i ve managed to make an adhoc network over wifi ,and my laptop and kaiser could see each other. i couldnt find an option on how to share the gprs connection from the kaiser to the laptop though.
also, can i sync over wifi as well?
bluetooth and infrared are not available on my laptop.
i can share net fine over usb, i am doing this atm, but because i had to drive back to pick my cable, i will like to know how to do that over wifi.
thanks in advance.
Internet Connection Sharing app in your programs folder is the way to share it.
But you need to tweak it or download wmwifirouter to use WIFI.
Similarly you need to do some tweaking to sync over wifi.

You got it unwired4.
I am looking into putting a generic internet connection on the Internet sharing selection pulldown. The new Sharing facility uses the new WM6 calls but I am sure you can hook this proto to the base TCPIP connection you have running at the time.
Will keep you informed.

Can you please tell me what is the tweak to sync over wifi?
Ok, so I have Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19700 on my tilt. now I have the unlimited pda plan on my phone also. I tried connecting to the vpn at my office, but the built in vpn client does not support group authentication, so I am now using Bluefire VPN client. I had it working last week after screwing around with the settings for a day or so. I saw that dutty had a diamond rom out, so I flashed with it and didn't like it so much (dutty does a great job and I'm sure he'll make it perfect at some point), so I flashed back. Now no matter how much I try, I cannot get bluefire vpn to connect to my vpn. it keeps giving me an error about failing to establish a tunnel. I tried having it connect through 'media net' and 'my isp'. I can't remember what the heck I did to have it connect before. I remember reading a thread about what the default at&t media net and isp settings were and I applied those, but they seemed to be the same as what were originally there anyway. I know my vpn settings for the office are correct. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
I got rid of my ISP , and now I am using T-Mobile Total Internet (with Internet Sharing) to tether it to my Laptop/Desktop. So far so good, right?
Wrong! I do not complain about the speeds that I am getting; I only complain about the fact that I cannot connect to my office VPN.
It seems that we need a 'real' IP address rather than the local NAT address that our PC is assigned with Internet Sharing. I found out that we could get a real IP address (i.e. if T-mobile actually provides it) by using our Kaiser as an actual USB modem. This was previously possible in WM6 by using a utility called WModem, which does not seem to work with WM6.1.
So, I would be very grateful if anyone has an answer to these,
1. Is it possible to use Kaiser as a USB Modem in WM6.1?
2. Is it possible to make WModem or a similar utility run on WM6.1?
3. Is it possible to obtain a real IP address with Internet sharing?
4. Is it possible to connect to VPN by any other means?
Comments on this issue are appreciated. Btw, I am using L26 V12 ROM, and I love it. I am not ready to part with it to downgrade to WM6, to make all of this work.

Hi,i have a HTC Touch Pro,i dont know the Slingplayer can work on the TP?Or it only work on the Sprint TP and ATT Fuze?Because I try to install the sling but it ask me the IP number,Port number and ID Finder.....I dont know where is it?Can sombody help me?And show me how to play it on the Touch Pro.Thanks...
yes it does work on the touch pro.
what i would do is this,
from your home computer (or any pc you have slingplayer installed) go to your slingbox configuration and copy and paste the Slingbox ID into a text file.
Then copy the text file to your devices storage card.
Open the file on your device and copy and paste it to slingplayer on your touch pro, enter your password and you are good to go
Save the file to your storage card incase you flash your rom in the future and have to reinstall again.
It works great...I also use the above method for brining over my slinbox id...except I have it as a note in outlook...that way after a hard reset it is synced over since I use Blackberry Connect...
Didn't work for me ...
That's funny as I couldn't get the slingplayer mobile app to work on my Fuze. I was even on the phone with their support goup and they couldn't do anything. Of course, they suggested that the phone wasn't on the supported devices list so this was their response when we couldn't get it working.
I'll try following the steps suggested above to see if if works for me. Simply putting the slingplayer mobile app on the phone and launching while synched didn't work.
EDIT: I followed the instructions mentioned above and the player launches. But it doesn't connect. Error = "Unable to connect to Slingbox". The Slingbox Alias is the same as on my laptop, as is the Finder ID. I have the "Use Admin Login" selected with the password. I have a non-traditional internet service where I am and I won't bore you with all the details, but if my laptop is able to connect and watch via the Slingplayer inside my home then I would expect the Fuze to be able to do the same via a wi-fi connection. But it's not working.
EDIT2: It's working now. I believe it was because I was logged onto the Slingplayer via Admin on the laptop and it wouldn't connect on the phone. Once I logged off the laptop and retried the Fuze, it was working. Sweet!
EDIT3: Sweet ... However, streaming image is pretty choppy. Don't recall this on the Tilt.
well if you put in the settings correctly there shouldn't be a problem. However, where are you trying this from. I know if i try to run it while synced with my computer at work, it won't locate properly due to the port being blocked. off of 3g it works just fine.

