Say I have an iPod Touch nearby and would like to use the data connectivity of my Kaiser for the iPod's web browsing. Is there any application out there which turns the Kaiser into a wireless router so that nearby Wifi devices can leverage its bandwidth?

I use that program on my tilt and haven't had any problems, I did have a little trouble getting it to work in the first place until I realized that my internet connection sharing program wasn't working, the thread posted above also has a link to ICS that works great.
Very cool program

Hi Guys,
I've used the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) before on the AT&T 8525 with Schapp's WM6 ROM. I am trying to do it on my Mac using my AT&T Tilt running HTC stock ROM. It shows that the connection works, paired, and is "connected" on my TILT via Bluetooth, but when I try opening a webpage on my Mac, the browser isn't connected to the net.
Is anyone else having the same problem or can offer a fix?
By the way, running OS 10.4.10 and am on an Intel processor.
In "Systems Settings/Network" you got to arrange the different inteface in right order, with "the most wanted" highest on list. I have my bluetooth PAN above Ethernet and Airport. I'm on a MBP 2.4 and Leopard, and for me it works absolutly great!!!

Thanks so much!!! That works. I moved the BT and BT PAN up above ethernet and airport like you said and it works like a beautiful charm!
You might also want to consider sharing your internet connection via WiFi instead. It's much faster.
There is a thread floating around here somewhere with an all-in-one wifi router program that will do this without you having to perform the registry tweaks.
edit: and it works great on my mac
Is sharing the internet over WiFi a bigger battery drain than the USB ICS?
Sharing Internet over wifi = More battery drain on Pocket PC
Sharing Internet over USB = More battery drain of Laptop PC as your phone will also be charged by this time.

I was thinking of using my kaiser to connect my pc to a wireless network,
I have a wireless router in my house but i dont have a wire that goes to my room, so i want to connect my Kaiser via usb to the computer and the Kaiser to the wireles router via WIFI so i can use the internet in my room in my computer.
Is it Possible?
I have a wireless modem option on my dutty 6 hybrid rom. I would think that that option could be tweeked to add an option to use wifi instead of cellular and then you would be able to recieve over b.tooth and wouldnt need a cable either. I would donate and then ask one of the devlopers very nicely if they knew of or could write a tweek for me. But thats just what my plan of attack wood be
It is possible and there is a reg hack that allows wifi sharing over ICS - but sticking a wifi usb dongle in the pc would be a lot easier.
As a second thought, it dawned on me that i hacked a linksys wrt54gs and changed the flash/os to dd-wrt`s 3rd party software
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
By switching to dd-wrt i then had an option to make the AP a wireless bridge and thats how i connect my slingbox to my network. I would recommend that anyone with a linksys router re-flash to this 3rd party software which enables TONS of features to this device. Hope this helps. PEACE!!
These might help you.

holy crap !
the jongma thing works perfectly with dutty's rom.
im amazed, my computer is connected to the internet via wifi signal that my phone is broadcasting. thats incredible.
on 3g its fffffffffffast!
Is there any way to use wifi instead of 3G etc? I have a Wii here at school with wireless. It wont connect to the schools wireless network because of the routers used. Im thinking if I could use the Kaiser to brodcast wifi and connect the Wii that way then maybe it would work? Any thoughts?
I've been reading some threads on turning the Kaiser into a wireless router, and was wondering if anyone had succesfully connected a Sony PSP to it? What am trying to do is use the Remote Play and Location Free features.
ever figure out how to get this done?
I have same setup as you as far as hardware.. for software i am using duttys 6.1 RTM on the kaiser and CFW 3.71 on the psp slim.
Lemme know...
Thanks,
J

The obvious question is why? It (PSP) connects wirelessly to your home network. 3G is fast but is it fast enough for on line gaming?
Remote play mostly just accesses content from your PS3 , pictures, music, not games , thru the internet.

the reason why....

