Tethering Programs

Hi everyone. I hope that someone can help me.
I used to use PDANet for tethering with my 8525 and my laptop; which was awesome. Since upgrading to the Tilt (WM6), I can't tether because PDANet is not compatible with WM6. When I communicated with them I was told that they currently have no plans to offer their program for WM6.
I do not tether enough to pay a hefty $30 per month to tether through AT&T. But every Saturday and Sunday I really need it for my travel.
Does anyone know of a program that is compatible with WM6 that I can use to tether as PDANet allowed without indicating my tethering to AT&T?
Any and all help is greatly and humbly appreciated.

The latest version of WM5 and in WM6 there is a "internet sharing" ability that tethers to both Vista and XP extremely nicely. Call AT&T, they for some reason hid this on the Tilt, but it's there (in the Windows directory if you want to find it with file explorer), but AT&T's PDA group should be able to help you. It's really really easy.

I flashed my Tilt to the HTC ROM and could tether fine. You can do a forum search for detailed instructions on retrieving the Internet Connection Sharing program from the Windows directory as the previous poster had mentioned for the Tilt's ROM. The Tilt is capable of natively tethering, but AT&T made it a bit harder to find the function.

I found the file info on another site. It's called "Internet Sharing" and it's in the Windows directory. I tried to set it up, but am not saavy enough to make it work.
I can't afford to pay AT&T another $70 a month to get my laptop onto the internet when I'm out in the boonies. I used "Modem Link" on my 2125, but can't seem to make anything work on my new "Tilt".
If anyone knows how to make it work, I'd appreciate the help. Since I'm pretty new at this, step by step instructions would sure help.
Thanks,

This will add the link back in for you:

Download the cab file, copy it to your phone, and use file explorer on your phone to run the cab file. From there just go to Programs, Internet Sharing and tether away.

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks!
It works great! Faster than the old dialup I used to have.

How 'bout tethering my TYTN II to my notebook via Bluetooth and utilizing the TYTN II as the GPS receiver with the navigation software on my notebook?
Thanx.

Never thought about that. I have MS Pocket Streets and Trips on the PC and laptop. I'll try it when I get a chance.

Are you out of your mind?

MR. scottwilkins ;;;; Are you out of your mind ???????
If any one call AT&T they will tell you that you have to pay for a more expensive PLAN in order to TETHER.
AT&T DON'T WANT YOU TO TETHER if YOU DON'T HAVE a PLAN that LET'S YOU TETHERING, and believe ME it's not going to be $30 for the plan, its going to be $50 and I think up to $80 JUST so you can TETHER.
SO DON'T EXPOSE YOURSELVES to AT&T........
...... They WILL REAP YOU APART.
DON'T be !##!&^$&*[email protected]#$^*&#, If you understood that
NOW, how do I KNOW THIS!!!!!! Because IIIIIIIIIII CALLED.
Of course they are not going to know if you are doing it (using Internet Sharing) (I'm not sure about using Dial UP) unless you start playing from your computer an online game that you CAN'T OBVIOUSLY install in YOUR PPC.
When it was cingular it was OK with THEM, just as long you DIDN'T abuse.
Soooooo.....DOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T CALL THEM.

Macbook Leopard and Bluetooth GPRS

Has anyone managed to browse the net using their Wizard with the Macbook Leopard via their Bluetooth? I know its possible but I am just not managing. Any help/pointers? Thanks in advance.

Figured it out.
No worries I figured it all out...

How?? Can you share?

Followed this guide..
Well I followed this guide I found after a little googling:
http://justinblanton.com/2006/01/mac-os-x-windows-mobile-bluetooth-modem
One has to download certain drivers available here (as the wonderful article above will explain):
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
The issue I was having was trying to dial *9***1# (which my service provider had given)
Whereas I changed it to *99# (as the article suggested)
and entered username as [email protected]
and password: yourserviceprovider.
And it worked!
All the best to you, let me know if you succeeded.

doesn't that end up making you pay to connect? I want to do the same thing but dial my local ISP (407.896.XXXX, a local dial up number)
another question I have been trying to solve is how to use a 4gig micro SD chip on a Cingular 8125(Wizard)

Well the configuration that I have mentioned is for GPRS for which you are anyway paying according to your mobile service provider's plan. Connecting via bluetooth you only access your mobile GPRS on the Mac, you pay whatever your mobile service charges you for accessing GPRS via mobile phone. As regards the dial up, I guess you would have to buy the Mac USB modem, then you can dial-in to your ISP.

