Guys, I'm sorry for inconvenience but I haven't any idea how to use the GPRS internet on the desktop computer via USB Cradle. I have a 4.0.0.5 ROM and MS Active Sync 3.7
Thank you for your help!
Hi ...
I 'm not sure there is a solution for this since by using the GPRS your XDA itself will have an IP address. So, it can't be used as a modem ( I might be wrong tho :shock: ).
I think it's better to get a PC card adaptor with a SIM slot for GPRS. The same for WiFi cards.
Good luck

No easy solution exists (yet...). You need to hook the device up using a serial cable, and then run a ROM-included tool called 'wmodem.exe'. (Tool is only present on some 3.x ROMs, and cannot be used on ROM it isn't included with), or use a really crappy wmethod we came up with a long time ago, using the bootloader.
Both methods require the serial cable, and when you ask our opinion, both methods suck, although the former method sucks less than the latter.
And to add both methodes are slowwwwwww, i mean the connection speed is slow.

I have the wmodem since I use 3.18 ROM, but it didn't work except for GSM data connection (not GPRS link). I believe this is because when you use GPRS the XDA becomes the destination IP address not a modem anymore ... or I didn't use the right setup ???

Since the PocketPC hase it's owne IP adresse on my personnel network (ping from laptop to pocketpc) it must be possbile to develope a pocketpc proxy gateway.
we could then (using activeSync for LAN connection) connect to the internet via the pocketpc proxy.
Has any one developped or heard about such a software??? :idea:

It's not that easy, we looked into it.
Problem is that as soon as the XDA sits in the cradle, the GPRS internet loses its interface, which is then taken by the PPP link to ActiveSYnc running on the desktop. We have not managed to keep up the GPRS and the ActiveSync at the same time.
We're presently convinced the easy answer lies in a tool that presents a fake serial port on the desktop which, via USB and ActiveSync, connects to something like wmodem on the XDA. Let's wait for wmodem or something like it to appear on WM2003, and then we'll see if we can cook up something.
I've used Wmodem, I've used the bootloader method. Wmodem wasn't bad, just not always reliable, and it doesn't exist for PPC 2003 devices. But I finally came up with a great, reliable, and much faster solution.
USE ANOTHER PHONE! :wink: I just swap the SIM and use a T300 via IR when I need to get a connection on my laptop. That way I get GPRS speed (Wmodem seemed stuck at 9600) also.

I solved that problem when checked on the "Allow network and remote access service server connection with this desktop computer", so when you plugging your MDA to the craddle GPRS shuts down, but if you click to reconnect it turns on and working properly while my device is in its craddle. I thought that if my desktop pc using a standart connection to the internet gives internet access to my PPC via active sync (gprs is off) then there must be a way to use gprs connection back from PPC to the desktop PC. :shock:
I've also tried to have a GRPS connection while my ActiveSync connection is on and it works well.
On my pocket PC get two IP adresses, cellular Line IP address (Internet) an Serial on USB IP address (LAN).
Si I guess the only way to get full GPRS via a laptop would be to directly integrate a proxy gateway on the Pocket PC, no need to play or to wait for the wmodem.exe to be integrated for PPC 2003 since we have LAN and Internet connection at the same time on the PPC
Next steep would be to find or program a proxy gateway for PPC.
Any ideas :?:
cheers.

I have searched everywhere (here and on other sites) and it seems like if I tell the activesync to pass through to the internet, I should have internet on my pda when connected via usb...
This is not happening! I went through all options and used a few troubleshooting things that nobody seems to mention (like ipconfig from the ppc msdos console) and I can't figure this out at all!
I am using a wallaby (siemens sx56) plugged into my laptop, which is wirelessly connected via home network into cable modem. I put every .exe file in the program files/activesync directory on the "pass through" list of the firewall.
When activesync connects, all looks normal unless I try to get online via ie (from the pocket pc). If I go to the ppc dos prompt and try ipconfig, it reads me back 192.168.55.101 as the ip address, and 192.168.55.100 as the gateway. These are not close to my network settings. It can't ping my laptop and my laptop can't ping the ppc using the above address.
What am I missing??? I am using xda-developers operating system and activesync 3.8 on my laptop. PLEASE HELP!!!!
ps. I am planning on getting a wireless card for the ppc - might I still have this problem when I try to connect using that too??
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
wallaby's SD interface dont support SDIO which are wifi and well everything but memory SD cards require
so getting wifi will not help you
activesync have some settings related to sharing the connection
so theres no way to get this thing online (except pay for cellular service or <supposedly> through usb cable)?
That sucks!
Anyway, as for the usb thing, I looked through activesync on my laptop and the only thing i could find is where it should connect to (internet or work). I tried both with no results. Is there anything I'm missing?
-- AshayinFLA
Isn't network access from the PocketPC trough (USB) ActiveSync-Connection possible? I don't get it working. With my old iPAQ (Widcomm Bluetooth Stack) i can use the Bluetooth Network for full network access. I tried PocketLANce but it's only a "remote network" for the host.
Any ideas to get my MDAc really bound in the network?
you have many things to try:
1. in your device.. go to Start>Settings>Connections>Advanced then Select Networks... and choose the internet or work... one of them should work for you..
2. at the same time, if you are using ActiveSync 3.7 or 3.8 ... go to Options>Rules> and make sure the pass through options is checked and matches the same network you choose on your PPC (ie. work & work )
3. for best results, I'd suggest upgrading into Active Sync 4.1 , which does all the work for you automatically :wink:
Hope this helped
cheers
I WOULDN'T upgrade to 4.1
Even microsoft reccomend not to use it for anything other than WM5 as it (4.1) is so monumentally crap!
although I would do the rest of it.
as long as passthrough is set to automatic it should work. Did with mine anyway!
I use ActiveSync 4.1 (since it was released) and i never had problems with it (only with 4.0 and my firewall).
I can access the internet from my MDA, but not the LAN. I want to sync with the Exchange Server, without a partnership on the PC. I get the CONNMGR_36 Error
As the Exchange-Server, i entered \\IP-Adress and used Certchk to disable the Certificat Check.
I got it working! I got my MDAc syncing with the Exchange without a partnership with the computer!
Thank you for your help, and btw, you need AS4 for this.
A good site for error codes:

