Comm Manager Internet Sharing instead of Wireless Modem?

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.

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
-Jay

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.

Connected to Wifi but cannot use Internet

Hi:
I have the HTC-branded TyTN II and I can connect to my Wifi network just fine, but none of the applications can access the Internet through this connection. The connection status shows as "connected" and the phone shows up in router's DHCP table. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Try moving the WIFI power saving mode to the left: "Best Performance".

Don't know if this is "too obvious" but have you set the DNS lookup address?

oh man! another unlucky soul...like me
dont worry buddy, you are not alone in this "wireless problem" as i have an HTC Touch and unfortunately i have Windows Vista Home Premium installed in my laptop which has damn wifi.
same as yours, my HTC connects to the wifi i made in several ways with Security and Authentication Enabled in every way i can and also last with Open Authentication and Security as NONE
my network shows that my wifi is connected to my HTC but only LOCAL, which means you cant access internet, and strangely also, the wifi network is labelled as Unidentified Network, when the WIFI i made is given a solid name, like WIFY.
i checked out my HTC Touch with a friend who has Windows XP installed in his laptop and damn....i can browse as well as chat in Messenger, while being connected to his WIFI.
So i will tell you these by experience:
1st: its not a problem with your HTC TyTN II, so dont subject it to forced connection, like messing with your settings all day long while you try to connect it. cos simple truth is you cant (i m assuming you have windows vista as well)
2nd: its been like my third nite, with "vista+wireless connection+unidentified network" searched on google.
and somethings i came across, but didnt fix my problem includes:
> disable IPv6 from your NIC
> assign a MAC address filter to your NIC (Vista by default has Network Address set to Not Present, which can be found in your LAN Card > Properties > Advanced Tab)
And even my assumption that you're using Vista is wrong, let this be an INFO to other users here as well.
Damn, i m getting back to Windows XP!!!!!!!
So if you think your WiFi card needs a checkup or try these solutions i have mentioned, try google....its a saviour for all gadget dudes like us!!!!

Just to try and give a fuller picture - I have no such problems
I have a desktop running Win XP Pro, a laptop running Vista Home Premium and my Kaiser. All are connecting wirelessly thru a router using WPA encryption and using IE, Firefox for browsing, SMTP/POP3 clients for email and MSN. They are also connection to each other - desktop, laptop and Kaiser - no problem on any of them.

Yeah, having Vista on your network should be no issue with regards to connectivity of a device to a wi-fi network. However, having Vista on the network may make the vista computer invisible on the network map and make it unavailable on the network if you are using XP based computers as well. Not too sure about other Windows versions or different OSs. This is because the Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder component is not installed on the Windows XP-based computer. The patch to install on the XP based rigs is here. I ran into several networks with this issue and have cleaned them up with this patch. I even keep it on my Cruzer because I have seen it so much.
I know this doesn't help with the original query, but I wanted to ensure ayyum3 and cv2k3 know that Vista in the network will not affect any outside device's connectivity.
To the 2 fellas who are having this issue... are you using a software, or have you enabled the locking out external devices from connecting to your network? Also, have you ensured your wireless router has proper internet connection? To see the network yet be unable to access the internet leads me to believe it is a router-modem connectivity issue (albeit a simple IP addy issue, or a cable issue).

What kind of wireless router you using? Is it using the latest firmware for it?
Are you able to connect other wireless devices to the said router?
Are you able to connect your TyTN to some other AP (ie neighbours, cafe, starbucks, etc)?

did you try setting your wifi power mode to best performance

This was happening to me recently after I replaced my router...I ended up changing the channel the wlan was using from Auto (it was setting itself at channel 6) to channel 11. Channel 1 also worked. The other thing I did was disable the wireless speed enhancement features on the router. Now I can connect and surf with no issues...

I dont know what all that was about a vista pc but the OP's problem (from last november) would no doubt be that he had not set the wifi connection to connect to "the internet" or his device was set to use a network proxy for all connections.

S730-Notebook with Vista-No internet

I have a notebook, with MS Vista, and with mobile internet (pcmcia card). A tried to connect internet via s730 through mobile device center, but i can't.
I tried with WI-FI: connect to my notebook (ad hoc connection) but i can't use internet.
I tried it with free hotspot and it works.
I don't understand. What can i do?

How are you trying to get online?
You want the s730 do connect to your data network and share that? Or do you want to dial it into the internet (someone got that working on here) or are you connected through your notebook already and want to share that to your s730?

I don't know, that was BT connection.
Next question: Mobile Device center why not seeing my device, when i connect to desktop with wi-fi?

I've never been able to get this to work, I don't even know if you can or not.

I am confused.
Do you want your s730 to get on the Internet by connecting to your laptop? Can you just use a usb cable then you can use internet connection through laptop onto phone.

If I understand you correctly your laptop is what is online and you want it to pass the connection onto your phone through the wifi?
If thats the case that you just need to enable ICS on your laptop. It will be under your menu settings, I havnt messed around with vista's network settings so I cannot tell you quite what it looks like. Possibly a check box or a protocol to install. But once you install Internet Connection Sharing your computer should pass the connection out.

