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:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/ics_other
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.
1,open of course sucess.
2, WPE also sucess.
But WPA(Pre-SharedKey) can not be sucess.
D900 version: 18159 WWE.
For me only Jwrightcmp's WM6 2.02.02 ROM works. Or WM5.
UPDATE!!! Working
Goes through all of the right motions but unfortunately does not connectfor me either. WEP and open do work for me. I use WEP and MAC filtering at home, but would prefer TKIP.
I left it sit on my desk for about half an hour, trying to access the wireless router. I was checking it one last time, before giving up, but it had connected!!!! I will try again tomorrow and report back.
Works But Buggy IMO
I Personally Use WEP At Home Even Though I Know It Can Be Cracked In 5-10 Mins With The Right Knowledge, (Ive Done It Myself Even With MAC Filtering Enabled)
My Girlfriend Has SKY Broadband And Her Router Uses WPA:TKIP.
I Find That I Can Connect On Most WM6 Roms But I Have To Do The Following:
Enable WIFI.
Wait For WIFI To Start The Connection Process.
Disable WIFI.
Enable Wifi Again.
Now My Wireless Connects And Works.
Im Not Sure That This Works With All WPA Configurations But For Me This Works With WPA:TKIP On WM6 ROMs That Are Supposed To Suffer From The WPA Bug.
If This Works For Anyone Else Then Feel Free To Confirm This Method.

im sorry, didn't mean to be mean.
That was my despair talking...
We are a family!!!
Thanks you all for your kindly and usefull info that i checked:
build 15341, direct to use WPA/PSK;
build 18159: just followed OllieD said, and possible use WPA, 18159 not very stable.
build 17913: as Ollied said, During searching WPA, just switch off wifi and take it on, then WPA connected. Ok, i will use this stable and fast ROM untill a usefull G4 ROM build 18508 (or 19xxx)!!!

This has always worked for me in WM6.
I reported yesterday that I had success with WPA-TKIP, that is still the case. I reflashed today with Leo's latest, and even though there are still some issues, I was able to connect today again to WPA-TKIP at work. It took time for the first connect to go through, but whenever I came back to the device, woke it up and relinked, it has been fine all day. I will check again on Monday and Tuesday, But it appears to work for me. (I have a G3) one of the earliest Uni's in the US through a special importer.
Another trick

I use a little different approach since yours doesn't work for me (just change step 3 and 4):
Enable WIFI.
Wait For WIFI To Start The Connection Process.
Turn off Uni and wait a couple of seconds.
Turn on Uni.
Now My Wireless Connects And Works.
Marco.
cails to connect the first time only
1.switch on wifi (using connection manager) - fails to connect
2. switch off wifi
3. switch on wifi and it successfully connects.
I use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325466

No WPA PSK/TKIP problems with Darkforce Rom. It may be outdated but still rocks!
Hi
I'm using Leo's latest rom update 1 (1.17.00,42.53.P8,2.11.00 WWE,5.2.1908 b18508.0.7.0. My bootloader says 1.00 so I guess its a G3)
I've been trying all 3 methods I've read here for about a week (wifi on wait 30 mins, wifi on, off and back on, wifi on and uni off and back on) with my old Netgear WGT624 (one of the early 108Mbps routers).
Finally today I started changing the settings on the router and got it working. I changed the "mode" setting from "Auto 108" to "g only" but it still didn't work. Then I changed it to "b and g" and the "wifi off - wait 2 secs - back on" worked immediately. I guess the other 2 methods will work too.

