Hi guys Ive looked around and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. I come from wm6.5 omnia and I used to be able use the phone to give wifi to my pc. I dont have a wifi card for my computer but I was able to get wifi on my omnia and give my pc internet through usb. I know we can use the evos network to give the pc internet but can we use the wifi connection the evo gets instead? any prgrams that do that.
I just turn wifi on on the phone, and it works automatically when I plug in the phone. Just set it to internet sharing.
thanks bro i wasnt kissing keeping it simple haha that was easy lol
Yea, I can't lie. I was surprised how easy it was when I first did it myself.

I just went into Mac world and got my first mac laptop two weeks ago.
My wizard had already been upgraded to WM6.
In PC world, it's quite simple to use it as a modem over GPRS. Just turn on internet sharing.
How can I make it happen for Macbook pro?
Thanks.
if you still have you cd that came with your phone there should be a driver/how to on it for wm5 tethering.
wm6 pretty much your right just turn on internet sharing first then connect to GPRS and then plug it into you mac.
im sorry its off the top of my head but im sure that's it. im not at home at the moment. I don't think there is anything else to it. if I left anything out please someone correct me.
try that for now. good luck.
I was not around for a couple of days.
Thanks mdajunkie. Unfortunatelly I did try this way without success. Is there anybody with same problem like me?
Maybe this will help:

While its for setting up a Mac / Linux / Other as a client to an XP box doing ICS, it should be the same with your phone being the ICS server (I think).
I just stepped into the Mac world myself with a 15" MBP myself and I love it!
Using Bluetooth, it is VERY easy.
Turn Phone and MBP Bluetooth on, pair the device if you have not done so using "Set up Bluetooth Device".
Make sure your phone is connected to the internet. Load IE or Messaging and make sure it's connected. Then you can quit that program.
Load Internet Sharing on the phone.
PC Connection should be Bluetooth PAN.
Network Connection should be Cingular GPRS (Or similar)
Then hit Connect on the bottom left of the screen.
Now on the Mac, click the Bluetooth Icon in the top right of the screen and choose Join Network On ... (Phones name)
Thats it, you will now be using the phones internet.
Thank you all!
It works for BT! I have read same article.
here: http://weblog.techdad.net/2007/05/1...sharing-from-windows-mobile-6-to-mac-os-1049/
But I still failed in connecting with USB cable. Anyway, BT works.
Thanks again.
Ok so I was playing around with a friends iPhone a while ago and was impressed that it automatically connected to any un-secure wi-fi connection out there. Is there any sort of application out there that will do the same? It seems more efficient to have something always connect and leave wifi on, but that could just be me.
Let me know if this is possible or if there is already a program to do this. THANKS
eeeehhhhhhhhhhh
well I dont know if this answer your Q, but at least My TILT, automatically conects to the wi-fi conections (that I have already setup , btw: secured conections)
I havent try on any un-secured wi-fi, I dont know a place with unsecured conections...

Emjoy !
P.S could anyone tell the difference between the pay & free programs ??
I can't find the difference in features anywhere ... functions are the same to me !!
Easy is for your PC / Laptop, Pocket is for windows mobile.
Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
Hope it's this
It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:
"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "
google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...
hope this helped
Thanx!
I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?
Hey,
Is there a way to get internet on my Sprint HTC Touch Pro, by using the internet on my laptop??
I don't have wifi, just an ethernet cord for internet on my laptop, so that's why I'm asking.
I know you can do internet sharing and get internet on your computer through your phone, but does it work vice versa??
Also, if there is a way, does it work via bluetooth as well??
Thanks a bunch,
- Paul
If you connect your phone to ActiveSync, it will use your computer's internet.
Okay, well I'll try that then....if I can get my damn phone connected.
It's been acting up lately, and randomly connecting to the computer, and randomly not connecting. Pretty annoying.
EDIT: OMG!! Thank you so much dude! I didn't even know it would work that easily, I feel like an idiot lol.
Hello everyone. First let me explain that I have a capped data plan since I'm surrounded by wifi besides work.
Now here is my question. On my old tilt and tilt 2 which were windows based were capable of getting internet from simply plugging them into a PC via USB. The phone would then use internet from the computer itself.
I have a galasxy s (captivate) . Are there any apps to do such a feat?

I might have completely misunderstood what your saying, but could you not turn the wifi on from your phone and connect to them?
Wifi is not allowed at my work. Sorry should have said that.

i hope you are using windows 7 on your laptop...if you are,then download 'connectify'...its easy to set up and will turn your laptop into a wifi hotspot so that you can use your laptops internet connection on your phone... cheers
Its possible
It is possible. But there is a but.
It is a standard feature of HTC sync.... To connect your device to your laptop and use its internet connection.
So....I guess someone have to extract that functionality and pack it into something that works on all devices...
I use it quite a lot.. And I have removed sense from my revolution rom with a script from desire forum.
Good luck
hey all!!
Even ill like to know abt it!

Did you even bother to read the original post?
We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.
