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.

I have moved from a hermes to a kaiser with O's HTC WM6 rom.
I can confirm that the kaiser does use wifi if its on, even if there is an existing directpush/3g connection (unlike the hermes which would still use the 3g unless you killed it)
Hi I could connected to the internet with my 6.0, but after upgrading to 6.1 i cannot get an internet conncetion via usb (active sync).
how do you get that to work?
thanks
more info would be helpful.......for example, are you trying to share the phones internet with the pc, or the other way around. which rom are you using, and if you are using a cooked 6.1 rom, please post in that rom's thread, you are far more likely to get a helpful response that way
if you mean internet connection as, let your computer use your mobile as a modem.
Then you use the internet sharing program.
Activesync is disconnected and the sharing takes over.
Wireless activesync doesn't work either when using internet sharing.
Thought I read somewhere here recently that with 6.1 your provider can track and distinguish your data useage now while tethering..ie BILL YOU $$$ if you dont have a tethering plan
when i use Internet sharing software on my tytn II, sometimes the internet connection become very SLOW and unstable, so i used the same SIM card on Nokia N73 and tested the internet connection and it is GREAT,
is there some tricks i have to do to make the Internet sharing more stable, or is there a newer version than what i have
i am using Win 6.1 the official one...
ROM 3.29.707.0 WWE
Radio version 1.65.16.25
thank you
A lot of the time the perceived connection speed is different than what you're actually getting. Have you tried to benchmark the connection?
I'm partial to Dsl Reports for my benchmarking, they also have a mobile version if you want to test the connection on the device itself.
If you decide to try it out, post your results here.
I use internet sharing on my diamond quite a lot. Whereas sharing works fine when GPRS is used, I haven't found a way to share the wifi internet connection on my diamond with my pc. I'm not even sure whether that's possible. It would be nice if I could do that cause my laptop doesn't have wifi and I'd like to use Diamond's wifi to go on the internet with my pc when Diamond and pc are connected via usb.
Hope it makes sense, thanks
I'm not sure of any other way, but wmwifirouter allows you to do this

why not just buy a USB wireless key for your laptop. Much less hassle and probably better performance?

Well, I will soon change my laptop all together. In the meantime, I have a 5 hour wait connection flight tomorrow, so I was wondering whether there was an alternative.
Thanks for your replies

like local IP etc...little bit complicated to use it...
Did anyone get WMFI router to work on the Raphel? I have a 8525 with this and it turns the phone into a wireless any computer can connect to via wireless. I just got my new Raphel, aNT TRIED THE WMFI cab. It loads, but it keeps droping the connection. Any thoughts?
WMWifirouter works for me
My wifi router works great. I use it alot with my ipod touch for remote support (i'm in IT) since the screen is larger and I am often on the call with the person.
Depending on the version, you may have to change the battery settings so that they are disabled. That could be your problem.
you need to have the .NET 3.5 for it to work correctly, that might help.
I can vouch for it working on the raphael also. I get surprisingly good battery life with it also. Much better than on my tilt.
My HD connects to my Fuze on WMWifirouter but cant connect to the internet, keeps trying to dial out to wap.cingular. what gives?
