I wonder if there's any app/program that can make me use my HD2 as a internet source through WLAN? I've already searched the forum for this kind of question without sucess, so now I wonder if this option are availible in the HD2 or if someone could make a app for that.
And if it is availible as a option in the HD2, I'd really need some instructions.

theres a program called wifi router in the phone. where you can connect your laptop or pc too and use your data connection to access the internet.

Yes. I know that =) But with WiFi router I can't use WLAN as a internet source right?
So what do you want?
HSDPA --> HD2 --> wifi --> laptop?
Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop?
I think it's the latter.
You can connect your HD2 to an access point. However, then it is in infrastructure mode. It only has one radio with no virtual radio option. You cannot connect to a WLAN network AND simultaneously broadcast your own ad-hoc one.
However, you can connect the device to a WLAN network and connect it via usb to a laptop and then when it connects select 'internet modem' out of active sync and disk drive on the menu that appears on the phone.
Then disable the phone in commanager to force it to use wifi.
His question isn't clear at all, but I presume it's rather Wifi->HD2->laptop via USB, i.e make a USB Wifi dongle. In that case, WMWifirouter can do it.

as soon as he plugs in the HD2 via usb it will offer the 'use phone as gateway' option. no need to dialup I think. i havent tested it tho.
your laptop has no Wife function ?
perhaps he has another need for a second wifi card...yes, you techies know why you would need more than one wifi device or mac address...tehee, yes you do
Enchanter has a point though - why not get a usb dongle or pcmcia stick?
Better performance, less heat/strain on phone.

Look for Wifi Remote Access. Turns HD2 into something like a web server. You can browse and upload files to it from any other computer.
Okay thank you, and yes i mean Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop/PC.
Need it because of my wifi card is broken, and sometimes it is really usefull to have something like this.
And thank you all =) Will try what you recommended.

Hi to all.
In the new roms from WM 6. Have and application called "Internet sharing"
I want to use the USB cable (not bluetooth) to connect mi laptop to internet trought my universal 3G.
How i use it?
I activate the connection. Mark the USB and my 3G definition. Connect. It's connecto 3G. And in the laptop i cant navigate.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.
You have to disable the USB connection in activesync on your PDA, as well on your laptop. Mine worked with WM05!
First, connect the PDA to the net by selecting usb connection and your default 3g connection, push connect and then connect the PDA to the laptop and it will be seen as some modem or something else.

Hi,
I can describe, how I am using this feature in Vista.
First I do prefer to use Bluetooth over USB. The reason: it is very often that I am in the room, were the GSM/3G signal is poor. Then I can place my Uni in the window or other place were the signal is much stronger, and connect with the Uni using Bluetooth. The transfer is more or less on the same level as on USB anyway.
Now, Internet sharing option is a new function in WM6, bit like internet sharing in desktop windows. Our PC is not using the Uni as a modem. It uses it as kind of gateway to internet, meaning it use different protocols then with modem connection.
So, after pairing my Uni with my PC in Bluetooth, I got another kind of network connection on my network connections list. It is marked as closed connection with red mark on Bluetooth icon on this list. Then I go to internet sharing in my Uni and select Bluetooth Pan option and then click “Connect”. It establishes its own connection to internet using setup, previously configured in my Uni.
Then, in my PC I go to Network connections list and just click “Bluetooth network connection” icon. This makes my PC to connect with my Uni via Bluetooth using network (TCP/IP) protocol and use it as normal internet gateway. If I click the icon once more, then I get window showing standard connection with bites transferred, buttons for options, disconnection and so on. It shows that the connection is with 1Gb/s, but this is only for connection with my Uni. The connection from Uni to Internet is , obviously much slower and depends of local conditions and 3G standard.
Hope I could help.
Edit:
If I try to do the same over USB, then there is a problem. After connecting USB cable, my PC automatically goes into AS mode and syncs with my Uni. Then If in internet sharing I select USB and click "Connect" the syncing stops, AS in Uni shuts down (this is OK), but my PC try to install a new driver for new device and it does not find it, so it can not recognize my Uni as a proper gateway to connect with over USB. If it would install a driver then on Network connections list a new connection should show up, probably named as "USB network connection".
That’s the other reason I do not use it this way.
Show second and third post. Expain how to quit USB in AS to use this feature.
I will try this trroght BT, but (for me) via Cable is better, the pda is charging all the time. Via Bluetooth the battery goes down quickly.
People need help. I flashed my cingular 8125 with crossbow reloaded rom, its great but cannot seem to understand how to use internet connection sharing to get my laptop online. under network connections i can see that my phone is connected to the internet. but my laptop refuses to browse any site. i have winxp.

