DUN for wm5 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

hi all:
can anyone help me use DUN on WM5, am using explode's AKU 3.5 ROM.
everything working fine but no success to connect BA to laptop and use it as a modem.
any alternatives?, i have read explode's thread but no info. that would help.
is there a .cab file to fix this?
i hope someone has a fix for this.
thx

Active Sync?
Is the Active Sync on? Turn it off before you connect to the computer.

DUN isn't recommended on WM5 anymore. It has a much better system, usually called "internet connection sharing". It works much like ICS on a windows PC and is far better than DUN.
There is some info on this inside some of the discussions for the recent ROM releases. A search should find what you are after.

I think its not only recommended but its no more supported in AKU 2 or 3 - not sure which one but I read it in some of the msdn blogs.

AKU 3.2 and Bluetooth Modem?

I have Faria's AKU 3.2 RC1 ROM installed but I can no longer use the Wizard as a Bluetooth modem. I have sucessfully paired it with my XP laptop but I can't see any services the Wizard is offering. Previously with the official QTEK AKU 2 ROM and the RISidoro 2.26 ROM I could select the Serial communications service from the Wizard and I would get a Bluetooth modem installed on the PC.
I had a search on here and on Google and found these:

Neither of which has helped me.... This is for a plain old dial-up connection to a console port on a Cisco router, so no Internet connection, no PPP etc. Can this work with the AKU 3.2 ROM?
Anyd
send me this rom and i'll figure this problem out for u.

Thanks for that insight, I must admit I did find that after a bit more searching after I posted the thread.
It looks like what I want isn't possible via Bluetooth with AKU3 since there is no longer the ability to have a Bluetooth Modem. I am sure I would be able to get the internet sharing working but that isn't what I want to achieve - I want to open an asynchronous terminal session to a Cisco console port over a modem link.....
Ah well, it was a nice thought...
How do we influence Microsofts Developers to get this re-added since as a networking engineer this was a really useful tool to have?

One of the improvement of AKU3.x is that dial-up modem link is no longer supported. Instead, you should use BT PAN (BT networking) from your XP to connect to your phone and setup internet sharing on your phone to enable internet access for your PC.

MS is aware of the problem (there have been complaints everywhere; see for example http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423325 ) and, hopefully, they will fix it.

Depends. It has some good sides (some kind of BT PAN; decreased boot-in time etc) but the lack of BT DUN may be a real pain in the butt.

"Internet Share" I miss you!

I updated to Faria's AKU 3.2 and loved it........I do mean loved it! Then I started missing the calls and voicemails. I pressed on and reflashed everything............started missing calls again. I had so fell in love with the rom and the internet share. I finally with much regret had to go back to the 2.3. I miss the "Internet Share" feature that was on the 3.2. I am have to use my phone on my laptop quiet a good bit and you can understand how depressing this has been. I sure wish we had a working 3.2 or 2.3 with internet sharing. I know Faria's coming out with something.....praying and hoping in Cingular land.
yea that was a super cool feature.
Tomcat,
The 2.3/2.6 Roms have the same program. It is called something different in those ROMS, but still allows you to connect your phone to your PDA. The only difference between the two is that the 2.3/2.6 ROMS allow USB or IR connections while the 3.x+ roms add Bluetooth as an option.

