I have already search this site/ it doesn't give me solution for what i need to do, or i haven't understood what it really says. so please bear and help me if possible.
Situation is -
Two desktop PC
One Kaiser
PC-1 is connected to Dial-up Internet
Wifi Router (D-link) attached to PC-1 for Kaiser's Internet access
I need to use My wifi transmitted Internet signal in to Desktop PC 2 (I don't want to install additional Wifi Lan card in PC-2)
I want to use kaiser's Wifi + Activesync to use the internet on PC-2
Is it possible ???
Thanks
1) Activesync internet passthrough only works the other way
2) If you are prepared to do a reg hack, then you can share your internet connection using ICS from your device to your pc (as it only works via BT or USB normally).
BUT you will need to undo the hack whenever you want to use it any other way...
3) It would be a hell of a lot simpler to buy a USB wifi dongle for second pc though...
Thanks
Thanks for info
These might help you.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if you could help an extreme newbie.
I just got my tilt a couple of days ago, and with the help of a friend i have installed Dutty's touchflow rom. My problem is the following:
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that connects to the internet wirelessly through my wireless router. My tilt also connects to the internet through the router. However if i connect the tilt to the vaio for an activesync or to charge, the wireless connection on the laptop crashes. It crashes even if the wifi on the tilt is turned off. It can only be restored if i disconnect the phone AND restart the computer.
Did anybody face a similar problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It's an activesync issue.
When not connected to the PPC , Right click on AS icon in the PC.
Select Connections.
on the bottom you will see.
"Allow wireless connection......"
Mark the check box and your good to go

Hey buddy,
Thanks very much for responding. Tried it but unfortunately no joy. Its like my laptop loses the ability to connect to the router. I can see the connection but it just stays there, tries to get an ip, gets one and then crashes again...
Any other ideas?
what nadavi said, helps when you have problems connectin at your phone not your laptop.
perhaps your problem hs to do woth your network-configuration. AS gives a bridged network-interface trough to your mobile phone, connected via AS.
eventually your real-network-interace-driver or something else has problems with thi network-bridging ... did you tried to install AS 4.2 instead of 4.5 or otherwise?

I bet you have a Intel 2195 or 2200BG wireless adapter in the notebook? There is a problem with some of the drivers for the adapter and Activesync that makes you wireless network disconnect when you plug your phone in for sync. I had the same problem on my former laptop, it went a way with a driver downgrade!!! if I remember correct
Another way of solving it was installing Trend Micro PC-illin 2007 Internet security. It installs some sort of driver that made it work, it sound crazy I know but it worked with that - I and more people that I know got it working that way but I dont´t like Trend Micros software
Hey easycure,
Thanks for this response. I took your advice and went the opposite direction. I do have a 2200BG adapter, but rather than downgrade, i upgraded the driver.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!!
@edi - thanks for your reccomendation too. In the end i did not need to go that way, but thanks all the same.

Yeah it might have been a driver update I did, it was two years ago I had that laptop so I cant remember exactly But I am happy that it fixed it for you - I do remember how frustrating it was
I am having the very same issue. When I connect my Kaiser via activesync the wireless status information immediately appears on my laptop. The internet connection then stops working or only occasionally works. Took me an age to find a related thread! I'm about to update the drivers for the 2200BG adapter so I hope it works!
Cheers
Ok I have been looking for a solutions for a long time. I want to use my shiny new Dell Mini 10 with windows 7 for turn by turn directions and i want to use my at&t tilt as the GPS receiver. So, what FREE solutions do I have? Google Earth would be sweet if it had VOICE directions.. but I know the odds of finding a free solution for that is going to be slim.
also, i keep thinking that i'll need a data connection AND a way to share the gps signal?!
bluetooth isn't an option.. at least not yet. I have to buy a BT dongle some day soon. HOPEFULLY i can find a miniscule BT USB thing so it wont stick out the side of the mini too much.
So i have 2 options for connections.. i have WIFI router on the tilt or i have to use USB. but as far as i know.. if i use usb i have to then CHOOSE between internet sharing or activesync... i need to use active sync to share the gps ports but i need internet sharing to get the data connection!!?? sooooo confused..
someone PLEASE help me
thats the situation.. to review... here are the questions i need answered.
1) what software to use on the laptop?
2) what software(s) to use on the phone?
2a) gps sharing?
2b) internet sharing?
3) how to connect the two? (usb, wifi or bt)
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME to whoever responds..
and please don't BURN me because I HAVE SEARCHED.. if you know the threads i should read then please just link me and i'll be happy to read them over..
Well, you'll need something like gps2blue
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
on the tilt and Hardware Virtual Serial Port from here:
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
That will make the GPS on the Tilt look like a Serial port GPS device to the netbook.
That is the easy part. I don't think you'll find a free GPS mapping product with turn-by-turn voice commands.
Actually you will

I want to ask: this software only connect to WiFi and Bluetooth right? How to connected through cable (activesync)? Anyone help me answer!
Thanks
i would say thats not possible. wy do you want to use the cable? if you have an active-sync connection, you can copy the document to the computer and print it...
Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric
any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

Reading fail
He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.
i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.
did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?