Check your firewall. In this mode, you are loged to a new network with different IP than your IP from your home network, if any. Using internet sharing your computer gets IP from your PPC. In my case it is 192.168.0.xx and the gateway is 192.168.0.1. It means that if your firewall was set to accept your home network with different IP, then you have to set it to accept this new IP as well. Oherways you will not get any comunication through this chanell. Of cource, this suggestion is valid only if you have any other firewall then Windows Defender.

I am using this in Vista. There is something named as Center for Windows Mobile Cervices. This is Vista version of AS. Here I do not need to quite USB and AS. Simply set Internet sharing option in your PPC for Bluetooth PAN and then click "Connect" in PPC. After that, click "Bluetooth Network Connection" in your Network Connections List in the PC. You will get the page with list of bluetooth access points. You should see your PPC device marked as the default device. Bellow you have "Connect" button. Click it and you are done.
By the way, the second and other posts describe the attempt to connect in the old way using modem connection. WM6 does not provide the modem support for PC connection. It means that officialy you can not use WM6 device as a modem like with WM5 or Symbian devices. However, HTC has released the modem driver for WinXP and Vista for new WM6 as an after market support. You can google for this on HTC pages. I never used this, cause this new way seems to me a lot easier. Also I never heard about anybody who succeeded with does drivers.
I use Windows Xp and the firewall is OFF
With the new WM6 rom of Ivan works for me

Hi, just checking, my O2 WM5 rom don't come with the "Internet Sharing" program.
May I know how to get it?
My current rom version is 1.30.107
hi, first post here.
i have an HTC Touch Cruise with the default factory rom and it has an internal wifi antenna... I'm trying to setup a wireless network with my neighbour but my PC doesn't have a wifi adapter (and i don't have the money for one right now), so i was wondering if it is possible to make the pda some sort of adapter for the pc to use via usb/bluetooth?
One of the first thing we'll do if it's possible is to crack the wep key cause he can't rembemer the password and a hard reset to the router doesn't erase it
can also anyone suggest some tools to do that job?
I was thinking of running these tools on the pc since the pda will only serve as some kind of NIC...
hope someone can help...
Edit: Forgot to mention that i also have a bluetooh adapter on the pc if that comes of any use
P.S: Great Forum btw
There's an internet sharing option in Windows Mobile 6. Connect to the wifi network using the cruise and configure the internet sharing options. Then connect the cruise to the PC via USB and the PC should be able to access the net via the cruise's wifi connection.

i've been snoping around that part, but it asks me for a conection name in which is on <none> cause i don't have a connection configured... if i go to the connections part, i don't know what kind of connection to create as it asks me to create a VPN or an ISP connection...
how can i configure internet sharing propperly?
would i be able to crack the wep key on the pc that way? (cracking it on the pc via the pda)
1. The program you'ew looking for is WmWifiRouter 1.20, it enables you to use your phone as a WiFi -> USB adapter...
2. Ask your neigbour to use Cain on his pc... it can reveal what's written in the password boxes (if it's XP or older), reveal it in the WiFi connection settings on the pc... Whith this you won't need any WEP cracking... also he should be able to change the WEP key without the original... if he doesn't know the access code to the router that's THE problem, check the manual for default values, and try those first before attempting anything else...
3. For configuring a 3G/HSDPA/GPRS/EDGE connection you'll need a data plan from you mobile carrier... after that you can configure the connection on your PDA.
VPN stands for Virtual Private Networking (read Wiki for more info)
ISP stand for Internet Service Provider (this'll be the one you'll need)

From what i've read on this forums, WmWifiRouter is for routing my 3G/HSDPA/GPRS/EDGE to other phones via wifi, but correct me if i'm wrong lol.
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna...
Thanks for the tips on the router, we'll try that
i know what those acronyms mean i just don't know how to configure them for the internet sharing program...
The ICS only shares your mobile internet with one computer be it on USB or BT, it can't act as a wifi adapter... The WMWifiRouter uses the ICS, but with different settings, that can't be utilized manualy... you can create an Ad-Hoc network with some registry tuning, but that's about it.. no DHCP, no NAT, no WEP, nothing that makes it easy, and secure...
Also I mentioned a version number for WmWifiRouter... the leatest (1.20) supports the Wifi -> USB mode, so with this your PDA can act as a WiFi adapter.
Also these PDAs weren't ment to be used this way, so expect high-level battery drainage, you'll need atleast 2 USB ports to charge it while using WMWiFiRouter.
But you can download the trial from the site, and see for your self... you won't loose anything with trying...

