I have an AT&T Tilt running its original ROM. Is there a way to change the Comm Manager to have a shortcut to Internet Sharing instead of Wireless Modem? I replaced the Comm Manager with a nice touch style one, but it still shows Wireless Modem, so I assume there is somewhere in the registry which tells Windows which one to use by default for this type of task. Does anyone know how to change it?
Bump...It's been awhile since this question was asked and I'm looking for the same thing. Anyone have any ideas yet?
Has anyone found a way?
where is Internet Sharing?
I'd like to give ICS a try instead of using wireless modem.
I have the original ROM. Where should I find Internet Connection Sharing?
I've looked in Start > Programs, and it's not there. If it is not on my phone, can I add it?
Thanks, Bren

If its not there, its hidden in your My Device/Windows directory. Its there, you just gotta look. On mine its called Internet Sharing. You can then create a shortcut to it and place it in your programs or start menu.

download both AdvancedConfig_v1.1.CAB and AdvancedConfig_v1.0.CAB from http://xda.scan4.us/index.php?sort=date&order=desc&path=Cabs/ and change it from there
Internet Connection Sharing
Thanks for your responses to my post. I did find the app in my Windows folder. It's called IntShrUI.exe. I pasted a shortcut of it into my Start Menu > Programs folder. I haven't been able to figure out how to configure my PC to make it work.
I've been researching in the forums how to configure a PC to use the internet connection of my phone. My PC doesn't have Bluetooth, so I would like to use the USB connection. Most of the postings are how to configure for Bluetooth.
If you know where to find a good explanation, please post the link for me. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I want to use the phone as a back up connection if my cable connection goes down.
I have been successful using my phone with AT&T connection manager on my computer, but I have a problem with that. I have Virtual PC installed on my computer, and the network configuration of Virtual PC doesn't recognize the AT&T Connection Manager as a network card, so my VPC doesn't have access to the internet through my phone.
I'm hoping that with Internet Connection Sharing, the network adapter on my PC will still be used, and access the Internet through the gateway on my phone.
Thanks, Bren

There are 2 ways to get it working over USB. Either get the USB modem drivers working, (Which I have never been able to do) or use windows dial up networking. I have connected my Tilt to the AT&T 3G data network with the Windows xp Professional DUN interface. When I get home I'll copy my DUN settings and post them here. Its the same settings I used to use to teather my Motorola V551 for data. I accidentally clicked on DUN a few weeks ago while the Tilt was connected and it worked with the same settings.
Of course, I do have a USB Bluetooth dongle, and getting ICS working is easiest with BT. All you have to do for that is set up a pairing between the 2 devices, and create a BT Personal Area Network.
-Jay
I got it working
Thanks, Jay.
I pieced together information I found about ICS, and I got it working. It works with my Virtual PC because Windows XP puts a Network Connection in the Network Connections folder that I can use to create a Virtual Network in the VPC configurations.
When my phone is connected to my computer via USB, and I open Internet Connection Sharing app on the phone, and then connect to the phone's data network, the Network Connection is automatically created in XP.
I'm not sure what was missing, but when I tried this earlier on my laptop, it didn't successfully automatically install the Generic RDNIS driver that my desktop did successfully install. I'm going to try it again on my laptop. On my laptop, I do have bluetooth, and I will try to get that working instead of USB.
I'm wondering, is there any advantage to using AT&Ts Communication Manager instead of Internet Connection Sharing?
Thanks again for your response.

I would think that the advantage is that they then know for a fact you are teathering, and can be exxxxtra sure you are being "properly billed" on an "appropriate" data plan that probably costs at least $60/mo

Ok, I found the Cingular / AT&T DUN settings on my computer.
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1 (This is case sensitive!!!)
Number to Dial: *99***3#
I also always max out the port speed in the modem configuration so the port doesn't restrict a nice fast HSDPA connection.
This will work for Bluetooth or USB modem connections.

aparently i have no COM ports avaible, so i cant browse the internet. im not sure how to fix this, but im also not sure if it's just a problem on my kaiser? when i try to go on the internet it tries to connect to 3G, but i want to use active sync
You want to connect to the internet through your home pc via usb/BT?
You might want to try this.. I'm not SURE, just offering a suggestion.. someone can confirm/bunk this either way..
Start|Settings|Connections|Connections
One of the settings there might work for you,
If not.. theres a Little blue Question mark in the top right that actually has some pretty in depth info..
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, but it's a start.
Is ActiveSync actually working for you? I mean... is your Kaiser synching with your PC?
If activesync is working fine, try this on your PC (not on your Kaiser).
Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Create a new DWORD data type called "AllowLSP" and set it to 0
Plug your Kaiser again and let me know if it worked.

if i'm reading right you want to use internet sharing using usb or bluetooth and browse the internet using your PC?? is it?
1.first open setting in your active sync then uncheck allow the usb connection .
2.plug in the usb cable to ur pc and kaiser
3.open the internet sharing in your kaiser end select conection typ usb or bluetooth.
4.connect. (your computer will be installing rds driver automaticcaly)
5.then you'll have a gprs internet trough your pc
note you must have gprs/3g connection available in ur network.
in ur pc in the internet connection option makesure you select direct connection if you use firefox/opera.
Hope this solve your problem.

