Figuring out ICS(NAT) capabilities for PC-to-GPRS connection

I can successfully use the machine as a modem on 2003SE, but like you, so far it has been a no-go to use it as a modem under WM5.
Then I thought:
Is that the ONLY way to make my PC use the GPRS connection to browse the web?
NO!
Windows can do ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) since windows 98, and windows mobile is a Windows CE tailored for, well, mobiles.
I digged into MSDN looking for info on whether CE had ICS capabilities or not. Turns out YES, it has.
Now, if we can find out how to enable it, we can make a BT PAN to the PC, and use the routing/NAT capabilities of CE/WM5 to browse the web.
Now, look at this, which I got on MSDN, my comments are in italic:
<snip>
Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2
Enabling NAT
The following steps show how to enable NAT for a Windows CE-based device using IPv4.
To enable NAT
1. Enable IP forwarding by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter registry key equal to 1.
2. Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\EnableAddressTranslation registry key equal to a non-zero value.
3. Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PublicInterface registry key to the public interface on which you want to enable NAT. now, where do I find THIS value?-->This value should contain a string that indicates the adapter instance for a network card, or that indicates the RAS connection name for a dial-up connection.
Now the key is where do we find the 'adapter instance or RAS connection name', so that we can try this solution.
NAT mappings expire after a certain amount of time if the mappings are not used. The default expiration time is 24 hours for TCP connections, and 1 minute for UDP mappings. You can configure these expiration times by setting registry subkeys contained under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\IPNat registry key.
The following table shows optional registry subkeys that you can use to configure these expiration times.
Code:
Code:
Subkey Description
TCPTimeoutSeconds_ Specifies the amount of time before TCP mappings expire in the NAT, if the mappings are not used.
UDPTimeoutSeconds Specifies the amount of time before UDP mappings expire in the NAT, if the mappings are not used.
</snip>
Which can be found here:

The advantage of this solution is that we won't have to stop using the PDA and opening a program to make a notebook navigate the web while on the move. In short, we cut off some bureaucracy from our connection management.

I'm looking into this now. It's possible the device name needed for the registry is similar to windows naming i.e. a string. For example, on my pc here I have several interfaces listed via "ipconfïg" such as "Ethernet adapter BT". When you manually drop/request an IP using this command, you use this string as a parameter (quoted IIRC). Looking in vxUtil under info we have several possible candidates. The seems to be a naming convention in all of the names listed with a " - " separator and two parts. Some don't have the latter part so it's a possiblity that it's vxUtil that's printing them like that and we only need the alternatives.
However, vxIpConfig has a drop-down list with all of the active connections that may seem like a better candidate for these values. I note that the BT one is "BTPAN1". The number suggests to me that these are unique values.
Here's what I think may be a possibility (from vxIpConfig):
WiFi: tiacxwln1
BT: BTPAN1
GPRS didn't appear in ipconfig even while I was downloading mail. According to vxUtil, the "current IP" listed was the same as the one listed under "Cellular Line". Hmm, not sure about that one.
Using either method, the wifi and BT ones are the same. I'm going to try this first as it should be easier.
Another thing; along with the key "Public Interface" in the registry, there is also a "Private Interface" key that may need set. The unset value may mean "all" however. That probably isn't desirable in the long term.
WRT to the packet filtering, the default on win2000 and pre SP2 XP for the basic network filter is "allow all" as far as I can understand. We probably want to switch that off just now.
I'm experimenting with a setup just now. I've got the laptop connected to a BT pan network to the phone. I've got the phone hooked up to my wifi network which routes to the net. Once ICS is running, all I should need to do is launch a "route add" command on the laptop to instruct it to send traffic to unknown networks (the default route) to make it go via BT.
If I can hit www.google.com's IP we are over the biggest hurdle. Let's see how it goes, will post back after playing around.
Once done, we don't need to bother with a dhcpd as I suggested in the other topic. That's done for us by the BT pan. However, I'm not sure if it deals with DNS so I recommend that if anyone is trying this that they stick to hitting remote ip addresses only. That's the first step that needs to be established. The phone may need a default route set, but I suspect that will be done if you can already route out over the wifi network.
EDIT:
OK, no success yet. Setting IP address manually on the BT PAN allowed me to ping the phone. The default route was set to the BT IP and the pc attempted to connect over that interface. As far as I could tell from the (limited) msdn docs on this topic, I had it enabled. I also tried changing "disabled on boot" to "0" with no success.
With the BT interface on the pc set as DHCP, I could not get an IP. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...en-us/wceics/html/_wcecomm_dhcp_allocator.asp , the mini dhcp server is limited but to be honest it seems to have most of the options you'd expect from an ICS one, even going so far as allowing static hostname/ip allocation. Interesting, that's a useful feature. I mention this because I could not get an IP. I suspect that the problem is that I simply haven't enabled ICS at all.
Are there any applications that anyone can think of that use ICS internally? ActiveSync probably does, but it'll be the pc doing the dhcp bit I'd presume. How about someone who has BT/GPRS running on another device? Can they share their related registry settings (while connected) for the keys that joe mentioned? What would be best would be the whole set of keys for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\

