - the PC gets a network card installed (remote ndis...etc), but I can't get it to receive an IP address from the phone, so therefore I can't use the internet sharing.
anyone got any ideas? it does it on COM2 and COM5 builds. I have recmodded the internet sharing folder, but this still has no effect. I have added a copy of the internet sharing folder so that it is installed last in the build and still nothing.
Thanks in advance
DT
So nobody else has this issue??
Tried just setting an IP for the pc on the pc?
Probably something like 192.168.0.x
tried that - wasn't sure of the DNS settings though - so can't browse, etc.
There must be a simple solution if nobody else is experiencing this - just wish I knew what it was.
thanks

I would try testing the app with a different computer, i had a really stubborn Toshiba laptop (on winXP) that never obtained an IP address while it worked perfectly on my ubuntu laptop and win7 desktop.
If nothing prevails, you could try using the more advanced ICS Control or even WMWifiRouter
I had this issue for a long time and I don't know why Internet Sharing is connected with Advanced Network functionalities on my device and if it isn't active, the No IP situation pops up... take a look there...
I have the same problem on my Jade, so I use WMWIFIRouter, DHCP works prefecty...[/I]
Solved
The "Remote-NDIS Host" network adapter was not assigned an IP address, so I cooked in the address 192.168.0.1 and it is now working. Not sure why it wasn't there to begin with, but hey, it now works and I am a happy camper
Here is the reg entry that I added to my kitchen for anyone else who may have the same problem...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]
"Subnetmask"=hex(7):32,00,35,00,35,00,2e,00,32,00,35,00,35,00,2e,00,32,00,35,00,\
35,00,2e,00,30,00,00,00,00,00
"IpAddress"=hex(7):31,00,39,00,32,00,2e,00,31,00,36,00,38,00,2e,00,30,00,2e,00,\
31,00,00,00,00,00
