Hi all, no matter what I do I cant get it to work!! I have followed these directions to the letter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288753
I can't figure out if these directions are supposed to work for the TyTn II also. Al=nyways if anyone has sucess with teathering the tilt could you give me some pointers. I get the drivers installed corectly and all the steps up to the tes of the connection but it will not pass the test.
on my tilt, there is a file called internet sharing under the windows folder. Create a shortcut to your start menu\programs folder. Clicking on it will allow you to connect your laptop via usb to your tilt and get internet access.
I simply use WMWirelessRouter and tether my laptop by connecting to my kaiser wirelessly. Works fine.
i use a program called wmwifirouter v.91
works great an lets you teather using wifi so you don't need the cable. the developer stpped distriuting it but if you searh around you should be able to find it still, there is whole thread about it in the development and hacking section in the main forum

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.
Hi
I am missing the original CD that shipped with my AT&T Tilt Package. Would anyone be kind enough to upload the USB Modem drivers available on the CD please.
I have read the Wiki and I have looked over the forums for it, all I could find were the Vista Drivers for the same, but not the XP divers.
Thanks for looking.
do you have the latest version of Microsoft Activesync installed? If not, you should download it from Microsoft.com and it should be ready to sync.
I do not need ActiveSync
Hi
I already have ActiveSync 4.5 installed. HTC USB Modem drivers are different, they allow the kaiser to act as a dial-up modem that we can connect to a laptop computer.
Although we can use the 'Internet sharing option' in Kaiser for the same purpose, I just wanted to experiment with this alternative.
I am sure the drivers are available on the AT&T CD, I just need someone to upload it here.
IntShrUI
Hey, I have a Tilt too. I was messing around using the Tilt as a modem. I have the drivers, but I couldn't get the Tilt to dial right. I found on this forum a program called IntShrUI. It is in the Windows folder of your Tilt. Just run it and follow the onscreen instructions. You don't have to dial anything. Just plug the Tilt into your computer, click connect on the Tilt, and the internet is up. I can give you more info, I am looking for the thread. I can upload the drivers when I get home too if you want to go that route.
Thanks
Your method of connection is good, but I do not have a data plan. I guess it works if you have a data plan or something.
What I am doing is, I am making a voice call over the GSM network to a free dial-up number. The speeds are VERY slow, about 7-8kbps, but it does work.
Oh and if the number we dial isn't free, then we will be charged for the duration of the voice call. I know its low tech, but its free for me and it actually works.
Thanks for replying.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I used to do that too. Just making a data call to my ISP to get the internet. I will attach the drivers from my AT&T CD. The folder is labeled Vista, but I am pretty sure these are what I used and that they work with XP. I will test it when I figure out where my dumb USB cable went.
Thanks again
Thank you for the drivers jeff. After tinkering a lot with the WModem application, I believe that the HTC Kaiser cannot be used as a conventional dial up modem.
The only way to overcome this problem is to use 'Internet sharing' in Kaiser and specify a connection there itself. The only disadvantage here is, we cannot use the dial up services like NetZero that require us to use their custom dialers.
If anyone has a solution to this, please make a suggestion.
Has anyone tried the Vista 32bit driver on XP? Does it work?
Vista drivers do work
Yes, the Vista drivers work under xp. The kaiser is unrecognized as 'HTC USB modem'. However, as I pointed out earlier, the Kaiser does not behave like a conventional dial up modem. Only if you have GPRS, 3G etc. you can use this method.
I'm in the same boat. I couldn't get those drivers to load.
It's unreal that you can't find USB drivers for this phone anywhere on the Internet for XP.

i don't mean to criticize or anything, but you have a $400 phone, unlimited internet for the phone is like $20, why not just do that? or do pda unlimited for $50 and you get unlimited sms too, i just don't get shelling out a full paycheck for a phone and not the extra few bucks to optimize it

