Use XDAII as a modem when there is no GPRS - Networking

Hi!
Thanks to all of your help I have finally been able to config my XDAII to work as a modem and connect to GPRS network both through IR and USB!
But last night there was a problem with the network which admitted that GPRS was down for an indefinite amount of time... so I need to connect using my XDAII as a "normal" non GPRS phone to connect to an ISP...
Has anyone done it and can tell me how to change the setting or how to set up a new connection to use XDAII as a modem?
Thank you,
Chris

Turning gprs and Modem off

Hello,
I'm having a I-mate jam with an 265mb wifi card but i'm not always connectect to wireless networks.
If i'm not connected and i do click on the IE icon it's itrying to use the gprs settings whom are not installed becaus i don't want to use gprs.
Is it possible that the I-mate doesn't use gprs ore the dialup modem?

Help - GPRS & WiFi at the same time?

Hi
I want my XDAIIi to connect over GPRS and WiFi at the same time - I use the WifI connection to connect to my laptop so I can project the screen, and I use GPRS to connect to some demo systems.
I've done this sucessfully with the IPAQ 6300, but on the XDAIIi the Wireless Manager seems to let me connect GPRS or WiFi, but not both.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks

gprs trys to connect with wlan on

Hey,
I'm using a Qtek 2020i which I believe is the same as a xdaIIi. I have a wireless network set up at home and have managed to connect to it with the built-in Wlan device in my Qtek but every time I try to connect to the internet or send/receive emails it tries to connect to gprs even though it shows wifi is connected.
I have read some of the other forum posts here and many of them say to check that my network card is set to connect to the internet however where it says 'my network card connects to' there is only a blank box after it - no option to choose work or internet??
Has anyone got any advice on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in avdance.
system->Connections->Connections->advanced
and pick the connection of your cellphone isp as the connection for
programs which use internet access
that is already the case so it can't be that I'm afraid
I am having the same problem with my MDA Vario(KJam).
It tries to connect to GPRS even if i have wireless lan connected
anyone know how i can sort this
thanks
As noted in another post, simply creating a dummy gprs connection created a default conne tion instead of the telco gprs.

Q: Laptop->WM5->GPRS ?

Appologies in advance for the daft question. I was wondering if its possible for me to configure my Wizard as a gateway to the internet?
From my Wizard, once I've established a GPRS connection I can browse/surf the internet, but I'd like to be able to connect with my PC and browse the intenet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and once again, sorry for the newb question.

I won't have a Wizard. But, let me guess
Try switching on your Wizard IR and point it to your PC. It things goes well, your PC should say some hardware detected.. and it should have a modem class hardware, which should enable you to connect to the net. Try fiddle with it. That is what's on offer from my SonyE phone.
Is it possible to make a connection through usb cable?
jep, you can use youre wizzard als a gprs modem for youre laptop.
start with going trough
[start]
[programs]
[modem link]
plug in the usb on bove sides (wizzard and pc)
youre pc will find a new deviece.
Insert youre cd from t-mobile with applications. On that cd is also a set of drivers for the wizzard modem function. (just tell windows to search the cd the rest will be done automaticly)
go to connections on youre pc.
create a new connection.
make sure it's pointing to youre new added modem (wizzard).
use for the phone number *99#
have a little patience and wola youre welcome on the world wide web.
ps if you are dutch try this post on a dutch forum which is maybe more clear

Both IrDA and USB will work as described above. IrDA, on the other hand, is not the way to go if you have EDGE - IrDA's maximal 115 kbps is slower than the maximal about 175 kbps of EDGE.
If you have Bluetooth support in the notebook, you will want to read this tutorial on setting up the Wizard as a Bleutooh modem: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=510&more=1
"Modem link" worked a treat - thanks!
For Vodafone Australia, I needed to send the following init string
"at+cgdcont=1,"IP","vfinternet.au"

Pity the GPRS counter doesn't work!
Any Drivers for OSX for my powerbook?
Interesting topic...
is there similarly a way to use WiFi from the Wizard on a laptop, via IR or USB?
Couldn't get this to work while recently at a hotel where the laptop couldn't see the hotspot anywhere in the room, but the wizard could see it everywhere in the room! =)
No.
What you need to do that is known in the Winblows world as "Internet Connection Sharing", or "ICS", and its not in the WinCE build. At all.
Going the OTHER way however - having your Windows laptop serve up the GPRS connection to a whole host of other machines on an ad-hoc Wifi network - that DOES work!
HI there i donot have modem drivers in my cdrom. Please if any one can post the drivers file on this page it will help a fellow pda user a lot.
Thank you very much in advance.
Here you go, enjoy. Tried it and I got 150 - 175 kbs at www.dslreports.com/mspeed @ 200k and 600k tests. Granted it was at 12:37 a.m. and not a big load on the network cause everyone is probably asleep.
Hmm, becuase of this, now I want to sell off my unlocked sierra 775 edge card because it's of no use to me now. Man I love this phone more and more!
Cheers,
Mike
Hi all,
I am able to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop connecting the MDA Vario via USB but when I connect I do not see the GPRS connection on my MDA Vario connecting or being used so a big G stands in the top of my screen instead of a G with two arrows below it.
I use as modem settings:
Dial number *99#
Extra initialization command +CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet","",0,0
Is GPRS used now?
If not how can I configure the MDA Vario or modem on my laptop in such a way that is use GPRS?
I think the "G" icon does not change even if it is connected.
in the modem setting replace the word " internet " with your providers GPRS setting,
in the case of t-mobile it will be " internet2.voicesream.com"
and that's it!
When I change "internet" into "internet2.voicestream.com" I am not able to connect at all and when I have this setting set to "internet" I am able to connect and use my MDA Vario as Modem.
The only thing I am very interested in is how do I know if I am using GPRS or normal modem as connection? This because I have a GPRS abo and I do not want to use my normal phone abo for modem connection.
Does anyone know if the internet setting is OK and how I can see if GPRS is used?
Thanks.
yes, that I know it will use the GPRS or EDGE conection, It is only convinient if you have an unlimited data plan.
I dind't notice that you where in the us, look up in you photo what you use to connect to your GPRS setting, and then use the same onenceon the computer in the HTC modem window.
internet2.voicestrem.com is only for the unlimited data plan in the USA with T-mobile..
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
this is a link with some setting
The page you have mentioned http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html mention to use internet-act for settings in modem and I am not able to connect using internet-act. I only use internet as setting in initialization string and I can connect.
I am located in the Netherlands and I assume that this is the correct configuration to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop and connect via GPRS. Will see on my next bill. .

GPRS Always ON Hack and WIFI

I've used the Registry Hack in order to have the GPRS connection always ON...whic is great on daily time.
However now, at home, while I want to use the WIFI connection, I've the feeling that WM5 is using the GPRS connection and not the WIFI one...as both of them are active, and when I start IE as exemple,...the system try to conenct againto GPRS.
How to define priorities between both? How to controk which connection s used?
Finally...I cannot really obtein the Disconnect from GPRS Button. I Have an Orange M3000 on WM5.
Thanks for your support
francesco
