cant get usb to send internet to pda!!!

I have searched everywhere (here and on other sites) and it seems like if I tell the activesync to pass through to the internet, I should have internet on my pda when connected via usb...
This is not happening! I went through all options and used a few troubleshooting things that nobody seems to mention (like ipconfig from the ppc msdos console) and I can't figure this out at all!
I am using a wallaby (siemens sx56) plugged into my laptop, which is wirelessly connected via home network into cable modem. I put every .exe file in the program files/activesync directory on the "pass through" list of the firewall.
When activesync connects, all looks normal unless I try to get online via ie (from the pocket pc). If I go to the ppc dos prompt and try ipconfig, it reads me back 192.168.55.101 as the ip address, and 192.168.55.100 as the gateway. These are not close to my network settings. It can't ping my laptop and my laptop can't ping the ppc using the above address.
What am I missing??? I am using xda-developers operating system and activesync 3.8 on my laptop. PLEASE HELP!!!!
ps. I am planning on getting a wireless card for the ppc - might I still have this problem when I try to connect using that too??
Thanks -- AshayinFLA

wallaby's SD interface dont support SDIO which are wifi and well everything but memory SD cards require
so getting wifi will not help you
activesync have some settings related to sharing the connection

so theres no way to get this thing online (except pay for cellular service or <supposedly> through usb cable)?
That sucks!
Anyway, as for the usb thing, I looked through activesync on my laptop and the only thing i could find is where it should connect to (internet or work). I tried both with no results. Is there anything I'm missing?

WiFi issues

1. hi is it possible to active sync over wifi connection.
2. is it possibile and if so how to network the wizard with my other computers in the house.
3. can i play media files audio/ video through my vario over a wifi connection if networked.
4. is file transfer possible over wifi from my desktop/ laptop to my vario.
please help. many thanks.

1. No. Activesync 4/4.1 does not include syncing over wi-fi any longer.
2/4. Depending how you have your wi-fi setup at home, you can map a drive on the PDA. I use Resco File Explorer and it is quite easy to do. Just this morning I mapped to my PC and grabbed a file I wanted. Copied it right to the wizard.
I don't think you can map a drive on the PC to represent the PDA, though. I haven't tried this since if I am at my PC, I would have the PDA with me and use Activesync.
3. Don't know this one.

many thanks for that

I'd like to add a question:
5. Can I use the WiFi internet connection on my Qtek 9100 on my laptop?
(qtek connected via WiFi + Laptop connected via USB = internet on laptop?)

file sharing w/macintosh over wifi connection

is there any way to share files between my wizard and an ibook with an airport card over a wifi connection? i was able to get the wizard to connect to the ibook but was unable to figure out how to move files between them.

How did you connect your Wizard to your iBook?
As far as I know, OS X does not recognize WM5 natively without the use of a third-party app such as MarkSpace's The Missing Sync.

I don't think there's any way to do that directly, unless maybe there's a
wizard ftp program. Or you could turn on the WebDAV server in Apache on your Mac, and access some files through http?
However, you can connect directly to your ibook with Bluetooth, not WiFi, pretty easily. Might be easier to just grab a bluetooth dongle.

File sharing over ad-hoc wifi

I just bought a usb wi-fi dongle so that i can connect to my wizard in office over wi-fi. Can anyone give any pointers how can i do file sharing in ad-hoc mode in such a way that i can access files on my office PC through my wizard without having a separate access point.
I tried connecting through ad-hoc mode and my wizard connects to the PC but doesn't show any shared folders and cannot find my PC (not even through IP) when using resco file explorer...

To browse network folder on your HTC you should install some additional software. I've tried PocketLAN to share files between notebook and HTC via Wi-Fi. It've been working flawlessly. But you have to set IP and network mask on your HTC as it's in the office network.

Hmmm, i just installed pocketlan...I saw that my PPC gets an IP of 169.254.11.69 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) and mycomp gets an ip of 169.254.87.204. Now am able to ping my comp using pocketlan on my PPC but am not able to map it. Whenever i try to do it, it says network address/name cannot be found.

that's strange What OS do you use?

You don't need any 3rd party software...
The Wizard will do this with it's built in file explorer.

Windows XP is the OS...

Did it finally after umpteen number of tries...Turns out ICS is necessary even for simple file sharing even though i do not want to surf net thru my PC's connection. And I also had to unplug my lan cable as the IP windows tries to assign once ICS is on is 192.168.0.x and this range is already used by my lan thus causing a conflict...Anyways, its better than nothing..I just wanted a faster medium to transfer files than BT which is painfully slow..
Any idea when are they going to provide an upgrade to BT 2.0 for wizard?

PROBLEM: sharing folder with WiFi...

Hi guys!
I'm trying to use (first time 4 me!) WiFi connection from my laptop and my Jamin in this way:
Start from scratch (without connections...) and turn on both wifi.
Create a new connection for only 2 devices from my Jamin without any security (4 the moment).
Now I can see the new wifi network on my laptop...
I chose connect from my laptop and the connections estabilish.
Handshake to retrieve the ip address is oaky and now I've got the connection from my 2 devices (Jamin and laptop).
On laptop I can ping the ip address of my Jamin but now I don't know what can I do with this connection.
Is it possible to share some folder on laptop and/or on Jamin to copy/remove/move some files?
Is it possible to use the std modem connection of my laptop for browsing the web from Jamin?
Is it possible to sync with Activesync my Jamin?
How can I do it, guys?

So just to clarify. You have a laptop connected to a wifi router, and your Jammin is connected to the same router. But your internet connection is obtained through a standard modem on your laptop. Am I right with all of this?
If so then sharing a folder on your laptop in order for you to browse, stream, rename, open, etc. from your Jammin is a piece of cake. Simply change your sharing values of the folder on your laptop. It should then appear on the network folder on your Jammin. I use Resco Explorer on the Jammin ... I couldn't get the standard file browser to work.
As far as sharing the internet, I'm pretty sure it can be done ... I did a similar thing with bluetooth a few years back but it was messy and unreliable. Can't help you much further sorry.
