Is it possible?
I believe so, there are a few programs that will help you out. The 8125 ships with Cingular’s "wireless modem driver".
Would that be on the OEM CD? Also, how do you use it?
If you are using WM6 just start Internet Sharing ...and active sync will automaticaly configure your device as a modem (no driver neded)
If you are using WM5 start Modem Link and use attached files (contains instructions too)
...but will AOL recongnize it as a modem and allow me to connect (dial-up) using the cell phone line instead of my land line?
Maybe, but I doubt it. Your best performance senario would be to use the instructions posted above for establishing a connection to the internet then setting up AOL to use a TCP/IP (Network) connection instead of Dialup. It's been more than a coupl of versions since I've used AOL, but it should be somewhere in the connection settings.
sync up to active sync and then open programs on ur phone then modem link..pretty simple..
try to use Internet Sharing, Good Tool
ya WM5 uses DUN so you will need to activate modem link and have the drivers ready. then you have to create a proper DUN connection
WM6 is hella easy. just activate internet sharing and plug it in. It works as a PAN (like a network adapter) so all you have to do is open a browser after it's plugged in.
AOL will work for both. However it works different for each one. if you use WM5, there is an actual modem that AOL can select. It's called HTC USB modem. You can also setup AOL to use the existing TCP/IP connection. This is how you would do it if you are using WM as well.

I used the above drivers, with wm5 on my 8125 and I'm able to use my phone for Laptop internet access through a USB connection.
This works great.
Only problem is that now, after installing the drivers, when I plug in my device active sync does not communicate with the phone....

Nevermind (light-bulb pops into mind as he realizes how to turn "modem link-off" from 8125 menu...

What about if I want to send a fax from either the phone or my computer? How can I dial to remote fax machine?
Thanks for help.
Faxing is so eighties!
Anything that can be faxed, can be scanned!
Anything you can do through a web browser, theoritically can be done, I have never done a search for fax software for WM5, it seems like technologies like the Wizard are on the opposite end of the spectrum from something like the telegraph or fax machine

I have Cingular, and I was told that you have to have a data plan in order to use the phone as a FAX machine. In other words, it's cheaper to use a FAX service.

Well, I am not going to argue the evolution of technologies. In fact, fax is still a tool widely used in today's business - I am sure a fax number shows on everyone's business card.
Staying on topic, the point is whether we can utilize a wizard for a modem to modem dial.
LONG time reader, rare poster! I've been searching for my issue here, but just can't seam to find it.
I see a LOT of posts that WM6 needs no drivers to be used as a modem. Since I've flashed my 8125 to WM6 I have not been able to use it as a modem, BECAUSE it's looking for drivers. I have no internet connection at home (because of a ghetto apartment complex and REALLY old phone lines). I can active sync my phone with no problems, but when I activate Internet Sharing, my computer recognizes an 'unknown device' and doesn't find any native drivers. My goal for this evening is to uninstall the old modem setup that I had pre WM6, in case that is causing any issues. If this doesn't work, does anyone have other ideas? (FYI - running xp pro)
Internet shareing won't go to internet
I am using internet sharing but I still can't connect to internet. Any change or setup on browser? I am using firefox.

Is this also true for a DIAL-UP modem connection? I think this one only works for wifi/GPRS/UMTS etc.... connnections?
So, I'm already getting tired of plugging into the USB every time I want to transfer file. Is there anyway to transfer file without using the hard wire? WLAN or bluetooth or any suggestion are welcome! Please show me how to do it though! (Because I tried and searched but can't figure it out!)
Thanks
The phone supports bluetooth FTP, which allows just what you're looking for, I would type up a description but im sitting on the floor typing on my phone.. so maybe someone else can But in a nutshell, pair the 2 devices, (both must support bluetooth ftp), set up a bluetooth ftp share on the phone thru the bluetooth settings app, connect to the phone over bt.
its notably slower than the usb2.0 transfer though.
bluetooth
beam file thru bluetooth from a laptop or pc. set your phone to discoverable under bluetooth settings and on your bluetooth enabled pc you should be able to right click a file and click on sent to... and bluetooth device should be an option. a new screen will show up where you can search for nearby bluetooth devices and the rest should be self explanatory, the default password should be 0000 unless you changed it. hope this helps. bluetooth is rather slow tho. i usually only use this method for small cab files. i use the usb cable or a sd card reader for bigger files.
Great! I finally figured it out. So I have to enable FTP on this phone. lol
Total Commander has a LAN plugin that'll allow you to access samba shares on other computers. should be much faster than transfers via bluetooth as it's done over wifi.
You can also use Activesync.