Are you running the Stock ROM? Because I upgraded to the fuze as well and didn't have those problems. Well at first I did when I was running the stock ROM. Afterwards I flash a Cooked ROM and it was much better. I believe AT&T does something to stop the stream because when I stream now using my Fuze via media net it will stop after about 2-3 min. and say signal is weak but I will have full Bars.

I'm using a cooked ROM (NATF v2.1). I wasn't sure if I was missing some streaming setting or something on the phone app, but it's definitely not smooth of crisp.
Any suggestions?
From the way the original question was asked, I kind of get the feeling that the OP thinks SlingPlayer is a standalone program and doesn't have a SlingBox.
Make sure you have proxies turned off... I think AT&T locked that feature on the stock ROM, but if you are using a cooked ROM then you can disable the proxy and all is well.
I have tried every possible combination and still yet to get my slingbox to run on 3g. Via wireless, everything is great, but each time I try via 3g I get the connections settings are wrong dialog box. On my old 8525, I had my slingbox working perfectly under My ISP (as opposed to wap settings), but I couldn't get those settings to work with my Fuze. Any suggestions? Still running stock rom.
Tony
I'm new to slingbox, but it's working for me. Try going back into setup using the same computer you installed it with. Rerun setup and make sure you enable internet access.
Yes it is properly set up as I can watch it via wireless connection, it's just I cannot get the 3g to work. MEdiaNet didn't work on my 8525 and I set up a new internet connection named "My ISP" which was not based on WAP settings. My slingplayer works perfectly via wifi.

Again, I'm new to SB, but I believe that when you watch it via wifi you are connecting locally, not through the internet. Internet viewing has to be specifically enabled. I had the same issue (after clearing proxy's on the phone) and rerunning setup on the SB and enabling internet sharing worked for me.
Just my .015
Long time Slingbox user - also having the same problem.
Details: Fuze with Elite Rom, Proxy off
Wifi works (both local wifi and remote wifi from office), 3g does not.
I can swap SIM card and it runs fine on 8525 with 3g, but Fuze will not connect unless running on Wifi.
So I can't help you, but at least you're not the only one with the problem!
Fuze with stock rom, proxy's cleared. Works for me.
I'm with Zachoo, I can watch via 3g or wifi on my 8525 to my Slingbox at home, but when I try to use my Fuze, only wifi works. When I try to use 3g I get the box saying cannot connect because my settings are incorrect. When you say to clear proxies, are you refering to Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy Manager>Diable Proxy or Restore Proxy ? Thanks for all your suggestions, but since my SB works on other phones, but not mine, I am sure the SB settings are correct.
check into NAFT rom thread, he has 3 diff .cab files to remove hidden att&t proxies, then it should run like my fuze.
ps: slingmedia really sux in fuze, can't get more than 15fps...

Just a word of caution about setting up Slingbox.... periodically, it seems to lose its router settings and need to be reconfigured for access over the internet. During these times, wifi access at home will continue to work. I have had this happen several times now.

Also, the slingbox listens on port 5001 on your home network so you'll need to open that port on your firewall or use a UPNP firewall.
I was able to install mine on my stock ATT ROM without changing any proxies that I am aware of. I am using the fully qualified domain name of my home network rather than the sling player ID number. If you're using a DynDNS like thing you may try FQDN instead.
Good luck..
New version out.

Go get it guys.
Sorry for those who wanted it of me earlier, I was not allowed to.
My Problem is the following:
I have my Diamond, which I use for work purposes, and my work Mobile subscription does not have Internet access.
However, I do have a private Mobile subsciption WITH internet access, which I have installed in a different (Nokia3109) Phone
The Internet works in the Phone, I can also use it as modem for my Laptop thru Bluetooth (works fine with the *99# and connection string I have setup)
NOW... I also want to use it as Bluetooth modem for my Diamond... problem (I think) is that in Windows Mobile 6.1, I can not configure the connection string anywhere. I have paired it already through bluetooth, Bluetooth services says indeed that I have Dialup Modem service, and it is also shown in the connection setup (I can select Bluetooth Modem as device)
For settings I use *99# as number, username password I have, but I cannot connect.
I DO know the connection string, which I have also used for my laptop... but don't know where to put it!!
can anyone help me in this?
some info on the Diamond:
ROM: Touch-IT v.41
CE OS5.2.21042
Windows Mobile 6.1
Thanks in advance,
Gordon
You have to add manually a STRING parameter named "3" into
HKLM/Drivers/Unimodem/Init
This is a place where you put your modem initialization string.
Usually it looks like
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN of your provider"<cr>
It should be ok then
Thanks for the tip.
It did not work however, I think the bluetooth connection was not very well...
I reflshed my ROM and tried again... now it work (although partly only...)
I can now update the weather and the stock information easily, but Windows Live Messenger, email or Webpages give errors of not being able to connect.
(e.g. with Internet Explorer, the Status bar first says connecting, then Locating, and that is where it stops (after a while) and gives the message it cannot find a page.
Do you maybe also have an answer for that?
thanks in advance,
Gordon
