XDA II as a GPRS modem for PC: troubles, observations...

Again I am returns to install mine Himalaya as Bluetooth, or USB, modem, to dialup into GPRS from mine XDA II and to recieve data to mine host PC. Another words - I need to make my Himalaya GPRS dialup modem.
There is ... (I was think so...) great utility in XDA II programs - Wireless Modem. It has setup screen for USB, Bluetooth and even IrDA/serial GPRS modem emulation. So - first I decided to make it USB modem.
I called up my Task Manager under XP and killed out WCESCOMM.EXE - I mean... I closed up ActiveSync (one way to do that ).
So - than I am run on XDA II Wmodem, choosing USB connection, press start, and put device in cradle (I also doing this revesed - putting in cradle that press start)... Anyway - computer finds HTC USB Modem (!). And goes in long long installing plug and play device procedure... Somewhy it is have thinking very long tima and that requests me for usbser.sys file which I can't find anywhere - on XDA II disk, on sites, an in Windows directories. I just find some other usbser.sys from another... motorolla cell phone and trying substitute it (what else me to do?! ) - and of course it's not working. How to complete installation of that fu.nny thing?
So - I am decided to go another way... Trying bluetooth. I have Logitech USB BT Hub, WIDCOMM Stack (days before I've tried some moves on Micosoft BT Tranciever/Microsoft BT Stack)... Devices trying to connect but... My PC Requests me for phone number to dial... I've entered *99***1# as I've done earlier for SE T610 mobile phone. There is no connet for what I've hope ... One time 'Connection' pseudo-lamp on PDA screen becomes yellow and PDA indicates so it in GPRS but desktop will not connecting... Staying in "Dialing..." and so...
Does anyone meets this happy steps? Does XDA II works as external GPRS modem for someone?

Some updates....
Some Updates:
at least I've found usbser.sys (one from WinME and it not working, than I've found one for Win2K, In WinXP install CD-ROM there is no usbser.sys somewhy - who knows why?).
Now (install of HTC USB Modem still take somewhy big lags when it searching for device description)... but after it asks for usbser.sys I pointed to it from Win2K, than install process successfully completed and device added.
So - I've setted up dialup connection thru HTC USB Modem, entered *99***1# as dial string and other parameters.
On Wireless Modem on XDA II screen 'lamp' connect becomes yellow, some blinkings of 'Send Data' and 'Recieve Data' also visible, and for now connections process stucks at dialup manager connection message:
'Dialing number...'
'Checking username and password...'
'Registering at network' <- HERE :-(
and after that dialing procedure aborted with a message: Error 734.
But before somewhy computer sends for it ATH command, here is log file of session between PC and XDA II with running Wireless Modem over USB:
ATZ;E0
OK
AT
OK
ATL0M1X4
OK
ATS0=0
OK
AT
OK
ATL0M1X4
OK
ATDT*99***1#
+CREG: 1
+CREG: 1
+CREG: 1
CONNECT
ATH - somewhy PC sends this for XDA II but byself still trying to connect and writtin 'Registering at network...' message... :-(
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and XDA II also drops connection and returns in Wireless Modem software to ungrayed buttons ' Start' 'Stop' so I can press them again but for now there is no effect of course.
Any suggestions?

I have used my Xda2 as a gprs modem. the dial number should be *99# it will then connect through. I made a new dialup conection on my laptop and just used this as my conection. I did not need to use the wireless Modem program on the device. I have not tried with usb but it worked fine with bluetooth. Have you set up your GPRS settings corectly on the XDA2?

2 Butler: GPRS, from XDA II byself, works great.
Tryed now *99#... Same result: Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated... Let's go googling something about that PPP error... :0)...
He He! I've done that (PARTIALLY)! $). PPP error can be caused by authentication, so after I try PAP/CHAP I've got result.
Just go into XDA II Settings -> Connections -> GPRS setting and switch from PAP into CHAP authentication... After this through Bluetooth I've got connection.
Through USB still no result...
Somewhy after "Dialing", "Checking user name", "Registering in network..." connection on XDA II has been dropped (even yellow connection "lamp" on XDA screen goes out) ... :-(
but PC stills in "Registering in network" state...
At least a half-solution I have... Maybe this info will be userfull for society here.

