The hermes can do this. The Internet Sharing feature in WM 6.0 works great. Also a help in airports where my hot-spot account doesn't work.

Hi
I have a Tmobile Vario (wizard).
AT work I use a laptop that is connected to the lan via the ethernet. The pc has wifi and bluetooth. Can I piggyback on this to get a connection to the internet using the vario ?
Thanks
if your toy has bt or wifi, yes you can...
It has BT and WiFi, but what do I need to do to connect to the office laptop to utilise its internet connection ?
Regards

If you can, directly configure your phone to connect to the wifi connection, ignoring the pc.
However, if that's not possible, get your pc to connect to the net, then activesync to your pc using bluetooth and use activesync internet pass through to access the net on your phone.

Hi all,
I live in a country where GPRS is very expensive to live with, however I have a DSL connection at home, and I would like to have a program that enables my wizard to connect to the internet via my PC DSL connection, that is, the wizard connects through BT to my PC, and I will browse the internet (in my wizard) using the DSL connection on my PC.
this will allow me to be around the house while surfing the intenet via a DSL connection.
could you tell me please if there is a program to do so? does Wireless modem utility enable this? I strongly prefer freeware cause I dont have a credit card (I dont have money also!! )
Regards
It does it out of the box. Plug in your USB cable and it will start ActiveSync and your Wizard will share the PC's net connection. You can also do it via Wi-Fi. I have a wireless router at home, and I can sit in the living room and browse the net at broadband speeds on my phone - neat!

If you are connected PPC to PC you always have possibility to have internet connection on PPC by wired connection USB, by Bluetooth or WiFi( with some tricks or new AS 4.2)
Your PPC will show the connection to your PC's DSL connection in the network status window if you tap on the signal strength indicator.
My MDA II shows it like this for example:
Thank you all,
You are very neat and helpful guys

I don't think you can ActiveSync over wi-fi. You can browse the net via your wi-fi router though.

No problem, did you get it to work?
Hi.
For some reason, I can't operate it.
I get a 3g connection, I can use the internet on mobile device, everything look OK.
I try to do internet sharing, the pc connect (Via USB) to the device but nothing happened.
I noticed that when the internet sharing is disconnected, the windows mobile connection (on the PC ) have a 169.x.x.x IP and when I try the internet sharing it get NO IP!
Any idea ?
Thanks

Did you start the Program Internet Sharing on your Trinity? As fas as I remember you have to start it first and then plug in the USB ....
Hi there,
It does not work also for me since my operator does not allow internet sharing. I explain: my operator sells an unlimited internet access for pocket pc and an unlimited internet access for all devices. The unlimited access for PPC is far cheaper than the unlimited access since they say that you'll use less bandwith surfing on a pocket pc than on a laptop.
I took the unlimited access for PPC and of course when I try to share, i get an error starting the Sharing Program.
Any other method to share the access with a laptop?
Many thanks in advance

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.
OK, I have a jasjam with all the factory provider settings for internet. All works well. But how do I connect to a laptop and use the jasjam's internet on the laptop?
My moto has phone tools that does this. But I wanna do it with my jasjam... Help anyone?

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.
