I tried to search this but the only thing I could find was a thread that walked you through the setup but when I tried it, nothing happened.
Here is what I got:
T-Mobile, T-zones workaround for Edge.
Can I tether my MDA to my laptop via USB cable to use Edge. If so, someone please walk me through it.
Thanks,

I've been trying this too but wasn't very successful. I've tried setting up everything myself from my knowledge, but I guess that wasn't enough.
So I found a program called PDAnet. It is supposed to be an excellent program to do exactly what you're asking- connect GPRS phone to laptop to access internet. Well, I've tried this program but was not successful. For some reason I couldn't get it to work. But do give it a try yourself, it is supposed to be great.
If it works for you, maybe you can share your settings? thanks
I do this all the time, I hate the $9.95 1 day access fee when your in an airport maybe 2 hours if that.
First, ditch the USB cable and link via bluetooth. I only got my USB setup to work once and that after massive messing around. I'm assuming you have bluetooth on your lap top, I've a Dell so your set up may be somewhat different than mine.
First you want to make sure your BT radio is on, all I have to do is right click on the system tray icon and enable radio. Next bring up the BT settings manager and hit make a new connection. On the Com screen in the wizard make sure it's set to discoverable, there is a link under the settings menu bottom of the screen. If this is the first time you've paired the laptop to the Wizard then you'll need to enter the access code, in my case it is 0000 for both. On my laptop I need to go into the manual connection process otherwise it assumes I want to do a file transfer and not a modem connection. Set the connection to dial up modem, if it asks you for a number to dial it is *99# (Tmobile gprs). Thats pretty much it. The only hitch I've found is that I occasionally need to set the wizard to discoverable.
When I want to connect to the internet at admittedly slow GPRS speeds I bring up the BT manager and hit connect, it finds the Wizard, dials it into the GPRS and that's it, I'm tethered and have internet access. It's slow, kind of like a dsl line but for checking emails it's just fine. I used to have a Sierra Aircard which I could pop my SIM into and that worked great and was stable but the new laptop has an express card slot so the Aircard doesnt fit. If you have the older style port and Cingular or Tmobile you can pick these up cheap on ebay.

