I have been working on setting up Internet Sharing on my laptop(s) for a few days now and have searched and read through the forums to no avail. I need the USB Modem Driver for Win2K and XP (SP2 if it matters). I put the set up CD in and searched it, but it list drivers only for Vista (32 and 64 bit).
Does anyone know a solution for this or know how to get hold of these drivers?
Thanks for your help.

Can you not use Internet Connection Sharing?
If I knew how....
I could most likely use ICS if I knew how. When I plug the phone into the laptop it displays the found new hardware wizard, but no compatible driver for it to use. I have done a search on google, here on the forums and the MS website and am not able to locate the HTC USB Driver that is called for in the wireless modem section of the users guide.
I have seen some information about using ICS, but nothing to tell me how it works or what I need to do to get it to work. Is it a matter of installing Active Sync onto the laptops I want to use, then kick off ICS to access the web from the laptop?
Thanks,
Bobby
i too have been desperately searching for this. I can't seem to find anything. This laptop is my primary computer so it already has ActiveSync and the Tilt setup, but it won't recognize it once I switch the phone into "wireless modem" mode (where it deactivates the activesync functions)
Is this what your looking for?

I'm sure this has already been covered somewhere... but, did you search for the standard Internet Sharing app that was supposed to be on WM6 ROMS by default? I bought my Tilt 2 weeks ago, am on the stock ROM, and found the app hidden in \Windows and it works fine here. If you find it there just create a shortcut and place it in \Start\Programs or wherever you want.

i tried to use the internet connection share - but it wouldn't work either. it kept showing me the bubble (starting GPRS, Edge, 3G connection) and then eventually said "the remote party has ended the connection"
EDIT: never mind, got it to work! Had to change "Network Connection:" from "AT&T ISP" to "MEdia Net".
what am I missing
So to get this to work all that needs to be done.
connect phone to laptop (regardless of O/S Version) via USB cable
start ICS and you are off and running?
No driver install is needed on the laptop (including no activesync install needed), is that correct?
Thanks,
Bobby
Instruction for setting up Internet Connection Sharing
I was able to locate instructions on how to set this up on the Tilt (located in the HTC Tytn II users manual). I have included the section referring to this below so others who may want to know how can get it up and going.
Thanks,
Bobby
========================================================
10.9 Using Your Device as a Modem
(Internet Sharing)
Internet Sharing connects your PC or notebook computer to the Internet by using your device’s data connection (GPRS or EDGE, for instance). You can choose to connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Follow the procedure in this section to set up your device as a USB modem. To learn how to set up your device as a Bluetooth modem, see “Use the device as a Bluetooth modem” in this chapter.
Notes • Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and your device has a GPRS or phone dial-up modem connection. If your device has not been set up with a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on the Internet Sharing screen.
• If you want to use a USB cable connection, you must first install Windows Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.5 or later on the computer.
• Before using Internet Sharing, disconnect from Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer.
• On your computer, run 3gnetopt.exe from the Application Disc to optimize the connection speed between your device and computer.
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.
hope this helps someone
Hey guys, I usually try and post whenever I finally figure something out...I was getting the error message: Cannot Connect "the remote party has ended the connection" and from some of what I was reading it was because I was trying to use internet sharing with a mediamax $20 plan and I wouldn't be able to do that any longer because of something embedded in WM6 which told AT&T that I was tethering. Well my laptop is connected right now via usb through internet sharing on WM6 on my 8925/tilt and I have the $20 plan. I just checked my speeds and I am at 1485kb/s upload and 339kb/s (is that good?) seems much faster that wireless modem connection I used to use on 8525 w/ wm5. Internet sharing is the way to go. I am not exactly sure what fixed my problem--I did a few things and finally stopped getting the cannot connect: remote party...error. I first erased the user name and password under the connection settings ([email protected]) and left both fields blank. That didn't fix it like it did for some others that I read about so I did a power down and power back up (not sure if this is different than a reset with the stylus in the hole). Still wasn't fixed...On the internet sharing screen the second box under network connection I changed from "AT&T isp GPPRS" to "media net" and then connected and it worked. I don't think I need the username and password for anything because I can still browse on the phone without them--not sure why they were there. I haven't checked to see if I can internet share with the password and username reinserted...Hope that helps someone else out...don't give up it is possible to internet share through mediamax $20 with WM6...
Quick Fix For Those who couldn't figure it out
On your AT&T Tilt or (Possibly any Windows Mobile 6 Device)
Navigate to your "file explorer"
Step 1 (Locate the File Explorer) Not Internet Explorer
Start > Programs > Tools > File Explorer
(Possibly) Start > Programs > File Explorer
(Possibly) Start > File Explorer
Step 2 (Using File Explorer navigate to "My Device")
Then Locate the "Windows" Folder
Scroll all the way down to InternetSharing (Press the letter "I" to get you there faster)
Have your the device plugged into your computer and run that application and make sure these 2 options are selected:
PC Connection: USB
Network Connection: Media Net
Hit Connect
If it doesn't connect for you right away or gives an error message try this:
Unplug your phone from the computer
On the internet sharing application press Connect and immediately connect the USB cable.
Hope this works for others.
Have a data plan with at&t or you might be seeing some rather large charges on your internet bill.

