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?

Could someone please help? I;ve got a spectec wifi card, WM5 driver. I get the antenna symbol, but no bars or signal strength. I 'configure' the wlan 11b network adapter for server assigned IP address AND connection to 'the internet' but no joy. Is there something at the router end i need to do?
What device are you using? why the WM5 driver? Is that driver also backwards compatible with WM2003?
Its the compact II, hence wm5. The spectec wlan card is backwards compatible with wm2003, but drivers are specific to the os (at least that's my understanding) Well, when i tap on IE i just get 'connecting' and that's it. Any ideas? Spectec don;t seem to be responding...i don;t know if its a driver issue or what...

You'll get the answers in the correct forum. Just go to the link above.
Mda Compact II, htc-charmer,etc,etc..but what's in a name? Man, this is the right place ?!?
my mistake....keep forgetting that there is a Charmer out there :lol:
There isn't an official forum for the Charmer as yet in this site....what is your router brand? Can the WLAN detect the SSID of your router? Is the SSID broadcast in your router switched on?
First thing is that your Wi-Fi must be able to detect that there is an access point nearby and should at least pick up the SSID of your network.

You'd be better off using the DHCP to "ON" on your wifi server. But if you manually configure it to use your own IPs, you also need to manually configure the IP settings on your Handheld. I cant tell specific details of how to do it on your handheld because i dont use spectec wifi card. But you should be able to look at its settings and tweak it.
Also make sure, as O2mininoob above said that your SSID must be Broadcast. Also make sure that MAC address filtering is OFF, otherwise you also have to manually input your handheld's MAC address.
Let me just add, i'm running apple-mac wireless networking - does that really matter? I can access wireless via non-Mac laptops - a second point, the spectec wlan utility on the mda won't open even after reinstalling.
Ok, I;ve disabled all restrictions on wireless clients on the base station -
But i;m not sure what SSID is, nor can i find anything about broadcasting under the settings.
P.S But there's one thing i don't get which might be of some significance (or probably not!)
1. Under the 'internet' tab on the PC (not the mda) which deals with TCP/IP settings, i'm showing one IP address which is teh same as the router address.
2. Under the 'network' tab (which deals with how the base-station's internet connection is shared with other computers) I'm sharing a single IP address using dhcp which is different from the above IP and router address.
Does the difference between 1 & 2 mean anything? Three laptops in the place are connecting without problems.
Well, thanks for any light on the matter
Sorry i dont know anything about apple-mac networking, but, if your other computers can connect to your router, then theres no problem with your router...
the problem might be with the way you connect your handheld to your router...
you configure your handheld the way you configured your computers to connect to your router.
about SSID> on your hanheld, if you perform a search for wireless network, can it find your wireless network name? (example> ''Belkin Wireless'' or ''Netgear'').
if your handheld fiinds it, then dont worry with SSID as im sure it is being broadcast.
also, make sure that wireless mode is set to both 802.11b and g.
My Spectec card came with drivers and a WLAN Utility program. When you run this program, it usually displays the SSID with the strongest signal. Do you have it installed in your PPC? What does it say when you run it?
Also, go to Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. If your Spectec driver was installed correctly, you'll have a window displaying all the SSID's that the card has detected. Tap and hold on your router's SSID and tap connect.
HTH. Good luck.
Spectec tells me that the wlan utility is incompatible with WM5. And i;m not getting a list of any SSID's. I've pretty much given up! Cheers for the feedback.
There's a WM2005 Spectec Driver here. Maybe you can try downloading this one, un-install the one in your PPC and install the new one.
Good luck.
I have been searching for more than 3 hours for some kind of driver for my T-Mobile Dash, to use it as a GPRS/EDGE Modem. My iBook is an old G3 model, so even if I were willing to purchase Missing Sync (which I'm not, btw), my iBook is not supported, as it is not a G4 or better.
I am looking for a FREE driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger, specifically an "RNDIS" driver. I am not particularly looking for speculation. I believe I have the correct modem scripts, but I can't get my Mac to see the USB Modem. Yes, I have put my Dash into ICS mode. Yes, I am running Windows Mobile 6. Yes, I have all of the updates to OS X. Yes, I have tried searching the forums (this one, and several others). Yes, I have tried "Googling it", which produced much good information, but no solutions to my problem. Although my Dash is Bluetooth enabled, my iBook is not. Yes, I know I can add a USB Adapter. I may well do that in the near future. Right now, however, I'm just looking for an RNDIS USB driver for Mac OS X. I don't need Synchronization features, at the moment.
Anyone have any ideas??
Correction: Does anyone have any "good" ideas??
Thanks,

