Use my HTC TyTN as a 3G USB-modem instead of Huawei E220

My provider is trying to sell a Huawei E220 to me so that I could be able to use the 3G network to surf on the internet with my laptop but a friend told me that my TyTN should be able to be used as a usb modem that would work with the 3G network instead of buying an extra device.
I will just have to pay the service charge of using the 3G network to get data.
Can someone here give me guidelines on how to make this work if possible?
I have HTC TyTN, a laptop, subscribed to 3G.
information on connection via bluetooth or USB is appreciated

you can do it with bluetooth

not sure if it works with usb

I have WM6 on my TyTN but I am having a tough time installing the USB modem driver on my PC
From my control panel, all I could see is the Motorola Fax modem and I have tried several times to install the HTC USB modem from this site to no success
I am using Vista and I have internet sharing on my TyTN

Internet Sharing between two pdas

I am wandering if there is a way to share my internet connetion between my alltel ppc 6800 with the new htc shift. I know how to link the phone with my laptop but I am currently looking at purchasing the shift to replace it and was wandering if the connection would work. If anyone has tried this please post.
P.S. the connection would be via bluetooth unless I converted the mini usb from the ppc 6800 to usb back to usb to plug into the shift. Thanks.

not sure if it could be done with BT, pretty sure it cant be done with USB (unless the shift can operate in host mode)
what should work is wifirouter (im sure the shift has wireless)

ok so how would i get the connection to work through a router? The only internet connection i have is through the ppc 6800.

nono, wifirouter is an app that you would run on your 6800, it essentially turns it into a wireless access point that other wifi enabled devices can use for internet access

where is the app available for download at?
Is that the only way it would work or could I configure the 6800 as a modem to connect?

ok I downloaded the app but still cant connect. I am trying the connection via my laptop and it stops at waiting for Internet connection sharing. is there some setting that needs to be changed or what am i doing wrong?

You ever figure out how to get the internet on your pda using the 6800 and the connection? I would like to do this bluetooth with my setup.

The newest version of WMWiFiRouter ($$$) allows you to do this over wifi, BT, or USB. If you have the money, it's a great program.

I have WMWifiRouter and use it with my laptop. How do i use it with bluetooth to get internet on my Dell X51? The x51 wants to dial a number when you setup a connection.

[Q] Internet if i connect my htc hd2 to the computer?

hello guys im new in this and i have a question...
If i connect my htc hd2 to my laptop via USB... will i have internet?
im in prepaid mode and when i try to join to my facebook without connecting my cellphone i cant open the facebook... but when i connect it to my laptop via USB i can join to everything...
CAn you guys help me please?

It's called tethering. It shares your phones internet with your computer/shares your computers internet with your phone.

so if i normally dont have internet on my phone.. but then i connect it to my laptop i will have internet on it?

Yes, but only if your laptop already has some kind of internet connection such as WiFi.

ooh nicee... very thanks for helping me..

I think there is some misleading information here:
Tethering is when you're accessing the internet on your PC using the HD2 internet connection and your HD2 data plan.
I think he is doing the opposite. He is being able to access the internet on his HD2 only when he is connected to his PC and is using the PC's internet connection. I think he does not have a data plan for his HD2 because he is on a pre-paid account.
Somebody correct me if this is totally wrong.

[Q] is there any way to share a computers internet connection via phone?

I am interested in taking the internet connection from a desktop computer through USB on my phone and then using the phones wireless to share the connection to my laptop.
At my work the only way to connect to the network is if they allow your specific computer onto the network. I have been getting around this by using a mac that is on the network and setting up an ad-hoc network. This had worked well but they are replacing the mac with a brand new Dell tomorrow! Ah!
Any ideas on how I can share that network? None of the windows machines in our office have a wireless card and due to whatever security I can't just plug in.
Please note I am not trying to tether.
Thank you for any help!

Well, I couldn't think of a way with the phone. But I did come up with this. http://www.staples.com/Netgear-WNCE2001-Ethernet-to-Wireless-Adapter/product_865869?cmArea=SEARCH
Connect your computer to a switch, connect this to said switch. Then switch to lan port. Then set up ad-hoc using this? Little pricy but meh?

there are many ways to do this, you could use CM7 for one, it has wifi tethering built in.
there is PDAnet that tethers through usb and wifi (i think)
also go to the threads for your phone and look around to see how other users have accomplished it themselves.

[Q] Q to the xda braintrust

I have a unroot my touch 4G, also my wife unroot G2 both with "unlimited" internet, a laptop and a wireless hp printer, but I have not internet service at home like comcast or uverse, only from my phones. So to connect my laptop most times I turn on portable hotspot in my phones or I can use EasyTether but can't use my printer wireless.
So the question, is there any way to wireless connect my printer? is there any App that can help me?
thanks in advance!!!

You have to connect your printer to the wireless network. your printer isn't connected to the phone's AD-HOC tethering.

Ok, but how I do that and where, in the laptop or phone?
Sorry but I an totally new at this

I don't know you'll have to refer to your manual. I don't use wireless printers.
