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..

PS3 online via a smartphone?

Is there anyway to connect a 360/wii/or PS3 online via a smartphone?
I read somewhere that you could use your phone as a wireless router or connect the phone to a pc with usb (active sync and internett share) and then a tp cable from the pc to the console to get internett. Can any one help me with this?
(I have a free dataplan and Turbo 3G)

Tnx for the reply's guys *rolleyes*
I found it to be quite simple. Connect your PDA/smartphone to your PC and start internett sharing. Once that working start a ICS on your pc (Internet Connection Sharing).
You do that by :
1.Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
2.Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties.Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3.Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
Note: The Sharing tab will not be available if you have only one network connection.
And then you Connect one end of your Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet port. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox 360/PS3 console.
DONE
You can now play online.

Did you use a crossover ethernet cable ?

PC connect - still only as "Network adapter"

I have a problem to connect Polaris to PC.
It works without any problems (ActiveSync, copying, synchronizing,...) until I launch application "internet sharing" and try to share mobile internet for my PC.
It did not works, Polaris was not found in computer as any device, no internet sharing works, so I turned off the USB connection for sharing the internet and close the application "Internet sharing" in Polaris.
After connecting Polaris to PC again, Polaris is finded only as "Network Adapter" in device manager as "Windows-mobile network adapter" without drivers (with "?" in picture). If I delete this adapter manually while Polaris still connected, Polaris is found again, but still only in "Network adapters" as "Windows-mobile device".
I tried hard-reset of my Polaris, reinstall of SctieSync. Nothing helped, still the same connections to PC, only as "Network Adapter".
Installed is oficial HTC ROM WM6, czech customization.
I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Can anybody help please??
Many thanks

Open the Internet Sharing app, select the access point (you mobile internet connection), select the connection method (USB or Bluetooth, in this case USB), tap connect... now connect the PDA to the PC, wait a few seconds and start browsing... forget the network adapters, forget everything... just use it

You did not understand me.
The fact that I did not run internet sharing is for me NOT a problem...
The problem is, that after unsuccessful internet sharing I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO connect Polaris to PC in ANY WAY.. For ActiveSync, or to move or copy files, to synchronize Polaris.. Even when application Internet Sharing is turned off......
Polaris is still conecting as Network adapter, no other way..

Check the activesync (PDA) settings...
When cradled
X Snychronize all PCs using this connection:
'USB
Same for the PC

That is of course checked..

Then I'm officially out of ideas... but one more thing can be checked out, if it behaves the smae way on another PC, then the error is in the PDA, if not, then something has gone wrong on your PC...
