Tether- Internet Sharing over Wi-Fi with Kaiser/Tilt!!!

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.

Active sync 4.5.0 and Internet

Hey everyone I am really curious about how I need to go about accesing the internet throung the usb connection while my tilt is plugged in. I have read that previous versions of active sync had a feature called pass through which could be enabled / disabled at your choice. However in the current version of active sync this does not seem to be an option.
I basically just want to be able to browse the net on my tilt while I am connected to the pc via my usb cable.
Why because the at home internet connect is way better then the 3g network. This way I can download large files directly to my phone.
I have tried the registry edit as well as other methods. Still can't get the damn thing to work..
I am running the stock tilt rom directly from att. No mods no nothing. Also the version of active sync that I have came directly off the att tilt cd.
Please Help I appreciate your efforts in advance!

I have this workaround ( same situation with my X51V ) that you can try.
import the reg file or add the following key:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Most works out of the box ( internet while activesync ... not sure why yours don't ... could be something that you did ??
anyway ... try the reg import and report back

I didn't do anything on mine and it is able to connect to internet through the USB whenever I connect it. WiFi is disable when the USB is connected.

when setting up activesync ... the last window allow you to enable WIFI while connected to USB too ( if prefered )
or go into ( File -->> Connection Settings ) and check "allow wireless connection on device while connected to desktop"

yeah tried the reg hack before. didn't change anything for me.
I also messed with the advanced network functionality box under start settings> connections> USB to PC.
No worky for me.
Is there anything else you guys have done on the phone? Should there be any other entries under network management? RIght now I have listed
Media Net
AT&T ISP
My Work Network
MY ISP

If you haven't MOD anything like you've said ... I would suggest a hard reset ... and don't touch that USB to PC setting !!!
things should allow you to surf while activesync right out of the box !

for real OH Jebus Hard reset. Just great. Well atleast i don't have too much on my phone.
Any other suggestions?

In your PC ACtiveSYnc' connection settings, you will have a drop-down under name "This computer is connected to". Take out Automatic there and choose Internet.
Sometimes ActiveSync will not recognize that your PC has internet. Tell me if this was it in your case.

Carty..

yeah my man did that as well... maybe I will try the hard reset and see what happens

ive been curious about this also. mine just seems to default to my 3g connection...do i have to disable this for it to use the active sync connection?

Nope. When Synced, ActiveSync' net is on first priority!
Regards,
Carty..

I wonder if you have the networks proxy set in your default internet connection and when you connect via as it cant see the proxy nd thus wont allow connection...

interesting i tried out the newest rom on kaiser upgrade section...the att rom. i was gettin the same behavior. i loved the rom but was only bugged by that. i went to a new rom and fixed that problem. something with how att handles activesync cant do the job.

And ATT use a proxy...

i tried the diasable proxy cab flying around...it was no good. I'm using a different rom right now. It only happened to me on that specific rom.

I would have thought you just need to check the connection settings and make sure no proxy is enabled.

regarding the Tilt and the proxy ... you could try out these 2 cabs at this thread ( 1 for disable ... the other is for enable )
look towards the end of the post ..."Sleuth255" had provided the cabs for you Tilt owners to fix the hidden proxy that is involved with AT&T Tilt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1656670&postcount=1
if it works ... holler so that other Tilt owners can benefit !

Nice I downloaded the cabs. But before I launched them I took a look at my tilt for another second.
Keep in mind that I just did a hard reset and this is a stock att ship ROM.
Under start> Programs>Tools> There is a icon called proxy manager.
I clicked on diable proxy and did a soft reset. The problem is now fixed. I can browse the net while connected via usb through pass Thru.
Maybe the cabs do not need to be downloaded afterall as att already has them installed but thank you for the lifesaver!
Thanks people!

Hi,
I also used proxy manager to disable the proxy. Now whenever i connect my phone with activesync, it keeps connecting to the phone's GPRS (mediaNet). i look under the connections icon and it shows medianet connected, but not activesync.
anyone know how i can fix this to return to normal? i tried enabling the proxy again, but no luck.