Actually I think it is the other way around: The BA assigning an IP address to the PC.
If I look in the IP config after I connect my BA, I see this:
Code:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, October 14, 2006 11:15:37
What would look to me that the BA is the DHCP server.
Looking in Settings\Network Cards on the BA, I see the Network card "Remote-NDIS Host" is in use with the above IP address.
So, maybe there is (limited) DHCP server allready in the WM5 OS? I guess the OS gurus may know the answer about it.

There is a mini-dhcp server, it's listed in the docs. Yes, looks like the BA is doing it under ActiveSync like you say. I'll take a look tonight at the reg keys while I've got an active activesync session going. However, using activesync doesn't enable ICS on the phone I'd imagine, so perhaps they are separate systems. I was presuming they were part of the same thing in the same way that ICS works on 2000/XP.
The DHCP server isn't required, but it saves you having to deal with manually adding routes and DNS servers. By the way, the docs also make mention of a DNS proxy which we'll need to deal with eventially.

hmm... there's a small app (Internet sharring) taken from uni rom, but we need to apply uni driver also... I'll try to make a cab of it, hopefully it'll work. In my development time of aku3.2 I've manage to enable Internet Sharring feature with Uni drivers but sometimes the gprs hv problem. we'll see about this... give me time, hopes i can do something with it.

Great to see you around, helmi!
If we have this working, the WModem app can be ditched, and we will be one BIG step closer to a fully functional ROM...
/me crosses fingers

please try this cab... I cant test it since I was in AKU2.6 , Intshare for AKU3.0 and above...

hmm... I've test with old wm3 driver for usb modem (USB Modem COM8), wmodem dont tell any error, and also at command is execute, but my computer recognized it as Unknown usb device...arrgh...

What does the cab do? Does it just set some reg keys or does it start a service? I suspect that was my problem earlier; updating the keys is not enough, you might need to make some service/application actually read them.
Unfortunately, most of my networking experience is in unix/linux, so I'm limited in how much I can help here. I know what I need to do, just not how. I know most of how Windows works WRT to configuring various network setup and so on, it's just with these pdas you are very limited in getting debug info out. Are there any good command-shells for the pda? If yes and it has access to the "route" command then we should be able to at least see if the phone thinks ICS is active.

There is a command line powertoy downloadable from MS, but it was for WM2003SE, I don't know if it will work on WM5.

Thank you, helmi_c, all works very well on your WM5 ROM with AKU3.2 (v.1.3.2 Beta)! Is is only needed to set one reg key (as mentioned is first post by Brazilian Joe):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms]
"IpEnableRouter"=dword:1
I check connections via USB and via Bluetooth PAN - all works ok!
To all who want ICS:
- Install IntShrUI.cab from helmi_c and set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter to 1 or just use .cab, that i attach to this post - this is a .cab from helmi_c to which i add a changing IpEnableRouter to 1.
- Turn off BA, wait 20 sec, then reboot.
- For the first time after each reboot you need to run "Internet Sharing" 2 times (UI is shown only on second run).
- If the PC have some kind network adapters - disable them all (except Bluetooth Network - if you connect via BT), and also you may run "route delete *" from windows command line to clear route table. This will ensure, that windows will set correct IP address of default gateway (this IP address - is a IP address of BA) after you connect BA to PC.
- On the BA, in Internet Sharing program, select PC connection type and Network connection, and press "Connect".
- Then connect BA to the PC (to USB if "PC Connection" is "USB", or connect PC to BT Network Access of BA, if "PC Connection" is "Bluetooth PAN").
- If you connect to BA via BT PAN - ensure, that BT of your PC is configured to "Allow other devices to create a private network with this computer" and NOT to "Allow other devices to access the Internet/LAN via this computer" (this is from PC widcomm stack, that i have, if you use other stack - search similar options ). If you don't do this - then you got a error from your PC BT stack... something about "not possible to make LAN if both devices configured as bluetooth access points" or like this. Also, for me, the ICS over BT is not work until a set HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parm\TcpIp\AutoCfg to 0 (the default value is 1). If for your the same - set AutoCfg to 0 too. After connecting PC to BA, BA show warning "DHCP server cannot be contacted...." but for me all works (may be because before i have successful connection via USB) ... this will need more investigation, i think ...

