Hi!
I'm having trouble using my tytn II as a modem in windows vista. I had no problems in windows xp but since i installed windows vista and use internet sharing application this is what happens:
I get connected and a new networkadapter (NDIS) is detected
I recieve a local ip-adress of 169.xxx...
This is making me crazy and i've searched the forum without beeing able to find anyone with the same problem...what am i doing wrong??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I understand, you use it with USB cable, may be using it with Bluetooth will be better, because in this case Windows will recognize it as a modem.
Please provide some more information about how did you make the configuration.
Did you make it as it was described in the user guide?
Hi!
I did make the configuration exactly as the manual describes it and my device is syncing correctly and everything. It even installs as a network driver when i use the internet sharing application. But it just wont give me an ip-address...
I've had this issue for over a month now and it feels like vista is blocking the service or something, but i just cant figure it out...
PLEASE advise!
I have the same Problem as you !
As a matter of fact, I have an ip but vista says that I'm connected to local network but not to the Internet.
But at the same time I have an illimited data plan that runs perfectly when using Pocket ie...
Still searching for a solution...
But i'm sure it comes from vista...

No problems!
Hi guys.
Ive used this feature with vista with no problems at all..
Just turned internet sharing on and it connected to the network connection then vista aked me what kind of network it was (Home, Work Place etc) and hey presto it worked.
Mine is a T-Mobile Vario iii btw.
Never really had a problem either though it's much too slow compared to a "real" USB-3G/HDSPA-modem. (I max out at 1.2-1.8 mbit/s but when I use my dedicated modem I easilly reach 4 mbit/s)

Yeah this is killing me! I get the same as you, i get a IP-address but its a local one 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and vista says its a local ip-address...
I've started looking for services that may be stopped and such in Vista, but i still cant get it to work
I also can't get it to work, so if my WiFi goes out and i need internet, i just reboot to XP... Obviously not a solution, it's very annoying. I'd love to figure this out. I think my friend said he got it working, i should get details from him!

Guys, this is not the solution, BUT, until someone finds it, this is a awesome way to get around the problem! Just install the application, start it and tap connect. Now on your computer you'll find a new adhoc network using wifi, connect to it and your ready to go!

Hi
I am trying to set up my O2 XDA Stellar to act as a modem for the laptop, although all the information I have seen in groups indicates that to be able to do this I need to use the "Wireless Modem" application within the programs menu, although it isn't listed. I have also tried to use "Internet Sharing" but this doesn't work either.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Hi mate
You can use the Internet Sharing program to 'share' your internet connection with your PC. You need to connect it up using the USB cable and away you go.

I was trying for ages to get this working, then I read the phone manual and found out that activesync had to be installed - that will teach me to go steaming off in the wrong direction!
Now it works fine.
Thanks
i am new to this but i have followed all the guides to sync my phone to my vista pc but none of them are succesfull i have re installed windows mobile device centre i have unchecked the box in usb connections i have also tried it on my work pc but nothing happens it makes the noise when you plug it in/out i have tried soft reset several times i dont want to do a hard reset if i can help it!!!the computer recognises the htc phone in device manager and! it says device is working but no active sync???
i have xp and never had problems with activesync. But i do believe that you need to keep the box for "allow usb connections" checked for windows to recogonize your device. check the link below and see if following the instructions there help you out:

also i did some "searching for you" (your welcome i had some free time ) and found this under the artemis forum; try this method/guide and see if your problem is cured:

P.S. if searching doesn't show anything the first time you try, than rephrase what you are looking for ... should yield better results
hope this helps;

Peoples,
After flashiong a new ROM I have lost internet connectivity on my device when connected with Activesync to PC.
Re-flashed a different ROM (HTC stock standard) then another and the problems persists...this is with no additional s/w loaded on the device.
This makes me think it is an issue with my PC and possibly activesync. I re-installed activsync, no fix!
The device connects (no problems) and synchronises and I can open the deivce on the PC and see all...
Can anyone guide me through checking my PC/internet connections so as to troubleshoot as this is driving me nuts!?!?!
BTW, thought it might be firewalled out by windows XP but all seems in order there...
Looking forward to any help soonest......
Just to add that all works OK using my home Wifi connection....just when connected to Activsync with the USB cable......
Solution found....yay!
Unbelievable but true....simple solution that I waster 8 hours trying to fix by installing new ROMs, re0-installing Activesync, USB driver....you name it!
The solution was to Open ActiveSync, go to File, Connection settings.
There you will see "This computer is connected to" - Automatic
Change the dropdown arrow to.....The Internet and now it works
This Activsync software is pure rubbish...always has been and always will be....
At least I'm back in business and I hope others learn from my grief!!!
