How use ATOM as modem to connect my laptop to internet

Hi.
I have an ATOM and I would like to use my MacBook and my Laptop PC to connect trought the ATOM EDGE funtion using Bluetooth.
I can easly navigate in internet using ATOM internal browser and programs but I'd like to use as a modem it.
Can anyone explain me how does it work to connect to my 2 Laptops (one per time)?
I tried connecting it before to the net then using WiFi or bluetooth .. but nothing to do.
Very sad.
I'd like to use it much more but is always swithced off closed in the box!
Thank You very much for your help
Ciao

Cixi,
I had the same request and was actually coming back to my original post to update it with the information that i got from O2 and finally I managed to set up for oth a USB modem connection and a USB one. I have attached the USB Modem driver but saved as a .txt file so you will have to open it in note pad and rename it as a .INF file (can also be found on the companion CD that shipped with your Atom) to this post (if uploading allows).
Below are the detailed instructions from O2 to set up a USB connection.
Regards
Chris.

And as Kropotov points out, he was very helpful in assisting me on the previous post that he references above and that i was coming back to update prior to seeing your post.
Attached is the set up instructions for BT Modem link.
Diffence is that with USB modem the connection is of course faster than BT. Also your phone can still accept phone calls while your using the USB modem link but go straight to your Voice mail if your using the BT modem connection.

Thank You All.
Do you think it will work with MacBook Pro too?
I left the Atom at home and now I'm around so I can't try your settings in windoz but as soon as I get back I try them so I can tell you more.
I prefer BT communications since I can swap between PC and MAC easly
Thank You anyway great persons here.

Hi, you don't need to install anything, just plug your atom via usb cable and run internet sharing application, tap connect then it should be a usb modem.

How about Atom Exec as modem to connect my laptop to internet
How about Atom Exec as modem to connect my laptop to internet by using Vista
any idea?

Why All That?
Read first post and was thinking why you need to connect your Atom Life as modem with manual setting while its just one click away
Assuming A) you have GPRS connection and phone data settings are working as told by GSM provider, you can browse on your phone.
Assuming B) On your pc/laptop you must have installed either ActiveSync 4.2 (WinXP) or later or Mobile_Device_Centre in any version of Vista and you are able to connect your phone to pc. NO NEED TO DISABLE, KEEP THEM WORKING.
If you are ready with above two things, just do one following step.
Step 1) Start >> Programms >> Internet Sharing >> Connect. THATS ALL, YOU ARE ALREADY BROWSING ON YOUR PC.
Only two options are seen in INTERNET SHARING, first to select is USB and second is your GPRS connection profile.
Someone please tell me why all those manual things are required, just for browsing on pc/laptop.

thanks
thank you very much!

vista don't recognize hermes

Please note that with the "old" notebock, with vista too, i have use the Hermes without problem.
Just connect via usb and all works fine.
Now with the new notebock (same os (wm6.0 in ppc, and vista home in the notebock)) i have problems.
Vista dont recognize hermes.
so i cant connect ppc to notebock.
Some ona have idea how can i do a connection and a sync with vista.
Ps
i have install the wmdc but dosent works.
Please help.
pps
i have try to unceck enable advanced network funcionality, but when i do this i receive this error:
Fallied to disable RNDIS to use serial.

nobody can help me?

Damn
im going be crazy.
if i use internet sharing and conect the pda with notebook all works fine.
Pc find the rnids device and i can go to internet.
But if i try to sync the pc dont reconize the ppc...
welcom to the VISTA world

I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.

If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.
Cheers

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's

Cannot Install Windows Mobile remote adapter (WMDC) Error 800F0204

I have recently installed Windows Vista on my computer and hooked up my also newly formatted PDA HTC TyTN with WM6 and as usual i cannot get them to work together, even speak. This by usb cable.
As i connected it to Vista it popped up asking me for a driver which i chose to install when Windows update said there was an update for it.
Error messages included:
This is my greeting message as soon as i start my computer and login to Vista:

And the not so helpful error message:

If any of you would like, in order to help i can allow remote controlling of my computer.

I will offer compensation via paypal for anyone who will take the time to remote connect to my computer and fix my problem, i have been trying for a very long time now and i cant figure it out.
we can discuss level of compensation but be aware i am by no means rich.

If I understand u, try this
1- donlod Window device center from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f1-e46a-4a5f-a791-09f07aaa1914&displaylang=en
choose for Windows Vista (32-bit) or (64-bit)
& let me know

I have already tried that, i downloaded the x64 version for my vista installation and i start the install file, the progressbar loads fully then retracts and the installations program self-closes. no messages or anything.
i am serious when i say i am really stumped by how my system is acting...

try installing WMDC in safe mode, sounds like a file permissions problem

yup i tried that too, it didn't even open the installation wizard.

Got same problem - fixed with changing registry permissions
hi guys,
i was battling with this for a few days after a reinstall of my laptop. updated to vista sp2 and there you go, couldnt sync and got the error.
after mucking about i saw there were some access denied errors for the registry. this is what i did to fix it:
registry key in question:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost\WindowsMobile
- Right click -> Permissions -> Advanced
- Took owner ship of the registry key
- Gave the Users group Full Control.
Then in device manager:
- Uninstalled my Microsoft Mobile Remote Adapter
- Scan hardware changes
and then it installed properly and am able to sync again
aj

thank you
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
i have been in this issue since 2 days,and what got me crazy after i have read your post that I'm the one who restricted the access to this registry using a domain policy(I'm a network administrator) for security reasons,but i don't know why i didn't got it @ first.
I granted my self the permission and it was able to install the drivers and letting WMDC starts.
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu again and again and again.

Is this the first time you will sync your unit with your PC or you'd been syncing with your PC before and just have this problem now?

....from the first time i brought it.... until now...
any relation with my rom 1.40.721.3 ???

Do you get an error? is it connecting at all?

currently i use it as a modem for my pc. no problem at all except using activesync 4.5

Have you tried re-installing the ActiveSync using the provided StartUp disc ?

i already done that. but i download it from microsoft.com.

You could try to update the device drivers in XP
(Control Panel --> Device Manager --> Portable Devices --> Touch 3G T3232 --> right mouse click --> update drivers --> let it search automatically)

there is no "Portable Devices" in my xp Device Manager...

if you use the device as a modem you can't use active sync as well. I have noticed a handy little feature on this phone that when i plug it into a pc it gives me an option on the phone to use the device as active sync, mass storage or modem.
I would sugest that this is your problem, there is an option to always use the option you selected so if you chose alsways use as modem then you will never get an active sync go to settings, connections then usb to pc and see what you have got selected, i have the option ticked to always ask me.
Tom

i know that option, because i can read & write my storage. when i use it as a modem, at same time, i cannot access the storage.
right now, i copy cab file to storage in order to install the program...

HELP!! Windows 7 cannot sync with HTC TyTn

Connecting my device to my windows 7 pc does jack ****. Every time it tries to install some 'Generic Driver Serial', which then fails, and WMDC doesn't connect. I don't know why. Similarly, on the device activesync there is no option to 'sync', just bull**** about making sure i have synchronization software. WMDC seems to be a large step BACK from activesync.

You could try to change the "Enable advanced network functions"-setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> USB to PC.
I had the same problem and this helped.

Automatic updates needs to download an "optional" update for HTC devices... Connect Hermes and do an update... Seems to be a mongrel to do but works fine once its installed...

i had that same error on my cousins hermes. what i did i went to device manager and updated the driver and it worked
now all i gotta do is find a way to get internet sharing to work