I don't have problem accessing the LAN (Both USB and BT connection). eg: I can open my songs and video using TCPMP with address: "http://172.18.0.2:8080" (I configure my apache to listen to 8080 instead of 80)
P.S. I am also using the latest Activesync 4.1 (it's slow but I always want the latest)
I want to setup a LAN over USB between my Magician and my PC, with static IP's, but i don't know how. At WM5.0 the PPC takes automatically an IP, but on 2003SE?
Hi guys!
Is it possible to surf the web with my Jam using the internet connection of my desktop pc (in office with lan connection and in house with dial-up!)?
Yes it is, you need to setup activesync over bluetooth however or activesync over Wifi with an add-in card.
There are a lot of guides around on how to do it with bluetooth!
Well!
With only the USB cable is not possible?
Yes it's possible with AS via USB. I've been doing it a long time ago. I don't really surf but I use it to update currency and weather in WorldMate Pro.
zerimar, can you explain me how can I do it please?
There's nothing special. As long as there's a working USB connection between the PPC and AS, open your browser and type in the url.
... not quite yet!
You have to go to connection settings within AS and set "this computer is connected with" to "internet"
then you can surf with your mdac via usb

I don't see what you mean coz I didn't need to do anything in AS Connection Settings.
Hello,
I dont think you need any extra settings to be done. Just have your PC connected to the net and Synchronize your device with active sync and open Pocket ie...Thats it i do!

I know what he means cause i got the same problem, one of my 2 pc connections (one work one home) the work one has a corp lan proxy. ive got only one application that can connect thru the firewall which is Egress RSS reader.
is there anyway to give the proxy link plus username and password like you can in egress to the connection details on the phone or within activesync somewhere?
ive seen on other forums people asking the same thing.
Can anyone connect to VPN (PPTP) using WM5 via wireless or GPRS?? When i use my old XDAIIi or II, i can connect by now using WM5 i cannot.
Hope those can connect please share. tks.
I can connect to a Windows 2000 PPTP VPN via wireless -- make sure that in Settings/Network Cards/Network Adapters, your network card is set to connect to the Work network.
Also, in Settings/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks, make sure that the lower droplist (private network) is configured to use the Work network.
Aside from those two items, I can't think of any other gotchas.
Ya still doesn't work......
do you know what the vpn device is that you are trying to connect to?
windows servers tend to be quite reliable. there are known issues with some checkpoint and cisco devices.
Hello,
I am having the same problem! I cant connect via VPN (PPTP) to my Windows Server 2003 RAS setup. It works perfectly fine on my laptop over the internet but when I try to connect using my Cinguar 8125 I get a generic "Invalid username/password' kind of error message. I have tried several differnt things, but I was wondering if there are security settings that are turned off or something like that? I actually have my RAS policy to let any device establish a VPN connection (obviously as long as it is authenticated) so I dont know what to do next... any suggestions??

For me works fine. I have only 2 connections:
a) my isp, with gprs configuration for vodafone
b) my work network, with the vpn connection definition (ip address, user, passw and domain)
I have it set up the same way and I still get the password issue... what kind of policies do you have in RAS?

did you uncheck the security in the connection with the server?
take care with the name user, times exchange get crazy: server/user or only user name for the user field...

Hi! I am not an Network expert at all, but here in Norway with one teleoperator we have to use a special access point name on My Work Network connection to get a public IP-address so Network accepts the connection. Perhaps nothing to do with your problem, but also we experience a lot of PDA users having no problem with pre-WM5 devices and much problems with WM5 devices and VPN
I have been searching the forum and the wiki for over an hour and am finding tons of old 2003/2004 threads, and some mid 2008 threads with no responses, about using WModem to provide internet connection.
I want to use my HTC Kaiser over 3G as an internet connection. How do I achieve this? I am using WModem but I have no drivers for it on my computer, and dont want to dial through AT&T's service. The USB_MODEM.zip file links were all old and no longer around.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you just want Internet access the use then Internet Sharing application in Windows Mobile (assuming its in your ROM, if not I think the .cab for it is available?). Assuming your PC is XP and its connected via USB with ActiveSync then it's all pretty automatic.
You need to ensure you have Internet access from the PDA (i.e. you can browse the internet over 3G, GPRS etc), you then start Internet Sharing, select PC Connection USB, and set the 'Network Connection' to your Internet connection (3G, GPRS) and then click 'Connect'. ActiveSync will stop and your PC will discover a new Network Interface (Windows Mobile Internet Sharing Device I thin kit appears as) and thats it. The WM device acts as a DHCP Server & DNS proxy. I use this quite often and it's pretty good - I have a Kaiser and get a good HSDPA connection at home, the connection can vary with travelling though.
If you want to use the PDA as a Modem then you need the Modem Link application (this is where you need to install the Modem Drivers on the PC). I have used this as well but with less sucess.

Do you know where the cab for Internet Sharing is? I am failing at using WModem right now.