Is that a USB RNDIS driver? As in no need for activesync?
I know it is possible, as I used usb-rndis-lite to use my kaiser as a modem on linux, but I never found anything that allowed me to share the conn via usb without activesync.
FYI, for those who do not have activesync for whatever reason, WMWiFiRouter will let you do it via WiFi.
The easiest way.
Just install the latest activesync.
If you don't want it syncing, no problem. Just right click on the activesync icon in your task bar, go to connection settings and uncheck allow USB connections. You'll still be able to use Internet Sharing but it won't try to sync every time.
After you have activesync on your computer you'll be able to use the Internet Sharing all you want. Just be sure you press connect on your device before you plug the usb cable in. Otherwise sometimes it won't connect.
Don't abuse it, or most likely your provider will slam you with tethering charges if it's very obvious you're using it. Assuming you don't have a tethering plan, of course.
Sometimes (eg on a corp laptop) you are not allowed to install activesync for example, but a driver would be OK - so it's always good to have alternatives.
Not so much of an issue now as WMWifiRouter is a more universal solution, but not all machines have wifi, so an RNDIS driver for USB would still be nice to have handy.
Been on T-Mobile web'n'walk (the basic one, not the tethered one) for over 6 months now, I use tethered mode on a daily basis, not had any complaints or charges yet. Mind you, I don't really hammer it, just web pages, ppc app downloads, a bit of youtube maybe. They could probably tell by looking at the browser IDs, but I doubt I am top of their list.
Even if they do hit me with the charge for the "Pro" version that allows tethering, it's only another £5 a month and I am on the lowest voice tariff anyway as I have an HTC original and not a subsidised phone.
WOW!!!! I can't believe this thread went as long as it did. Grats to DuMnUt101 and Evilc.. I wish I had my usb cable here with me so I could test the active sync part. Did this guy ever get it working?
The driver attached previously is not a ICS driver but a modem driver - you need to supply APN, username and password. Could possibly work, but when I run the EXE, it does not detect the phone as a modem.

Hi,
If you want to use internet sharing from HTC Modem via USB you just have to activate that functionality on the phone and then connect the USB cable to your PC.
Your windows will ask for drivers if you dont have ActiveSync4.5 installed (XP/NT2000/NT2003).
If you have ActiveSync already installed (this will install usb modem drivers you need) then you should have no problem with drivers and will be ready to use your mobile's shared internet.

Hi,
If you just want to use internet shared by your phone on your PC, you just have to install ActiveSync4.5 (this will install the usb modem drivers required).
This will set you ready to use the mobile's internet on your PC.
After this you can always get the drivers using "Device Manager".
Hope this is the answer you wanted!

I have used my 8525 as a wireless modem but I can't seem to get the Tilt to connect. Did HTC come out with new modem drivers or did the dial up connection settings change when we switched back to ATT? I'm using a Win XP laptop and trying to connect over USB. Can someone give me a step by step process?
Thanks
yeah i'm lookn to see how to enable dun
Search around more for "Internet Sharing" for more information, there have been a few posts about it.
To use your cellular data connection for PC internet most people seem to use the included (but semi hidden Internet Sharing application).
It's located in the windows folder called "Internet Sharing". If you run it it's pretty clear how to get it up and running. The stock version works for USB or Bluetooth PAN connections to a PC. If you follow the instructions in the thread here you can supposedly set it up to use it as an adhoc Wifi access point. Haven't tried it myself so can't vouch for that one.
Basically you run the program, select your PC connection type, select Media Net and boom you're connected.
I am having the same problem connecting via a USB cord. Unfortunately I do not have an installation CD to update the modem drivers either. The drivers Windows is using may be from my 8525(which I got to work as a modem). I tried using Internet sharing from the windows folder but it does not help. The furthest I have gotten is a yellow light in the first box.
If anyone happens to have a link to the modem driver, please post it so I can keep hacking away. I'll post a solution if I can ever figure this out.
Tilt as a wireless modem
The easy way is to open File Explorer, go to the Windows directory and look for a file called "Internet Shar....". Press and hold on it and select Copy. The go to Windows>Start Menu>Programs and Paste it in here. Now it will be a selectable program in your Programs menu. Start the program while connected via USB to your laptop and hit "Connect" on the lower left side of the screen. Worked like a charm for me.