18508 for G4 run out but WPA fault!
also, switched on wifi but can not switch it off!
G4 Build 18508 by ranju.
this is the first G4 build 18508 ROM, Thanks ranju anyway!!!
finding a commManager to update maybe fix this!
if we haven't a commManager, how to switch WIFI on and off???
Try this, it's already working on other devices like the Axim X51V and the HX4700.
Download Instructions: download archive http://rapidshare.com/files/59123134/x51v_wm6_wpa_fix.rar.html
You must copy wzcsvc.dll to your \windows folder
You can't do that in your PDA.
1- Turn-off wifi, then soft-reset your PDA
2- Connect to your PC via activesync
3- Copy wzcsvc.dll from PC to \windows folder of PDA via ActiveSync's explorer
Thanks to vagus

I have the same problem... I'll develop a new CommManager soon... that will cooperate with my WiFiService... You can use this to effectively turn on/off the WiFi device through the Connectivity balloon (fixed)...
goodmorning ! wake up HTC Universal users
this may your most important update since wm6 is possible
This software eliminates the need for turn off/turn on trick to connect wpa networks on Dell Axim x51V, and HP HX 4700.
i suppose it will also work for you

Hi
I just upgraded to ranju's latest 7.4 ROM.
At first, it seemed that the wifi connection had problems, because I couldn't seem to open a web site right... it would always stop before fully loading it, leaving out most of the images (like when you have a mismatched MTU value in the registry). IN addition, after some minutes the connection would definitely stop working, with DNS timeouts, and unability to ping even my AP's IP (192.168.1.1). Finally, the WiFi would disconnect and not reconnect until I power cycled it.
So i triple checked my access point, checked other networked pc, hard-resetted the device, tried with other AP's. No go.
Only today I discover that these problem exists even when connected via GPRS, UMTS and also when my device is cradled to the PC with the connection sharing.
Web browsing is obviously ok on my PC and pages load very quick.
I previously had nncuong's 2.11.11 ROM (the only really stable ROM around here for months) and everything worked a treat.
Can't it be that some upgrades aren't compatible with older ROMs? For example that upgrading to Ranju's WM6.1 from nncuong 6 screws up something?
many thanks
I have spent the last week at work more focused on the XDA forum than what I am actually paid to do here at work...
I am so unproductive now, I am actually willing to donate to the forum if the forum can produce results, so that I can finally get back to work in peace!
I have thoroughly read through most relevant posts. I cannot find any specific post that solves the problem I have, so I decided to post anew, against some suggestions...
Anyway, the problem is that,
I cannot get any of my applications that are internet-dependent (skype, mail, weather etc) to access the WIFI connection that "apparently" looks connected, IF WEP (or any other encryption, for that matter) is enabled on the WIFI Router.
OK, what I mean by "apparently" is that the Wifi signal appears at its fullest, the lollipop on top of the screen with arrows is there, and even if I go into start>settings>Connections>wifi, it says that (my particular internet connection, named) Linksys is "connected".
The problem is, with wep encryption (and any other encryptions), it has worked once or twice. I cannot remember if that was before or after the Hard-SPL and radio downgrade (to get it unlocked) but ever since that "beginners luck" connection, I have had no success with connecting these apps to internet through WIFI.
First of all, I cannot figure out why, but I can connect by
1/ GPRS (the only available here in Vietnam - no 3G /HSDPA yet),
2/ with open connection and no encryptions of any kind by the WIFI router, my WIFI and Raphael connects fine. Data transfer happens.
The reality is, it is not very realistic for me to ask all others at work to make their WIFI connection with no security or encryptions..
So, having explained the situation, in a nutshell, problem is that by enabling excryption like WEP, the connection does not allow me to use WIFI on my raphael.
Is this hardware or software on Raphael side? or is it WIFI router side?
Other devices, including my TyTn II connects fine with WEP, which rules out the router, right?
I cannot remember if the problem started before or after OliPro unlock...
If it worked before but not now, there is of course always the possibility of hardware mulfunction, but since it works with no encryption, I am guessing it is hardware?
I have gone to other WIFI networks that are healthy, with other hand held devices happily connected to WIF, but nope...not me...
Any ideas guys?
WRT54G2 Wireless_G Router
DHCP Enabled,
Wireless network mode is set at mixed (both G and B, but by the way, I have tried only G and only B too, with no luck)
Channel set at 1, SSID enabled.
WM 6.1
ROM 3.14.731.04 JPN
Radio 1.10 Olinex
Protocol 52.35.25.21H
AFAIK, Raphael connects to WEP, WPA, WPA2(TKIP/AES)...
did you try deleting all the wifi settings and reconnecting?
or hard reset?