This answer I do not know since I use a 2gig card which at the moment is more than sufficient.

I've got an easier method that doesn't involve needing to mess with the Mac's bluetooth settings very much...IF you have Internet Sharing on your phone
(which seems to be included in most of the roms I see kicking around this place...)
You also don't need to install any scripts or do much other mucking about...
1. Pair your devices through the usual methods
2. launch internet sharing, select "bluetooh PAN" for PC Connection and hit connect
3. go to the mac's bluetooth settings and select your phone, then hit the 'gear' at the bottom of that menu; click 'connect to network.'
Viola! Internet access without much work!
I feel like I may have oversimplified or missed a step, let me know if you have problems!
BTW--this was done using a VERY recent macbook and dferria's WM5 Touch Rom v 5.0 w/AT&T USA. Your results may vary!

Thanks for adding that information, I guess the method I found is for ROMs which don't have the PAN sharing option. Like mine. At least I couldn't find it.

How to use a Kaiser as a 3G modem for laptop

Is it possible to use my Kaiser to connect my laptop to the internet to make browsing easier than looking at the small phone screen. If so what software/hardware do I need.

hmm ... did u search or bother reading the manual that came w/ the kaiser?
the answer is yes and ur carrier will charge extra for this ... unless u r smart and don't download 10gb of data using ur phone.

Umm....yes. It's in the owner's manual that came with your device. The program is Internet Sharing.
Hardware needed= 1xKaiser and 1xLaptop/PC
Software needed=Bluetooth on Laptop/PC
Method:
1. Enable visible bluetooth on Kaiser
2. Enable visible bluetooth on Laptop/PC
3. Go to START>PROGRAMS>INTERNET SHARING on the Kaiser and CONNECT
4. On Vista go to Network connections panel and choose Connect to PAN Buetooth network.
Should be done. Just beware of your data usage as you could run up a heck of a bill if you go crazy surfing and downloading.

When your PDA is connected to ActiveSync it gets access to the laptop's internet connection, so yes. Install ActiveSync and connect the phone. No partnership needed, guest is ok.

uh..doesn`t this defeat the purpose of unlimited data plan or are they really that bad? I pay $30 for the unlimited data plan with AT&T for 3G (even HSDPA) in my area. Heck my home DSL costs me about same and sometimes I download like tomorrow isn`t coming. lol.
Has anyone ever had a problem with this before?

i am using dutty's diamond v1 which does not have internet sharing anymore. how do i put it back?

WMWifirouter is a great app for tethering. I use it all the time and version 1.20 comes with some great features for usb/BT tethering that kick the **** out of internet sharing that comes with WM

Not to be a complete smartass, but Bluetooth is a physical hardware radio device....not software ( via an internal card or USB adapter). I only mention this in the case the original poster ( who obviously didnt open his manual or do any sort of research ) thinks he can download a piece of software to make his PC have bluetooth.
Again, not flaming or picking a fight ....... just making sure he has no confusion

bittorrent program to Diamond?

Hello.
Where can i download a program like utorrent or azureus to my HTC Touch Diamond // Windows mobile edition 6.1?

is there any point? you would just get billed thousands from your operator for data charges.
even still, i have no idea.

I Could see some validity in this..
Suppose you had an unlimited data plan, you could download files you need on the move.
However you wouldn't want to download large files as this probably would kill your battery, even worse if you are using WiFi.
If you still want a such a program, try this one: http://www.adisasta.com/wmTorrent.html
A simple search in Google for 'bittorent for windows mobile' brought up many programs.
Hope this helps

the downloadrate of diamond is to slow. 200kb....

Regrettably "unlimited web" rarely means just that, theres usually a "fair use" policy applied to you contract so down loading torrents would reach that very quickly. 02 say your data use must not harm the quality of service for other customers.
Ady

"02 say your data use must not harm the quality of service for other customers."
> If it does harm quality of service for other costumers, it just means their network is crap

P2P and Voip are often forbidden by operators (for exemple Orange and O2) even with unlimited dataplan...

are you trying to use internet sharing with no data plan? if so, that wont work

Like "leemoss84" commented, you can't use internet sharing if you don't have data plan, as internet sharing is using the data plan of your phone for browsing internet on computers.
But if you want to use the wireless (Wi-Fi) feature of the phone without using the data plan, disable the 'Proxy'
Start > Tools > Proxy Manager > Disable Proxy
also in the Settings > Connections > Select Network
select "My ISP" instead of MEdia Net
once you've done this, you can access wireless network without being charged by AT&T.