New! Version 1.72 adds support for GSM/GPRS devices such as T-Mobile MDA or Cingular 8125! It also supports Vista and Bluetooth/InfraRed connection through ActiveSync.
^thats from their website. Have you tried it lately?
I'm about to install it myself and try. Will post how it goes.
This makes your TILT/Kaiser into a wi fi router!
Hello I got this information from
XDA - I just changed some info to make it work for the TILT/Kaiser , also couldn’t get the screenshots in my post sorry, didn’t know how to..just check out the link and use the following date :
**** You have to change the registry value for the TILT, use TNETW12511, on the website above they give the values for different wm6 phones, for the tilt/kaiser use the value i gave and as follows...You can just read the steps on the website above but Use the value i have stated - TNETW12511
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN. (Remember this is Internet connection sharing ( IntShrUI.exe which is found in /windows directory)
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TNETW12511" (it should currently be "BTPAN1" .
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network***. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
And it works!
*** Edit Just learned that in step one you can choose USB but you still have to change the reg edit to TNETW12511 manually or by the file attaches. Selecting usb saves battery by keeping bluetooth off and just uses wifi. But if you select usb you cannot connect your computer for activesync
I copied what was on the xda website below but the pics did now show, sorry.-
Another long-awaited breakthrough: dial-up Internet Sharing over Wi-Fi!
Anyone having read my tutorial on the new Internet Sharing utility in Windows Mobile 5 AKU3 and later versions (including, of course, WM6) knows that it’s not possible to use a Windows Mobile device as a GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA etc. cellular modem via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth DUN or, with some exceptions, even infrared, “only” over BT PAN and USB. This means a lot of devices can’t connect to the Net if they don’t support either BT PAN (or USB with desktop Windows operating systems). While the BT DUN hack published some months ago certainly helped the situation (allowing for connections via the far more widely supported, “traditional” Bluetooth DUN), it still didn’t let for using the Windows Mobile Phone Edition (“Professional” in WM6 parlance) device as a modem with clients connecting via Wi-Fi.
XDA-Developers hacker fluxist has just published a tutorial on his latest finding, which, at last, allows for accessing the Net using a Windows Mobile device via Wi-Fi.
The results are as follows:
1. Start Programs / Internet Sharing. (Remember this is Internet connection sharing ( IntShrUI.exe which is found in /windows directory) Enable the sharing for Bluetooth PAN (NOT USB!) using Connect (left softkey). If you’re prompted for enabling Bluetooth visibility, close the dialog box as usual by pressing OK.
2. Start editing the Registry with a registry editor and change HKLM\Comm\ ConnectionSharing\ PrivateInterface (which is, by default, "BTPAN1" to the internal name of your Wi-Fi adapter. It’s "TNETW12511" with the TILT *** read below about attached .reg file
Note that I’ve made one registry import file available (see attached), should you want to be able to quickly change the Registry values, without the need for manually editing the Registry every time you start the Internet Sharing applet. To make your life easier, just put it in the file system of your Pocket PC and click it after starting and connecting Internet Sharing so that it’s automatically imported. Should you need a RegEdit 5-compliant Registry Editor for your handheld, I recommend Resco File Explorer .
3. Go to Settings / Connections / Wi-Fi and select the Network Adapters tab (it’s the default and only visible one when the Wi-Fi unit is disabled). Click the name of the Wi-Fi card (“IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi” on the HTC Tilt. ) Enable “Use specific IP address” and enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 into the first field (“IP address”). When you click the second row (“Subnet mask”), it’ll auto-fill 255.255.255.0. Just keep it at that. This is shown in the following screenshot:
4. From now on, you go on as with adding a p2p network (see THIS for my earlier article if interested – reading it is not needed for completing this tutorial): click “Add new…” on the Wireless tab:
Enter a network name (it can be anything; in here, it’s “WRadhoc”) and make sure you check in “This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection”:***
After clicking Next, you can set up whether you need encryption or not. If not, just set “Data encryption” to “Disabled” as can be seen in the following screenshot:
Note that you can use both WPA and WEP for encryption. I don’t discuss setting this up as only one client will be able to connect to your Windows Mobile device at a time – while it’s connected, there surely won’t be other clients connected to it. And, after you’ve ended your Net session, when you close Internet Sharing and/or disable Wi-Fi, no one will be able to connect any more either. That is, it's MUCH safer than traditional access points without any kind of encryption.
Finally, in the list of the available connections, tap-and-hold the just added network and select “Connect” from the context menu
*** Edit Just learned that in step one you can choose USB but you still have to change the reg edit to TNETW12511 manually or by the file attaches. Selecting usb saves battery by keeping bluetooth off and just uses wifi. But if you select usb you cannot connect your computer for activesync
Not to be a debbie downer, but to technically use tethering on say an AT&T contract you are supposed to have an additional service added on to your account, correct? If you do not you could potentially be charged per each kilobyte. Any idea if they can (or do) detect you are using your laptop/desktop and not the phone itself?
they have no possible way to tell weather you are using the right plan to teather.. yet....
i havent heard of anyone who got caught yet, at least not on the forum..
ATT does say that people do get caught though... lol.. i believe it to be a lie.
the only way they can tell is by physically looking at you bill and usage. Lucily att is to bueracratic to do that, but they could if they wanted to

@ StevenSZ: Go back to Hofo! If anyone has read there lately it seems like half the threads are the media plan police. And who said anyone on XDA would "steal" from ATT anyway, are you saying XDA people lack morals.
On the real topic: that is cool but how slow is it as that seems to be a complaint in that original thread. Anyway for me the Internet Sharing Wizard with USB or BT works great so I dont care about sharing GSM through Wifi.
You are my new best freind. Now if you could get this to work for the hermes.........