HI,
I think I need the opposite
At work there is a very restrictive proxy that allows pie connections but, for example, does not allow to update the weather in HTC HOME.
There is a WIFI nearby that allows it...
Now, what I would like is to have my device ActiveSync'ed (so contacts, and so on are OK) while using WIFI for ineternet access...
Anyone knows if it is possible and how?
Thanks

Problems with Activesync passthru internet

I have my PDA plugged into my PC at work and I have to use a proxy to get out to the internet. I am trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have added the registry entry on my PC.
I have set the connection settings in activesync including "This computer is connected to:" to all 3 options
I have tried to set up the proxy on my PDA
I have tried both WM6.0 and 6.1 ROMs
I have tried different radios
I have searched the Forums but if I missed something let me know
Any help would be great

Here is the solution:
Open Registry Editor on your desktop (Start/Run and type "regedit") and locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services. Right-click on the value list
and choose New/DWORD value. Type the name "AllowLSP" and leave the value zero.
Disconnect and connect your device and Pocket Internet Explorer (and all other

I already disabled the network functionality for activesync. I also did the registry update mentioned above. If I go to pocketIE it will act like it is trying to load then it will say "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later"
It seems like it goes to the DNS and gets the IP but from there it stops working.
Intranet sites work but not Internet sites. Any idea on the proxy settings?

So, are you trying to get your phone's internet source to work on your phone while connected to your PC? Or are you trying to get the internet FROM your PC to work ON your PPC?

I am trying to get the internet working from the pc to the pda.
I tried this ROM and it seems to be working now.
You still have to go into connections and set it to "my work network" and then edit it and add the proxy settings.
Thanks for the help.

Internet while connected to Activesync..

Hi all,
I am on Dutty's apr-29 rom and here is my issue..
My kaiser is connected to my work pc with activesync installed and i am unable to use internet on my device... I can update htc weather with no worries but the pie and skyfire doesn't work... the strange thing is that netfront browser works just fine so iam not sure if its a proxy issue or not???
I would like to use skyfire if possible so pls let me know what can i do to make it work.
Thanks alot

First thing I'd try is to reboot the computer AND soft reset the phone. If that doesnt work, try disabling advanced network... under connections usb to pc.
ps- in the future, its recommended NOT to start a new thread for something like this, but post it in the rom's thread (duttys in your case)

hi, i have the same problem...but I still using the standard ATT rom...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, I tried what you suggested but still no luck..

I honestly don't know...the fact that you are able to update the weather but not others has me stumped. Has it always behaved this way? Can you do a complete system backup using sprite and hard resest, before you restore, connect it to activesync (you do not need to configure it to sync with your device, iow just cancel the first screen) and see if you can use pie or check your email. If you can then there must be a problem with your settings somewhere, but if you cant then just use sprite for a full system restore and you should be back to where you were and maybe someone else can help.
For what its worth when I first got my tilt it would not use the internet no matter which way I tried (ota or activesync). Then it magically just started working.

hello once again,
Ok so here is the thing... i played around with it a bit more and was able to get pie to work.. but everything else still doesn't work (windows live, skyfire, etc..)
I went to connections>>advanced>>select network>> on this screen i selected "My ISP" for the top menu and "My Work Network" for the bottom menu... By making this change pie is now working but still no luck with skyfire..
Note: i do not have a data plan so MY ISP menu is empty, i usually use skyfire with wifi or when connected to my laptop at home
PS: I didn't do a hard reset because i dont think it has anything to do with rom upgrade...i have flashed my device like 47 times in last 2 months and have had the same issue with every rom i've tried including the original htc rom. Everything works jsut fine when when my device is connected to my laptop at home using activesync.

I think you would still have the problem after a hard reset. Mine has the problem now on the standard Tilt ROM. The wierd part is it didnt when I first set it up and was running the internet through cerdisp. I guess I need to look into it too, but I havent been going crazy trying to find it.
What version of activesync are you using?

Iam using Activesync 4.5..

Have you tried disabling your windows firewall?

Dumb Question
If the phone is connected to your work PC, why would you use the browser on the phone and not the work computer?
If you are worried about what the boss might see - here's the problem with that - can't they just monitor the server traffic anyway, whether you use the phone or the computer, since you would be using the work's server?
What i do at work - first make sure there are no keyboard loggers - second use the internet on the phone and disable the ethernet on the computer.
I remember an option somewhere in the syncing process about allowing income data connections - I dont know exactly what it does, but i will try to find it and post something
EDIT - it was an option to allow wireless incoming data to phone while connected to activesync.

If your talking about tethering, then you're doing it wrong.
Make sure your Activesync isn't connecting to your phone in the first place. Turn off the "USB" connect in the settings for Activesync.
THen go on your phone and open up the "windows" and look for a file called "intshr" or something like that. Open it up and then hit connect.
You don't need to change any settings for the Media Net if you're using the AT&T rom.