I just wanted to touch this and see if anyone had any information to help. My girlfriend has a new Pantech Duo and I would like to get USB tethering working for that. I did find a couple sites that may help (HowTo: USB Internet Sharing With Linux And Windows Mobile 6), but I don't know enough about the technology to feel comfortable trying it. Thanks.
I use my wizard as a modem sometimes just using Internet Sharing in my TNT Rom. You may be able to find a .cab for it. From there just use activesync/WMDC. I haven't tried it on activesync, only on WMDC.
he's using mac
download wmwifirouter by chainfire or the free trial of walkinghotspot (if your handset and mac have wifi), or a micro bluetooth dongle if not.

Pantech Duo doesn't have Wifi. That was my first attempt before I realized it didn't have it, because I'm using that solution with my Kaiser.
RE: bluetooth. I haven't had a lot of success with a reliable connection. I've tried with my Kaiser and successfully configured it, using it to connect three or four times from my house, but as soon as I went on the road, I couldn't get it to connect at all, using the same steps as before. I'm sure that's either karma or equipment smarter then operator, but I'm hoping for a USB solution for simplicity (theoretically) as well as the better data throughput.
SyncMate
Well, if you are using a Mac then here is what i used to do before I got Missing Sync.
For Syncing contacts and dates and such i used Eltima Softwares SyncMate. Runs pretty good and can be done using the USB cable. It also provides the option to do it over Wifi, which is faster. The Full version allows your to Sync even more stuff I believe.
For Syncing files, I simply paired my phone with my mac and transfered the mp3's, jpg's, etc.
Hope this helps,

Welcome to the hell which is created when you have a Mac and a WM device!
I have been mucking around with trying to get my internet connection shared with my MacBook pro for a couple of months. Here is what I have tried
- Bluetooth PAN - There is an issue with the MacBook Pro whereby the bluetooth PAN will produce incredibly bad latency issues rendering it useless
- Modem Scripts (Bluetooth)- Have never found one which would connect....I have tried a few
- Mobile Stream (USB) - Never managed to get a connection. The support team said that they had never seen the issues I sent in logs. They will investigate and hopefully resolve in future releases.
-PDAnet (Bluetooth)- It actually works! although it seems to hang the dialer process on the Mac periodically which requires a reboot to resolve
-Wifirouter - It works although it caused issues with access points in the office and drained the battery very quickly.....even when powered from the MAC it would empty the battery. Worked OK when using a mains charger.
-VMware Fusion to XP desktop (USB) - Works and works well however you can't provide (well i havent got it working) an internet connection to the Host Mac.
At the moment I am using the PDAnet 'solution' but I am always looking for something more reliable. A usb connection would be better and more reliable as there seems to be big issues on the Mac bluetooth environment.
Cheers

Hell, I couldn't even find an RNDIS driver for windows (apart from installing ActiveSync) which is why I made the Linux post.
Yeah, OSX is *nix based, but I don't think you can use Linux packages on it, what I know about macs could be written on the back of a postage stamp though.
Regarding the VMWare solution, did you try enabling internet sharing for WinXP in the VMWare session (using a different IP to the one the Mac uses) and set the default gateway of the Mac to the IP of the XP machine in VMWare?
What I mean here is that the PPC shares the connection to the VMWare windows machine via USB and the VMWare windows shares the connection to the Mac via TCP/IP.
To be honest I never really played about with sharing the virtual machine with OSX too much. I was a bit put off with running fusion like that all the time as it sucks the life out of the battery when out and about.
Until a better solution is available I will stick with PDAnet. It does put me off windows mobile (slightly) moving forward. It would be interesting to see if the Bluetooth PAN connection works correctly without the latency issue on the diamond when it is available. If it worked properly it would be the best solution.
Cheers
Aidan

With VMWare Fusion, setup VPN connection for the OS X host to connect through guest