No idea what Hofo is but you need to step away from the keyboard for a few minutes and relax. I've read through a lot of the threads and I have not seen much talk relating back to something that can be considered plan policing, so I definitely think your numbers are way off. I asked a question and didn't suggest anything in my post, but I will say that I am 100% positive that a percentage on here will do it without the appropriate plan.
Now is your last statement a question? They usually end with question marks. Anyway, I didn't mention stealing did I? I am trying to make sure that if there is detection that people might be aware they could be charge for the KB they used... it's doing people a favor (some people might not even realize tethering is additional.. you know?). Judging by the number of threads here with cracked software (that means illegal - is that moral?) I would certainly say 100% there are people that might fit your description. Anyway, I appreciate the other reply above that actually went towards helping/answering my question and not just wasting time. Thanks. ;-)
Got it working on my tilt this evening.. very nice! I do wish there was a way to add a WEP key along with it for security, i dont want someone stealing my bandwidth!
Also it appears the network adaptor shuts off the wireless connection when the device goes to sleep.. any way to stop this from happening??
You can add security, after you pick your network name click next then do Authentication: open Encryption:wep or whatever and type in a key. YES it does stop when the phone sleeps. I have no idea why but I also want to know how to get this to stop.

I would highly recommend doing this too. While abuse is not very prevalent, it is a pretty big security hole to leave your laptop or PDA/phone-device in an open ad-hoc mode. The little inconvenience will be worth it. Also, try clear it out of your laptop when you are finished as Windows has a tendency to keep trying to broadcast itself as an ad-hoc network even when you are done.
Keep wifi from disconnecting
This will edit the registry as well as keep the connection alive! this should also fix your dropouts. I'm new here so I don't know how to upload anything so I can't upload the script but basically here are the instructions.
Download and install MortScript
here's a more direct link http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...=view&entry=65
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1448
(if the link doesn't work goto www.pocketpcfreeware.com and search for mortscript)
copy paste this script to notepad and save as KeepSharing.mscr (notice the extention this lets mortscript recognise as a script):
RegWriteString "HKLM", "\Comm\ConnectionSharing", "PrivateInterface", "TIACXWLN1"
While ( wndExists( "Internet Sharing" ))
If regKeyEqualsDWord "HKLM", "\Comm\InternetSharing\Status", "Enabled", 0
SendLeftSoft ( "Internet Sharing" )
EndIf
EndWhile
transfer to ppc phone.
steps to use it:
turn off wifi
click on internet sharing
(you can use either usb or bluetooth doesn't matter which)
click on connect
this will establish data connection
run the script by clicking on the script file
(this will edit the registry once then it sends connects by sending left softkey whenever it detects a disconnect)
now turn on wifi
(if this is not done last the connected clients won't connect properly to the internet)
end of steps enjoy! *by the way, if you copy any script directly to the start menu it gets treated as a program which you can map to a button or to an app launcher
SCRIPT IS ALSO ATTACHED with program

Thanks I will check into this tomorrow as its a little late here... I will also look into the encryption settings as well.
I've followed the instructions verbatim, but my new adhoc network on my phone just shows "connecting" forever, and never actually connects. Any advice?
Thanks.
its going to say connecting until you connect to your phone from your computer....SO lets say you named ur adhoc network "tilt wifi", from your computer search for wireless networks and connect to "tilt wifi"..and it will now say connected on your phone and now your phone is a wireless router
New Script that starts ICS and does the wifi reg edit when you start it.
Hey everyone, this is a new script that will start ICS and do the reg edit automatically when you start it. Then just start wifi and connect to the network you make on your phone...This basically saves you one step as it starts ics and does a reg edit in one.
- ( you still have to keep this changed tho - Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK. )
so.. can somewone be cool and nice enough to make this script into a program?
We have a wifi program now for the TILT!!

Fantastic programme!
First post on this forum.
Just a few queries:
I can happily browse over wifi from my laptop and N95
But I can't manage to connect an iphone or ipod touch. It is possible that these devices do not allow browsing over an ad hoc connection-any way round this?
The connection drains the kaiser battery very quickly-I'll try adjusting the Kaisers power settings.
The USB connection did work for browsing but now does not. Even when the wifi programme is not running. When the Kaiser is short of batteries I have tried connecting via USB to charge the phone but this knocks off the wifi connection but still the USB networking connection does not work.
Otherwise nice piece of work. Thank you.
Please also make sure you post a link to your thread to the original thread so that all non-XDA-Dev users also find this thread (I've linked to the original thread from several of my articles also cross-posted to other boards and mags)

