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.

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!

Internet connection sharing problem

Hi
My connection to internet through my diamond (internet connection over USB or bluetooth) is very unstable. The program show that it is connected and my computer gets an ip-adress from the phone, but I don't reach the internet (my phone answers to ping(default gateway))
The connection profile I'm using works (i use it to sync with Exchange) and one out of 10 times it works with my computer too
Anyone have similar problems?
Best regards
Andreassg

i have the same problem!
hey - i have the same problem - im trying on my mac (10.5.5), the computer connects to the phone fine and gets an IP address, but no data gets through to the net - strange though it works find using dialup bluetooth, just not using the internet sharing app and bluetooth lan connection. It has to be a windows mobile issue. Strange thing is though - and this is where things go strange, it works fine with the widcomm BT stack on an XP machine.
just my thoughts

Sharing PC connection over WiFi

Hello, I googled around, but i can't seem to find an app for my needs.
I have a PC with Internet connection and a laptop. So i want to use the phone's wifi as a card for the pc, which to share my connection over the wifi and connect the laptop. Is there an app for that?
It should look like this:
Internet -> PC -(usb)>phone - (wifi)> laptop

there is no app for that and it would not work will as the phone does not have the prcessing power to maintain two different syncs at the the same time.
Not to mention the fact the your battery will be drained in no time flat because of the heavy wifi use as well as drawing on the processor to handle such a load.

just buy a router

Yea i thought of that but just checking, anyway I'm in need of a router

what about WMWifi http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/
# Support for sharing your cellular data connection over Bluetooth and USB
# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
# Support for sharing your WiMAX connection to USB and Bluetooth

Shouldn't that just work via Internet Sharing? If you connect the phone's Wifi and turn off Data... would that work? Then connect the PC to the phone by USB or Bluetooth.

wifi tethering through bluetooth connection

if i connect to another phone with bluetooth,can i pick up their 3g/4g/or w/e internet connection that their carrier provides them with my rooted htc hero?, i have the wifi tether app dont know if that would help

Short answer - no. WiFi tethering allows your HTC Hero unit to act as a wireless 'hotspot' for other WiFi-enabled devices to connect to, using a cellular data connection on the host device. Bluetooth on most phones was not intended to be used for modem and tethering purposes.

[Q] Tether instead of wifi???

Just wondering if there is a way to tether to a computer with a wired connection to get Internet connection that way, instead of using wifi??? There is lots of apps and stuff that need to connect to the internet to download, but I dont have the wifi's at home.
And if not, is it a hardware limitation, or software???

as far as i know there is no way to get internet to your phone through usb cable.
you can probably work around it if you have a laptop wired to the internet or a wifi stick. you should be able to setup a hotspot through windows to share your wired connection over wifi.

If you are on Froyo, it is built in.
If you are on Eclair, use Acer EasyLink:
(credits to navygino on MoDaCo for figuring everything out):
1) Download & install this program, http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...uid&Step3=Liquid&OS=A01&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
(I did this on Vista) Device Manager-->Modem-->Acer Android Modem-->Advanced-->enter the sting: +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn name”
2) Open the Acer EasyLink software
3) Go to Settings
-The number is just *99#
-Make sure everything else is correct

Ohhhh sorry thats for wired tethering, using your mobile network on your computer.
As far as using your computers wired connection, I have no clue.

i know that monoxide.tryst is probably gone but for anyone else.
if you want internet on your device you can share your wired network to your phone if you have a laptop/wireless adapter.
Windows 7
go to "network and sharing center"
>on the left "Manage Wireless Networks"
>>click "Add"
>>>"Create an ad hoc network"
>>>>Put in SSID and Security code
>>>>>"next" and then select "Share my internet Connection"
This will setup a wireless hotspot from your laptop/adapter using your wired internet connection. Which then you can use your phone to connect too.
