Internet via bluetooth

Hey Guys,
I'm new to the PPC,where i just bought a K-Jam and installed activesync 4.1 on my laptop (winxp sp2).
i have also a bluetooth dongle (MSI) and it seems to be working fine with me, i can connect my kjam to the laptop to syncronize my data.
now when it comes to using the internet via my laptop, i'm lost
i've been reading all threats which confused me when setting up the connection and i'm still not able to work it.
please if anyone can help me step by step , i'll be thankfull
thanx in advance.

I have noted by Bluetooth experiences with connecting my Xda Exec to my Home PC internet connection. It took me over a weeks worth of shouting & frustration to get this working as I ended up falling down every pitfall you could fall down! :evil:
Anyway, take a look here:

all you need to do is discover your device and connect to the dial-up networking connection.....
once that's done it's just a matter of getting the correct phone number, username and password (if applicable).
In the US for T-Mobile the phone number is *99# and there is no user name or password.

dear underwurld
thinks for your fast response and for trying to help, not sure if the link is working at the moment , i've tried to open it several times.
lvlolvlo,
i donot think it can be that easy, i came across alot of threats were all about the activesync and ports and network connections , what made it more complicated.
any help..?

Oops sorry about that....
Missed a bloody 't' out try again:

Dear Underwurl,
i would like to thank u for these amazing information and references , however ( to tell u the truth) it is still confusing to me..
i thouhgt there might be any guidelines where i could go through steps
1-
2-
.
.
and so on...
i think i have no problem connecting my device to the laptop ( not through the dialup thing but through the activesync 4.1 and it says connected in both)
also all reference were talking about incoming ports and outgoings ones which doesnot exist in activesync4.2 ( i know it might exist on 3.8 ver)
1- if it is somehow connected to the activesync, are there anything to be configured for the proxy server , and how ( i'm using my office lan)??
2- when it says connected i try to open IE but all i get is page is under construction...what does that mean???
3- is it something related to the bluetooth (msi) driver or ghosted ports??
u c....i'm going randomly considering all these thoughts, which is confusing me alot...
will appreciate any help...

OK....
So, just to be clear:
Have you installed those nice WICOMM Bluetooth services installed on your PC?
Andy
PS
Do you have WiFi in your office???? Bin Bluetooth if you have!!!!!!!

yes, I installed the BT software that came with my BT dongle
it shows widcomm in my driver data
and no idonot have wifi in my office
what do u think?

while connected with my laptop via activesync, i checked the tcp/ip setting with pocket mechanic, it is showing a different ip address than the one in my laptop connection (LAN connection),
but showing a correct host name
and it says " Local area networks cannot directly communicate across wide area networks because they are defind by a private class of ip's"
any idea?????
when i open internet explorer on my kjam it says "page not found"

is it that difficult for you guys,
no one have gone through this before??

How to use GPRS Internet on Laptop

How can you use GPRS Internet from your O2 Exec/JASJAR on Laptop/Desktop computer?
I am guessing there should be a way through the wireless modem. Any ideas guys?

Activate the wireless modem, install the device as a modem on the computer.
Dial *99# with the computer..

Hi all
I just avtivated by wireless modem through similarly named app on Exec.
Then on laptop dialed *99# and all was looking well until Win XP laptop said registering computer on the network.
Then error message on Laptop said device wasn't functioning.
Whilst it was trying though the coloured lights on the wireless modem(exec) app were flashing away like merry.
That was entertaining enough but any clues as to where I'm going wrong?
Using a bluetooth dongle with IVT soleil on laptop.
Which works for activesync and headset.
Have stopped activesync on exec in order to get this far.
Phil

You have to install USB modem drivers for your Exec on your XP desktop. I don't know if the modem will work through bluetooth. I use USBmodem drivers with my Vario and it works perfectly. I don't know if you need to use different drivers for your Exec, but I will attach the ones that work with the Vario.