I can access shares on my computer without samba or Total Commander. I just use file explorer.
This is really easy-peasy.
All you have to do is connect your phone to your Wi-Fi network, and then go into the File Explorer.
Click Menu > Go To > Open Path > New Path...
In the dialog box, type in the path to the share on your PC (yes you need to share the location on your PC that you want your phone to be able to access), for instance;
\\mypc\sharename
Click OK
Now you will be able to browse the folders on your PC and transfer files to/from it to your heart's content, just like you were looking on your own phone's filesystem.
Happy file transferring! :O)
ur awesome!!!!
Need help
Jim,
I must be a bit thick. I have my network set up for file sharing, but when I followed your instructions, I get a Network Log On screen and I'm not sure what I need to enter. User name... Password.... Domain.... ????? I'm already logged on securely to my WiFi network, so I do not understand what I should be entering here.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks very much.

Sounds like you need to enter your WINDOWS username/password to log in to your windows pc.
You may also need to create some shared folders on the windows pc if you have not already.
As mentioned, my network is already set up for sharing (among several systems) including specific drives and folders.
I already tried using my Windows username and password, without success, which is why I posted my question.
I'm still clueless.
I'd love to get this to work, but I'm not getting anywhere either.
I do have network shares set up.
I'm connected on wifi.
I go to file explorer->Menu->Open Path->New Path and put in \\Laptopt2310\test which is the computer I want to connect to and a shared folder on that computer.
I get a popup pointing to my wifi indicator saying cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
If I tap settings, it takes me to a connection set up where it says Verizon Wireless with some options under and My Work Network with some options under that.
The advanced tab has a box for select networks and I have Verizon Wireless in the Internet box and My Work Network in the private network box.
I don't want to touch anything there and screw things up.
It's almost like it's trying to do it over the phone's data connection and not wifi, but I did a quick speed test and at least the internet browser is definitely using the wifi connection.
Well, I figured out that I could also do this in resco and total commander.
Both of them connect fine on wifi. Not sure why file explorer doesn't, but I guess it doesn't really matter now.
What's the secret?
I also use Resco. Can you explain exactly what you did to make a successful connection?
Those of you still trying to use File Explorer, the username, password and domain should be your Windows username, Windows password and the name of your PC respectively.
If you don't get any joy using the PC name as the domain, or in the path dialogue, you can use the ip address instead - it may be that your network is having problems resolving names to ip addresses.
Trust me, it really does work, I've never had a problem using it at home on a perfectly bog-standard wi-fi network, with the shares on a Vista PC (it also worked with Windows 2000 before that).
Obviously, you have to be sure you're using your Wifi network and not GPRS / HSDPA.
Hope that helps!
Jim,
After some tinkering, I was successful in getting the Fuze on my network. What a great tip! Many, many thanks for sharing this with us.
No problem, happy to help.
I'm sure this is all in the manual somewhere ;O)
I can pair my phone with the computer through bluetooh, but in the bluetooth settings menu when i select my computer I only see 'Wireless Stereo' and 'Headset' as service. Is this because the laptop might not support bluetooth ftp? Its a new Lenovo T400 with built in bluetooth, I figure that should support it?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Don't bother with bluetooth, it's too much hassle, just use the File Manager over Wifi, it's far easier!
But what if I really do want to use bluetooth...?
When I view my bluetooth devices on the laptop I can click properties on my Touch Pro and see the following services: A2DP, Active Sync Bluetooth service, Dial-up networking, Headset audio gateway, Object Push (Obex)
On the phone I go Start->Settings->Connections->Bluetooth and then select my laptop that i'm tethered to and I only see Wireless Steroe, ActiveSync, and headset.
Am I missing drivers on one of the devices? It looks like its possible something wrong on the TP seeing how my vista laptop is listing obex as an option...
Any help is appreciated
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?

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!
Hi, Guys.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to stop my WM6.1 blackstone (Touch HD) from attempting to connect to the data connection when I do something network related on the phone. Because It's already connected to wifi.
I'm connected to wifi, and can browse the web, use messenger etc.. But if I attempt something like entering a network path like \\NETDISK\share into the file explorer, it says "Cannot connect etc..." and it's trying to connect via the HSDPA connection, which can't access my local network anyway. It needs to use the wifi...
Is there any way to stop it trying to connect? In the connection settings, I've deleted all modem connections, leaving just the wifi connectivity. If I try to add wifi as a modem, the option is not there...
I'm really lost with this. Please offer any advice you can. I'm close to twisting it in half..