You are wanting to browse IE on your phone using the Activesync usb or BT connection (phone uses PC's internet connection for data) am I correct in thinking that?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'No comm ports available' as your WM device connects via USB?
Sorry if these steps may seem a bit condecending but best to check all.
1, Has your PC got a working internet connection (can you browse IE on your PC) ?
2, Is Activesync actually working (your contacts and mail are sync'ed) ?
3, In connection settings on Activesync (PC) you need 'Allow wireless connection' unchecked (Checked for tethering, PC goes through phone 3G) or phone will try to go through any data connections of its own first.
4, On your WM device under 'Settings' 'Connections' 'USB to PC, check the 'Enable advanced network functionality'
Hope this helps.
I have a similar query, I can use my PC's internet connection from home, but when I connect to my work PC it does not. Now I know this is down to the fact that my Work PC uses a proxy server, but how do I add this info in to my Tytn2.
Hi Farsquidge,
I have followed your steps above, but when I try to connect to IE on my device, I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
Any ideas?
Also, many thanks for the widespread advice you have given throughout the fora - it has really helped me get the most of out of my TyTN2!

Your welcome.
Is your device an 'out of the box' HTC device that was not bound to a carrier contract? Some carrier (ie. AT&T Vodaphone) seem to have settings within the ROM (seen in other threads) that tie you in to only using their settings (ie Media.net) and using a proxy that cannot be changed for IE only for GPRS connections.
Anyone got ideas on this one.
Unfortunately, Orange UK got their hands on my TyTN2 before I did! Perhaps that's the source of my problems?

Are Orange UK (I am from UK but living abroad now) still wanting to promote their own Internet?
I know only last year a pal of mine said he could not connect his Nokia through his home WiFi because it would not connect via his BT Internet.
Check if you have a proxy connection set up on your GPRS cause ya never know!!!
I can connect to any Wifi network and access webpages without problems. Doesn't seem that there are any restrictions from that point of view. Thanks for the help - guess it's not really a problem not having Internet access via ActiveSync, as it connects to the Wifi network.
i guess i shoulda been more specific.
i wanted to browse the internet on my kaiser, using the active sync connection. however it wasnt working, but now ive re-installed opera and it works with that, not sure if it works with IE yet.
installed Opera and still no hope.
my tytn II is out of the box, not on any contract with an operator. can any one please help me..
I have a tilt and i'm trying to get it setup to get on the internet on my laptop via usb, i have the usb connected to my laptop and i see active sync comes up, i went to the connection settings under file and try to connect, but it doesn't, i see usb under one of the options and i select it and hit connect and it tries to connect but doesn't, i don't get any error message or anything, just no connection. i have the unlimited data plan, but no tethering, but from what i've read on here you don't need the tethering if you aren't going to use it much. any tips on how to get the net on my laptop doing this?
Try reading the Wiki. Your answer is there.
...And try searching next time.
I read somewhere you can use the diamond as a modem for a laptop, but i cant seem to get it working. Also i cant find any setting for this.
Has anybody experience with this?? please advice
Well, I don't know about a modem per se, but if you want to use your phone's internet connection to connect to the Internet from your PC, do the following:
Before connecting the Diamond to your PC, start the "Internet Sharing" app (located in Start - Programs). You can select Bluetooth for your PC connection, but it will drain the battery on your phone in NO TIME. Select USB, and then select the network connection you use to connect to the Internet on the phone itself (the default will usually suffice), and then click Connect. This will start the app, at which point you can plug it into your PC and your PC should do the rest.
I use as a modem regularly. I have not found the need to start Internet Sharing before connection....just connect in the normal way, letting ActiveSync do its thing as you have told it to. Just watch after you have finished that the link drops...I forgot once and it cost me! I use MoDaCo Nodata to prevent any unwanted connections. You can also set long-prees-end-key to kill the connection.

diamond as a modem
i would like, for instance, to replace my home internet connection by using the ''diamond'' as a modem, but it gets so hot after few hours. there is some space for development there and its worth it.
PS. asus p750 do better
I would like to know how i can use the device as a modem to send a fax via my laptop?

you can't do much about this other than NOT letting for 3+G at all.

On my ROM what I´m usin right now there are three options after connecting with pc - the 3rd is internet sharing And it connects without any probs
You have to launch the internet sharinf manually in program list or in the connection tab of the setting of Windows Mobile
In my first ROM I had the 3 options when I connect the USB, with the actual I only have the two (active sync and hard drive)
Do someone know the way to activate the choice when I connect the USB ?
thats my problem, and it havent been solved till now..
i just dont have the internet sharing option, i only have 2 options!!
I was thinking that you don't have the internet sharing program too...
Use active sync and then open internet sharing.