I was reading this thread and you gave me the idea which led me to a workable solution so I thought I'd share back. I'm in the same boat as many ppl with latest MBP which doesn't work well with BT PAN (slooooowwwww). I sort of needed Fusion anyway since I'm starting to write WPF apps and performance is terrible over RDP from OSX (different subject). Anyway, here are some keys to getting this to work:
1. Setup a private network (not bridged or nat)
2. Install activesync on guest and fire up 'Internet Sharing' from WM6 device and connect device to Mac with USB cable.
-at this point you should be able to get online from the guest OS through the mobile device as previous post indicates-
Here is where the fun starts:
3. Create an advanced network connection on the guest (accept incoming connections, aka VPN connection)
4. *IMPORTANT* Go to the TCP/IP settings for the advanced network connection and setup a range of IP addresses in the same subnet as the active interface attached to the WM6 device (run ipconfig to determine). Make sure that 'clients can request their own IP address' is unchecked. Make sure this range falls outside of the IP address assigned to the guest interface from the WM6 device.
5. On the host Mac, create a new VPN connection (PPP) and set the host to the private IP address assigned to the guest (again, you can determine that through running ipconfig on the client). *IMPORTANT* Go to the advanced settings for the VPN connection on the Mac and set the DNS to point to the IP address of the router of the guest WM6 device interface.
6. Connect to the VPN from the Mac host and you should be off and running.
It works flawlessly with very good speed (relatively speaking) over the 3g connection. To get online in a pinch, now I just need to fire up the guest (which takes just a couple of seconds from a saved state), connect my device via usb with internet sharing started, and then connect to the vpn from the Mac.
Hi,
I'm desperate. I tried now hours after hours but it will not work.
Here is what I want to do.
I have a Toshiba E800 WIFI, operating system is pocketPC 2003SE. Furthermore I have laptop (Windows XP Home) which is connected via wireless to my Router.
Now I will access from my PocketPC and from my laptop to the Internet. Ok, this works. Via WIFI I connect to the router and have access to Internet. Now I try to have access from my PocketPc to my laptop and backwards. This will not work!
I use static IP and when I do a ping from my Laptop (192.168.2.100) to my PocketPC (192.168.2.102) it works and backwards too. Also a ping to my router (192.168.2.1) works from both OS. But I cannot see my folders from the Laptop at the pocketPC and backwards.
I tried Resco explorer and Total commander but it worked not, too.
Can anybody help me to fix the problem before I go crazy?
Thanks a lot.
Can nobody answer this question?
I think I have an error in reasoning but I cannot get on it at the moment.
if your router use wifi and your pda got wifi
you just connect to your router your pc dont need to be on
and unless you have some odd router settings setup
dhcp should auto fill ip gateway and dns to your pda
and give it access to the internet
Yes thank you this works too.
I conect to the Internet via DHCP-Router which is no problem but I have not access to my folder on my laptop and from my laptop to my PDA. This is the problem. Is there any software which can do this for me or can I do some settings in windows by my own?
I think the problem is gone now, the swith for WIFI is broken, sh...
Anybody knows if there is a software possibility to switch it on??
Hi to all
as i heave seen there is no solution for reverse tethering for android.
partial solution may be in using adb forward command and some sort of tunneling on windows.
What i think is that software on windows machine acts as tcp/ip tunnel and all packets are transfered to usb and on android device should run app that acts as other side of tunnel.
since im not software developer i wonder if someone might take a look at this type of solution for reverse tethering
please no solutions as buying router and similar.

Errr... no? Android is just linux, so you could do anything with it. It should be possible to tether using wifi, bluetooth or even usb.
I was reverse-tethering over bluetooth some time ago, cause I didn't have data plan.
Root your phone - most decent roms have ad-hoc support, so you could very easily share your internet connection from windows. I don't know about BT and USB on Windows. I think there are some PAN managers, so you will be able to create BT connection. Also I think there is usbnet driver for windows. But I don't know, whether it's possible to share internet to these two connections. It's all much easier on linux ;-)
i was thinking about sharing thru wifi and bt but when i activate ICS ip address changes and router at work doesn't like that...
using usb- i did find some reference about Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device and i got drivers but i can not figure out how to install them without messing adb.
my phone(lg gw620) is rooted and i do agree that on linux is easier but due to company policy i heave to use windows.
Have you tried conectify for your PC?