I have this working on my machine with my 730. Often you might need to repair the network connection to your phone from the network connection control panel as it sometimes loses it's IP address.
I also found that I needed to do some work in OneCare which I use as an AntiVirus and Firewall as this was blocking access to the Mobile Device Center.
hope this helps

If your PC is "seeing" your device but Activesync is not:
Make sure that you are running Activesync 4.5.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
Check your Activesync Connection Settings (File>Connections I think) and make sure that Allow USB Connections is selected.
Disable your firewall on your PC, if you can connect then, you need to enter exceptions in AS to get past this restriction.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.

I had a similar problem once. Turned out is was my own fault.
I had manually disabled the network connection Activesync needs to detect the Kaiser. This might be relevant for your issue:
On your computer goto 'Network Connections' (via 'Control Panel', assuming you have XP)
Connect the Kaiser to the computer
Enable the disabled network connection
You might want to switch to 'Tiles' view. The third line will read 'Windows mobile-based device'. That network connection needs to be enabled.
Good luck!

This trick helped me

for mine, I had to disable the "advanced network functionality" under Settings -> connections -> USB to PC before it would sync.

Same hint helped me to to uncheck the tab for the "advanced network functionality". No clue why.

ME HELPED THIS TWO THINGS :
1.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.
AND THEN THIS :
2.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
THAAAANKS !

OK I tried everything and cannot sync with my corporate PC work (XP with SP2).
I cannot get a local network LAN address on the Tilt regardless if I use NDIS or not and regardless if I provide the DNS server address or not it insists on its default mobile IP.
Funny enough "My Mobile" works through "Connect IP" to the default IP address 169.254.2.1
I tried almost all settings and nothing worked. On top I contacted MS just to receive a hotfix for the USB-2-NDIS drivers which didn't work either.
ANY idea anybody?
I also get the mysterious 80072EFD error from activesync 4.5.
PS: At home I can sync with the company server over the internet connected to my W2K SP4 workstation without any problem.
See attached screenshots

hmm my laptop recognizes my phone...its says its connected..but it just wont sync any ideas why>?
running vista btw

This was my problem as well. I had disabled the network connection, but could not find it any more in Network Connections (on my PC). I ended up having to run the ActiveSync installer msi and telling it to repair. That fixed things nicely.

I had that problem until I installed a flashy new NEC PCI USB 2.0 Adapter card in my PC and stopped using my motherboards onboard VIA (Appolo Pro chipset) USB 1.1 ports. The Activesync 4.5 connections are now far more reliable and I can connect both with or without advanced networking functionality ticked. It looks as if the type/quality of USB port in the PC has alot to do with things.
Now the remaining annoying issue with AS 4.5 I have is that when transferring large wmv files to my TyTN IIs storage card (or even internal memory), the progress bar that appears to indicate the file is transferring never gets to the far right side but always resets back to the beginning (sometimes several times when part way along during the transfer). Is this behaviour which other users of Kaisers connected to Win XP machines have observed? Can anyone throw some light on what's going on to cause this?

transferring large files/data fails

That's actually a known issue with USB. A std. USB driver connection through AS (regardless what version) will time out after 4 something seconds which may not be enough to write a file to your device/storage card. Best money I ever spent was for Softick Card Export II. It gives you the possibility to either active sync or "card export" data. Card export will enable your storage card as removable drive (just like with a card reader) an you can copy all data you want. Kinda slow but reliable. I just transferred 5 MP3 CD's on my storage card without any problems.

Thanks for the tip with that software. I'm not that concerned that I'm willing to fork out money though Just to clarify things, the files do still get across without any problem or failure (and no Activesync disconnects now), it's just the progress bar doesn't correctly indicate whats going on. FWIW the progress bar progresses for far more than 4 seconds before resetting back to the beginning probably 30 seconds or so but I've not timed it. Have you, tyguy, or other users, observed this behaviour with the Kaiser under XP or does the progress bar behave itself for everyone else?

My process bar fluctuates all over the place. Indicating 30 secs, 4 min, back to 20 secs guess it's as accurate as an hourglas, nice animation though - LOL

Activesync and WIFIrouter! Need solutions

Hi folks, just got my diamond almost a week ago and I already filled it up with applications, absolutely love it's wide area of functions. I came across a great idea that i could use at work: to connect the phone through activesync(that will give me internet on the phone from the computer) and then to use wifirouter app to further share this internet connection. But I couldn't get this working, because wifirouter accesses my gsm/3g internet on the phone instead of the internet obtained from the computer through activesync. Anyone got an idea how to get this working?

when u connect your phone with usb u can choose : shared internet connection. maybe then it will works dnoo

I don't think you understood, I need internet forwarding from pc to phone firstly, which I managed to do already with activesync, but I also want wifirouter application to recognize the internet being sent from the pc through activesync and not connect to edge/3g.

I think u need to setup your wifi router again this time dont set it to gprs/3g select usb to wifi. That shld work it

The wifirouter application doesnt give me any options, it just initializes and thats it.

can anyone help?

Using the USB to Wifi mode should work in this instance. That is if you're using one of the paid versions as I'm not sure if the free version supported this.
