Tethering Diamond to Ubuntu Intrepid - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

So has anyone on here managed to get a Diamond (or any wm6 phone for that matter) to tether via USB to Ubuntu Intrepid. I got it to work on Hardy with usb-rndis-lite fine but now it seems more difficult. What's weird is I can get them tethered and get an IP assigned from the phone and even resolve domian names with DNS but I just don't get any websites to load. I'm baffled... Maybe it's just a weird routing setting or something with the updated Network Manger. Any help would be appricaited so a link or something to tell me where to look would be great. Thanks guys

MDA III VPN problems

Hi there!
I have a t-mobile mda III for two months. It had the original latest rom released by t-mobile (TMUK 1.42 1.12 1.13.00). I tried to connect to my university's network with wlan, but i have to connect there by VPN too (Connections->My work network->VPN). It worked really good without any problem. But I downloaded the Helmi's wm5.0 rom and i upgraded it. My phone didn't work, so i downgraded back the official TMUK rom, but since that i can't connect to VPN. Everything else is okwith the pda, but i can't use the internet in the university (that connects to the network, but i can't use it without VPN). I think the upgrade and downgrade deleted or changed something in registry or something, i don't know, so please help me!!!!
Really thanks!
It won't be the registry, as the hard resets during the upgrade/downgrade should zap the registry.
VPN has a million things that can go wrong. Access to the server logs would likely point you in the correct direction. I actually gave up on the ipsec/l2tp implementation and switched to using OpenVPN. Far easier to set up, but probably not much use to you as you are limited to what the uni has.
Really thanks for OpenVPN, but i can't use this. I don't know how to use this exactly. In the uni is PPTP vpn, not IPSec, so could you give me some advice about programs to use it.
THX
Personally, I use a Linux server and this page (and others on the site) has been invaluable:
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-pocketpc.html
The built-in client on the PPC supports L2TP/IPsec and PPTP. OpenVPN is completely different and incompatible with either. This page contains info on all of the varieties of VPN:
http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/linux-vpn.php
As you are using PPTP, you should be able to follow guidelines for OpenSWAN, as I believe it supports PPTP. The first link I posted has info for the pocket pc.
These pages should help you out somewhat. I'd recommend setting it up on a desktop first as you will be able to see the client logs. Once you get it working, you may have figured out something specific to your university that you need to set.

using tytn II as modem in vista

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!

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!

Windows Live

I have had a few issues with my windows live and i am wondering if anybody can help me. I recently downloaded windows live and i am able to syncronize everything and log onto my messenger via wifi or activesync but not able to through GPRS. I dont know if i may have downloaded the wrong .cab file or havent done something to make it work. I would appreciate any help regarding this subject.
thanx in advance
Here is a Windows Live version wich has been fixed by one of our forum members.
This fixed version allows you to use WLM via GPRS, And it'll be displayed on the home screen. Properly i mean
Excellent thank you im going to xfer it to my phone and see what outcome i get. Thank you very much.
Well i have tried to apply the appication and it did go through however i tried to access Windows Live throught the GPRS but it is only able to access through wifi and activesync... I'm thinking the reason why is because i dont have the T-mobile internet i have the proxy settings and t-zones. i am still able to access any website but not able to get the windows live to work properly... im stumped.

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

Problems With Remote Desktop Connection

Has anyone run into an issue connecting to their PC from their Tilt after installing Service Pack 3 for XP? I read somewhere there was an issue with RDC and they suggested swapping out the mstc.exe and mstcax.dll from service pack 2. I tried that, and im still unsuccessful connecting to my PC.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
I have no problems with it..
You should try it with hamachi to be sure if its an firewall or not.
Run hamachi on your mobile, and also the pc, and check it out
RDC Help
Has no one else expereinced this problem. It just seems so strange that it worked perfect right before the SP3 Install. Has anything changed in WM6.1? Im just wondering if there is maybe a registry hack that I might need to enable or disable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Did you read my post ?
RDC Help
Yes I did, The problem was that my IP Address that was given by my router to the PC changed. Then I had to reopen 3389 using the different 192.x.x.x address. Thank you though for your help. This is the best site for information on your PDA Phones.
Thanks To Everyone who has kept this site up and running.
