Somehow it got duplicated
marvellous, thanks !
how can i use the phons gprs network to connect it to browse the internet on the pc.i'm not talking about sharing the broadband from pc with the pocket pc. i want to use the operators gprs access point to browse the internet on pc. i ve tried connecting to bluetooth via wireless modem but it does not show on list of dial up network ing devices. if i connect via cradle cable win 98 asks for drivers which i found on the i mate site even these dont work.

rom date 13-15-04
radio ver 1.14

No use
i already tried that before the drivers don't work on windows 98
secondly i have a major problem
is my phone running win 2002 or win win2003 se as mentioned in this site, club imate says pocket pc phone edition has 2002 ver. many websites say otherwise
i'm confused here
Worst of all my phone keeps hard resetting every single day when ever i browse the internet.after reading a lot i could find that i happens due to lack of ram etc buts thats bull **** as program,storage mem have 49,50 mb free.
i'm losing here with this phone
the same question (as on top of the topic) about Wallaby
Will this sollution also work for Wallaby devices?
1) with out winmodem?
2) with winmodem?
and one more: the download link for USBMODEM driver does not work... can you please point to the current place or attach it?
If you use activesync 4 I think you might be able to share the internet connection via the network connection created by activesync. Just a thought tho, never tried this myself.

not sure about activesync4 but with all the other activesync it only works so the xda can get net access from the pc not the other way around
Any other ideas to make it work?

Well, you can specify the IP address of the computer that has to act as the host for the shared internet connection. So if you would fill in the PDA's IP ......... guess it's worth a shot :lol:

well connected up the net via XP it works now with the drivers from the club imate site,same dirvers dont work on 98 thou. about 98 being unsupported by any one is taking it a bit too far as nokia new 6680 and motorola V3 razor softwares all suppport win98 and allow u to connect to gprs.yes 98 is about 7yrs old.
tried installing active sync on xp svcp1 it stops at 92percent using a pirated ver of xp has it got anything to do with that?
:idea:
but I do have a wmodem program on my Wallaby.
(or do you meen, that a hardware modem is missing in Wallaby)
still.. can you please attach those driver and app, that cannot be downloaded from the link above....
I have Imate pda 2 .I Want to use it as an external modem and connect my notebook ( Hp Pavillion 4141) to the internet via GPRS through bluetooth
Could someone please give me a step by step ( I am a novice ) instruction as to how to do this?
hi
did u find a solution ! ??? i can help if u r still Not able to do it.
i could do with a hand
i have the O2 XDAIIi. I followed the O2 instructions from there web site. Im connecting my Tosiba Laptop to the XDA via USB. i can get the laptop to see the xda as a wireless modem, it talks to the xda and the xda shows the 'flashing' modem lights on the screen. the problem i have is the laptop just says page cant be displayed. If you have idiot instructions that wouls be great. the laptop is running XP home edition.
Thanks Pete
I'm very interested in this, because I have "free" gprs at the moment, and if i could run my laptop VIA gprs (even if it is slow) it would free my life up alot!
I didn't even manage to get as far as my laptop seeing my XDA IIi as a wireless modem. Could you send me the link on the O2 site on how to get that far?
the site is here
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_spec.html
scroll down and you find this and more

No when I came to set this up I found my XP didnt match the screen shots so did my best.
also it tells you to put the xda in modem opertation when in the cradle but you need to do it before for, so the PC sees it as a modem rather than xda

Hi
Someone knows where to get the HTC USB modem driver ?
I don't have thedisk
Thanks
I got it....should be tagged to this message!!
I also managed to get the thing working in the end...
I uninstalled the modem and the network link.
ran the modem prog on the xda, hit start plugged into the usb on the laptop
The laptop active sync disabled before plug in!!
Finds the HTC modem and installs
Then rather than setting up a connection I launched internet explorer, tool, internet options, connections
set one up through there...
YOU DO NEED to add the initalization string from the O2 instruction sheet for the serial connection though. otherwise it fails the connection
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO"
also check out this place for more info on GPRS settup