Can't tehter USB with Internet Sharing
Hi guys: I have an AT&T rom without the bloatware. I have also Blackberry Connect unlimited plan as my email solution. I haven't been able to tether via usb with my laptop using Internet Sharing. I get the message: check usb cable and then neither of the 3 data connections (Medianet, AT&T GSPR and Blackberry) can connect. I get the message: the other party disconnected the connection. I would appreciate any help I can get. I really need to tether through my laptop. Thanks!
htc modem
i have my phone hooked up as a modem and everytime i disconnect, some of my programs dont work. then my text messages dont go through and i have to reset my phone then they come through on my sim card. can someone tell me what is going on?
I'm sure you need to start a whole new thread for this.
On the Internet sharing do you choose - ATT ISP GPRS or MediaNet ?
I used MediaNet and it worked, but you have to turn off USB connections in ActiveSync. It will interfere.
I have an AT&T Tilt running its original ROM. Is there a way to change the Comm Manager to have a shortcut to Internet Sharing instead of Wireless Modem? I replaced the Comm Manager with a nice touch style one, but it still shows Wireless Modem, so I assume there is somewhere in the registry which tells Windows which one to use by default for this type of task. Does anyone know how to change it?
Bump...It's been awhile since this question was asked and I'm looking for the same thing. Anyone have any ideas yet?
Has anyone found a way?
where is Internet Sharing?
I'd like to give ICS a try instead of using wireless modem.
I have the original ROM. Where should I find Internet Connection Sharing?
I've looked in Start > Programs, and it's not there. If it is not on my phone, can I add it?
Thanks, Bren

If its not there, its hidden in your My Device/Windows directory. Its there, you just gotta look. On mine its called Internet Sharing. You can then create a shortcut to it and place it in your programs or start menu.

Internet Connection Sharing
Thanks for your responses to my post. I did find the app in my Windows folder. It's called IntShrUI.exe. I pasted a shortcut of it into my Start Menu > Programs folder. I haven't been able to figure out how to configure my PC to make it work.
I've been researching in the forums how to configure a PC to use the internet connection of my phone. My PC doesn't have Bluetooth, so I would like to use the USB connection. Most of the postings are how to configure for Bluetooth.
If you know where to find a good explanation, please post the link for me. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I want to use the phone as a back up connection if my cable connection goes down.
I have been successful using my phone with AT&T connection manager on my computer, but I have a problem with that. I have Virtual PC installed on my computer, and the network configuration of Virtual PC doesn't recognize the AT&T Connection Manager as a network card, so my VPC doesn't have access to the internet through my phone.
I'm hoping that with Internet Connection Sharing, the network adapter on my PC will still be used, and access the Internet through the gateway on my phone.
Thanks, Bren

There are 2 ways to get it working over USB. Either get the USB modem drivers working, (Which I have never been able to do) or use windows dial up networking. I have connected my Tilt to the AT&T 3G data network with the Windows xp Professional DUN interface. When I get home I'll copy my DUN settings and post them here. Its the same settings I used to use to teather my Motorola V551 for data. I accidentally clicked on DUN a few weeks ago while the Tilt was connected and it worked with the same settings.
Of course, I do have a USB Bluetooth dongle, and getting ICS working is easiest with BT. All you have to do for that is set up a pairing between the 2 devices, and create a BT Personal Area Network.
-Jay
I got it working
Thanks, Jay.
I pieced together information I found about ICS, and I got it working. It works with my Virtual PC because Windows XP puts a Network Connection in the Network Connections folder that I can use to create a Virtual Network in the VPC configurations.
When my phone is connected to my computer via USB, and I open Internet Connection Sharing app on the phone, and then connect to the phone's data network, the Network Connection is automatically created in XP.
I'm not sure what was missing, but when I tried this earlier on my laptop, it didn't successfully automatically install the Generic RDNIS driver that my desktop did successfully install. I'm going to try it again on my laptop. On my laptop, I do have bluetooth, and I will try to get that working instead of USB.
I'm wondering, is there any advantage to using AT&Ts Communication Manager instead of Internet Connection Sharing?
Thanks again for your response.

