Using tilt as a (wireless card) - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok, sounds stupid but here is what i want to do, connect the tilt to a computer via usb and use the tilt witch is using the signal from my wifi router to enable the computer with internet.
And as always i really appreciate the help and info xda provides.

Hummm... I would recommend you look in your manual for info about Tethering (connecting phone via USB to a laptop). You have to pay for tethering (over the air) but i dont know if you have to pay (or if its even possible) to tether using WiFi.

What you want to do is find the program shortcut in ythe \Windows folder called Internet Sharing.lnk.
Copy it & paste it to your program directory located \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, paste the shortcut there.
Launch the Int Share program, hook up to pc via usb, select usb as connection type & MediaNet as the connect to. Press connect & activesync will drop out & you will be connected. You're all done.

Is there a way to connect to phone via bluetooth?

And by that not meaning tethering or active syncing. I don't want to sync my phone. I just want to transfer a file (58mb) from my laptop to my HTC Tilt's storage card via bluetooth. Normally I use the USB cable and the phone will be detected and I can see it in Windows Explorer. Then I click on it like a drive and paste the file.
you don't have to actually "sync" it. You can disable all syncing and just use the file explorer. Or you can enable the ftp folder on your phone(under bluetooth settings). After which you can go to your bluetooth explorer on your PC then go file sharing or ftp etc. Your particular computer may be differnt than mine.

file sharing over wi fi

well i believe i have just ruined my usb cable wire
the mini end fell into my cereal bowl (with some milk left at bottom)and windows keeps popping up faulty device errors
is there anyway to send files to my device over wifi? like file sharing with other network devices?
i could do it over msn but thats annoying
I don't know about WiFi, but you definetly can achieve everything that you could with the USB cable, with Bluetooth (except for the speed).
Just tell ActiveSync to connect via Bluetooth (Menu > Connect via Bluetooth). You may need to pair the device with the PC first though.

I would also need a bluetooth device on my PC which i don't otherwise i would not have posted about WiFi file sharing
if you have it you should be able to do it by going into settings/connections/network plugins and map you pc drive to your phone,not sure on exactly how to set it up maybe theres something in the wiki?
You can find USB Bluetooth dongle's for like $10
bluetooth is to slow for normal filesharing...
have you tried the drive mapping option? dont know if its in the no thrills rom.

If you mean the USB cable is dead, it's a standard one you can find virtually anywhere. You most likely have one that came with another device, if not it will cost you a mere $2 to get one...
If you share a folder on the PC there are programs that allow you to map the share on the phone, but even then with WiFi the speed is pretty much as slow as with Bluetooth.
On the PC.. make you sure that:
1) You've something shared on your pc (in Computer resources should appear an hand under the drives, or in network resources you should see shared folders of your pc)
2) In TCP/IP settings of the connection to the AP/router, Netbios is ON
On the PPC
A)Make you sure your wifi connection is working well
B) Make you sure the network plugin is disabled
C) Use Resco Explorer, in the bottom right corner there is a button to map lan drives/shared folders, follow the instructions.
Elsewhere You can use the "network plugin, it allow you to share folders also with the pda... but i write/copy files always from pda, so i don't need of a shared folder on it (and relative service started).
Check out this post, there is a couple of tips and people you can ask for more help if needed.

Use PC + USB cable to access internet on HTC

Is there anyway to access internet on the HTC if you just have a PC connected to internet ?
using WM5 it's possible using active sync, but after i upgraded to WM6 it's not possible..
any clues ?
upgrade activsync
well....i downloaded the active sync from internet..
my IE on the desktop is using a proxy.. not sure if i need to configure something on the phone.
thanks for the reply
Is Active Sync required?
My nephew doesn't have AS installed (doesn't have a WM phone) and I wanted to be able to conect to the net without having to remember to taked an AS disk with me.
it's possible using wifi and routing the wifi from the pc to the isp
otherwise it's not possible
The only way how i know is whit bluetooth
Whenever I travel I take a bit of internet with me so I can use it in emergencies.
Another way to access the "computer's" internet over your phone is to use internet sharing from the laptop and create an ad hock wireless network between the laptop and the phone. That works great for me in places where there is no wireless but wired internet.
Check out this link if you would like to learn how to setup Ad Hoc Internet Sharing.
I can access the Internet whenever I have the HTC connected through my PC via USB and ActivSync.
Accessing the internet normally engages the GPRS data path, but with the USB to the PC (assuming the PC is connected to the 'net) it connects without engaging GPRS and routes through the PC.
It works on Vista and XP without any problems.
Another neat trick is using the HTC to allow me to access the Internet from my laptop when I'm away from the Office i.e. HTC -> USB -> Laptop -> IE Browser -> Internet. By using 'Internet Sharing' in programs folder.
Don't you just love technology !

Accessing shared bluetooth folder on PC

I am trying to access the folder that I shared in the bluetooth options on my laptop via bluetooth. I have vista, on the Tilt, i checked the FTP option and on the PC, I pointed to the directory that I want to be visible with bluetooth devices.
I cannot seem to connect to it or find any info regarding the matter...
Is this even possible?
I simply want to share my "My Music" folder so that I can see it on the tilt while connected via bluetooth and transfer music to my tilt via blutooth without having to use my PC via the drag and drop method.
Thanks

WM 6.1 | Dial up Networking

I browse the Internet on my laptop using to the GPRS/EDGE connection of my network provider and Internet Connection Sharing on my Kaiser.
I have been trying hard to establish a Dial Up Networking using either a Bluetooth or USB but with no success.
Bluetooth:
1. I make my laptop Bluetooth enable by using a BlueTooth dongle.
2. Pair the Kaiser and Laptop.
3. On my Kaiser, I cant see any service listed.
4. Though i can see that Win XP did detect a Bluetooth Modem and it installed it. When i "Query Modem" in my Control Panel for the BT modem, it does successfully query it.
5. I create a new Dial up connection and use this modem, however it never starts to connect to the GPRS.
I do have a Sony Ericsson T610, where i do exactly the same thing and the internet works like a charm.
Please can somebody explain me step by step process how to achieve this. I have read 100's of forums and imported many registry keys but it simply doesnt work. The same was the case with my Hermes(TMobile Vario II).
The ROM details are in my signature.
Thanks in advance.
Activesync?
last time i tried this, i used a USB cable and activesync was installed on my pc...it worked like a charm and the steps are oh-so-easy!!!
using a USB cable, follow these steps:
1. ensure the applications on your phone (web browsers, weather applications, etc) can use your data connection (edge/gprs) just fine
2. on your pc, you have to have either activesync installed (if you have windows xp) or windows device center (if you have windows vista)...i have only tried this with activesync so can't guide you further regarding vista
3. sync your phone and pc with activesync...just plugging in the USB cable on your phone and pc will usually get activesync going
4. on your phone, go to "Settings->Connections->Comm Manager" and hit the "Internet Sharing" button...a configuration page will open...select "USB" under "PC Connection" and whatever your data connection name is on your phone under "Network Connection"
5. hit connect!
now on your pc, check if the internet applications are working!
Note: it helps to disable ALL OTHER network interfaces on your pc from Device Manager

I dont want with Internet Connection Sharing. I want to use with Bluetooth Dial-up networking. Why? The reason is that with ICS, my screen glows permanently(even at the lowest bright option) and eats the battery. BT the screen will go off and still be connected.
True true...BUT!

that makes sense...BUT...the phone charges when it is connected to USB so Internet Connection Sharing worked well for me on my DESKTOP...but you have a laptop so it wouldn't make much sense in the long term to have your phone charge off your laptop's battery when you're on the go! i see your point!