I had no problem getting these drivers to work on Vista and XP. All you need to do is launch Internet Sharing while your phone is connected to the PC, and when the driver prompt comes up, point Windows to the folder where you stored the drivers.
Under Windows XP SP3, I do not even get prompted for drivers, everything loads automatically.
XP 8925(tilt) ICS usb driver
I'm trying to get my 8925(tilt) connected for ICS on my girlfriends' parents' computer running XP sp 1 via usb.
It tries installing a 'generic IRNDS' (something like that), but doesnt work. I couldn't find a working driver, even when I extracted the vista drivers to a folder and tried setting it as the driver for the 8925 in the device manager. All to no avail.
Does anyone know where I can find the XP driver for whatever usb device it would be consider for ICS?
i've got all the tethering plan yadda yadda, I just need it to work, the phone is faster w/ 3g than thier ... !dial-up!!!
Needless to say we watch a lot of Jurrasic Park on VHS in full Dolby Stereo at that household. ha, no really, i need some help with this. please holla back.
@explorer82: go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Add a new modem connection.
Select "Cellular Line" as a modem, input the number, user, pass etc.
Than connect to your computer and activate ICS on your Tilt. This should do it.
@rubicant1982: as mentioned in the 2nd post, you need to install Activesync (free download from Microsoft) to be able to connect to Windows XP.

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...
flickster99
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
Hi!
I'm having trouble using my tytn II as a modem in windows vista. I had no problems in windows xp but since i installed windows vista and use internet sharing application this is what happens:
I get connected and a new networkadapter (NDIS) is detected
I recieve a local ip-adress of 169.xxx...
This is making me crazy and i've searched the forum without beeing able to find anyone with the same problem...what am i doing wrong??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I understand, you use it with USB cable, may be using it with Bluetooth will be better, because in this case Windows will recognize it as a modem.
Please provide some more information about how did you make the configuration.
Did you make it as it was described in the user guide?
Hi!
I did make the configuration exactly as the manual describes it and my device is syncing correctly and everything. It even installs as a network driver when i use the internet sharing application. But it just wont give me an ip-address...
I've had this issue for over a month now and it feels like vista is blocking the service or something, but i just cant figure it out...
PLEASE advise!
I have the same Problem as you !
As a matter of fact, I have an ip but vista says that I'm connected to local network but not to the Internet.
But at the same time I have an illimited data plan that runs perfectly when using Pocket ie...
Still searching for a solution...
But i'm sure it comes from vista...
megaman
No problems!
Hi guys.
Ive used this feature with vista with no problems at all..
Just turned internet sharing on and it connected to the network connection then vista aked me what kind of network it was (Home, Work Place etc) and hey presto it worked.
Mine is a T-Mobile Vario iii btw.
Never really had a problem either though it's much too slow compared to a "real" USB-3G/HDSPA-modem. (I max out at 1.2-1.8 mbit/s but when I use my dedicated modem I easilly reach 4 mbit/s)

Yeah this is killing me! I get the same as you, i get a IP-address but its a local one 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and vista says its a local ip-address...
I've started looking for services that may be stopped and such in Vista, but i still cant get it to work
I also can't get it to work, so if my WiFi goes out and i need internet, i just reboot to XP... Obviously not a solution, it's very annoying. I'd love to figure this out. I think my friend said he got it working, i should get details from him!
-Taylor
Guys, this is not the solution, BUT, until someone finds it, this is a awesome way to get around the problem! Just install the application, start it and tap connect. Now on your computer you'll find a new adhoc network using wifi, connect to it and your ready to go!

Hi
I am trying to set up my O2 XDA Stellar to act as a modem for the laptop, although all the information I have seen in groups indicates that to be able to do this I need to use the "Wireless Modem" application within the programs menu, although it isn't listed. I have also tried to use "Internet Sharing" but this doesn't work either.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Hi mate
You can use the Internet Sharing program to 'share' your internet connection with your PC. You need to connect it up using the USB cable and away you go.

Thanks
I was trying for ages to get this working, then I read the phone manual and found out that activesync had to be installed - that will teach me to go steaming off in the wrong direction!
Now it works fine.
Thanks