now that i know what causes the phone to fail [a specific file] i have made some changes to aku3 roms,but i got no time to release yet.
The program is called "Modem Link" I just build a new media center pc and I didn't have any way of connecting it to the net so I was using that and it worked like a charm. I connected it through the USB, used this driver http://www.pdagold.com/files/articles/en/0000000269_HCxN12752.zip
Oh and Faria glad to hear your on top of the missed call issue, that and those cool looking crossbow icons are 2 things I'm really looking forward to, Godspeed
It's just not the same
Yes, I used the modem link before going to faria 3.2 and I have gone back to it now, but the two are not even in the same ballpark. With the "internet share" all I had to do was simply plug in my phone and bam! With the "modem link", I have to make sure my phone is now hooked to the internet (I have direct push activated). if I don't do this, it might take longer for the "link" to happen. I then have to dial in with the modem.....blah...blah....blah! As stated once you haave experienced the "internet share".................WOW!
True enough, it's a world of difference, I wonder how hard it would be to port internet share to AKU 2.3? actually scratch that, that's time better spent working on getting 3.2 working perfectly.
Modem Link and Internet Sharing both have their advantages and disadvantages. Please read the AKU3 Networking Bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282780 - in there, I'ce explained EVERYTHING about all these issues. (And please DO follow my articles...

Internet sharing driver

Hi
I Loaded the new MolzKi roM update aku 3.2 and love it, it works perfectly, but I see he has changed modem dial up to internet sharing
I am glad because modem dialup had a lot of problems
They main problem I am having is that windows XP requires a Driver for internet sharing and I don't have it, does anybody know where I can possibly get it? as I use the net on laptop a lot and need it asap
Thanks
Download the latest version of Activesync, or at least version 4.2. After you turn on Internet Sharing, connect the device to your computer.Then just open a browser and surf the web. There are no extra drivers or set up required. That's why we love aku 3.2.::: Posted from my Wizard :::

D810 and Mac OSX

Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting a d810 to sync up with osx? I have tried the latest missing sync demo but it doesn't seem to support the d810 (looks like it supports the 838). I have tried searching the forums with no luck.
Cheers

If the d810 is similar (which it is) to the htc trinity then it works quite well with missing sync for wm 3. It will install a small cab file called missing sync and it works flawlessly with address book and ical. It even syncs the pictures in address book. It worked on the first try. BUT (this might be your problem) some roms, if I remember correctly the old dopod rom with gps had a problem syncing. The solution I found is to go to Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check or uncheck (do a trial and error coz I forgot) "Enable advaced network functionality".
Thanks for the reply Aero. I'm currently at work and have been trying to do this through bluetooth with my macbook. I will try with the usb cable when I get home and hopefully it might work.....
Semir
yep...uncheck the option referred in the previous post. I have synced my XDA Orbit, MDA Vario and HTC p3600 no probs with Missing Sync for WM on my home imac. I always, however, do it via the usb cable from the phone direct to imac usb socket and not via a charge and sync cradle
I havea HTC 3600 and i use Missing sync and it work great!!
I finally managed to get it working with missing sync 3.02, even over bluetooth. Thanks for all the suggestions people.
Don't upgrade to WM6 coz current missing sync does not support WM6. Hope they get off their #$$ and fix it already.

Blue Angel, WM6, bluetooth GPS.....problem!!!

hi there,
I have a Blue Angel running stable on WM6 (CE OS 5.2.1933) and i'm having problems with my bluetooth GPS.
I can pair them , even running for a while with TomTom 7.916, after i close the program and try to reopen it, my bluetooth connection is lost...
I tried all the advised settings, but none work permanently.
I can't even check if my GPS device is still connected.
Never had this problem with WM2003....
Can anyone help please?
hi and welcome to the forum.
there are already threads that discuss this topic and although the solutions don't seem to work for everyone, i guess it could help you further.
one of those threads is to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476940
if nothing of that helps, you might want to change to rom, d-two for instance improved the gps support and his roms tend to work better with BT GPS. you can find all the recent roms in my thread in my signature (the "read first" one)
bluetooth connection
Thanx Chef
I've read almost all threats on this, but there is one thing i don't get.
In WM2003 you had to connect manually to a device if you wanted to use it's service, you then knew that the connection was there. In WM5 or later you only can assume that the connection is active sinds there is no option to connect to a device other then making a new connection. When i disconnect from my GPS I cannot connect to it again afterwards.
many thanx, I'll try your ROM tonight
Greetings
