Internet through Activesync

Hi all, i managed to connect my XDA II to Activesync successfully and everything synchronize perfect.
i am just having hard time to make my XDA II Connect to the internet using the Activesync connection.
i went to options --> Rules ---> pass through , i have 2 choices here in connections 1. work and 2. internet !!! i wonder what they mean, any way i tried both and was not able to connect to the internet. do i need to make any changes to my XDA II Connections!!!
thanks for your help

I believe in your Connections in XDA II, you need to select my network card connects to Internet and select the Internet option in pass thru settings in ActiveSync

adapter!!!
ok i selected the the network card conects to: "The internet"
what about the other section. the adapter to modify, which one i should select!! i have 4 choices here:
1. NE2000
2. L2TP
3. ASYNCmAC
4. PPTP

My understanding is that you don't need to worry about those 4 adapters to get pass through to work. The most important thing is that both the pc passthrough connection and the Xda ii network card connection are the same. I.e. they are either both set to "Work", or both set to "The Internet". I use the "work" setting

i think i will break this stupid device :x , i tried both "work" and "the internet" non of them worked for me. and when i go to my XDA II Device and i change my network card to connect to work and click ok and check it again, it appear going back to the internet selection!!!! my PC is connected 24h/day to the internet through ADSL and i can't make this thing to use it

Are your ISP using Proxy server?, if yes configure proxy setting in your XDAII device.
I was able to surf the internet using both pass through options .

I had this problem and in the end I found that if I enabled a public proxy:
212.42.175.155 port 80
then the XDA would connect to the internet through active sync.

i can't get my xdaii to activesync, just keeps coming up as guest? It synced OK the first time... now just guest only. any suggestions.

Try removing xda from cradle, delete partnership in activesync and then reconnect to establish a new partnership.

A complete removal/restore of activesyn may also work but is more tedious. Make sure it is the latest version also.

Yes abo_khaleel , my ISP is using Proxy server. Where exactly in XDA II i can configure the proxy server. i mean in the network card section. I know when i make a GPRS or data connection i can see Proxy settings there but with the activesync i can't see it.

Not sure about xda2, since I have I-mate, but:
After conneting thought activesync, click signal signal strength icon (on the top of the screen), then click settings, this will open connections settings, then click: edit my proxy server. if you have more one than connection, try them one by one.

I was just wondering....
why would u want to on the internet on ur XDA via activesync?...isnt ur PC online already?...i just dont see the point just seems like if u were to buy a microwave that needs to be put in the hot oven to work...or is just me?????????? :?:

i can see your point but my XDA II is connected to my PC using bluetooth and since it is a feature that i can use while i am every where at home why not having it , i mean i don't have to sit all days at my desk to do my internet work, i can use the net even when i have boring friends visiting me :wink:

Browse on Universal but over Jam's GPRS

Hi, I own both a jam and a htc universal. now I only have one sim and tend to keep this in my jam (universal is just huge) but I want to web surf/email from the universal.
Any ideas how I can get the uni to use the jam as gprs source? Ive tried to create a new modem and point to the jam, but the wizard wants me to input a phone number to dial for gprs. confusing stuff.
Any help much appreciated. Thanx

My user manual says to fill in a '99' as the phone number to dial, so give it a try...

Hi,
When using your device as modem from the pc, you use *99# so maybe that's it?

Connecting to a SonyEricsson phone uses *99***X# where X is the APN number stored in the phone..
Or to use default APN: *99#

thanks guys! worked a treat.

How do I find the MAC address on my new XDA Atom Exec

i just got a new O2XDA Atom Exec... and I need to locate the MAC address of this phone so I can connect to my WiFi network at home. Does anyone know how I find it? Thanks so much!

First of all Turn On the WIFI
1.) (Go To PROGRAMS.>COMM MANAGER> Click ON the wifi Icon)
2.) Go to Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan
In the ADAVANCED TAB : Your MAC Address is Written.
This is regardless of whether you are connected to a Wifi Network Or Not.
Normally U dont need to configure anything Manually to Enter the Wify (except the Key / Password)

Thank you... I couldn't find it! The O2Atom now connects immediately. I am very appreciative! Thanks for your time! :lol:

Using the Hermes as a wireless network card?

I accidently broke my wireless network card [laptop-XP] and was wondering if it is possible to connect my hermes via USB to the laptop and use the connection from my router.
Router > Hermes > Laptop
Thankyou
Hermes is running WM6 T-Mmobile
If the hermes can use my wireless network can it not just share it with my PC via USB?

OK..I was about to start a new thread with the same question but luckily found this question. I have the same question, the only difference being that I am using HD2 now. So is it possible to use my HD2 as a Network Card rather than using the one in my laptop cause it is Atheros based..and it sucks !!!
No, Internet Sharing only gives option for using the existing Data plan for sharing. I do NOT want to use that....I want to use my existing Wireless Network in my house.

Mobile Broadband

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to run a prepaid mobile broadband sim from the PDA instead of using the dongle connected to a laptop or desktop?
In other words is there a connection manager for PDA phone by any chance?
This will certainly increase the usability of the sim, one can get connected from anywhere - no laptop/desktop needed!
Cheers,
Fulham

If you want to use the phone as a modem, then yes this is possible. You can use Internet Sharing on the phone to connect the laptop via USB or Bluetooth, or better still install WifiRouter to connect the lappy via wifi and connect to the Internet via 3G.
I do this when I travel OS on hols.

I think you are referring to using the phone as a modem and then connect the laptop for web surfing via it. But this is not what I want to do.
I want to put the sim (by taking out one in the usb dongle (prepaid mobile broadband) supplied by the carrier) in my touch hd sim card slot and get connected, then surf internet FROM WITHIN THE DEVICE (touch HD) ITSELF.
Thx

Repeated post - deleted

OK...I see now. I suspect you can, although you may need to configure the phone with appropriate connection settings for your carrier. If you are lucky the SIM *may* do this for you.
Having said all that, don't be too suprised if it doesn't work. Also, the handset will need to be unlocked before you put the prepaid SIM in it.

Any idea as to how to do it step by step? How to insert the APN (access point name) of the provider?
Can someone help please?
The phone is already unlocked.
cheers

I have an O2 prepay mobile dongle and my Phone was on O2 contract (so it had some O2 APN settings already).
Although the phone reports a 3G signal, browsing doesn't seem to work when using the dongles SIM.

Question from #6 above continues.
