internet connection sharing from pda to pc - Networking

Is there a way to do this? I have the pda connected with usb and activesync and I want to share this connection over the ad-hoc wireless network I created on the pda. The best thing would be setting a dhcp server on the pda and a gateway. But a gateway would be enough for me i can set up the ips myself. So how do I set up a gateway on my htc-wizard windows mobile 5 pda?? Internet connection sharing from PDA basically with wifi or bluetooth when the pda is connected to internet with usb and activesync.

are you saying you want the PDA to act as a router?

Connecting through Wi-Fi with PPPoE?

Hello all,
I have just bought a Trinity, and was trying to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi... The problem is, I have to connect through PPPoE with a username/pw. Does anyone know how to do it on the Trinity?
Please note that I'm not too computer-savvy... I just know that my Windows-based computers don't connect to the internet automatically; I have to launch an application and enter a login/pw to connect. On my Mac, I have to launch airport AND 'connect through PPPoE' to connect. I heard there are wireless routers that have a PPPoE feature, and was wondering how that works? maybe I can just configure the PPPoE on the router, so that I don't have to go through the whole login process when connecting through Wi-Fi...?
Alternatively, is it possible to connect to the internet with the Trinity through my laptop's internet connection using Bluetooth or USB? (i.e. using the laptop as a "modem", not the other way around)
Thanks a bunch!
As far as I am aware the Trinity doesn't support the PPPoE protocol. What you will need to do is probably use internet passthrough with activesync. This is done by setting up your PDA with activesync, the passthrough should work automatically. If not try going to start->settings->connections->USB? (or something like that) and unchecking the box. I had to uncheck the box for passthrough to work.
The only other way would be to get the wireless router to do the PPPoE for you. This is what I do with my router, however the way to do it differs from router to router. You should check the manual to see if it is supported.

Can't connect to the internet using Bluetooth Network Access

Hi!
I have Univeral with WM6 and Widcomm BT stack, and Windows XP , also
with Widcomm stack... I have Bluetooth Network Connection on my PC
configured to Share internet connection, and IP is 192.168.1.1, subnet mask
255.255.255.0
In My PocketPC, in connections, I have Bluetooth Internet Access Connection configured to use IP 192.168.1.2
I can connect with Bluetooth manager to Network Access Service to my PC,
wrom my PC I can ping my Pocket PC (192.168.1.2), and from PocketPC
I can ping my PC (192.168.1.1)... But I can't ping no external IP's and hosts..
I can't connect to any internet adress... What is wrong? I can only ping my PC...
Oh, And I don't know why, IPConfig on my PocketPC reports that my subnet mask is 255.255.255.255, maybe this is a problem? I tried to change
that subnet mask in registry, but always after connecting, it changes automaticaly to 255.255.255.255
Pls, help....
Hmmm.. Maybe somethig I have wrong with internet sharing on my PC?
I have internet through LAN. And I enabled internet sharing in Bluetooth
Network, is this wrong? Maybe I should turn internet sharing in My LAN Connection?
But when I ty to turn on Internet sharing in my LAN Connection, there is an
error, becouse Windowsd wants to set my ip to 192.168.0.1 and
this is impossible, becouse I have DHCP server in my network...
PLS HELP...

http://digitanium.blogspot.com/
Can someone help me with this?
I do the same thing as my curent internet is from a usb modem
so i turn on internet sharing on my pc
and set my phone's ip to be on the same subnet in my case 192.168.0.X
set my gateway to the ip on the pc in my case 192.168.0.1
set my dns to the same dns the pc use
if you don't know your dns
you can get it from a console and typing
iconfig /all
on your pc
tnx but i tried that and then i don't have internet on pc1 because of the mac of it is my password to the internet provider
can i somehow fis that?
ok i set my Local connection1(internet) to ics to the local connection 4 (activesync created and it made its address 192.168.0.1)
this seems to be normal but now my active sync can not connect to my device
and my laptop1 ip must be 10.10.16.79

default IP address

Hello!
I have connected phone to PC and set 'internet sharing' on the phone, to have internet access on the desktop. It works well.
Then I connected other PC to that PC, both through LAN cards and set up home network.
Then I wanted to set up ICS (internet connection sharing) on the host PC, to access internet also on the other PC.
Problem is, that ICS is by default using address 192.168.0.1, which you can't change in winXP. And also my phone is connected to the host PC with the same address, which if I change, I loose internet connection on host PC.
How can I change this address which phone uses to connect to PC?
semi-bump.
Current setup: cable modem w/ wireless beams connection to my PC via wireless LAN. Modem is 192.168.0.1 on LAN, I'm .9, static. I want to setup ICS from my PC to my mob by bluetooth, as the wireless connection in my room is awful so I have to have a USB wireless adapter snaking under the door & out into the hallway.
Problem: ICS setup wants to host the service on 192.168.0.1 but that's the router & can't be changed. Is there any other way to do this? Cheers anyone.
can i circumvent this by connecting to the pc using bluetooth via activesync? won't i still need to setup ICS in the bluetooth config, or does activesynch overrule it?

PPPoE or gateway or anything that would get me to internet

Hi ppl!
I have problem with connecting to the internet with my i900. I'm pretty new to WM so I'm pretty confused about lacking of standard options that I'm used on XP...
But let me explain whats the problem:
I have adsl router and need to dial pppoe connection to get out to the net. My ISP has locked routers default capabilities, which had setting up pppoe connection in the router so every thing that connets to the router could have easy exit to the internet (yeah, stupid ISP...).
So I've searched for the pppoe on the WM and found on this forum (i cant post the link?) app that can make pppoe connection on wm. Problem is that it doesn't work on my phone and feedback on it is pretty low.
So I've came up with another solution which needs a gateway function on my WM: I can dial a pppoe connection on my PC, share it, and then use my PC as a gateway to the internet by setting my PC's IP as a gateway on my WM phone. My PC is connected to the router by wire and hasn't got wireless adapter on it. Only thing wireless is a router... and a phone
I have found gateway option: (settings->wifi->network adapters->SyChip Jaguar->Use specific IP adress
BUT it doesn't work. I cant connect to the internet!
because I'm new to all this, is there something I'm missing?
I can ping my phones IP from my PC and my PC's IP with vxUtil and I've disabled firewall on my PC. In opera I've tryed all of connection tipes but I get "network problem". Also, I've configured my wireless conenctios as "my work network" and checked box under "This network connects to the internet"
Help?
PS
cracking a IPS's router isn't the option
