hello,
I am using the Internet sharing to connect my laptop to the internet, the connection is slow and keep on disconnecting, do you have similar problem? any experience, solutions are appreciated
yes, i have the same problems too. it seems that it is an O2 problem and not mainly a diamond fault.

This is probably a very specific issue that I'm experiencing but hopefully someone out there can help me.
I recently got an HTC Touch Diamond, running WM6.1. I use Internet Sharing on the phone and then connect it to my PC via a USB cable. I can then browse the web from my PC. If I now connect to my office VPN, it seems that the connection times out and / or is very slow. I can't even browse to other PC's on the network via the VPN connection as it times out. But I can ping the PC's so I know I'm definatly on the network.
Now I know what everyone is thinking... our VPN might be screwy. But if I use someone else in the office's phone (running WM6.0) I can connect and there is no problem whatsoever. The only difference is that he is on a different service provider than me (and of course a different phone).
I used to have a SE M600i before this phone and it worked perfectly on that (same service provider as now).
Has anyone experienced anything simular? Or have any ideas what I could check?
I've played around abit and found the following: When I take my SIM card and put it into another HTC running WM6.0 (can't remember the model) it works perfectly and I can browse our intranet sites over the VPN. So the problem is definatly limited to my phone.
I also used Internet Sharing on the other phone and then established the VPN connection from my laptop. I didn't change any of the settings so it is 100% the same on both phones as download from the service provider upon insertion of the SIM card.
On my phone when I'm connected to the VPN I can browse the network shares and download email, but as soon as I try and browse our intranet websites or try to connect to any database (using TOAD etc.) it doesn't seem to be able to retrieve data. Almost like the phone is not able to handle large amounts of data coming through... (i'm just guessing here)
Anyone know of any setting somewhere on the phone that could cause this to happen?
Finally got this working!!
I'm now using WMWiFiRouter to use my phone as a WiFi router and then connect to the internet from my pc. If I then connect to the VPN from my PC everything works fine.
I'm not sure if WMWiFiRouter implements Internet Connection Sharing differently than the normal ICS app on the phone, but it seems to work and it's pretty fast.
Can't believe it took two months - with absolutely no else seeming to have this issue - but I'm glad it's over now!!

Hi
I've got a problem with a Diamond which keeps losing it's connection to our wireless network. The Diamond is used in a school with multiple wireless access points and a WPA-TKIP key. The Diamond works fine for a short while then loses it's connection and asks for the network key. Obviously this is quite a major problem when a person is trying to sync etc. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the problem and how it can be fixed?
I have the Fuze and I have tried many ROM's on my Fuze but when it comes to me connecting my phone to the laptop and use internet sharing everything works fine as far as connecting. My issue is that after connecting it only allows me to go to google.com and use it's search engine to pull up it's results but no other pages. I changed out my sims card to my Kaiser and the Internet Sharing works fine and goes to any site. The only way I can use my Fuze to share it's internet is to use WMWifirouter. Anyone else have this problem?
i cant even connect, so you made if farther than i
I used to be able to share my Trinity's net connection with my computer using Internet Sharing over Bluetooth PAN, and it was working well- 2x faster d/l speed than WMWifiRouter and with less drain on the battery.
But I wanted USB sharing , which didn't work under WM5 so i flashed a WM6 ROM under the naive assumption that a Microsoft upgrade would actually improve things... Then found out , to much wailing and gnashing of teeth, that not only does USB sharing still not work (I'm on a Mac), but that Bluetooth PAN Internet sharing also doesn't work under normal WM6 . It goes online for a few minutes then the carrier drops the connection... I guess that something in WM6 tells the carier (vodafone) that I'm tethering and disconnects me.
WMWifiRouter still works, but with the same high drain on the battery.
So, USB internet sharing is out for Mac, and the only option under WM6 is WMWifiRouter, which is too inefficient.
I' d rather have the old Bluetooth PAN functionality, which was twice as fast as WMWFR for some reason.
Do i need to go back to WM5, is this safe to do, or is there an alternative WM6 ROM with the issue fixed?
I searched the forum for hours but cannot find a clear solution.
Thanks for your time.
On my Kaiser (UK Vodaphone branded, with stock HTC WM6.1 ROM/Radio) I am having some problems using the internet, both through the phone and on my laptop via internet sharing.
I am able to use the internet/internet sharing for one session (one connection and disconnection of GPRS for lack of a better description), before it will stop working. The GPRS will still connect, but I cannot get any data transfer to happen unless I do a soft reset. The internet/internet sharing will then work again for one session.
Obviously this is frustrating. Does anyone have a fix, or know what is happening?
