Connecting to internet through Active Sync

I am trying to configure my XDA2 to connect to my PC and surf the internet via a BT connection. I can Sync via BT but when I try to set up my connection it keeps asking for a phone number despite me saying it is over a Bluetooth connection and my IP is broadband. Sorry if this has been asked but I did search for any info on this.

Why do you need to setup connection for since it's already connected with ActiveSync via BT? Basically once you get connection between your device & activeSync, that's all the step you did. Unless a firewall has stopped your device from accessing to the internet; if it's the case, create exception for your activeSync, and retry browsing with your device.
hope this helps.
regards.

thanks for yor reply, Each time I try to connect the the interneet on my device it keeps trying to connect via GPRS and not through my PC via BT....

Go to ActiveSync, open the options menu & go to Rules tab.
At the bottom, you will find Pass Through Conenction, make sure its set to The Internet and not Work

I'm having a similar problem and have effected the setting as above, however IE on my IIs says "the page you are looking for cannot be found". My computer connects fine and I have the same issue when trying to connect the device via WiLan, although I do connect to the network.
I've been trying to fiddle with the settings for a few days now but no success...anyone out there got any ideas.
Many thanks

I have mastered it now, I sync using BT on my device, leave it connetced, close Active sync on my XDA 11, Click on IE and the device connects through my PC, super duper.........

Thanks, this is what i am looking for now. I will try it

i can now only online with cable, not through Bluetooth connection

go into the advantage settings for connections
there you should be able to change the network back to my isp insted
of my network

bluetooth-internet
Hai...iam new here..i have got O2mini and would like to connect to internet via bluetooth...
i try using usb cable and activesync program to serve internet and its working.
...i succesfully connect my pc and ppc via bluetooth by using ppc activesync but when try connet to internet its still go to gprs..
pls help me...TQ

like i said again and again in this thread it's all about which network is picked in advantage settings under network connections in systems

I also tried to make a connection to the internet with activesync and usb. But with my mda doesn't work. iexplorer says the page you are looking for cannot be found. But my ppc says "connectivity the internet Pc connection". What are the settings on your ppc, so i can check?
Somebody help me.

test with ping
and maybe messenger to see if it's a dns issue
and if people use pocketplus they prob should make sure that it's not set to close insted of minimizing otherwise the connection would most likely be closed when they close activesync

Thank you very much. You solved my problem.

Internet Connection via USB

My K-Jam is connected to my laptop via the USB cable but the K-Jam cannot connect to the internet even though the laptop can. Can anyone help please? I use Active 4.1

i haven't yet done this on the kjam but have on the jam and for that what i did was go to connection settings and where it says "This computer is connected to:" select internet. and i think it should work.

thanks fone_fanatic
It is a little different with the K-Jam but I got it working. The adjustment was needed under Network Cards. So thanks for the steer in the right direction.

Go to Setting --> Connection -->Advance--->Select Network.
Choose [My Work Network ] instead of My ISP.
It should now work.

Thanks to you too waiho. Between yourself and fone_fanatic I got it working.

Maintaining 3G connectivity when on ActiveSync

At work our network is super locked down with a firewall. When I charge my 8525 at work, it loads up ActiveSync and switches over to the PC internet connection. When that happens; my irc, aim and msn connections all die. I want to be able to charge my phone and sync my calendar...but I dont want to use the PC internet connection.
I searched and only found people having problems when they want to use to the PC internet and cant... in my situation, its the opposite.
I have tried disabling the tcp/ip protocol for the WM5 LAN connection, but that kills the usb connection all together, not just the internet.

Any ideas on this? or am I the first one to ever want this?

why not just use the power adapter instead of the usb and then sync it at the end of the day

Hi,
Have you tried opening activesync, going to file then connection settings and unchecking the allow USB connections? This seems to work for me, my SPV M3100 charges and still shows the 3G connection active.
Hope this helps!!

oooops!!!

Sorry i missed the bit about syncing your calendar! Damn Eyes!!!
Will.

in Activesync 4.5 beta, under connection settings you can choose, "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop".
Maybe this would help?

Yeah it's fairly simple. Make sure Activesync 4.5 is installed on your laptop (don't know if you need it if you use Vista)
Connect your laptop to the device with USB cable.
On your device start Internet Sharing (if it doesn't have it then you will need to install a ROM that does... pretty much all cooked ROMS do)
Then click connect... give it a few seconds and you should be able to connect to internet via your phone's internet connection
You can also do this via bluetooth. First go to Internet Sharing and instead of USB select 'Bluetooth PAN' in the drop down box
Click connect...
Then only your Laptop in Control Panel> Networks tell it to connect to Bluetooth Pan and you should be done.
You can even do this via Wifi but you need to get commerical software called WMWifiRouter

Cheers. I found that the bluetooth I was using was a little complicated. Ended up using an older stick and it works great. Thanks.