VPN using L2TP and certificate?

Did anybody ever try to conect to a MS 2003 VPN-Server via L2TP, authenticated by a certificate? I can't understand why they don't fix that issue? Nobody seemed to have a try except NamCE and me (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28706).
For me it never worked. I tried the two German T-Mobile Roms on Wizard and Universal. It's everytime the same: VPN connection bubble pops up for a second and then issues an error "VPN Server Problems". But the damn device never even tries to send a real Packet to the VPN server!!! Of course i checked GPRS or WiFi connection was set up successfully before.
There is only one Exception: If i deactivate the Dialer Skin it works - but only once after soft reset. And on Himalaya equipped with WM2005 it works too(!)
L2TP VPN would be great for professional use of the device in enterprise enviromnemt....
Any idea?

RAS Connection Issue on 3G O2 Atom Life

I have existing software that establishes a RAS connection on PPC2003 using IPWorks NetDial component. I am now trying to get the same program to run on a 3G device running Mobile 5 (O2 Atom Life) without success. The IPWorks RAS utility returns 'The port is already in use or is not configured for Remote Access dialout'. The phonebook entry I am using connects successfully when done manually, and I have also confirmed that nothing else has a data connection. I have also tried the RAS utility from Sapphire Solutions with no success either. The Sapphire utility can see an existing USB Activesync connection on PPC2003 but fails to do so on the 3G Mobile 5 device. Can anyone help me with this problem? Is it a 3G issue, Mobile 5 issue, or even a problem with the device itself?

Internet connection issue

Hi all!
I'm having a very strange issue with my Internet connection on the niki.
I have configured the default Internet connection (the one without VPN and Proxy config) to use the ISP parameters to connect to GPRS.
It connects but it's not working (I tried to navigate with IE but got error opening page).
So I created a new connection (in this case I could set up a proxy, but I left empty), with the same ISP config, selected it as the network to be use automatically to connect to internet, and it works very well.
Any idea about this strange behaviour?
Thanks!!!!
Alex

how to connect my ipaq to the internet via active sync

hi all,
i've been trying unsuccessfully for days now to try to connect my ipaq 114, running on windows mobile 6 to the internet via my desktop connection. someone suggested the internet pass through connection but apparently active sync does not support that anymore. i have absolutely no idea what to do or if i can even connect to the net via my desktop connection. my pda is also bluetooth enabled. would that be an easier option to do or not?
i've trie googling for answers but most times i end up more confused. can someone please help this newbie out . it would be most appreciated.

if your activesync is not set to block it or your firewall is not
then going into settings->connections->connections->advanced select network
and choosing my network or something like that
should force your device to use the ac connection as network

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i'm not sure but i always close my firewall when i active sync as my firewall always interupts my connection
i don't see this advanced select network. so i just click on connections settings in active sync and enable evrything.didn't work. do i have to like set up new modem connection or something really basic i have not done

it's a tab called advanced which have a button called select networks

on ur desktop puter, goto active sync connection settings and have it set to the connect to the internet...mine didn't work if i had it on automatic setting
GL

ok i have set it to this computer is connected to internet but it still says cannot cannot with current connection settings?

anyone got any ideas how i can connect my pocket5 pc to the internet using my desktop connection?

I am having a similar problem. my Windows Mobile 6 device works fine at home via Visa sync, or via Wifi. At work if I try to use activeSyn on Windows XP the sync part works fine, but I can't see the internet on the mobile device. On the palmtop I have tried the USB to PC advanced network functionality both on and off. I have also tried various suggestions on this thread, but not working.
any suggestions would be welcome
