Please anyone: I can't connect anymore to internet via activesync when my jamin (prophet) is connected to my laptop, and my laptop to the net.
In other words, any program requiring a net connection (internet explorer, weather channels, newsland...) would automatically launch GPRS connection instead of "using" the already present activesync-internet connection.
Hope I was clear enough, and thank you for any help.
you pick network connection in connection settings
Thanks, it works. Should have found it myself...
Does anyone know how to configure WM6 internet sharing using WIFI via USB to a laptop PC which does not have WIFI?
When I click on the internet sharing, my Qtek 9000 running WM6 always tries to do GPRS/3G connection, even if the WIFI is on and fully functional.
Is there anyway to change that?
Thank you in advance.
From what I understand is that is does exactly what you explain, it will share your device's GPRS/3G internet connection. But I dont think you can turn the Qtek into an accesspoint for laptops to connect to via WiFi or share an incomming WiFi signal.
Biffert,
Yes, you are correct. I want to turn my Qtek 9000 as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth Access Point. Or simply view it as a WIFI/GPRS/BlueTooth internet access super USB dodge for my PC.
Thank you for your pointing out about current internet sharing limitation of WM6.
However, there are two issues about the WIFI can not be shared.
One is that I am often in a place where has no GPRS, only have WIFI.
The other is that there are many regular PDAs which have no GPRS, only have WIFI. When WM6 is available for those regular PDAs, many people will ask this internet sharing via WIFI question.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have done this just now and what you need to do on WM6 is just configure the gprs / 3g settings on your mobile phone and then go to start-programs-internetsharing. The jasjar should be connected via usb.
Set the pc connection to USB and select the nework connection you have previously configured from the list. hit the connect button and you are done

You could use the GPRS/3G internet sharing to connect your notebook to the internet, and share that connection (using ICS) from the notebook (set the wifi card to Ad-Hoc mode). I have never tried this though, so I'm 100% sure it will work
Thank you to all for your suggestions.
The limitation is that if there is not GPRS available, even though my Qtek is already connected to internet (WIFI), my PC is not able to access internet via USB using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
I think that I need to describe the situation in detail.
I have a PC which can not access internet because it does not have WIFI, or BlueTooth, or GPRS. But it has a USB port.
I have a Qtek 9000 which can access internet by either WIFI, or GPRS, or BlueTooth. And my Qtek 9000 has WM6 internet sharing enabled.
What I want to do is to connect PC with Qtek 9000 via USB cable to let my PC to access internet using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
Idealy, regardless how my Qtek 9000 is connected to internet (WIFI, GPRS, BlueTooth and etc.), my PC should be able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing.
The current WM6 internet sharing is limited to that if Qtek 9000 is connected to GPRS internet, my PC is able to access internet via USB cable using Qtek 9000 WM6 internet sharing. If Qtek 9000 is connected to WIFI internet, WM6 internet sharing will not work.
I think this issue will be resolved sooner or later because when regular PDAs start to use WM6, many people will want to have WIFI WM6 internet sharing because regular PDAs do not have GPRS.

Between PCs and regular PDAs, usually the internet connection sharing would go the other way around. Nearly all laptops these days come with a Wifi card and virtually all desktop or laptops come with Ethernet NICs. For this reason I think that perceived demand is low and this functionality was not envisioned when WM6 ICS was designed.
I think the easiest way would be to get a USB wifi adapter for your PC... You won't have to worry about battery life on the phone, etc.
Wondering how possible it is to do something slightly different. I have a UTStarcom PPC-6700 running one of the various AKU3.5s out there. The Internet Sharing feature is great, but the only options are to connect the PC via either USB or Bluetooth.
Now, what would be really slick, since the 6700 has integrated WiFi, would be to enable Internet Sharing over WiFi and effectively turn the 6700 into a WiFi access point. Anyone make any progress on this?
And... I'm new here, so please accept my apologies if I have asked something that has been already asked ad nauseum.

Yes, sharing EVDO over WiFi instead of bluetooth and USB is already possible. Just click here to see how..
However, I have yet to see how to share WiFi over USB or Bluetooth... Let me know if this is posted anywhere...

i have a very similar problem: my laptops built-in wifi-card can only handle WEP encryption, but not WPA !
so i would like to use my Neo as a "wifi-modem", connected to my laptop by usb-cable.
any news on this ?

Joined the conversation a few years late! Anyway, this may be the answer to your question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
Does anyone know how to configure the remote desktop in WM6 to connect through GPRS. I have managed to get it to connect through a USB cable no problem but when I disconnect the cable and try it through GPRS it just says no connection and doesnt even try to connect to GPRS.
Any help appreciated.
Any specific program that you're using?
yeh would be good to know if this is possible i used Remote Desktop Mobile but all i can get is it to connect over wifi with the computer on that network, never over a data connection.
Try opening up internet explorer mobile first, let that connect to the internet for you through gprs and then run the remote desktop application.
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.
hi, i have a PC with DSL connection, i connected my xda IIs to my PC using activesync so that i can have internet on my PPC, now i want to share my internet using my PPC's wifi to my laptop, is it possible that my PPC can turn into a wifi router?

thanks for the reply. i tried it but it uses my ppc's 3G internet connection.i already have internet connection on my PC and i want to share it using my PPC as wifi router so that i can connect my laptop and other wifi capable devices.