Try a soft reset (that worked setting up a mate's Universal with the same error), sounds like you have the modem installed and everything else set up.
Btw when his couldn't connect with that error, it couldnt connect to the network when not functioning as a modem anyway.

thank you for the modem driver for Universal! I really looking for it :wink:

this is about the best walkthrough i have ever read. so Koksie thanks if you wrote this....
anybody got any ideas when this error comes up when i go to start "4- Then in Programs, click on "Wireless Modem". With the Connection type on USB, click on "Start". " and i click start thie error "ERROR .... COME OPEN ERROR"
any ideas what that means?!
Jay

I did not write it myself, just found it and passed it on because it worked perfectly for me. I have no idea why it gives the error you mention. I think the walk through was found on this forum, perhaps try to find the thread and ask the question there? The person who posted this originally might perhaps know the answer. good luck!

I've tried this loads of times all I get is a COM OPEN ERROR on the XDA.. it did work once briefly then wont work again..

I had the same problem. In bluetooth settings delete all the outgoings port that you created. In my case it was port 8 for gprs....Now works¡¡

well thanks for the help.. lol although that doesn't sound to promising maybe i will take it back to o2?
arhh just saw dherrero's reply i may try thatl
jay

hey hey! great thanks for that works brillantly. now i just need to test my tomtom to see if he can stil connect to my GPS device:

Update
Koksie and Kevino most helpful.
I gave up on Bluetooth and got me USB cable out.
The USB modem connects and works well now.
I am not sure the "receive all incoming beams" tick is neccessary?
For O2 customers I found this which was quite useful for the USB Modem Connections settings on the Laptop/PC.

BTW I can connect for my emails but have to setup a new Email Account in Outlook to send using the O2 smtp server (smtp.o2.co.uk).
However I still can not get Internet Explorer to be able to browse on this GPRS connection, any ideas?

Well m8...as you bring this up...
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.
It seems to me tat this problem is only with o2 :?
I have also tried in the passed to make phones work with laptops an tomtom go's etc for the gprs connection usage and had no joy.... at first i thought it was the phones...tested with Nokias 6310i, 6230, 6230i, SE t630, w800, w900i, etc all running the latest firmware and 02 active settings and always connection errors.
In the meantime ALL the other networks like voda, t-mobile, orange etc work like a charm on the same setups.

Internet Connection Sharing with OSX (avoiding WIFI?)

I have an issue with my MacBook Pro and my Hermes. I want to share the internet connection from the phone but have issues with each solution I have attempted so far
Wifi - I was using the Wifirouter application successfully until I was advised that the channel on which it is operating is conflicting with an essential wireless router in the area. I cannot therefore use it. I cannot see any way of changing the channel.
Bluetooth - There seems to be an issue with the MacBook Pro bluetooth which causes the connection to be unusable.
USB - This would be my preferred solution however there doesnt seem to be a way to allow the Mac to use this connection.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Aidan

Found this and wondered whether this could possibly work with OSX?
Anyone got any ideas?

I dont suppose there are any Mac gurus here? I am having difficulty compiling the source due to the inability to locate /lib/modules. I presume there is an alternative location on OSX?

Yes I am (6.1) with no problems using it. Make sure that you get the modem scripts copied over (to Library/Modem Scripts), shut down the computer, plug up the phone and put it in modem mode, then start the computer (with phone connected). Go into the System Preferences and click on the network icon and it should say new port detected.
FWIW, I have OS X 10.4...

Hi Kenny,
I have the USB modem option in my control panel and I have seklected the Mobile Stream GSM script and disabled the wait for dial tone. The number I am dialing is *99#. I am getting "A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again".
Any ideas? I am running the USB Modem util on the phone at the same time....
Cheers
Aidan

What Mac OS? Are you using Leopard???

Yep, I am running Leopard....

Using Touch HD as a modem with XP

I can connect to the internet wih the phone just cannot set it up as a modem for my laptop - driving me to despair.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - Phone on UK vodafone.