I would think that the advantage is that they then know for a fact you are teathering, and can be exxxxtra sure you are being "properly billed" on an "appropriate" data plan that probably costs at least $60/mo

Ok, I found the Cingular / AT&T DUN settings on my computer.
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1 (This is case sensitive!!!)
Number to Dial: *99***3#
I also always max out the port speed in the modem configuration so the port doesn't restrict a nice fast HSDPA connection.
This will work for Bluetooth or USB modem connections.

You want to connect to the internet through your home pc via usb/BT?
You might want to try this.. I'm not SURE, just offering a suggestion.. someone can confirm/bunk this either way..
Start|Settings|Connections|Connections
One of the settings there might work for you,
If not.. theres a Little blue Question mark in the top right that actually has some pretty in depth info..
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, but it's a start.
Is ActiveSync actually working for you? I mean... is your Kaiser synching with your PC?
If activesync is working fine, try this on your PC (not on your Kaiser).
Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Create a new DWORD data type called "AllowLSP" and set it to 0
Plug your Kaiser again and let me know if it worked.

if i'm reading right you want to use internet sharing using usb or bluetooth and browse the internet using your PC?? is it?
1.first open setting in your active sync then uncheck allow the usb connection .
2.plug in the usb cable to ur pc and kaiser
3.open the internet sharing in your kaiser end select conection typ usb or bluetooth.
4.connect. (your computer will be installing rds driver automaticcaly)
5.then you'll have a gprs internet trough your pc
note you must have gprs/3g connection available in ur network.
in ur pc in the internet connection option makesure you select direct connection if you use firefox/opera.
Hope this solve your problem.

You are wanting to browse IE on your phone using the Activesync usb or BT connection (phone uses PC's internet connection for data) am I correct in thinking that?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'No comm ports available' as your WM device connects via USB?
Sorry if these steps may seem a bit condecending but best to check all.
1, Has your PC got a working internet connection (can you browse IE on your PC) ?
2, Is Activesync actually working (your contacts and mail are sync'ed) ?
3, In connection settings on Activesync (PC) you need 'Allow wireless connection' unchecked (Checked for tethering, PC goes through phone 3G) or phone will try to go through any data connections of its own first.
4, On your WM device under 'Settings' 'Connections' 'USB to PC, check the 'Enable advanced network functionality'
Hope this helps.
I have a similar query, I can use my PC's internet connection from home, but when I connect to my work PC it does not. Now I know this is down to the fact that my Work PC uses a proxy server, but how do I add this info in to my Tytn2.
Hi Farsquidge,
I have followed your steps above, but when I try to connect to IE on my device, I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."

Your welcome.
Is your device an 'out of the box' HTC device that was not bound to a carrier contract? Some carrier (ie. AT&T Vodaphone) seem to have settings within the ROM (seen in other threads) that tie you in to only using their settings (ie Media.net) and using a proxy that cannot be changed for IE only for GPRS connections.
Anyone got ideas on this one.
Unfortunately, Orange UK got their hands on my TyTN2 before I did! Perhaps that's the source of my problems?

Are Orange UK (I am from UK but living abroad now) still wanting to promote their own Internet?
I know only last year a pal of mine said he could not connect his Nokia through his home WiFi because it would not connect via his BT Internet.
Check if you have a proxy connection set up on your GPRS cause ya never know!!!
I can connect to any Wifi network and access webpages without problems. Doesn't seem that there are any restrictions from that point of view. Thanks for the help - guess it's not really a problem not having Internet access via ActiveSync, as it connects to the Wifi network.
i guess i shoulda been more specific.
i wanted to browse the internet on my kaiser, using the active sync connection. however it wasnt working, but now ive re-installed opera and it works with that, not sure if it works with IE yet.

If your PC is "seeing" your device but Activesync is not:
Make sure that you are running Activesync 4.5.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
Check your Activesync Connection Settings (File>Connections I think) and make sure that Allow USB Connections is selected.
Disable your firewall on your PC, if you can connect then, you need to enter exceptions in AS to get past this restriction.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.
I had a similar problem once. Turned out is was my own fault.
I had manually disabled the network connection Activesync needs to detect the Kaiser. This might be relevant for your issue:
On your computer goto 'Network Connections' (via 'Control Panel', assuming you have XP)
Connect the Kaiser to the computer
Enable the disabled network connection
You might want to switch to 'Tiles' view. The third line will read 'Windows mobile-based device'. That network connection needs to be enabled.
Good luck!

