connecting internet via bluetooth

Hi community!
I have an USB Bluetooth on my desk computer which has a permanent internet connection. I want to connect to internet with my XdaII and i want to use the computer's internet connection.(and also use bluetooth to sync my pda.) I tried the "connect via bluetooth" option in Activesync program on my pda but nothing happens although bluetooth is on and my computer is discoverable.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your time.

If you set your Activesync to stay connected after you sync, you should be able to use the internet through that connection.
I just tried it and I am getting 483k transfer speeds.
Thanks,

i tried 6 times, but it doesn't help, nothing happens if i press "connect via bluetooth"button.
thank you guys though.

did you follow the guide as in
add a com port as bluetooth on both the pc and on the pda
and bound with the pc checking out that you wanted to sync that way ?

thank you rudegar, i tried it 3 times again and on the third time it connected
thank you for your time.
i can connect to internet easily now.

Use the Vox as WiFi adapter?

Just wondering, I know you can use WM5 phones as modems using GPRS and Edge, but what would be really cool is if you could use it as a WiFi adapter so that you could for example connect your laptop to WiFi through the phone. Is this somehow possible with WM6?
Cheers!

Well, you can choose the "Ad hoc" connection type in Wi-Fi connections.

But when I connect the phone to my PC through the USB cable, the WiFi switches off.. It would be wonderfull if I could use the phone as a WiFi adapter for the Computer, but so far.. no luck!?
Cheers!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to disable USB connection for internet, somewher in the phone settings (maybe in intert explorer or active sync) ....

Well, it didnt work. Firstly, I cant select "Ad-Hoc" on any of the WLAN networks im using.. Oh well, I guess it just isnt possible?

Can't open internet while plugged in to pc

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!

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..

When I connect my device to my computer ( activesync)

I cannot enable my wifi, how to resolve this?

ActiveSync via (W)LAN isn't possible.

nono, i don't mean connecting to activeSync via wifi, it's when i'm connected to activesync(USB), my wifi is disabled, and cannot be enable...

Thats normal! You cant enable wifi via Comm Manager while your device is connected.. Try to enable it over the Settings -> connections -> Wi-Fi..

May be your PC was on the internet, cut off the internet connection on your PC,and try again!

Open active sync on PC while connected and then settings, tick the box for "allow data connection on device when connected to pc"

HTC disabled WiFi when plugged in with ActiveSync...
If you want wifi on, either enable it before plugging the device in, or use the WM settings menus.

Oh, that's why, i thought my Wifi spoilt, lol thanks for the help guys

I went to Desktop and set "Allow other networks ..." for the connections that shows up when I plug in PDA in usb.
However, this is not solving my issue, and after a while I get a message on PDA that IP coould not be acquired or something.
WHen I look in PDA at USB stats address is 0.0.0.0.

Please help me recover the lost day on this.
Thank you.
