Hotel wifi - send to a laptop without wifi - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

This is a fairly newbie question, and I know it was covered when the software was being developed for the Hermes. I used it then, but now cannot remember the name of it or find a reference to it anywhere on the forum. It isnt easy to search on such a small screen either, so apologies for taking the short route.
My hotel offers free wifi. I can connect to this wifi using my Kaiser. I want to browse the internet on a large display, ie my old Thinkpad. I connect my Kaiser to the laptop via USB and select internet sharing on the Kaiser, but only get options for sharing my 3G/GPRS connection, not the hotels Wifi. Where aren't I looking?!
Can I just make clear I am not talking about using my Kaiser as a wireless router.

WMWifiRouter can connect your Kaiser from:
- Cellular to Wifi
- Cellular to USB
- Cellular to Bluetooth
- Wifi to USB
- USB to Wifi
on your Thinkpad
I hope that helps

internet connection sharing

has anyone tried internet connection sharing via HSPDA to a PC using activesync or bluetooth yet? any issues?
I use USB/ActiveSync and it works fine.
Just follow the manual. I followed it and got no problem.
One thing though, in the manual, it said "execute 3gnetopt.exe in the PC to optimize it for 3G connection".
It seems, after that it changed the routing automatically and can slow down your internet connection when not using the ICC via PDA.
Well, that's easy, just disable the "additional" network interface in the PC.
i could get the usb internet sharing to work but bluetooth internet sharing doesnt work. my pc is able to detect a local bluetooth pan network without internet access. anyone got their bluetooth/internet to work?
I have internet sharing working via bluetooth on a tablet and laptop (both running XP). First I tried DUN and it worked which suprised me. Then I set up a PAN connection and got Internet sharing running. After that DUN will no longer work, it looks like it trys but then fails. But Internet Sharing is faster and works fine over bluetooth.
It can be tedious at first, you need to create a BT PAN Connection on the PC, you need to create a BT partnership with the Kaiser in your Bluetooth manager on the PC. You need to set the Kaiser's Internet sharing to "Bluetooth PAN" and have the Network connection set to go to your ISP's GPRS internet AP.
Once I have PAN setup on the PC, it's showing "Network Cable Unplugged"
I then Start the Kaiser's Internet Sharing and press connect, it starts a GPRS connection.
I then open the Bluetooth Manager on the PC, select the Kaiser's Connection Icon, right click and select connect.
Then the two devices connect and I'm off and running.
With 3G I have been able to answer calls and talk on my Jawbone BT headset while still connected to the PC via BT as well, pretty much MAGIC
bluetooth still cant work with those instructions, i'll just stick to USB for now.
how do I ensure that HSPDA is working and its not just 3G?
My 3G icon changes to H when it connects hi-Speed. I'm wondering what Bluetooth Stack your PC has, I had issues with my tablet and Hermes until I got new BT Drivers from Fujitsu support. Your PC may need updated BT profiles? My laptop is Dell (uses a Toshiba BT Stack), the tablet is Fujitsu (also Toshiba BT Stack). Just a thought.
On the Plus side, using a USB cable will keep the phone charged, which is good because HSPDA is a power hog anyway.
i'm using a bluetooth dongle with my PC running vista
Both USB and BT ICS work great for me. I've used it on Edge, 3G, and HSDPA.
Both USB and BT ICS work great for me. I've used it on Edge
Internet sharing only working on 2G and not 3G
I am connected right now via internet sharing using my USB cable. However, this is working only if I have a 2G signal showing on my tytnII. When I am in a 3G location, the internet sharing program sits with the message "waiting for network"....this is just after the message "checking USB cable".
I have tried many things including a hard-reset, not having a full sync relationship between the PC, just connected etc. All to no avail.
I am using a new Dell laptop running Vista Ultimate.
Unlike previous PDAs I've had, I don't know a way to force the tytn II to stay on 2G, so when I am at work in a 3G environment, I cannot get internet sharing to work.
Help!

Use Kaiser as Router??

I was thinking of using my kaiser to connect my pc to a wireless network,
I have a wireless router in my house but i dont have a wire that goes to my room, so i want to connect my Kaiser via usb to the computer and the Kaiser to the wireles router via WIFI so i can use the internet in my room in my computer.
Is it Possible?
I have a wireless modem option on my dutty 6 hybrid rom. I would think that that option could be tweeked to add an option to use wifi instead of cellular and then you would be able to recieve over b.tooth and wouldnt need a cable either. I would donate and then ask one of the devlopers very nicely if they knew of or could write a tweek for me. But thats just what my plan of attack wood be
It is possible and there is a reg hack that allows wifi sharing over ICS - but sticking a wifi usb dongle in the pc would be a lot easier.
As a second thought, it dawned on me that i hacked a linksys wrt54gs and changed the flash/os to dd-wrt`s 3rd party software
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
By switching to dd-wrt i then had an option to make the AP a wireless bridge and thats how i connect my slingbox to my network. I would recommend that anyone with a linksys router re-flash to this 3rd party software which enables TONS of features to this device. Hope this helps. PEACE!!
These might help you.

holy crap !
the jongma thing works perfectly with dutty's rom.
im amazed, my computer is connected to the internet via wifi signal that my phone is broadcasting. thats incredible.
on 3g its fffffffffffast!
Is there any way to use wifi instead of 3G etc? I have a Wii here at school with wireless. It wont connect to the schools wireless network because of the routers used. Im thinking if I could use the Kaiser to brodcast wifi and connect the Wii that way then maybe it would work? Any thoughts?

sharing my desktop internet TO my diamond?

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
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
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.

Kaiser as wlan router using PC-conection

Is it possible to use the Kaiser as wlan-router? I got a cablemodem for my computer. Now when I connect Kaiser via USB I can use the connection.
Can I share this connection via wifi of the Kaiser? (wifi is not available when connected to usb!)
Look for WMWIFIROUTER
Thanks a lot, thats it!
I heard of the prog brefore, but didnĀ“t that it has so many features.
I purchased Walking Wifi Hotspot. Works good and has all the features that you could need.
Jim
So those allow you to use your phone as a wireless bridge with your PC? I thought it only used the cell data connection.

Access Internet on Kaiser via PC

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.