1.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.
AND THEN THIS :
2.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
THAAAANKS !
OK I tried everything and cannot sync with my corporate PC work (XP with SP2).
I cannot get a local network LAN address on the Tilt regardless if I use NDIS or not and regardless if I provide the DNS server address or not it insists on its default mobile IP.
Funny enough "My Mobile" works through "Connect IP" to the default IP address 169.254.2.1
I tried almost all settings and nothing worked. On top I contacted MS just to receive a hotfix for the USB-2-NDIS drivers which didn't work either.
ANY idea anybody?
I also get the mysterious 80072EFD error from activesync 4.5.
PS: At home I can sync with the company server over the internet connected to my W2K SP4 workstation without any problem.
See attached screenshots
hmm my laptop recognizes my phone...its says its connected..but it just wont sync any ideas why>?
running vista btw

I had a similar problem once. Turned out is was my own fault.
I had manually disabled the network connection Activesync needs to detect the Kaiser. This might be relevant for your issue:
On your computer goto 'Network Connections' (via 'Control Panel', assuming you have XP)
Connect the Kaiser to the computer
Enable the disabled network connection
You might want to switch to 'Tiles' view. The third line will read 'Windows mobile-based device'. That network connection needs to be enabled.
Good luck!

This was my problem as well. I had disabled the network connection, but could not find it any more in Network Connections (on my PC). I ended up having to run the ActiveSync installer msi and telling it to repair. That fixed things nicely.

Same hint helped me to to uncheck the tab for the "advanced network functionality". No clue why.

I had that problem until I installed a flashy new NEC PCI USB 2.0 Adapter card in my PC and stopped using my motherboards onboard VIA (Appolo Pro chipset) USB 1.1 ports. The Activesync 4.5 connections are now far more reliable and I can connect both with or without advanced networking functionality ticked. It looks as if the type/quality of USB port in the PC has alot to do with things.
Now the remaining annoying issue with AS 4.5 I have is that when transferring large wmv files to my TyTN IIs storage card (or even internal memory), the progress bar that appears to indicate the file is transferring never gets to the far right side but always resets back to the beginning (sometimes several times when part way along during the transfer). Is this behaviour which other users of Kaisers connected to Win XP machines have observed? Can anyone throw some light on what's going on to cause this?
transferring large files/data fails

That's actually a known issue with USB. A std. USB driver connection through AS (regardless what version) will time out after 4 something seconds which may not be enough to write a file to your device/storage card. Best money I ever spent was for Softick Card Export II. It gives you the possibility to either active sync or "card export" data. Card export will enable your storage card as removable drive (just like with a card reader) an you can copy all data you want. Kinda slow but reliable. I just transferred 5 MP3 CD's on my storage card without any problems.

Thanks for the tip with that software. I'm not that concerned that I'm willing to fork out money though Just to clarify things, the files do still get across without any problem or failure (and no Activesync disconnects now), it's just the progress bar doesn't correctly indicate whats going on. FWIW the progress bar progresses for far more than 4 seconds before resetting back to the beginning probably 30 seconds or so but I've not timed it. Have you, tyguy, or other users, observed this behaviour with the Kaiser under XP or does the progress bar behave itself for everyone else?
My process bar fluctuates all over the place. Indicating 30 secs, 4 min, back to 20 secs guess it's as accurate as an hourglas, nice animation though - LOL
thanks
thanks this Worked for me on HD2.
I read somewhere you can use the diamond as a modem for a laptop, but i cant seem to get it working. Also i cant find any setting for this.
Has anybody experience with this?? please advice
Well, I don't know about a modem per se, but if you want to use your phone's internet connection to connect to the Internet from your PC, do the following:
Before connecting the Diamond to your PC, start the "Internet Sharing" app (located in Start - Programs). You can select Bluetooth for your PC connection, but it will drain the battery on your phone in NO TIME. Select USB, and then select the network connection you use to connect to the Internet on the phone itself (the default will usually suffice), and then click Connect. This will start the app, at which point you can plug it into your PC and your PC should do the rest.
I use as a modem regularly. I have not found the need to start Internet Sharing before connection....just connect in the normal way, letting ActiveSync do its thing as you have told it to. Just watch after you have finished that the link drops...I forgot once and it cost me! I use MoDaCo Nodata to prevent any unwanted connections. You can also set long-prees-end-key to kill the connection.

diamond as a modem
i would like, for instance, to replace my home internet connection by using the ''diamond'' as a modem, but it gets so hot after few hours. there is some space for development there and its worth it.
PS. asus p750 do better
I would like to know how i can use the device as a modem to send a fax via my laptop?

you can't do much about this other than NOT letting for 3+G at all.