Ok, i got the 1.20 trial on the pda and got it working in Wifi -> usb mode, but now how do i search wireless networks on the pc? i noticed it is detected as wired connection, not a wireless one...
You don't need to quote the previous reply...
The PC sees a wired connection... so? You thought that, you can use the windows Wireless Zero Config for searching? I guess you just found out that you can't...
The wireless connection is managed by your PDA, connect to a wireless network with you PDA after you set up the WiFi -> USB...
gnick is correct, I am actually using my phone at home as a Wifi Adapter with WMWifiRouter 1.25 and it works very well. And YES, you have to connect your Wifi on phone first, then connect phone to computer via USB and (in my case) Windows 7 does the rest... I believe Vista also. Not sure about XP, don't have an XP machine, well I do, but it's off sitting in the closet (in timeout for not behaving good.. hehe)

I found this, but you have to use Linux.
Sorry for the trouble with the link, but it does not allow me to post one.
What you are referring to is called "Reverse USB Tethering". It is a function available by default in HTC phones (Internet Pass Through) but sadly we do not have this function natively built in. I made a thread on this topic long time back, search for it.
It all depends on what OS you are using on your PC and whether or not you have a static LAN connection. Theoretically it can be implemented for Windows but it is quite tricky and requires DHCP enabling. Unfortunately i have a static connection and i couldnt do it so i use a wi-fi dongle.
I tried to follow this tutorial to use a CradlePoint CTR350 router with the Sensation
http://www.cradlepoint.com/about/blog/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router
I do not see the "Mobile Broadband Connect" USB connection mode. I did see a USB Tether option, which asked me Mac of PC and I figured the router would be more like a PC and I chose PC. The phone would not share its internet connection with the router.
Has anyone been able to use a Sensation with a CradlePoint router, and if so, which router and what settings did you do on the phone?
Thanks
Any comments?
Thanks in advance.
I really would like to be able to connect the Sensation to a Cradlepoint router so it can be a backup Internet source if my wireline Internet service is down. Any ideas on getting Sensation to work with CradlePoint?

I had a quick look at the web site you gave. If I understand it, it's a USB -> WIFI router. Such that the Cradlepoint WIFI routes via USB and 3G (phone) to the Internet.
Assuming that's the case I can't see anything in particular why it shouldn't work.
Can you use USB tethering to connect a single PC to the Internet via USB/3G ? (If this works and my assumptions are correct the phone is working fine).
Do you need to configure the Cradlepoint device in any way ?
In the absence of this, the phone can act as a WiFI hotspot, does this not give you enough connectivity to the Internet?

I actually have Mac and I often use the wifi tethering. I only tried USB tethering with the Cradlepoint. The first time the phone asked me Mac or PC and I chose PC, thinking Cradlepoint would be similar to PC. I don't know how to get it to ask PC or Mac for USB tethering again. I would like to be able to connect an Ethernet cable to Cradlepoint to get to the Internet. That would be for the scenario my home Internet is down, then I would want to connect my main router WAN to the Ethernet of the cradlepoint and get Internet through the cell phone.
Anyone have any success in using a cradlepoint?
I came from HTC HD2 with Android where I had in the very usefull function Internet Pass-Throught.
With Internet Pass-Through I can share the internet connection of my pc with my phone through usb cable so I have not to use wifi when I have to download a lot of Megabyte.
Is it possible to do something like this with the Galaxy R or with same apps?
But wifi is free, why do you need a PC?

This is a standard function built into our android. You need no app.
Go to settings... networks... tethering... and there select if you want the R to route to usb or wifi.

Then turn your pc into a wifi access point.
If you have linux, try this : http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
You can try the following for windows, but not sure it works!!
For reverse tethering/pass through, you have to connect your phone using USB and go to network devices and bridge these connections : NIC with you phone.
I use Connectify and a cheap USB wifi dongle to share the Internet connection from PC to phone. Good wifi connection speed is 3-5 megabytes per second. So it's less than 3 minutes to download half of a gig (the size of heaviest Tegra games). I wouldn't call this slow.

How do you do that? My phone is not visible as a network adapter when connected. Should I try USB tethering and doing it?
I always used to use this feature on my Windows mobile through Microsoft proprietary ActiveSync software. I certainly miss that feature on Android devices.
Hopefully we get it on ICS!
