wifi & active sync at the same time?

i'm very new to this kind of stuff so can someone plz tell me if i can use the wifi feature on my qtek to pick up a wireless internet connection and have the phone connected to the computer through activesync simultaneously? cus i can't seem to make it work. everytime i try to connect the phone to the computer through activesync after i have had the wireless internet connected, the activesync seems to disconnect me from the wireless connection. so im just wondering if i can connect those 2 connections at the same time or not?

no you can't, sorry
Activesync tears down the wifi connection and builds a new conection using you PCs networking. You can still access the intenet through you PC though.

thanks
thanks for the quick reply. yeah i know i can access the internet through PC connection but the problem is that my wireless adapter is broken so i want to have my qtek pick up the internet and then use activesync to transfer the internet connection back to my computer so i can go online on my PC, thats all. so there is no way we can work it around huh?

Using the WIFI connection on my Wizard for my laptop?

Is there a way to use the WIFI connection on the Wizard on my laptop via USB cable? Maybe some sort of dhcp server or proxy server for WM5 ?

ok i may be missing somethinh here, but isn't the phone designed to do that?
just install the modem driver on your pc (its on the cd)
disable active sync
connect the phone vis usb
run the modem link app on your phone (its already installed) in programs
and away you go ??

Exactly

Isn't it easier and faster to just get a WiFi card and plug it into your laptop?
Did it not come with one already?

Unfortunatelly, the best way for this kind of conneciton - is JUST TO BUY a $20 WIFI CARD for your laptop.
I have an older laptop too, and would like to use my QTEK9000 as an USB external WIFI card using th einternet connection sharing on the device - but no luck so far.
you may try this approach: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1
but is is a painfull way and still doesnt help much (only HTTP).
So, the PCMCA WIFI $20 expence is stil the best solution.

Use Wizard's WiFi Connection on PC as a WiFi Network Adapter

Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!

Possible solution...
I think you can. If you have activesync installed, you can connect your ppc to your laptop/desktop and specify that you can use the desktop's internet connection ("This computer is connected to: Automatic/Work Network/The Internet"). If your laptop has a wifi connection to your router, then you're all set!
Hope this helps!

The thing is that I would like to use the wizard as my wifi connection for my laptop. My laptop does not have built in wireless, so instead of buying a wireless card for my laptop, I would like to use the wizard's built in wifi as a replacement, sorta like a wifi card for my laptop.

in theory it sounds like a good idea, and might even work-- i would like to know how to do this just in case i ever need it.
but in your case, you might want to look at mpci/cardbus wifi adapters, get a good mpci card if your laptop supports it.
i have a intel centrino branded card that came with my dell 600m, i noticed a couple pulls on ebay just like it last week for about $25?
and on the upper hand, if you ever need to break into some locked networks, backtrax2 supports that card fully.

PDA as Wifi USB

Hi all... I have a question: is there a way (a software, a trick....) to use my PDA as a wifi usb adaptor? i want to connect it to mt notebook and connect to a WLAN connected to internet...

i've found the thread with Pocket PC Proxy... do you think u can use it? hoìw can i charge the ip address of activesync?

i think PocketPCProxy uses bluetooth to transfer wifi network, double check it.

I believe this may help you (turns your phone into a wifi hotspot)

good luck

I think he refers not to using his phone to GET the internet through the WIFI card in his computer but to use his cell phone AS the WIFI card for his computer because he doesn't have a card.

Internet Sharing between two pdas

I am wandering if there is a way to share my internet connetion between my alltel ppc 6800 with the new htc shift. I know how to link the phone with my laptop but I am currently looking at purchasing the shift to replace it and was wandering if the connection would work. If anyone has tried this please post.
P.S. the connection would be via bluetooth unless I converted the mini usb from the ppc 6800 to usb back to usb to plug into the shift. Thanks.

not sure if it could be done with BT, pretty sure it cant be done with USB (unless the shift can operate in host mode)
what should work is wifirouter (im sure the shift has wireless)

ok so how would i get the connection to work through a router? The only internet connection i have is through the ppc 6800.

nono, wifirouter is an app that you would run on your 6800, it essentially turns it into a wireless access point that other wifi enabled devices can use for internet access

where is the app available for download at?
Is that the only way it would work or could I configure the 6800 as a modem to connect?

ok I downloaded the app but still cant connect. I am trying the connection via my laptop and it stops at waiting for Internet connection sharing. is there some setting that needs to be changed or what am i doing wrong?

You ever figure out how to get the internet on your pda using the 6800 and the connection? I would like to do this bluetooth with my setup.

The newest version of WMWiFiRouter ($$$) allows you to do this over wifi, BT, or USB. If you have the money, it's a great program.

I have WMWifiRouter and use it with my laptop. How do i use it with bluetooth to get internet on my Dell X51? The x51 wants to dial a number when you setup a connection.
