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!

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?

How to connect to WIFI and PC together?

When I connect the device as-ACTIVSYNC
I can not connect to WIFI or DATA CONNECTION
Why?
any solution?

I reconnected my phone with my pc last night. There was definately an option to use wireless when connected to your pc. Have a look in the activesync options.

Wi-Fi through WM to Linux PC

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

CradlePoint with Sensation?

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?

[Q] Reverse tethering Bluetooth

Hi
I just want to know can I reverse tether my Xperia L through Bluetooth.
My PC is connected to internet via cable and it doesn't have WiFi.
Also I cannot connect my phone via cable. However, I have a plug and play bluetooth dongle that I can easily attach to it
I searched over the internet but couldn't find anything
Please help

Hi,
it's more easy if you have a wifi pc card to make it share using Ad Hoc...
if your pc has it, turn it on a adHOC that enables to share your connection via wifi to your xperia.
or try the hard way using bluetooth.. (lol)

Thanks for the suggestion
But I've already mentioned that I DO NOT have WiFi
And I can't buy a WiFi card
I've already seen the link you just gave and it doesn't work
I wonder if there's any other way
Just like the Reverse tethering app