I do have Data plan
I do have a Data Plan with AT&T with unlimited internet, but At&t wants me to charge me an extra $60 a month! just for tethering with my laptop
or to use the phone as a modem.
I want to know if there is a way to jump the $60.00 a month they want to charge on top of the unlimited internet and voice plan Im paying now.
Thanks in advance.

To tether undetected, just make sure both your internet connections in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced Select Networks" are set to MediaNet and take out any proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I do it all the time.

Bruce thanks, so I went to take out the proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I i see a message on the TASK tab " The Connection is pre-configured it cannot be modified

I didn't know that would work unless you use a custom rom. I wasn't able to tether untill I flashed with dutty's. after that.. a few changes (media net, etc. mentioned above.) and I was off and running..

can you please recommend how can I flash my phone?
at this moment I'm lock with At&t
what will be the best option to flash my phone?

step one assume you have topaz (htc pure) in my case
go here to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
then once thats done go here and choose your rom that you want to flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
I recomend NRGZ28 Max manila http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942
basicly when you download the rom if everything went well with step one just open the RUU file (looks like a topaz phone icon) and follow instructions. Make sure your phone is connected via sync
again this is a fast tutorial theres more detail ones around here in these forums

I had the same trouble when I first got the pure. There is a way to use ICS on the original rom. You have to change some registry values. I searched the internet and found the instuctions and it worked. But since then I have used many different roms that are better than the original and don't have that problem. I would recommend the energy rom. Remember to install hard spl first.

Don't you have a app "Remove Proxy server"?

all of this is comepletly not needed . there is a reg edit that will handle this easily over on the att forum . ;-) just do some digging like i did no flashing or other programs needed .

might as well just install a simple app that is 2kb. it will save time considering you didnt post the edit and when you hard reset you dont have to go looking for it again, all you gotta do is install the app.

I will do some more research
then I need a app to manipulate the Registry on my HTC PURE with AT&T.
thanks guys

WOW ! I got it the HTC PURE AT&T Solution to install the latest "Hard SPL"
Wow!
First thank you for all your contributions and inputs trying to help me with my problem Flashing the HTC PURE AT&T
Here is what I did:...
I was having a lot of problems trying to install the latest "Hard SPL", specially with USB communication and even when my phone was connected via ActiveSync.
I tried the automatic Flash and the manual with no results........ I was about to give up!
Also I download the "enablerapinew.cab" and installed on my phone main memory and ran the .cab and I got the message "installation of enablerapinew.cab was unsuccessful"- so i was going NUTS ! and I tried another .cab files to see if I was getting the same error and .... same thing I tried different .cab files like TOMTOM , google maps and a Games and all of them gave me the same message !"installation of enablerapinew.cabwas unsuccessful"
mmm........
So what I did was I reset the phone to the Manufacturers setup ( you know entering the password) 1234 and the phone will be like the first time you turned on.
so after that I install the enablerapinew.cabb and the installation was successful ! and everything else work !
now I have the ROM i wanted ! and .....
KISS GOODBYE AT&T !!!

yeah, a good hard reset will work wonders sometimes when you got a problem that cant be fixed. congrats.

so i have a question... i am running a custom rom on my phone, but my dad wants to basically do what the OP wanted, internet tethering without paying for the extra tethering plan. i cannot convince him to let me flash a new rom, likes the phone as is, just wants internet sharing. if i run that .cab on his phone, do i have to then make registry changes, or will the cab do all the work? what else would i need to do to give him his internet sharing?

Just install the cab.
AT&T tracks tethering through their proxy server, the reg edit just takes out the proxy settings as does the cab.
Its the same tweak, just different ways to get there.
To verify it worked go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and confirm it is blank.

the "enablerapinew.cab" this CAB is for phones with problem installing the Hard SPL, the "enablerapinew.cab" will enable the phone to install the "Hard SPL" and them you need to flash the ROM , on my case I did a hard reset and them install the "enablerapinew.cab" them run the cab , and them flash the Rom, and after that I was able to share internet w/out problems
