Hi,
i have a poorly laptop awaiting repair. no wifi or lan working.
as a temp measure, i can connect my kaiser to the internet via my wireless router.
i can then connect the kaiser to the laptop with usb, but how do i share the connection?
only options using internet sharing on windows mobile are through gprs, which is no good.
laptop has windows 7.
why dont you DL the WLAN drivers for your laptop on your tilt. then copy that to your laptop and get your wifi working instead?
thanks hispanomlz, but like i said, laptop networking is broken awaiting repair
i have all the drivers.
i want to use my kaiser as the modem, but with it connected to my router wirelesly and to the laptop via usb.
i.e wireless modem -> kaiser wireless -> kaiser usb to laptop, then laptop shares the connection
just checked in the networking forum, and i think i need wmwifirouter

will give that a try later

WMWifirouter turns your phone into a wireless router. If your wireless isn't working on your computer then it will not work with wmwifirouter..
I don't think you can connect to wifi and then internet share the connection. It will only work on the phones cellular data.
well, wmwifirouter is the dogs wotsits.
worked like a treat.
connect phone wifi to my wireless router.
connect phone to laptop with usb.
click on wmwifirouter->wifi to usb and it disconnects activesync and connects laptop to internet.
job done.
well, still have to get the laptop repaired sometime though
wow, I sure didn't know it worked backwards.

Can someone help me. I've been trying to connect my laptop through my Kaiser using internet sharing. All the connections have been made but the phone will not allow the connection to the internet just the local between laptop and phone. When I use my Kaiser alone the internet works great. What am I doing wrong?

I just tried this for the first time yesterday (usb) and it worked fine for me.
make sure active sync isnt running.
start up interent sharing, and hit connect before you plug the usb cable into your phone. If i dont do tha tthe connection fails sometimes. It should come up with 'check usb connection'. When it says that, plug in the usb cable, and you should be good to go.
I've tried the usb, but still the same thing; connection between Kaiser and laptop is fine but can't get access to the internet.
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 didn´t that it has so many features.
I purchased Walking Wifi Hotspot. Works good and has all the features that you could need.

So those allow you to use your phone as a wireless bridge with your PC? I thought it only used the cell data connection.
Hello all.
I have googled, searched xda and tried all to get internet sharing to work, via usb, but fail all the time. It is supposed to just work but does'nt. For me.
Any help please?
regards
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose my network or whatever the native network profile is called
rather then my isp or whatever your isp profile is called
should mean that when your phone is connected to activesync
or vista's sync tool
it gets the same network as the computer you're connected to
make sure you have synced your x1 with the activesync software that comes with it then try it make sure you got signal aswell cuz it will not connect without. i use vista and it connected fine it just added another network to the ones i could connect to and obvusly it was the phone so i saved it that way when i plug it in it works straight the way. hopefully this helped
just plug it in and start internet sharing on your x1
Probably want to check your PC network status>>properties>>Advanced and check on "Allow other network users to connect...."
And go to X1 settings>connections>usb to pc and clear(if any) check mark on the 'enable adv network' if having problems.
Are you trying to connect your PC to the Internet through your phone or your phone to the internet via your PC?
doesnt necessarily belong here but since people are reading this thread - how can I do the following:
My laptop is connected to landline broadband connection via cable. Now I want to start a wireless network on my computer and let my xperia connect to. When connected to the laptop ... I want the xperia to be able to use the laptops internet access as well be able to access files that I have given network permission to e.g. movies for example.
There has got to be a way of doing this. So far all i can do is create a wireless network and let my xperia connect to it .. however nothing happens after that .. I cannot access files nor the internet on my xperia
so anybody an idea how to do this ?
thanks
I think you might need a Wireless Access Point for this, although I could be wrong. I have personally never tried it, as I haven't played around with peer to peer wireless networks.
I have an Access Point at home connected to the DSL, my laptop and my X1 both connect to it and access the internet, and that works perfectly.
Sorry I am not of much help.
just create an ad hoc connection on your pc it will appear on the network list on the xperia in the properties of the ad hoc connection tick share internet or something similar
Sharing internet connection with x1
Hello guys! I need to connect my X1 via USB with my notebbok, to share the WiFi connection. The problem is that my X1 has an IP with 192.168.1.102 Ip, (From wireless), but when I connect it via USB to my PC its tooks an IP with 162.85.2.2 Ip Address.
I configured it manually, but still wont navigate trouth internet.
So I don't know hoy to configure my connection to have the same IP range with my phone from my PC.
I searched all over XDA forums, but I didn't find anything-
Please somebody can hel me please?
Regards!
Charly!
Active sync issues the IP when connected via the usb cable, leave it as it is. (ie my home wireless network for the laptop / pc / xbox etc is 192.168.0.xxx but the phone when connected to the laptop is 169.254.2.x and active sync does the routing or something). Then do what the others said about allowing the phone ot connect to the internet via active sync and it should work.

hey....i using SE x1i
I need to help for to connect mobile with laptop. No one pc suite are working, when i connect via USB cable i getting error of "your USB not recognize" I tried with various PC suite but nt getting success..My Laptop OS wind8 Plz help me any one....
I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
I have LAN cable connection on my laptop. It has wifi and bluetooth module. Is there any way to get an internet connection on my Nexus by using them? My laptop runs Vista.
Thx
if i understand correctly, you want to share the internet on your laptop with your nexus.
You need to configure your wifi on the laptop as accesspoint and connect the nexus with it.
Google internet sharing wifi
you can just turn on network sharing on your laptop... google is your friend here if you need specifics.
Is there any way to do this without a Wireless network card? Since I'm on the other side of the house and get intermittent signal with my N1's wifi. Can it be done using the USB cable? aka reverse tethering?
I don't think android supports this "reverse tethering". Actually I think only WinMo phones support it via Activsync, which is automatic as soon as you plug in your USB.

Is there a way set up a non-ad hoc network on the laptop because the N1 is not compatible with ad hoc networks?
Although you can set up a software AP on your laptop, consider buying a WiFi access point. That way your laptop won't have to be plugged in either And its way easier to setup.
If you are using Windows 7 on your laptop, you can use Connectify (url is connectify.me) to convert your laptop into a wifi hotspot, which you can then connect your N1 to (via wifi)

What about for windows XP? is there an application similar to conectify.
Also just to let you guys know stock android does not let you connect to ad-hoc network sharing like some mentioned earlier. The devices does not see ad-hoc networks.
There is a issue request here about it.

...I'm more comfortable with xp so I'm doomed not to be able to set up an AP with my laptop...
I've been all over this connection and sharing internet connetion thing these days, and today it seems so close to work:
I paired my N7 and laptop on bluetooth, laptop with IVT driver, and N7 clearly shows in bluetooth - paired devices - profiles, under internet access, "connected to device for internet access".
yet all apps on N7 still say no connection.
god somebody pls help me!! It just doesn't make any sense!
btw, I did tick the option of "internet access sharing" and selected the bluetooth network in the settings of the internet accessing connection on my laptop.
I just don't understand whatever went wrong...

Yes, but it's not free. There is a free trial though if you want to make sure it works with your setup.
