Question:
It is possible to share gprs inet connection thu WiFi? I've got 2PDA (Artemis-orbit and Universal). I want to connect orbit to internet thru universal (reason: tmoUK web'n'walk instead of O2 gprs). How to configure both devices?
Is it possible the same thru btooth? I tryed to connect from orbit to uni like bt modem (dial *99.., *99***1#) with APN, pwd, username..... Without any succes.
please hlp,
i guess next post will be from Menneyss
no one will help?
I'm not sure. You try ad-hoc mode yet? Set Primary pda to ad-hoc and set name of ad-hoc. Secondary pda try to connect that name.
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.
Hello!
I tried to connect to internet by bluetooth connection without luck. I created on PC bridged connection and devices are connected by bluetooth. But I cant create network connection from Wizard to PC. I am allways returned to create new connection page. I am using Vanilla edition WM6. Also, when I tap on Interent Sharing nothing happening.
Hello to everybody
i own a Trinity (i love it!) upgraded to wm6 (shadowmite rom) and radio 1.46.00.11.
i am desperately trying to connect via wifi to my home network to use my flat adsl, but i have no success.
Besides i also have a Blue Angel with WM2003 (i still love it..) and i dont have any problems at all with it to access my network/internet thru wifi!
I am using a wifi router/modem (zyxel prestige 660 hw) with Adsl2+ and italian provider liberomini 4mb
my PC is winXP MCE sp2 and its connected to the router with ethernet cable
I have set up both PDA's exactly the same way:
-wifi card :connects to 'my work'
-IP address: assigned by server
-authenticationpen
-data encryption : disabled
-connections/advanced/networks: both set to 'wy work'
-proxy settings: internet connection enabled / proxy server disabled
on the router i disabled all protections/firewall/encryption/passowrd/etc.
dhcp is enabled both on the router and the PC
both PDA's connect to the Zyxel router and show very with good signal strenght.
the router recognizes the signal of both pda's and displays correct mac-address and ip address of both
BUT,
THE BLUE ANGEL CAN BROWSE THE WEB USING TE WIFI/ADSL CONNECTION AND CAN ACCESS MY PC DIRECTORIES/RESOURCES, WHILST THE TRINITY DOES NOT!
it cannot locate webpages and does not connect to network.
i tried all possible combinations of wlan/wifi/connection settings, but no way!
Am i doing something wrong? is there any special setting to be done with wm6?
i dont believe the fault is in shadowmite's rom as even before flashing to this fantastic rom i had tried once with wm5 and had same problem (though i did not dig too much in it)
Can anybody help me?
Check if you are using a proxy in your gsm settings. If it is so, use someting like Advanced Settings or Trinityhacks or something ele to disable the proxy during wi-fi connections.
Ciao
wm6+wm2003+ router wifi
thks yr reply claros.
i checked my gsm settings (you mean my ISP connection settings?) and there is not mention of proxy server in there
i only found proxy server option in MY Work connection settings and it is disabled.
all settings are exactly same as on the blue angel which is working fine...
do you know if this is a common problem with wm6?
any suggestion how to proceed?
found solution!!!!!
eureka
i found the solution in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315982
its very easy! just go to wlan power tab and move the horizontal slide fully to the left (best performance)
magically my triniry now is connecting to internet via wifi!
great!
ps: still cannot access myh pc directories but i guess i will solve by installing Resco explorer
thanks
Hi,
I don't think this is currently possible but I do not see any reason why? Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party app to provide this?
Thanks,
Phillip
Possible ! (Well somewhat)
This is very much possible. I got it working as follows :
(1) Create a WiFi connection on Pocket Pc with ad-hoc feature and Open Security, make sure you select "Work" as the connection.
(2) Give the WiFi adapter on Pocket PC an internal address similar to 192.168.0.2 (255.255.255.0)
(3) On your PC/Laptop set WiFi adapter IP to 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.0)
(4) You need a program like Pocket PC Proxy to be installed on the Pocket PC.
(5) Enable proxy settings on Laptop as 192.168.0.2:80 (or the port set on the proxy prog on ppc)
(6) Enable WiFi on ppc
And Voila ! You can browse internet using the connection on your ppc.
Hi,
Thanks, I will give this a try. However, I can't seem to find this piece of software (Pocket PC Proxy). Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Here you go...
Thanks for the download, I'm using an HTC Touch (Elf) with WM6. I can't seem to figure out how to create an ad-hoc wifi connection?
(Sorry to be a pain but i think that this will benefit others too!)
Ahaa, I managed to figure out how to create an adhoc network on the Pocket PC, I assigned it the correct IP (as above) and basically followed the instructions.
I'm actually trying to get my iPod Touch to connect to the net via the HTC Touch.
I iPod sees the wifi connection and connects perfectly, I can even assign the ip and subnet mask. However, I simply can not connect to the internet either with or without the proxy. Any suggestions on what I am missing?
THanks
What kind of an internet connection do you have on the ppc ?
- GPRS/EDGE ? Is it always connected/on ?
Got it working, you can ignore the following
Thanks!

Hi, here is everything I have done:
Connections, Internet
Modem: T-Mobile Internet, GPRS (UK, no edge)
Proxy Settings: This network connects to the internet
This network uses a proxy server to conncet to the internet
149.254.291.132
(This was all set by the phone when I switched it on)
My Work Connection:
Nothing set up here
WIFI
Add New...
Network Name: test
Connects to: Work
This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection
Authentication: Open
Data Encryption: Disabled
This seems to create an ad-hoc connection and sits there with 'Connecting' until another device connects to it.
Network Adapters
My network card connects to: Work
IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible WIFI....
Edit:
Use specific IP address:
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
(Everything else blank)
Wireless LAN
SSID: test
Mode: 802.11 Ad hoc
Channel: 11
When I connect two devices together the IP shown under advanced seems to read 192.168.0.21 (I think this should end .2 so not sure why it isn't)
If I connect my laptop I can 'ping' 192.168.0.2 and that works but both my laptop and ipod touch do not seem to be able to connect to the internet.
On the ipod touch I simply get 'Server not found' or something similar.
(I have remembered to run PocketPCProxy)
Yes, the GPRS is connected whenever I run PocketPCProxy.
I would really appreciate any help you can give, I really like using the browser on my ipod Touch but don't really want to go the whole hog and buy an iPhone because it is so tied down and restricted.
Thanks,
Phillip
I don't know what I have done but suddenly it works, now it comes up and shows the correct ip on my pocket pc.
Anyway, thanks for your help!
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to ad-hoc connect my PC (Lenovo X60s with XPSP2) to HTC Touch via WiFi to be able to share files and stream music.
It did connect and pinged ok, however the two just refuse to see one another on their networks.
Does anyone have any successful experience trying for the same?
Regards,
Madana
I tried this between my TyTN and TyTN II, the latter being the gateway, but the TyTN insists on still using GPRS for its internet instead of the wifi. Very annoying, and it's runing WM5 so (i dont think) you can't turn of the GPRS like you can with WM6.
Does anyone know how to make it use wifi, and wifi only for internet?
Thanks,
Sebastian
