XDA 2, Bluetooth, Activesync Passthrough - so close ! - Networking

Hi,
I have an XDA 2 (Rom 1.72 - the o2 standard one)
I am using the standard MS BT stack on the XDA
On my PC (Windows XP SP2) I have a Tecom BT3030 using the WIDCOM 1.3.2.7 stack.
Activesync (3.8) via bluetooth works perfectly (hurah!)
I can also get onto IRC, MSN and the web via the XDA when the Activesync connection is established.
However,
If I set activesync pass-through to "Work" I can only access my LAN.
If I set it to "The Internet" then I can only access the internet.
Trouble is.... I need both :wink:
Is there a way of forcing activesync on the PC to let me use both, or a way of forcing it to give me an IP from my LAN ?
I have a router on my LAN, that uses DHCP.
Ideally, I want my XDA to get an IP address on the LAN, that would be perfect, since I would then be able to use it just like any other network device.
From what I have read, the WIDCOM stack on the XDA help me solve the problem.
I downloaded one from here named BluetoothGPS which I installed. I must say, I didn't get anywhere with it (I hard to hard reset ). Although that was before I had all this working with the MS stack, so maybe I should have another go.
Thanks

To answer my own question, I didn't get anywhere with "make activesync use both network and internet" plan so I did the following:
Flashed up to the finalzero wn2003se release
Installed the widcomm 1.5.0.0801 stack on it.
Stayed with the Widcomm 1.3.2.7 stack on my pc.
Played around for a while and now Activesync works via BT, as does PAN (which is exactly what I was aiming for)

Using XDAII Mini bluetooth to Wi-Fi Network

I am using XDAII Mini (i-Mate Jam) and trying to figure out how to browse the internet using my Apple Powerbook's active Wi-Fi connection.
The only way I can communicate with my Powerbook is using bluetooth. But as you know, the XDAII Mini's bluetooth software does not allow you to activesync with bluetooth nor allows you to create a network connection with bluetooth. And the later function is very necessary to successfully connect to my Powerbook.
In the new PDAs using Pocket PC 2003 you can find a very good bluetooth software (originally iincluded) which allows you to do the above.
I'm still trying to solve this problem and need any inputs.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.
Hello,
With ActiveSync, it does let you to connect and synchronze and get an internet connection. Unfortunately that depends from the software you're using the sync.
Usually we have an icon where you can specify if to enable 'Pass-Thru' when the PDA is connected to 'Work' or 'Internet'

Network Access trough ActiveSync?

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?

Bluetooth... How can I make it work?

Initially, I had the following stacks:
Microsoft - for my XDA 2
IVT Bluesoleil - for my PC
I can't get Activesync to work, and I am not a fan of IVT anyway, so I shifted to Widcomm
Having similar problems, and having a past experience with Widcomm for my XDA, I installed Widcomm as well for my XDA
My main goal really is, not to get Activesync to work (but it would be great if I accomplish that), but to have an internet connection in my XDA through the connecting PC.
However, if i set Widcomm's Local Service: Network Access to "Allow other devices to access the Internet/Lan via this computer." I get the following error when I attempt to connect:
The Network Access connection failed: Can't connect when both sides are configured as NAP.
Is there any way not to configure my XDA as NAP?[/img]
you can just use ms bluetooth software on the pc

when the xda is connected to activesync it have the same network

Bluetooth Modem + Universal Help

Hey everyone,
Okay I'm going to try and explain what I am trying to do here, but I'm sure I'll miss some steps. I think I know what the problem is, but I still can't figure out a way to resolve it.
I have a Sony Ericsson Z710I mobile phone. I also have an i-mate Jasjar running AKU 3.2 (JW's Rom). Here is what I am attempting to achieve.
I want to use the Z710I as my telephone. I have bluetooth turned on and have connected the Jasjar to it. On the Z710I I have enabled the "bluetooth internet" option and set it to connect to the proper APN. On the Jasjar I have created a new network connection that uses Bluetooth modem, and have put in the APN as *99#.
So when I connect the Jasjar to the internet, it dials the bluetooth on the Z710. It recongnises the *99# command and connects to the proper APN and connection. This is the point in where it just doesn't want to hitch up. The phone has full access to the internet, however ... the Jasjar is just grabbing data traffic and I'm not sure why. It reports connected and is communicating to my knowlege.
When I disconnect the Z710 from the internet, the Jasjar immediatley reports that the modem has disconnected. That why I figure there is communication.
I have tried (on the Jasjar) to edit the network card settings for the bluetooth adapter to 'obtain IP automatically' but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas ( or questions for me to help clairify?)
Thanks
Nathan
What kind of communication did you try? Internet Epxlorer? Opera? Messaging?
For example, IE, which is based on the Connectivity Framework, has a lot of problems that may render a connection non-working - I've written several articles on this stuff. A solution is trying with,say, OpMob / Messaging to be absolutely sure it's not just an IE-related problem.