7- now you can work with the wifi of you POcket PC
Gooodman, thanks for the reply, while i'm sure many will find this thread useful now, It's of no help to me.
I do have connectivity via WiFi, It's not a normal networking issue, my network is setup perfectly.
The issue is that the Touch HD is always trying to connect via other means even when wifi is available and connected.
For instance, I'll open messenger, or click download on the aGPS data, and the phone attempts to connect to the internet via my phone service provider, when wifi, is connected and ready.
Some apps connect via wifi fine, it seems to be the WM software itself attempting the connection rather than any of my applications.
I don't think it's as straight forward as the first replyer seems to think.
If he'd be so kind as to post this incredibly simple resolution, i'd be very greateful.
I also struggle with this, but this seems to affect it:
a. Start\settings\connections tab
b. Connections
c. Advanced tab
d. Select Networks button
e. Play around with the drop down menu's, especially the lower one.
I cannot be more precise as I do not completely understand myself, but this has helped me in the past.
Hey Everyone,
I was searching all over Google and XDA to find an applicable solution to have reverse USB tethering enabled on my Captivate - I recall it was a default option in the stock JH6 it came with but afterwards, it was removed.
This is only for Windows based machines. I've tested this to work on my 32-bit Windows 7 laptop.
Now, before I go on, i'm going to mention some requirements to get this running:
*Rooted Captivate
*A console emulator - or program to apply a script
*USB Tethering in the Settings menu, most probably under "Wireless & Network"
*A Windows machine
*USB Drivers for your Captivate MUST be installed
There are two parts to getting this work, let's start by connecting the phone in "Debugging Mode" to the PC:
1.
Go to "Settings" --> "Wireless and networks" --> "Tethering" then select the check mark next to "USB Tethering"
2.
Open your console emulator - and type in the below:
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
This will force the USB to obtain its IP Address/Info from the DHCP server.
On the Windows machine, you will need to apply the below:
1.
Network and Sharing Center --> Network Connections (Change Adapter Settings)
2.
Make note of your Samsung USB interface, mine is named "Local Area Connection 10" (SAMSUNG Android USB Remote NDIS Network Device)
3.
Select the Network interface that you would like to share - mine is "Wireless Network Connection", and go to its "Properties"
4.
Go to the "Sharing" tab
5.
Check the first box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"
6.
In the drop-down box, choose the interface that recflect's your Samsung's USB
7.
Apply & OK, you should be good to go.
If this works on your side, don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button.
I hope you all enjoy!!
Edit:
Added a script so that users are able to apply the script via GScript rather than use a console emulator.
Thats a good guide... It will work from your local pc... not from your office pc because connection sharing will be most likely be disabled!! Well, when at home, I already have my wifi connection to use. This would have been so good if we could do it at our office
Thanks for sharing!

If your office PC has wi-fi adapter in it and runs Windows 7, you can use this guide http://tameyourpc.blogspot.com/2009/07/windows-7-as-wireless-access-point.html to turn your PC into a wifi AP. That's what I did in my office using my office laptop.
Office PC does have wi-fi, but getting Windows 7??? It is like hoping to get Honeycomb on our captivate
Well, I dont really care much now, I use about 1.6 to 1.7 gigs a month of 3g even after hooking onto every free wifi spot I get! so I am good..
I love how I was trying to fond out how to do this last month; I cant connect to the school's wifi anymore so I had to upgrade my data plan.
However im definitely going to do this when I get back.

Glad I could help.. Sucks if you don't have admin privileges at your office PC
I kinda like to use this when i'm low on battery, or when my phone can barely get a Wifi signal, but the Laptop has a better one.. etc..

I'm using it just fine here, not sure if it could be that the PC you're connecting to uses a proxy/firewall/security suite or something that might be blocking off some sort of traffic..
Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can browse the net, right?
Interesting, thanks

Will this reset to normal tether mode upon reboot? If not, what's the reset command?

yes, in fact, just upon removing the usb cable
i believe that even disabling/re-enabling usb tether should do the trick but i haven't tried it
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but is this method still usable? or does anyone has a better way to do reverse tethering by now?

Hey,
Sorry for not checking back on this.
I still use it till the day on Andromeda 2.2 and it rocks
Tell me how it works for you
I don't get it? You could use you PC for internet stuff and your phone as a phone? I love my smartphone but if I'm near a computer, that's usually going to be used first for anything data.

In simple words, you could get your Captivate to use internet off your PC, rather than waste your battery on wireless, or your GBs on your data plan - or simply if there is no wireless network!

You missed his point, he is saying why bother using the internet on your phone at all if you have a freakin COMPUTER in front of you.

Exactly 10char
Didn't really worked, can you help me out?
I got
1) USB debugging mode on
2) plugged in my phone to the pc
3) ticked Tethering in settings
4) opened the app "terminal emulator"
5) keyed in
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
6) Change adapter settings, and set to share, however I don't have the drop down box, so I'd figure it is on the advanced tab but I'm quite clueless to what to fill (I'm on windows 7)
*screenshot attached*

Ok, so from the screenshots it seems you've got the wrong interface:
3.
Select the Network interface that you would like to share - mine is "Wireless Network Connection", and go to its "Properties"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that should be the interface you want to share, say your Ethernet or Wireless.
And I believe that you configure the PC side first, then the phone side...
Tell me if it works this way for you.
I lost you, you're on a window xp machine? mine doesn't read as wireless network but as local area connection, I did start from the phone side, but the settings on the adapter seems to stick after I unplug and everything. Can I have a few screenshots? Sorry for the trouble.