thats exactly... the way it should be.. 100% working!
anybody out there with a macintosh who has done this??????
Just getting around to trying your instructions.
If this works I will be super happy. More happy than a Chocoholic in a chocolate wearhouse....or an alcoholic with the keys to a brewary.
this stupid board
just to clear this up for the USB mode you still need to enter the string. which can be found on the O2 instructions for the serial connetion of i posted there anyway.
Pete
I attempted to set it up, but got no-where really....
The instructions are very confusing.
tomw86 Ive added you to msm so you if you're on i can try and chat you through it.
Did you get the modem installed??
Here's how I did it.
Open active sync, File, connection settings.
Disable the USB option.
Close Active sync
fire up the XDA, Programs, WModem (wireless modem program)
Plug the XDA into the computer.
It should now find the modem and go through the give me a driver bit. Tell it to go manual and point it to where the drive is located, if it is the one I posted above then you will need to unzip it first (I had to zip it to upload onto here) or point to the location on the cd.
Let me know if you get that far. Ill try and sort out the rest. I got the modem connected and the laptop to talk to it, connecting to O2 but my IE wouldnt connect through it. I ended up removing the connection and staring again and it worked.
Pete
hows the conection done? hopefully usb?
what setting / software are needed on the lappy and tytn?
if at all it can be done?
You can do it through USB, Bluetooth or IrDA.
These instructions are for universal, but the same applies for TyTN:
BlueTooth
IrDA
USB
maybe we should put this on the wiki?

Wiki updated, I've put it on FAQs:

DUN
Is there a way to use DUN now that it's been disabled because of Internet Sharing?
New Tyten and Vista
Ok, I've been through the 3 ways to connec as a modem, I actually manged to connect ages ago with XP.
I now have a new Tyten, well new for the states but probably old in the rest of the world.
Anyway the New Tyten has a thing called Internet Sharing instead of wireless modem
None of the old settings are there anymore.
It also has a new way to connect via Blue Tooth Pan.
I've tried the Pan way but I had no luck, the connection seemed to work but I couldn't get on the internet.
I then tried USB, I couldn't get Vista to recognise the Tyten, even when I turned off the active synch, anybody got any ideas????
with Vista and WM6 internet sharing I think its easier than DUN. there is a whole how to in the help program on your hermesjust open the help app and search for internet sharing. just make sure your phone and laptop are connected via bluetooth and then open the internet sharing app and click connect make sure its set to bluetooth PAN. on my laptop I have a little bluetooth icon when its on so I right click that and then connect via persoanl network and then a little pop up pops up and I click on the connect bottun and it connects in about 15 seconds pretty easy! I know for USB you have to open the WMDC connection settings and uncheck allow usb connections.
Thanks
Cheers for that, I'll give it a go, although to be honest I've been trying it all afternoon..
I get the connection but no Internet connection..
Help Still needed
Ok, the plot thickens, I found drivers on the HTC Europe site to connect your Hermes to Vista.
I uninstalled all of the previous active synch hardware and also thre previous modem
When I plug the phone in it doesn't open the new downloads.
Any ideas, I'm running Windows 5.1, is there an official Windows 6 I can update to?
Some help with Macbook
So the instructions are great but how does it work on an Apple Macbook? I've searched through the forum many times without any luck. Any ideas on how to connect via USB and/or bluetooth?

my phone was working fine but when I tried to set my wife's up to tether it wouldn't show new hardware found when plugged in and when I tried to manually install the driver the process bix just kinda stalled out and wouldn't go forward with the driver even though I had browsed to the right one. I had to uninstall the driver which was viewing the phone as a serial device. if you're having this trouble then try following te directions in the link above. it worked for me...
i dunt know if there was a thread similar to this but anyway can anyone tell me whether u can do this or is there a program that will do this for me?
you want to give your PDA internet from your PC via USB?
Sounds kind of pointless to me, if your at your pc wouldn't you wanna just browse on that.
well the reason is...
well i want to update my antivirus database and i can't do that unless i have an internet connection on my BA( i'm using Kapersky antivirus) i don't think kapersky has definitions that are downloadable off their website so that u can transfer them from pc to ppc?
if you have active sync on then afaik you should be able to browse through it anyway, thats why you see the network icon flash up whilst it gives your phone a virtual network connection to your computer.
however the chances of getting a virus on your phone are incredibly slim
since u put it htat way im no longer using the virus program anymore

Quick, hack him whilst his anti-virus is down!
Oh no!!
oh no, ps have mercy. it is inevitable. oh pls. don't.hahaha
I'm not 100% sure, but I use My Mobiler and I believe there may be an option to connect to an IP address through that connection. It's also a really good program and free
Link?
u gotta link coz i would really give it a try.
OK....
Guys....i need to know HOW EXACTLY to configure my Universal (WM6) to do so...
i mean i have been searching and trying and NO CANT DO IT....pleaaaaaaaaaaase i need it...i just wanna know how to connect to internet using the PC,,,,
I was looking for the same: For me this worked: In active sync at your pc go to File-->connection setting. Change "This computer is connected to" to The Internet not automatic as default. Thats it. Worked for me. Diden't work on auto mode. Hope this helps
Ben