IntshrUI didn't start after a couple of days
I installed IntshrUI from this post and tried ICS from bluetooth on my notebook as well as on my desktop. All worked well on both the machines for the last couple of days but now ther's another problem.
Now the ICS software IntshrUI is not starting on my BA.
I checked in running processes and there are several processes by the same name intshrui each with 1kb size and they don't terminate also.
Please HELP AS I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY BA OR SOMETHING ELSE.
Tried re-installing the software after hard resetting my BA but same problem occurs.
I'm using WM5 from Aku 3.2 helmi c.

hmm
this app is not wrking. The app can't be open.. or did I miss something?

as I explained earlier please can neone help me with this?

Same thing for himalaya ?
Apologies for posting this in the BA forum but couldn't find anything in the himalaya forums.

I've been trying this too but wasn't very successful. I've tried setting up everything myself from my knowledge, but I guess that wasn't enough.
So I found a program called PDAnet. It is supposed to be an excellent program to do exactly what you're asking- connect GPRS phone to laptop to access internet. Well, I've tried this program but was not successful. For some reason I couldn't get it to work. But do give it a try yourself, it is supposed to be great.
If it works for you, maybe you can share your settings? thanks

I do this all the time, I hate the $9.95 1 day access fee when your in an airport maybe 2 hours if that.
First, ditch the USB cable and link via bluetooth. I only got my USB setup to work once and that after massive messing around. I'm assuming you have bluetooth on your lap top, I've a Dell so your set up may be somewhat different than mine.
First you want to make sure your BT radio is on, all I have to do is right click on the system tray icon and enable radio. Next bring up the BT settings manager and hit make a new connection. On the Com screen in the wizard make sure it's set to discoverable, there is a link under the settings menu bottom of the screen. If this is the first time you've paired the laptop to the Wizard then you'll need to enter the access code, in my case it is 0000 for both. On my laptop I need to go into the manual connection process otherwise it assumes I want to do a file transfer and not a modem connection. Set the connection to dial up modem, if it asks you for a number to dial it is *99# (Tmobile gprs). Thats pretty much it. The only hitch I've found is that I occasionally need to set the wizard to discoverable.
When I want to connect to the internet at admittedly slow GPRS speeds I bring up the BT manager and hit connect, it finds the Wizard, dials it into the GPRS and that's it, I'm tethered and have internet access. It's slow, kind of like a dsl line but for checking emails it's just fine. I used to have a Sierra Aircard which I could pop my SIM into and that worked great and was stable but the new laptop has an express card slot so the Aircard doesnt fit. If you have the older style port and Cingular or Tmobile you can pick these up cheap on ebay.

I'm about to install it myself and try. Will post how it goes.

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...

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!
-Taylor

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!

SOLVED - Activesync errors 80072ED/80072EE7/8502006

Since I had my tilt regardless what software (original AT&T or latest AT&T update) I was not able to sync with my work Windows XP SP2 PC. I COULD sync from a W2K PC and through the internet but NOT from the work PC.
Actually a request with MS suggested to install/upgrade USB NDIS drivers (which I did w/o success) or LOW LEVEL FORMAT HARD DRIVE due to a potential issue with the hard drive signature!!!
Weeks later I found an article in forums.microsoft.com
I followed "selecting 'this computer connects to the internet' from the 'file->connection settings' menu in activesync. It was previously set to 'automatic'." and it works like a champ.
Hope this works for others!

Welcome ...
the only thing which is not working is accessing the network through the tilt LAN interface. I didn't try a static route through the local PC yet but for what do I need it anyway - the 22" flatscreen is much nicer - LOL
PS, you CAN enable WiFi and open internal http or ftp pages if you dare.

Another thing to check
Apparently Microsoft changed the Pass through LAN for Activesync from PPP to NDIS some time in the recent past.
Some firewalls/antivirus/antispyware/IPV6 on XP settings can cause NDIS not to work and you get the activesync errors when its on the USB.
The solution was to uncheck "advanced networking" in the mobile control panet applet "USB to PC" and/or disable IPV6/antispyware/antivirus/personal firewall.
I had this problem and apparently not only did this make all the activesync errors go away, but syncing in general seemed to be much faster!

THANK YOU!
Had this issue for two months, I thought I tried everything.

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?

I have Touch2 and Qtek 8310 (and Windows 7 32bit). I've install webcamera v2.1 and the problem is that it works with Qtek but not with htc touch2. Same settings on both phones but only with qtek i get image on skype and msn. Any ideas??? (qtek has WM 6.1 and touch WM 6.5)