1.Having the cell phone (3g HSDPA UMTS EDGE, GPRS in my case) would enable my psp to have an internet connection while mobile in the car. That is the biggest reason.
2.I already use WMWifiRouter to enable my passengers to use wifi on their notebooks while travelling. I would like to stream movies(very doable over 3g) to my psp so my son can watch them on the go.
3. I have a modded psp running CFW and I can do much more than play games on it. Many of the modded features are network reliant or network ready such as VNC, Streaming video from the PSP, youtube, watching Live tv, and of course accessing my media server through my ps3 at home. All on a much bigger screen than my kaiser.
4.Youtube, browsing internet(even with opera), screen size, OS performance still sucks on the kaiser, the graphics still suck(pending the new rom from htc).
5. Cause I just want it.

but as youll see on there i already posted There is one user who says he got it to work but i highly doubt he was connected to the phone or could even see it during a scan especially if he "didnt set anything up" and "it just worked" mods feel free to merge the threads. This has to be possible. Of course this is coming from somebody who doesnt know how to cook in the winmo world or the psp cfw world. I wish i could give a little less conversation with allot more action but i dont even know where to start learning how to cook.

this i can help with Just simply go to the first sticky underneath the Kaiser-Rom development forum and their you will find instructions on where to download the "kaiser kitchen" and also information about how to dump and reconstruct roms etc. etc.

I have never used WMWifiRouter although it was always my understanding that does exactly what you are asking (make a WAP for access from any device). And indeed you are doing that, so I can only surmise there is something weird with how the PSP accesses it? I know i would have issues with my PSP when trying to connect to a hidden (non broadcast) SSID.
Anyway, it looks like WMWifiRouter had gone commercial..maybe it is updated to work better? You can download a trial and see, and possibly email for support. Tell them you want to buy it if it will work with PSP. I really don't know how it can advertise it is working as a WAP if a device can't connect to it. Assuming the devices all use the same 802.11 standard and support the same encryption protocols. Otherwise, his software isn't really doing what it says... but again I haven't really investigated it.
wmwifirouter creates an on-demand wireless connection, which is quite different from a wireless access point. When you use another laptop to connect through your kaiser's 3G via wmwifi, it's basically like an adhoc wireless connection. The psp doensn't support adhoc wifi for internet,(only for psp-psp communication) or on-demand wifi.
What you could try is using your laptop to connect to wmwifirouter and then using softAP to turn your laptop into a wireless access point and THEN use your psp to connect to your laptop. Then again its way to complicated to be viable, so just forget it

Right I just downloaded and played with the trial and see what you mean. I think your workaround using ICS on the laptop will definitely work, and you might be able to automate thes setup with some netsh commands...but it would definitely take 5-10 mins to set up manually.
Other than that research the CF on the PSP to see if anyone figured a way to connect ad-hoc... I haven't been on the PSP scene for about 6 months, so I don't know what is new.

no no.. good thinking.. and not so complicated at that. Thanks for providing a solution and not bashing the attempt. Ill attempt this and let you know. I do have an old POS laptop i can reimage and set in the car with wake on lan active for the remote times.
hi,
Is it possible to share my desktop computer's LAN internet connection to my phone?(via bluetooth?)
I already have a bluetooth dongle for my pc and I have a personal area network under network connections..
Remember, I need to *send* internet from my desktop to the phone, not the other way around.
Also, I have a separate laptop without an internet connection but 802.11 b/g WLAN, can I connect to the diamond to share files wirelessly?
Thanks so much
you can share internet TO your Diamond using activesync, and if you have a infinate amount of patience, in theory you can connect Activesync via Bluetooth (its in the options, and microshaft says it works, but i have tried with 4 different PPCs, and never have made it work).
As for the file sharing, you would need to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which i have no idea how to do
Interesting, I'll try that.
But is'nt there a way I can make a network adapter for my diamonds bluetooth and then have it accept the personal network connection on my desktop?
It seems this feat is possible with symbian phones and an app called gnubox which *takes* internet from a computer via bluetooth.
Thanks so much.
yes they call it PAN
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
the instructions on that page is wrong.
Theres no Network cards under Settings>Connections!
hey, the active sync sharing works! =P I'm quite happy with it!!!
Btw, you can also try connecting activesync via bluetooth with shared internet. Seems to work ok for browsing but not for WL messenger.
Also, Wifi network is way more easier to setup.
This is a fairly newbie question, and I know it was covered when the software was being developed for the Hermes. I used it then, but now cannot remember the name of it or find a reference to it anywhere on the forum. It isnt easy to search on such a small screen either, so apologies for taking the short route.
My hotel offers free wifi. I can connect to this wifi using my Kaiser. I want to browse the internet on a large display, ie my old Thinkpad. I connect my Kaiser to the laptop via USB and select internet sharing on the Kaiser, but only get options for sharing my 3G/GPRS connection, not the hotels Wifi. Where aren't I looking?!
Can I just make clear I am not talking about using my Kaiser as a wireless router.
WMWifiRouter can connect your Kaiser from:
- Cellular to Wifi
- Cellular to USB
- Cellular to Bluetooth
- Wifi to USB
- USB to Wifi
on your Thinkpad
I hope that helps