Well the only reason i wanna use my device and not the work pc is beacuse all the major sites like hotmail, youtube, facebook are blocked but they all work on my device using "only" netfront browser..

Make sure your Activesync isn't connecting to your phone in the first place. Turn off the "USB" connect in the settings for Activesync.
THen go on your phone and open up the "windows" and look for a file called "intshr" or something like that. Open it up and then hit connect.
You don't need to change any settings for the Media Net if you're using the AT&T rom.

you must edit the registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

webcamera plus 2.0

Hi xda'ers. I'm really hoping someone out there can help me. I've got an AT&T tilt. I purchased some software called webcamera plus by Ateksoft. It doesn't seem to work though. It won't connect the ppc to the pc through active-sync...although it should. my tilt just keeps trying to connect to a certain IP address. On my pc, it shows the software as waiting for a connection. I never get past that point. Would anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 things to check would b that the phone is set for advanced network functionality and also the same setting on pc's activesync. If not test ip address with ie? on pc to check for responce.

Also make sure you have the port settings right, and port forwarding may be needed (most likely will be). I'm using it and it works great.

um, try this:
if you're using it with wlm for example, start the webcam on the phone, and the annoying lil box will come up and it will look for an ip address, THEN send your webcam on wlm, nothing will happen...so cancel the webcam on the phone, (just press the action button to make the annoying lil box go away)....then try starting the webcam again, from your phone. it should then immediately find the ip address. it's really gay software!
hope this helps.

I'm having a similar issue, and the fix above didn't work. I've got "Auto-detect IP Address" unchecked, put in my laptop's network IP (192.168.2.6), forwarded port 2047 to 192.168.2.6 on my router...still nothing. It just endlessly tries to connect and the attempts counter just keeps ticking up, meanwhile my computer still says "Waiting for connection...". Am I doing something wrong here? Even if I check "Auto-detect IP Address", it does the same thing except it says "IP: 169.254.2.2" instead of "IP: 192.168.2.6" in the window. Do I need some kind of firewall setting or something? This has me stumped.
EDIT: I changed it so port 2047 forwards to 192.168.2.7 (my phone's LAN IP) and disabled my firewall. Still no dice.

I bought the app last tuesday and after a few tries I deleted it......it's buggy as hell.,,,waste of money.

First, ensure you've installed the desktop software correctly. It loads the video device driver so Webcamera Plus will show up as an available video device in capture programs. Also I'm assuming here that you've properly installed the latest application on your phone. If you haven't go to the Ateksoft website and get the latest version.
Next verify that you have a working Activesync connection between your PC and phone. Some have indicated it's necessary to disable advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel (under Start > Settings > Connections). You're mileage may vary, and seems dependant the ROM. I'm running the Faria WM 6.1 and I don't even see this option and the program still works fine on my system. Now connect your Kaiser to your PC.
Now launch your video capture program, or chat program that uses a webcam, or whatever you'd like to use Webcamera Plus with. You should be able to choose your video source, and if you've installed the Webcamera Plus desktop software correctly you should see it as an available video source. Choose it.
Finally, start the Webcamera Plus application on your Kaiser. Go to Menu > Settings > Network. Check the box to "Autodetect IP". If you're going to use Activesync instead of a TCP/IP connection then this must be checked. Click "Done", and then "Start". You should be connected!
If not then check the firewall settings on your PC. Maybe reinitialize the capture device in whatever program you're using on your PC to view the Webcamera Plus image / video stream. Good luck!

Your Kaiser is connected to your LAN via Wifi also, yes? In other words, both your laptop and your Kaiser are on the same network. If so, then you were on the right track setting up port forwarding to your laptop's IP address. If you have the right laptop IP address set in the Webcamera Plus software (on the phone), and the same port specified as you setup in your router, then it should work. If it doesn't then you may have a software firewall blocking your connection.
If you're phone is NOT connected to your LAN via Wifi then you're using the wrong IP address (192.168.2.6). You need to use your WAN IP, not your LAN IP, in the phone's Webcamera Plus network settings. If that doesn't work, and you're sure your router settings are correct, then you should probably take a close look at your firewall logs. Or try disabling it altogether for test purposes.

I ended up getting a different program which worked better, but the FPS was pretty crappy either way and the camera cut out every few seconds. Looking at actual webcam alternatives now instead of being cheap Thanks for your replies though, I appreciate it.

is this software freeware?
hi is the software webcamera v2.0 freeware or does it expire after a set amount of usage and then you have to pay? thanks
