Internet connection sharing via wifi for ipod touch

I have tried to setup ICS via wifi such that I can connect with my Ipod Touch and browse using Safari. I have managed to set up the ad-hoc network such that my Ipod connects to the HTC TYTN II but when I launce 'Safari' on the Ipod I get a 'Server Not Found' error. Has anybody managed to do this yet, any instructions?
Cheers Guys

Not with an IPOD touch, but someone posted recently about the registery tweaks you need to make to share ICS over wifi instead of BT.

Yea, seen that thanks, as I say I can connect via wifi to my phone from my Ipod but Ipod won't surf (shouldn't be a problem because I can use the Ipod to surf at home via my wifi router).
Somebody has done this in another forum but using a different HTC phone...

maybe this http://www.pyrofersprojects.com/3gipod/3gipod.html will help you

ICS doesn't share over wifi unless you make changes to the registry and set IP addresses for both the Kaiser and the client device (Ipod).
Are you running ICS on the device? Simply making an adhoc wifi connection between them doesn't share the web.

Tried this also but I get "server can't be found" on the ipod when I run Safari.
I would love to get this working so any help is gratefully recieved

Did you try the IP address change and reg tweaking to share ics over wifi instead of bt (and then turn on ICS and connect it) before connecting with your device?

Yea, I tried all that and got a wifi connection between the HTC and the Ipod but I launch Safari I get a 'can't find server' dialogue. I know this can be done but am getting a little frustrated now.

S730-Notebook with Vista-No internet

I have a notebook, with MS Vista, and with mobile internet (pcmcia card). A tried to connect internet via s730 through mobile device center, but i can't.
I tried with WI-FI: connect to my notebook (ad hoc connection) but i can't use internet.
I tried it with free hotspot and it works.
I don't understand. What can i do?

How are you trying to get online?
You want the s730 do connect to your data network and share that? Or do you want to dial it into the internet (someone got that working on here) or are you connected through your notebook already and want to share that to your s730?

I've never been able to get this to work, I don't even know if you can or not.

I am confused.
Do you want your s730 to get on the Internet by connecting to your laptop? Can you just use a usb cable then you can use internet connection through laptop onto phone.

If I understand you correctly your laptop is what is online and you want it to pass the connection onto your phone through the wifi?
If thats the case that you just need to enable ICS on your laptop. It will be under your menu settings, I havnt messed around with vista's network settings so I cannot tell you quite what it looks like. Possibly a check box or a protocol to install. But once you install Internet Connection Sharing your computer should pass the connection out.

I have this working on my machine with my 730. Often you might need to repair the network connection to your phone from the network connection control panel as it sometimes loses it's IP address.
I also found that I needed to do some work in OneCare which I use as an AntiVirus and Firewall as this was blocking access to the Mobile Device Center.
hope this helps

Using PC's internet on PPC

Hi,
I have Windows Vista and use Windows Mobile Device Center to connect to my TyTN II using USB. Can I use my PC's internet via USB on my PPC?
I was also thinking of turning my PC into WiFi access point so that my Kaiser could connect to it using Wifi
Any ideas
Thanks

As long as you are connected through activesync (sorry WMDC) you can use your PC's internet on your phone. As for your second question you should just get a wireless router if you want wi fi for your kaiser.

Thanks for the quick response.

But that never seems to work ... it used to work with activesync on Windows XP on my home PC but not on my laptop with Windows Vista.

Hmmmm... I have been using Wifi on Kaiser without a problem. I was just thinking if I could use my Laptop as access point so that my Kaiser could connect to it over wireless connection... Or any other idea for internet connection sharing (of PC for PPC).
Yasir

anyone? ...

You want to keep your laptop on to use it as a Wifi AP for your kaiser?? Might as well use your laptop already and not ruin your eyes.

Haha... yeah right... actually I was a bit unclear in my statment.. let me try to put it a little differently..
laptop uses internet via LAN cable... I want to share that internet with Kaiser over Wireless ... is it possible... (now that's more of a PC related question that Kaiser, so I have a Kaiser related question too)..
I can't use internet via WMDC on Vista ... what could be the possible reason?

Yes, but for that you need to have your laptop powered on... his point was that if your laptop is on you might as well use the net on it rather than on the obviously much less comfortable phone.

I never tried it, but could be possible by making a ad-hoc wireless network on your laptop, and making your laptop a gateway.

There are settings hidden away that need ticking for sharing the internet connection of the PC, although I thought they defaulted to "on". I'm not sure, I haven't touched a vista machine in months!
Ad-hoc wifi would be the way to go, but good luck getting it working; it's a royal pain in the arse half the time, and for the rest it works like magic. Depends on the devices.
If you're browsing on your phone I hope you've got a copy of Opera Mini; using wifi my phone can nearly outpace my PC at browsing the net.

Open wmdc
choose mobile device settings >> Connection settings
Set: " this computer is connected to" to either "automatic" or "the internet"
That should do it.

Hi...
It's already set to "automatic" and changing to "internet" didn't work either..
thanks for the suggestion on wifi adhoc..i'll try to find more about it...

Hi,
I was wondering if it is posible to share the Pcs internet with the Kaiser with a Bluetooth set up?

WIFI ROuter Possibe on Raph? WMFI from 8525?

Did anyone get WMFI router to work on the Raphel? I have a 8525 with this and it turns the phone into a wireless any computer can connect to via wireless. I just got my new Raphel, aNT TRIED THE WMFI cab. It loads, but it keeps droping the connection. Any thoughts?

WMWifirouter works for me

My wifi router works great. I use it alot with my ipod touch for remote support (i'm in IT) since the screen is larger and I am often on the call with the person.

Depending on the version, you may have to change the battery settings so that they are disabled. That could be your problem.

you need to have the .NET 3.5 for it to work correctly, that might help.

I can vouch for it working on the raphael also. I get surprisingly good battery life with it also. Much better than on my tilt.

My HD connects to my Fuze on WMWifirouter but cant connect to the internet, keeps trying to dial out to wap.cingular. what gives?

Activesync and WIFIrouter! Need solutions

Hi folks, just got my diamond almost a week ago and I already filled it up with applications, absolutely love it's wide area of functions. I came across a great idea that i could use at work: to connect the phone through activesync(that will give me internet on the phone from the computer) and then to use wifirouter app to further share this internet connection. But I couldn't get this working, because wifirouter accesses my gsm/3g internet on the phone instead of the internet obtained from the computer through activesync. Anyone got an idea how to get this working?

when u connect your phone with usb u can choose : shared internet connection. maybe then it will works dnoo

I don't think you understood, I need internet forwarding from pc to phone firstly, which I managed to do already with activesync, but I also want wifirouter application to recognize the internet being sent from the pc through activesync and not connect to edge/3g.

I think u need to setup your wifi router again this time dont set it to gprs/3g select usb to wifi. That shld work it

The wifirouter application doesnt give me any options, it just initializes and thats it.

can anyone help?

Using the USB to Wifi mode should work in this instance. That is if you're using one of the paid versions as I'm not sure if the free version supported this.