Hi
Thanks but no info on my issue there, might seem a rather basic problem for this forum but this is causing me a real headache.
Cheers

I used to use my old HP 6300 as a dial-up modem a few times and when I moved to a Wizard and now a Kaiser I wanted the same ability. You need ModemLink in your ROM (or installed from a .cab file). You also need the HTC USB Modem drivers installed on your PC.
You need to activate ModemLink and then install the drivers onto your PC. You should then have a new COM port and attached to this a HTC USB Modem. You need to change the CSD Line Type to get it to call 'real' analogue lines because by default it is set to v.110, set it to v.32 or v.34.
I have ModemLink (& Internet Sharing) cooked into my ROM and have probably only used ModemLink a couple of times. It does work though.

I'm interested too.
I hate ICS because I can't remotely control my device.
Also, it's simple to get automatical internet connection if device is used as modem.
Nokia in this is really better imho.

Really? I'm sorry but I can't remember.
However I tried just yesterday ModemLink app but it can't work on my touch hd. When I start the app it doesn't anything. I tried also WirelessModem where I can choose to use USB interface but WXP can't recognize the device as a usb modem. I tried anything but with no results.
Please can you update me?

So do you really want to use it as a modem, or do you want internet sharing? You used the word "modem," but from your description, it sounds like you really want to share the internet connection of your phone with your computer. Or do you actually have an ISP or some other service that you want to call? There is no internet sharing app on the touch HD? Try ICS Control maybe?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047

I really like to use my device as modem.
I'd like to go to Network Connection in WinXP and double click on a network link and push on "connect" button, compose *99# and go to surf the web.

Does it have wireless? If you use ICS control, and use the wireless to share the intenret, you can use active sync on the usb connection for remote control.

GENE - Internet access thru PC's Bluetooth Connection

I recently successful upgrade my GENE to WM 6.1 because i had many problems.
One of my problems is how to connect my GENE to my PC thru Bluetooth connection, my PC has WIFI connected to router at home.
i searched forums too much for accurate steps to do so, and i think it is a good idea to help all ppl here if i got a clear procedure to do so here.
Thanks in Advance.

I have no time to explain step-by-step here, but the first thing you have to do is make activesync works with bluetooth. When you are done, you could open PIE or opera and access the internet.

Any how, i appreciate your reply.
i'll try to google about this solution.
thanks a ton

Its very easy. I do it all the time.
Make sure BT is on on both PC and phone.
open activesync on phone and right softkey-> connect via bluetooth.
if they aren't paired you'll get the standard pairing screen etc.
now, when pairing make sure activesync is open on the desktop. And make sure activesync-> connection settings on the PC has 'allow connection to one of the following set to the correct COM port for BT (mine is COM12) Ideally, after doing this right, you should have 'activesync' appear as one of the services that your desktop can provide via BT.
Accept and repeat the first step
Note: If you get a dialog asking if serial connection should be made then accept it. (will come on PC)
once connected go to activesync on the PC. In options, select 'The internet' as the network the PC is connected to.
Just play around with the basic settings.
One thing to note is that you might have to configure the COM port on activesync in the desktop.
I set the COM ports up once long ago (purely by trying every combo there was) and forgot exactly how. I think it'll vary from PC to PC. However, I've been re-pairing a lot over and over again cause I've been trying out a lot of different ROMs... And I've not needed to change the COM port settings even once.
Basically, all you need is to connect to activesync via BT and you'll be able to use you's PC's connection on the phone.
This is for XP btw. Vista is mostly similar. I think its more straightforward though... most of the things are done automatically.
Hope it helped

Ya, follow charge1313's advice and if you dont get internet access even after this, download the attached registry file and double click it on your PC and reboot. This will enable the functionality, sometimes it gets disabled specially if you install Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
Have Fun!

SP2 was released on 26 May to public. To get it, go here :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx
Size depends on the download you choose, for 32bit machines its 348 MB in size.
Installing it freshened up my 1 year old Vista installation a bit, it became a little speedier. To tell you about the changes, the only thing i have noticed myself is the change of bluetooth stack to version 2.1 of bluetooth standard. The whole interface of bluetooth, the dialog boxes etc are also changed to a bit leaner looking ones

Both ways working .............
