Ok... My situation is that I just installed Debian on my oooold PC which doesn't have a wireless adapter or anything that will allow it to connect to my router. I also don't have a data plan on my phone(unlocked ATT Fuze).
What I need is some way to connect to the internet through my phone when it's plugged into the PC. So... I don't have a data plan but can I transfer the data from my router to the PC, instead? o.o
you can connect using bluetooth PAN profile

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!

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?
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)
How do I connect my PC to my phone's Wi-Fi?
Can this be done via the USB connection to the phone?
I have tried the Wi-Fi Router App on the phone but no luck.
Also, my PC does not have any wireless hardware.
thanks

If your PC does not have WiFi hardware. You can buy USB Wifi receiver
Indeed a dream until someone special converts it into a reality.
Can HD2 connect to a USB Internet dongle (the ones that connect to notebooks via USB for accessing internet) and go online? If that can be made possible, HD2 will be able to connect on the go without using WIFI.
that would be AWESOME

NOPE .. can't do it ..
if you are talking about wired usb dongle no ... HD2 does not support USB Host mode, so you cannot plug devices into the HD2, the HD2 is the device ...
Hmm..
It is possible to connect HTC to other devices via bluetooth. I am sure the host capabilities are there. The only thing is to instal the software and the right driver and it wud connect. I have an Internet USB dongle that connects to my service provider. It automatically instals software when it is plugged into a windows notebook.
Been wondering if that software can be modified to instal on Wm 6.5 and then with the right chip drivers access internet.

That is bluetooth host, not usb host, to entirely different communication stacks .....
Besides, why run your battery down that much, to power a usb dongle, buy a wifi access point, usually cheaper than the usb dongle , connect via wifi ...
Why would you want to WIRE your wireless phone??
I would doubt a USB dongle is the only way to connect to your ISP , get a router with an access point ... easier on you easier on your phone ...

I'm a bit puzzled as to what you would actually be gaining, if this were possible.
The HD2 is a phone, it contains a SIM, and if you have data service enabled, it can already connect on the go, without using WIFI.
I was just thinking the same thing?! lol

I think you missed his point, he wants to plug his ISP's usb dongle into his HD2 and then use his ISP's connection on the HD2 ...
The Wifi router app does not do that, it allows you to surf the web on your PC via the HD2 ...
Hello, I'm at work and here is only wired internet, so i wanted to ask, is there any chance, that i can connect usb to pc that has internet and stole some network to my tablet?
I don't know any way to do that, but I use Connectify software on my netbook PC at work which then lets you connect wireless devices to it. The PC just needs to have a wireless and wired connection, it then becomes a hotspot for other devices. Cheers.
