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.

I have already search this site/ it doesn't give me solution for what i need to do, or i haven't understood what it really says. so please bear and help me if possible.
Situation is -
Two desktop PC
One Kaiser
PC-1 is connected to Dial-up Internet
Wifi Router (D-link) attached to PC-1 for Kaiser's Internet access
I need to use My wifi transmitted Internet signal in to Desktop PC 2 (I don't want to install additional Wifi Lan card in PC-2)
I want to use kaiser's Wifi + Activesync to use the internet on PC-2
Is it possible ???
Thanks
1) Activesync internet passthrough only works the other way
2) If you are prepared to do a reg hack, then you can share your internet connection using ICS from your device to your pc (as it only works via BT or USB normally).
BUT you will need to undo the hack whenever you want to use it any other way...
3) It would be a hell of a lot simpler to buy a USB wifi dongle for second pc though...
Thanks
Thanks for info
These might help you.

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

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.
Hello all.
I have googled, searched xda and tried all to get internet sharing to work, via usb, but fail all the time. It is supposed to just work but does'nt. For me.
Any help please?
regards
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose my network or whatever the native network profile is called
rather then my isp or whatever your isp profile is called
should mean that when your phone is connected to activesync
or vista's sync tool
it gets the same network as the computer you're connected to
make sure you have synced your x1 with the activesync software that comes with it then try it make sure you got signal aswell cuz it will not connect without. i use vista and it connected fine it just added another network to the ones i could connect to and obvusly it was the phone so i saved it that way when i plug it in it works straight the way. hopefully this helped
just plug it in and start internet sharing on your x1
Probably want to check your PC network status>>properties>>Advanced and check on "Allow other network users to connect...."
And go to X1 settings>connections>usb to pc and clear(if any) check mark on the 'enable adv network' if having problems.
Are you trying to connect your PC to the Internet through your phone or your phone to the internet via your PC?
doesnt necessarily belong here but since people are reading this thread - how can I do the following:
My laptop is connected to landline broadband connection via cable. Now I want to start a wireless network on my computer and let my xperia connect to. When connected to the laptop ... I want the xperia to be able to use the laptops internet access as well be able to access files that I have given network permission to e.g. movies for example.
There has got to be a way of doing this. So far all i can do is create a wireless network and let my xperia connect to it .. however nothing happens after that .. I cannot access files nor the internet on my xperia
so anybody an idea how to do this ?
thanks
I think you might need a Wireless Access Point for this, although I could be wrong. I have personally never tried it, as I haven't played around with peer to peer wireless networks.
I have an Access Point at home connected to the DSL, my laptop and my X1 both connect to it and access the internet, and that works perfectly.
Sorry I am not of much help.
just create an ad hoc connection on your pc it will appear on the network list on the xperia in the properties of the ad hoc connection tick share internet or something similar
Sharing internet connection with x1
Hello guys! I need to connect my X1 via USB with my notebbok, to share the WiFi connection. The problem is that my X1 has an IP with 192.168.1.102 Ip, (From wireless), but when I connect it via USB to my PC its tooks an IP with 162.85.2.2 Ip Address.
I configured it manually, but still wont navigate trouth internet.
So I don't know hoy to configure my connection to have the same IP range with my phone from my PC.
I searched all over XDA forums, but I didn't find anything-
Please somebody can hel me please?
Regards!
Charly!
Active sync issues the IP when connected via the usb cable, leave it as it is. (ie my home wireless network for the laptop / pc / xbox etc is 192.168.0.xxx but the phone when connected to the laptop is 169.254.2.x and active sync does the routing or something). Then do what the others said about allowing the phone ot connect to the internet via active sync and it should work.

hey....i using SE x1i
I need to help for to connect mobile with laptop. No one pc suite are working, when i connect via USB cable i getting error of "your USB not recognize" I tried with various PC suite but nt getting success..My Laptop OS wind8 Plz help me any one....
I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
Ok I have been trying to use my pc connection and access that connection through my bluetooth on my kaiser, most I can get is the other way around. Any suggestions
Not sure that Internet Connection sharing in WinMo supports that...just wondering, why the heck would you want to surf the web on a 2.8" screen when you have a full PC available to you?
You can use the remote desktop facility via wifi. But as previously posted... why?! Bluetooth doesn't support a high enough datarate for it to work properly.
Connection at my location is 3G at best so bluetooth is defininitaly fast enough to accomidate my needs just simple stuff.

The best way to get the connection on your kaiser throught the pc is when you connect it using the USB and being connected to the active sync on your pc besides there are no settings need to be made for using this way. I'm not sure if you can connect the kaiser to you active sync on the pc through the bluetooth.anyway let me try it and if anything pops up, i'll let you know
Nope, no additional software required. Just go into Start - Programs - Internet Sharing. Hit connect and connect up your USB cable and you're done.
_Wait for ActiveSync to connect and then exit the programme._________________
Max confusion
What a jumble this thread has become . The O/P wanted to access the internet that's already on his PC and channel that through his TyTN II - NOT the other way around. As already mentioned in one post, one way of getting this is via an Activesync (or WMDC if it's Vista or Win 7 on the PC) connection. For greatest speed this would be via the USB cable but it is possible to have an Activesync or WMDC connection via Bluetooth for greater mobility if there's a need to carry the phone up to 10 m from the bluetooth hub. The other (more straight forward) way to do this is just to connect the phone via WiFi directly to the landline/broadband router (assuming there is a WiFi capable router avail).
Internet connection sharing is only for when the phones internet connection eg GSM/3G or HSDPA is feed to a desktop PC (say if the landline/broadband connection is down). In the O/Ps second post, the reference to Bluetooth speeds made it look like this was what was being saught.
I have done all of these with my TyTN II and had things working well in each case.