I tried using activesync as well as IE, google maps and other internet based connections.
I just tried it right now, dialed the connection and tried to activesync. The z710i connected at the Jasjar's request and the Jasjar said connected. It then just sat there "synchronizing folders"
There are two APNs available through my phone. One is for WAP traffic, the other for Internet bound traffic. My phone is connecting properly or it at least setup properly to route traffic over bluetooth to the internet one.
I did hook up the phone through a bluetooth adapter on my computer and used it as a wireless modem it did work there. I wonder if the problem is the Microsoft BT Stack (it doesn't have a PAN profile).
Do we have a way to uninstall the MS BT Stack and install the WIdcomm one which would support PAN?
Just a thought.
Thanks
Nathan

Are you sure the z710i would support PAN server? I don't think so.
If it does, then, check out the Hermes / Wizard Widocmm BT stack hacking-related threads; hope the stack can also be hacked onto the Universal too.
(Unfortunately, AKU3 with its new BT approach (see my related articles if interested) won't work because it only supports BT PAN server mode for dial-up purposes, not client mode.)

I'm not sure how to check if it supports Bluetooth PAN server. I know that the Z710I can be used as a Bluetooth Modem (as I said previous, I hooked it up to my computer and used it as a internet connection - but when I did that I had to enable PAN client support on the PC [i think]) .. So is this where we are inherantly are having the problem? The Jasjar doesn't support PAN Client therefore, when it connects it doesn't know what to do with the connection?
I have figured it out.
I connected my Z710I to my laptop and I examined the "dial-up" connection and the syntax for the connection number was *99***2#
I changed the connection on my Jasjar, connected and everything is wicked. Now I can still sync my Jasjar while using a regular phone for a while.
Talk about a Personal Area Network .
Thanks for all the help.

Surf the net with bluetooth and home connection

Hi all,
I've seen a lot of threads specifying how one would go about using the bluetooth to share the phone's internet connection. However, I would like to do the opposite, that is, share the PC's internet connection via bluetooth so that I can surf the net on my phone (I do not have wifi). Any help would be most appreciated.

many more hits of you use search and search "bluetooth AND modem"
thanks for the reply, but i already know how to do this. Perhaps you didn't understand my question; I do not want to use my XDA as a bluetooth modem. I would like to use my home ADSL connection via bluetooth to access the internet through my phone. This feature was there by default in my SE P910i, and I'm sure it should be possible to do this via my XDA as well. Once again, I do NOT want to use my XDA as a bluetooth modem
when connected to activesync pda's have the same network access as the pc they are connected to unless one have disabled it
so synch with bluetooth to your pc and you got it's internet

I'm successfully running such a setup, using Linux (w/ bluez stack) on the Internet Gateway. However, I had only luck with the Widcomm stack on the Windows Mobile, w/ the MS stack, I could not manage to find any way to use DUN or NAP. With Widcomm, you can configure access via a "Bluetooth Access Point", which will use DUN services on the Host (Gateway) computer. On Linux, this means setting up dund (comes with bluez) and configuring a PPP profile for it.
Any idea if Widcomm BT stack is available for installing it on WM5. I think mine is with MS by default and couldnt find an option to configure it.
I think it isn't offered for free to the public. Nevertheless, there seem to be a few CABs with the broadcom/widcomm stack out there in the WWW. Google might lead you the way...
Thanks a lot for the feedback guys.
I have succesully used DUN with both my original iMate Jamin ROM and PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 ROM to access the internet via a linux box running Bluez and dund.
I was hoping the new PAN profile in wm6 would allow me to simplify and setup a standard wm6 PANU -> linux NAP. However it looks like wm6 only supports running as a NAP and wont allow you to do that unless your connected to the internet via GRPS etc.
Is it possible to either add support for PANU in wm6 or activate the NAP without an active connection?
