Using phone as modem from laptop

I often send files via ftp on GSM conection to the internet 500k in size. I dial from my laptop using a bluetooth modem to the XDA2. It connects fine however it takes ages and even fails sometimes. If I use my nokia in the same position it sends 3 times quicker. I assume there is a modem string needed or something. Anyone got any ideas?
I have also no idea how to use GPRS from my laptop through the XDA2. I tried to install Vodafone Connect on my laptop but the installation allways comes up with an error message saying
'A file cannot be found, this error is catastrophic.'
That is not a nice mesage to me.
Any more ideas anyone????
I think I need a Jedi answer on this one

Have you tried the manuals here :
http://www.myxda.com/XdaII/serviceandsupport/template/XdaIIHowToUse.vm
there is one especially for you....

Thanks a bunch for that URL, It has helped. I found an AT String to put in the laptop under the Bluetooth modem settings which has made a more stable connection however I still have a pretty slow data flow rate, about 500Kbs when I was getting 900Kbs with the Nokia, do you know why? Can anyone help???
The web site also enabled me to use GPRS from laptop using the XDA2 which works a treat.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do this with the XDA I?

U NEED 2002 ROM .... OR GERMAN WM2003 (IF U UNDERSTAND GERMAN)
AND THE PROGRAM IS WModem (WIRELESS MODEM)

Can't get online on Universal, either by Wifi or when synced

Hi All,
Got myself a Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) a couple of weeks ago in Singapore, very pleased with it, luckily my pants have large pockets
But... I can't get online by WiFi. GPRS works well enough, but i'd rather not have to pay data fees when I can avoid it!
Anyway I can connect to several different wirelss networks with various access points and routers, but can't open any website or log onto MSN. Connection to the access point is fine, IP address is provided by DHCP, but it looks as if the DNS server is not (even manually specifying the server does not help). When I open IE, the status bar shows Locating.... for about 15 seconds then I get a connection lost error.
And it's the same even if I'm running activesync (I could get online on my XDAII this way)...
So, has anyone experienced something similar or can point me to the obvious configuration that I missed, I would be mucho grateful. 8)

Well this gets stranger and stranger... After installign pocket mechanic I could verify that the DHCP lease was working properly, IP, DNS and gateways are all assigned properly. But, still no IE, still no MSN. Installed agile messenger for the heck of it, and although it gives a lot of connection error in the beginning, I am able to get on MSN.
So, any thoughts? I did a hard reset already, to no avail...

Situation solved, sorta... Installed Opera, works flawlessly... Seems pocket IE just does not like me

It's not just you.. I have the same problems... (You can see my msg in the Universal forum.. Same **** as yours. PIE and MSN would not work as well as any other internal prg using PIE's engine someway or another.. Third pary networking prg work though, dns is fine, ping is fine, name resolving fine.. i don't likw opera and wonder if you solved this weird problem..
Also if you can tell me the list of today plugins and programs installed you have.. i want to see if there's a correlation between your situation to mine...
thanks,

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.

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 works, PIE doesn't ...

Hey guys,
Strange problem I got here... I connect to internet via WiFi, use any internet app without any problem, except for Pocket IE and Outlook. I have no idea why is that so because few weeks ago all that worked fine!
I suppose Pocket IE doesn't know about existing connection, it doesn't seem to try to use it (no "Locating..." or this sort of stuff), just "Connecting..." for 0,25s, then "0 kB" for 0,25s, that's it!
Maybe you've experianced sth like that, I don't feel like hard-reseting my Wizard again...
Thx, TroLoo

remote control via internet
hi guys,
perhaps I am blind too, but I can't find anything here that would help me.
I am looking for a Software that helps me controlling my Mobile Device (HTC Touch Diamond) from my Computer, via internet. I search a software like VNC but working in reverse!!! So, i need to run a program installed on my diamond while the phone is several miles far from me
Does anyone know there something helpful?
Thanks a lot
P.S. sorry for my english....

Use VNC server (pocketvnc) instead of client.

vnc connection problem
hi HwangPL,
thank you very much for your replay. After your post i've downloaded pocketVNC server version 1.4.2.0(demo version), but i'm not be able to use it. The vnc client on my pc says "connection failure". I think I'll go crazy before sunday......
If you or anybody else have a solution please post it!!!!!!!!!
Thank you one more time.

Try to use old VNC Viewer on your PC. I cannot connect when my mobile phone uses GPRS connection, but it works with WIFI.
I cannot test it right now, cause I don't have any WIFI connection (it surely worked some time ago).
I'll try to test it tomorrow maybe

I think there are a lot of problems with the type of connection. I use a hsdpa connection with my diamond, while my pc is connected to internet with another mobile phone that works with an umts connection. I'm not sure how to configure the firewall. However i'm not sure how to configure the tabs of vncpocketserver. I think that's why i'm not understand very well english (i'm italian) and on the web i didn't found anything wrote in my language.
So, you are my only, precious, last chance......

OK. I used vncserver v.1.4.5.0 demo, on my pc VNC Viewer Enterprise E4.5.1 via WIFI (on mobile as internet connection) and it worked. Goodluck!

hi, i came back!!!
Finally i've found the solution. The problem is the IP address. My operator doesn't give me a public IP but a NAT address. This is a very big problem because the phone can't accept any type of connection by the web. Fortunately i found a beutiful program called "Hamachi" that works on both the computer and the PocketPC. So i resolved my problems.
Thanks very much to all for suggestions.....

Hey there,
I am having i think a small problem with both SOTi and My mobiler.
I Have a Touch diamond and when i am seeing the camera on the PC all goes black in PC preview, but on device i can see the camera images.
Can anyone help.
Brgds

Hi
Strange nobody else having same problem.
I believe the reason with the no preview its due to the autofocus, can anyone check on this.
Tks in advance