I want to be able to connect my tmobile usa kaiser to my notebook and use the net. Someone please help me... Im stuck in the middle of no where with no other way to access the net...
Hi,
The way I do it uses ActiveSync 4.5.
On AS 4.5 on the PC go into connection settings and uncheck/turn off "allow USB connections". That way AS won't try to start syncing.
Connect the Kaiser.
Launch 'Internet Sharing" on the Kaiser.
PC Connection should read USB.
Network Connection should read your choice of internet/network connection.
Click connect down the bottom left and you should get a connection...

no connection...
do a search for WMWifirouter.cab. Works great for tethering

This forum (and other Forums) are littered with instructions. Just takes a little diligence and reading to piece it all together. Previous poster is right, if you have WiFi on your laptop then you should try WMWifiRouter.
If you prefer ICS then here's the little that I know - might help you get started. So I'm assuming here that when you say "tethering" you're talking about ICS and not using your phone as a USB modem. Are you on a stock T-Mobile WM6 ROM or a cooked ROM? If you're on a cooked ROM you probably already have ICS available. Do you have any shortcuts in your programs for Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)? How about in your Comm Manager - anything to turn it on / off? If no, then you'll need to browse your file system on the device and find the file \Windows\IntShrUI.exe. That's the one you need to start ICS.
If you don't have it you can try installing from the attached files. No guarantees, but it might do the job for you.
Shouldn't need to do any other configuring on your phone, like disabling advanced USB options from connection settings. Also you shouldn't need to disable or change anything in Activesync on the PC, like disabling your USB connection. Once you start ICS select your connection (go with USB, it's easier and requires no setup). Choose your network connection. Click connect. Plug in your USB cable.
You're PC should add a new network connection, you'll get a new IP address for that connection (I think something like 192.168.x.x). Then you should be able to browse the internet.

I was trying to get this work on a Verizon Ozone, which definitely did not have the ICS component. In addition to the three files mentioned in the post above (installed first in the order listed) I needed to also get the IPDrivers CAB file from the author of WMWiFiRouter. I simply used the contact form on that website and mentioned trouble with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). It sent an automated reply (about 12 hours later) that contained the file. So then I installed it, and then finally installed WMWiFiRouter. I found that the install order was important! I found that inspecting the WMWiFiRouter log file (under TOOLs in the menu) was helpful in figuring things out. I knew i had it right went there were no more FAILures in the log. Even then it did not work and I discovered that my WEP encryption key was not the recommended 5 or 13 characters and it had made its own longer key, which of course did not match what I used the system that was trying to use the WiFi. Once I put in a 13 character key, everything works just fine! I also found that I did NOT need to run the ICS manually, so don't bother messing around with it. WMWiFiRouter knows that it is there and uses it transparently.
Can you upload all the files you used??i also have the ozone
Hey all , ive been trying to tether my laptop with my tilt...now i go into wireless modem and choose the usb type connection. is there additional software or a program i need to install to make it work (and i dont have the tether option on at&t will that make a different ?)
thanx in advance for those with serious replies.
Don't use wireless modem!!! Won't work right. What you want to do is find the program shortcut in ythe \Windows folder called Internet Sharing.lnk.
Copy it & paste it to your program directory located \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, paste the shortcut there.
Launch the Int Share proggie, hook up to pc via usb, select usb as connection type & MediaNet as the connect to. Press connect & activesync will drop out & you will be connected.
It works great...I'm wondering if AT&T can tell that I'm tethering or not when I do this. I really don't want to pay for tethering.

No they can't. I mean they can see how much traffic is going through but after all, you're paying $30 for internet on a tiny device! Thats the price of home DSL internet!
I've been tethering for ages
i've been tethering for a while (and also use data like crazy on my devices) i just make sure to disable to the proxy first...
also once i was in the ATT store making some adjustments on my plan and the guy noticed the high traffic use and was gonna force me to upgrade to PDA connect for $50/month. I just told him that i bought the device with that plan and why would u charge me more if they advertised it with the medianet package...
he let me keep the medianet package and warned me saying that if i get caught then they'll charge me per kilobyte... that day hasn't come yet..
why would i disable the proxy ? thanx for the replies they were very helpfull !

This really deserves a knuckle rap because it's posted about a thousand times. There are two cabs. Disablehiddenproxy.cab & Restorehiddenproxy.cab.
If you have a stock tilt you need to run disable every time you reset because the proxy is default. If you have a modded rom, just the opposite is true & you need to enable it to use AT&T proggies/sites.
READ & SEARCH!!!
Forgive me bra! Your right I should have looked harder .

