Internet Sharing. How to use it?

Hi to all.
In the new roms from WM 6. Have and application called "Internet sharing"
I want to use the USB cable (not bluetooth) to connect mi laptop to internet trought my universal 3G.
How i use it?
I activate the connection. Mark the USB and my 3G definition. Connect. It's connecto 3G. And in the laptop i cant navigate.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.
You have to disable the USB connection in activesync on your PDA, as well on your laptop. Mine worked with WM05!
First, connect the PDA to the net by selecting usb connection and your default 3g connection, push connect and then connect the PDA to the laptop and it will be seen as some modem or something else.

Hi,
I can describe, how I am using this feature in Vista.
First I do prefer to use Bluetooth over USB. The reason: it is very often that I am in the room, were the GSM/3G signal is poor. Then I can place my Uni in the window or other place were the signal is much stronger, and connect with the Uni using Bluetooth. The transfer is more or less on the same level as on USB anyway.
Now, Internet sharing option is a new function in WM6, bit like internet sharing in desktop windows. Our PC is not using the Uni as a modem. It uses it as kind of gateway to internet, meaning it use different protocols then with modem connection.
So, after pairing my Uni with my PC in Bluetooth, I got another kind of network connection on my network connections list. It is marked as closed connection with red mark on Bluetooth icon on this list. Then I go to internet sharing in my Uni and select Bluetooth Pan option and then click “Connect”. It establishes its own connection to internet using setup, previously configured in my Uni.
Then, in my PC I go to Network connections list and just click “Bluetooth network connection” icon. This makes my PC to connect with my Uni via Bluetooth using network (TCP/IP) protocol and use it as normal internet gateway. If I click the icon once more, then I get window showing standard connection with bites transferred, buttons for options, disconnection and so on. It shows that the connection is with 1Gb/s, but this is only for connection with my Uni. The connection from Uni to Internet is , obviously much slower and depends of local conditions and 3G standard.
Hope I could help.
Edit:
If I try to do the same over USB, then there is a problem. After connecting USB cable, my PC automatically goes into AS mode and syncs with my Uni. Then If in internet sharing I select USB and click "Connect" the syncing stops, AS in Uni shuts down (this is OK), but my PC try to install a new driver for new device and it does not find it, so it can not recognize my Uni as a proper gateway to connect with over USB. If it would install a driver then on Network connections list a new connection should show up, probably named as "USB network connection".
That’s the other reason I do not use it this way.
Show second and third post. Expain how to quit USB in AS to use this feature.
I will try this trroght BT, but (for me) via Cable is better, the pda is charging all the time. Via Bluetooth the battery goes down quickly.
People need help. I flashed my cingular 8125 with crossbow reloaded rom, its great but cannot seem to understand how to use internet connection sharing to get my laptop online. under network connections i can see that my phone is connected to the internet. but my laptop refuses to browse any site. i have winxp.

Check your firewall. In this mode, you are loged to a new network with different IP than your IP from your home network, if any. Using internet sharing your computer gets IP from your PPC. In my case it is 192.168.0.xx and the gateway is 192.168.0.1. It means that if your firewall was set to accept your home network with different IP, then you have to set it to accept this new IP as well. Oherways you will not get any comunication through this chanell. Of cource, this suggestion is valid only if you have any other firewall then Windows Defender.

I am using this in Vista. There is something named as Center for Windows Mobile Cervices. This is Vista version of AS. Here I do not need to quite USB and AS. Simply set Internet sharing option in your PPC for Bluetooth PAN and then click "Connect" in PPC. After that, click "Bluetooth Network Connection" in your Network Connections List in the PC. You will get the page with list of bluetooth access points. You should see your PPC device marked as the default device. Bellow you have "Connect" button. Click it and you are done.
By the way, the second and other posts describe the attempt to connect in the old way using modem connection. WM6 does not provide the modem support for PC connection. It means that officialy you can not use WM6 device as a modem like with WM5 or Symbian devices. However, HTC has released the modem driver for WinXP and Vista for new WM6 as an after market support. You can google for this on HTC pages. I never used this, cause this new way seems to me a lot easier. Also I never heard about anybody who succeeded with does drivers.
I use Windows Xp and the firewall is OFF
With the new WM6 rom of Ivan works for me

Hi, just checking, my O2 WM5 rom don't come with the "Internet Sharing" program.
May I know how to get it?
My current rom version is 1.30.107