I'm not sure what do you mean. You connect your PC to a router using cable and want to share this connection to a phone using wifi, right? Then ICS shouldn't change your IP on router side (ethernet one) - AFAIK it set IP of interface you share *to*, not *from*. Modifying *from* connection doesn't have much, cause it would always broke your connection to the internet. Are you sure you share it in correct direction? ;-)

Humm.... so that's what the point of adhoc support on phone would be. I couldn't think of any reason my phone would need to pick up an adhoc connection
Ahh or maybe you have 192.168.0.* subnet in your work, ICS set same subnet on wifi side and this is your problem?
Also you could try to bridge these connections instead of doing "normal" sharing. It's easier and if your router doesn't do some MAC checks, this should work.
Isn't there are a easier way like we had on WM6. I am wanting to do it since ages and couldn't get through.

Could you recommend such a decent rom? I'm using LG GT540. So far didn't see a need to root, but internet connection sharing is definitely worth it.

It's possible, but Widcomm bt stack is needed, microsoft's built-in can't do it.
Search for Widcomm bt software v 5.0.1.801- Logitech branded (doesn't ask for licence files and no "software expired" message). NOTE- Widcomm drivers are not WHQL certified.
I use BTPAN for my ancient laptop with WinXP and Xubuntu 10.04, no problems with connection
@gen_scheisskopf
bt pan does exactly same as ics would. problem is that firewall at work doesn't work with other IP address then ones assigned by dhcp. doing bridje of two networks messes up ip addresses and then firewall messes with me .
why is it so hard to achieve? windows limitation or android limitation? can we write software to behave like generic rndis (winmo device description)?

Both. As I said if you have some decent ROM and OS on your PC, then this is just few clicks. I have an Ubuntu, so I click on "create network", then my G1 detects it and connects without any problem. That's all. On Windows Vista you won't have DHCP server and good NAT capabilities. On WinXP you will have problems even with creating a network. On the other hand if you have stock Android on your device, you will get into problems too.

some time ago i heave found drivers for linux devices that in windows it is installed as network device. i need to find that again.(here they are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4438553&postcount=41)
maybe this can be used to enable android to act as usb/network device and then to make some sort of routing in windows from regular network to this virtual usb/network...
time to bash my head with solutions and to try some of them, windows pc is ready for format c:.

Reverse thetering in windows is possible and easy...
but it may depend on some drivers from your phone manufacturer.
I am using a Motorola XT300 Spice.
To use a USB reverse tether (i.e. sharing the computer network, so I can connect the phone to the internet to sync emails or browse the app market when I don't have a data plan from my company or a wi-fi network available) with XT300:
On the XT300:
- enable USB debugging
- root your phone (z4root works on the xt300)
- connect the USB cable and connect the phone on the computer
- a menu window will appear, select the Motorola PC Tools option
On the computer (tested with Windows 7):
- wait for all Motorola driver's be installed
- a new network interface will be created. That is your phone
- on the network management right click on the network interface that you use to connect to the internet, select properties, advanced, mark the internet sharing checkbox and select the network interface that has been created for your phone to share the connection
On the XT300:
- open a terminal emulator and type the comands
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
That is it. You have access to the internet.
On the computer don't forget to create rules in your firewall and/or anti-virus program to permit network traffic between the computer and the phone.
It should be even easier on Linux computers, since newer kernels usually have netusb support enabled but it seems that Ubuntu has its netusb.ko driver or some other needed module broken. I could not enable it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 but I could do this on Ubuntu 8.04 and Centos 5.x
I don't know if other android manufacturers are shipping NDIS5 USB capable drivers. I suppose that all have drivers but the only one that I have is the XT300. A little fidling with USB configuration may be needed, since names and options and menu can vary.
If someone knows the steps needed to enable usbnet on Ubuntu 10.04 I would appreciate the help.

You can easily undo this by disabling the internet connection sharing on the PC?
Its already here. I use it a lot. It is a standard feature on HTC sense revolution in the rom I am using. The function appear whenever you connect to PC with usb cable. So...
I guess you just need a sense rom or maybe extract it from sense...