Yes, I've been tethering ONLY when I go on long road trips, like from DC to NYC and/or DC to NH/VT. I have not been charged extra by AT&T (I'm on the Unlimited PDA Data plan... $40 per month) for tethering, but my understanding is (according to another post I found in XDA-Developers) that if WE UPGRADE TO WM 6.1, AT&T WILL BE ABLE to know when we are doing tethering and when we're not. If tethering... they'll charge us extra. :-( I really think it's unfair! So, these bastards are pretty much asking us to pay $40 for the unlimited PDA plan, which they misinterpret and misadvertise as our having "the internet in our hands"... which is true, but that means we can only get a certain amount of packets per second! By tethering, we're getting more packets per second and that's when they simply do not like it! BASTARDS! Well, those are my 2 cents. Please let me know if it's true about the WM6.1 upgrade and/or if anyone finds out based on real-life experience! (whether or not they got charge for tethering after upgrading to WM6.1)
what exactly will disabling the proxy do?

I have no problem with Activesync over the cellular network or wifi, but when I connect the USB and it automatically launches Activesync on the laptop, I see this error on the PC side. Looks like it is able to sync everything except the Outlook data. I looked for this error code on Microsoft site, but I don't see much details about this error code. I have installed additional SSL certificates to see if that resolves the issue, but it didn't. I have had this issue from Day-1.
It is not an issue as long as I am in USA where I have cellular data service to get the emails/appointments/contacts into my phone over the cellular network. However, when I travel, I don't plan to pay for the exhorbitant roaming charges and so would like to use the USB link to sync the info.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Is there a solution?
I heard they had wifi overseas, too. Supposedly its not that exhorbitant, and possibly more convenient than keeping a laptop with you at all times to sync your PIM stuff.
I do carry a travel router with me everywhere with my laptop while on travel to create an instant wifi access point. However, if I am sitting in one of our offices and have a LAN connection to my laptop, I don't see why I can't get my USB connection to work. I am sure there are others who need to sync up Outlook while the phone is connected to the laptop for charging purpose.
Saw this on a site, might want to check it out:

" Support Code:80072f7d
Fixes:
Note that this involves registry changes so be careful with it.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
This site has the registry file that you can double click and modify.

This disables the Layered Service Provider (LSP) that use the Windows TCP/IP stack. "
Don't know if that will work,but worth a try.
Make sure to export your original reg key first so if it doesn't help you can always change it back.

I tried the registry addition on the phone just now and then rebooted the phone. But, it didn't help. I have seen this discussion on pdaphone forum, but it is not clear whether it should be done on the phone or the PC side. Chris Herrera's site is also not very clear about it. The file has a .reg extension. Does the extension indicate where it should be run? I manually added the parameter on the phone.
hmm,
good question, and searching both my Vista laptop and my Tilt registry, didn't even come up with that key, but it may be making a new key.
If it didn't work on the phone,try the pc, and if it that doesn't help, was worth a shot.
This is a two part problem.....
The first thing you need to do is add the reg entry to your PC not your Tilt. You can download and run the reg entry from
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/LSPvalue.reg
or you can add the line to your reg using regedit.....
The second part is changing the connection settings within ActiveSync....
- Go to File/Connection Settings within ActiveSync...
- Go to the drop down box that reads "This Computer Connects to:" and change that from "Auto" to "The Internet"
Those two items fixed my errors......
Good luck....
The last suggestion fixed it for me.
The funny part is that this is a problem only on my work laptop. At home I have no issues.
Thanks
worked for me too
...but it didn't work with dutty's...using RynCpprV6 at the moment.
I think it is something to do with my work PC..
Just want to chime in and say this fixed the activesync error 80072f7d for me too!
(added HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000, didn't reboot, and File/Connection Settings within ActiveSync changed from "Auto" to "The Internet")
Another thumbs up. Works a treat. Didn't even need to reboot.

Activesync error 80072F7D on Toshiba TG01 comes up when try to sync Toshiba TG01 with company's Exchange server
Solution;
Start>>Settings>>Connections>>USB to PC>>Uncheck box: "Enable advanced network functionality".
Sync'd up fine right after.