modem

I would like to use my HTC Cruise as a modem.
So that it is possible that i have the internet on my laptop.
From my mobile.
I know that it is not usual to do this all the time. But for know it not working.
can somebody help me?
I'm french but plug the PDA on your PC with USB cable
And in program you must have a program internet share (I don't know if in english it is the good word)
Launch it and click on connect
I tried to find it,
but when I connect it to my pc with my usb cable. I only get the program to synchronise. Because it's Vista.
How do i find the internetconnection anywhere else?
this program is on the PPC start -> program
On Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 that you can download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx. It comes in both x64 and x86 flavors.
You also need to run the Internet Sharing application on your phone. On my unbranded HTC Touch Cruise there was no link to that application in Start/Programs. What you have to do, is to go into the Windows folder and run the IntShrUi.exe.
I'm not quite sure, but I think that it automatically creates a link for you in your Programs folder (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\). If it doesn't, you can do that yourself. The link should also be in the windows folder (IntShrUi.lnk) and you can just copy that manually to your Programs folder.
ovidiaconescu, I have an unbranded Cruise as well with the Stock ROM and had that icon in Programs. Don't remember doing anything to get it there.
Internet Sharing app is on the PPC. Here are directions, note that these are from someone else's post in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337714) I have put them here for convenience:
To set up your device as a USB modem
1. On your device, tap Start > Programs > Internet Sharing.
2. In the PC Connection list, select USB.
3. In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
4. Plug in the USB cable between your device and the computer.
5. Tap Connect.
To end the Internet connection
On the Internet Sharing screen, tap Disconnect.
To set up your device as a bluetooth modem
1. On your device, turn on Bluetooth and set it to visible mode.
2. Initiate a Bluetooth partnership from your device
3. Tap Start > Programs > Accessories > Internet Sharing.
4. Select Bluetooth PAN as the PC Connection.
5. From the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
6. Tap Connect.
7. On your computer, set up a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) with your device:
For Windows Vista:
a. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
b. Click Manage network connections and then under Personal Area Network, double-click Bluetooth Network Connection.
c. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
For Windows XP:
a. Tap Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
b. Under Personal Area Network, click the Bluetooth Network Connection icon.
c. Under Network Tasks, click View Bluetooth network devices.
d. In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select your device, then click Connect.
8. On the Internet Sharing screen on your device, check if a connected status is displayed, which indicates that your computer has been successfully connected to the Internet using your device as a Bluetooth modem.
Do you think it's possible to do the same kind of thing to access internet with an Archos 605 ??
Hi,
I succeeded to access internet by my WAP connexion mobile on my computer. But some website like gmail or hotmail are not reachable... Does someone have any idea?

Lame question, WMDC + I-net

Ok, here's the problem.
How to configure my connection, so when I connect my device to Windows Mobile Device Center it can connect to the internet. When I set the Internet Connection Sharing, my phone stops syncing, it's as if I haven't connected it, and it continues, until I remove the ICS. Bridge isn't working aswell. I need it, so I can download QuickGPS and Weather info.
right i think i know what you mean. You want to access the internet on ur device when it is synced yes?
DOnt use internet connection sharing on the device, that is if you want to use your device as a modem (so to speak) using the phone network as an internet connection for your computer.
What you need to do is in WMDC (active sync in my case as i have xp) settings, ensure that in the connection settings "this computer connects to the internet" is selected. You should then be able to get internet thru your computer on your device whilst still syncing.
Let me know how it goes as i dont have WMDC (i dont like vista.... yet)
I meant I used Internet Connection Sharing on my PC nework adapter, sharing with the "Mobile Device Network".
WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet", but it still doesn't connect.
it doesn't work for me too; WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet"

Internet Sharing, WMWifiRouter. They can't work?, Windows Vista the culprit?

Hello. I am having a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 WM6.1 Device. Recently, I've tried internet sharing via USB and it doesn't seem to work. My idea is to be able to have internet connection on my phone via USB that connects to my main computer that has ADSL connection.
After pressing 'Connect' is successfully connects but any internet usage I've made is via my EDGE connection, not ADSL.
According to Windows Vista Internet Sharing Center, my phone's network access is 'Local only' as apposed to my normal LAN connection which is 'Local and Internet'.
I've searched for a solution and I came to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 but it still does not work.
Apart from the problem of Internet Sharing, my WMWifiRouter can't seem to work also.
As far as I know, WMWifiRouter will need to have Internet Sharing to work first, so it's normal that it is not working. However, I found a rather interesting message whenever I connect the 'USB to WiFi' mode. A pop up box with the tile 'Pocket PC Networking' will say ' cannot obtain a server assigned ip address. try again later or enter an ip address in network settings'.
Can anyone share with me the proper IP address for WMWifiRouter on my PC and on my WM device?
Anyway, just to describe the problem I'm facing when I'm using WMWifiRouter.
1. I connect 'USB to WiFi', everything seems to work fine, the status is ready.
2. I can see my own network name on my laptop.
3. I click on it, and the message shows connected.
4. Tried to access the internet but it won't work.
So, the main problem now is...
1. There's something wrong with Vista causing any device that wants Internet Sharing to only connect to 'Local'
2. There's something wrong with my IP configuration.
Thank you all very, very much in advance for helping me out.
unless chainfire beats you to it and posts the answer here.. you can PM him
Alright, thank you very much for your suggestion!

[Q] Connecting PPC to internet via Computer???

I need to connect my PPC to internet via my computer (via USB cable or Bluetooth) can I do this?
Btw, Windows Mobile 6.1 is running on my device.
If i persume you mean you want to use the interenet from your phone on your computer then yes it's possible, "Internet Sharing" most WM phone have it built in.
If the opposite way you just use async or WMDC.
Yes, you guessed. My PC is connected to Internet but my mobile device isn't. So I need to connect my mobile device to the internet using my computer. I've tried WMDC but I couldn't find anyway to accomplish this
I found it, thank you!
Mobile Device Settings -> Change Connection Settings -> This computer is connected to -> Automatic