I completely understand what you are going through & I am going to suggest something for you but the results might vary.
Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned off.
Open your Comm Manager | Settings | Wireless LAN.
When you're in the Wireless LAN Settings panel, select Power Mode.
Slide the selector to Best Performance.
Tap OK & when you're back in the Comm Manager, turn on the Wi-Fi adapter.
Setup your work connection & see if your internet connections work.
One thing to note, while this has resolved my connectivity problems, the settings are not always saved for some unknown reason.
So, be prepared to key in the settings again.
I resorted to everything , not leaving anything to chance, and did many things at once.
It is now fixed, it seems, but at great cost in terms of time, and I cannot be sure which one of these was actually helpful.
But I hard-reset the TP, as well as updating the firmware on both the modem and the WIFI router, and then did hard reset on them too...
I cannot judge on what turned out to be true on other peoples' TP, but for me at least, for both TyTn II and Touch Pro I am currently using, setting connection from "internet" to> "Work" did not help at all....
Thanks anyways...
I love my Motorola Xoom. It is almost a perfect device, but the only thing that is destroyng my pleasure is my not being able to connect to my phone's hot stop. I have downloaded "Mobile Wi-Fi Router from the OMarket. I am able to connect to my phone through my desktop PC, but MyXoom tablet is not able to find it. Please fellow Xoomers help me fix my problem.
I was having the same problem.
The old WiFi tethers broadcast in ad-hoc networks, which android can't see.
I downloaded the newest version of WiFi Tether and it can broadcast in infrastructure mode and my Xoom was able to connect to that.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Drains the battery on my Epic pretty quick though.
I check the post but I do not see a download for a HD2. Do you know how my phone might be able to work? Thank you.
I just used the v3.0 one and it works perfectly on HD2 - no problem connecting to WiFi hotspot
I downloaded the app on my HD2, but the app is not compatible. Is it possible you could walk me through? Thank you.
IIRC I just downloaded it and side-installed the apk as one would any standard application. I think you probably need to be rooted however. What rom are you running on your HD2?
I am running the original 6.5 windows mobile.
That explains things - the application is an Android app as denoted by the .apk extension and therefore won't install on WM 6.5.
I left WM roms far behind. As soon as Cotulla released his magldr and the first NAND Android rom (31/12/10) I've never used another WM rom. Just flash your HD2 to a NANDroid rom and problem solved. If you want to stick with WM though you will have to look for another solution that runs on WM.
I'm not sure that there are any WM WiFi solutions that use infrastructure mode as it seems they only work in ad-hoc mode. If you don't want to flash your phone then you will need to get the Xoom to recognise an ad-hoc connection. I have seen some posts on this forum of people trying to do this but AFAIK they haven't succeeded yet.

Same here. I bounced back and forth between WinMo and Android on my HD2 during the SD card months, but when Magldr came out I went green and never looked back. Still, while I was in WinMo I looked and looked for a ROM that could do infrastructure mode (for my PS3, Wii, etc.) and had no success. It has to be enabled at the driver-level, and it looks like the newer Android drivers for the wifi chip in the HD2 support infrastructure mode and the old WinMo drivers don't. To make matters more depressing, the drivers aren't open source (as far as I can find) they're only distributed as binary modules, so we can't easily tweak the driver to enable the mode in WinMo.
Short answer, while nothing is impossible - this may as well be. Welcome to Cyanogen Mod 7, my friend.
[Q] xoom can't connect hd2 wifi hotsopt
My hd2 system is android 2.3 with WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.0-pre12. xoom could find it but when i cilck connect. xoom always show obtainting ip adrress.
Why?
Who knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
I have a HD2 with android 2.3.2. Its the tytung version. Build in wifi tether works fine for me.

Try the earlier wifi tether version 2_0_7. I also had some issues with the newer experimental version, but this one works fine.

Ad-hoc WiFi connections now supported apparently - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
The solution is upgrading to Windows Phone 7 which has WIFI that transmits in infrastructure mode or if someone here is kind enough to create a downloadable WM7 WIFI Reuter cab compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5.
