hi there. I have comcast VOIP and a wifi router as well as my wizard. Its running the faria 5.0 and has the crossbow 1.7 final update. I was wondering if its easy to get my mda to work as a voip handset over Comcast VOIP while at home. I've seen a few posts such as (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950) but cannot see that it is simple or for comcast. I have tried skype but that costs and the sjphone just didnt look like it could do it....maybe im not looking in the right places. I do have a BT headset and usually run @ 286Mhz so I'm sure my phone can handle it(although I have like 16MB reserved for different Cache).
Anyhoo, if anyone knows an easy way to do it (including what ports to open in my 3com router) that would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks guys.
anyone?
Anyone out there who can help?
I really would like to get all this working.

I have an old SMC Wireless router that has a serial port for a backup dialup link. I'm thinking I may be able to hack this thing into a gateway for my XDA if I can run a PPP server on the XDA. Yes, I know there are a couple more hurdles to overcome, but right now my burning question is...
Does anyone know of a PPP server that will run on Windows Mobile 2k3.
I did bump across this interesting link... looks like many of the pieces for RAS services are already there. Anyone know how to enable this?

Lastly, has anyone else come across any other cheap ways to tap into their wireless network from xda using the serial port? I'm really surprised there isn't a market here... yes I know 115,200 bps is hardly blazing speed, but it would SMOKE my GPRS connection when I'm around the house. Add compression, could get > 200Kbps vs about 30 I average with GPRS.
Thanks,
Josh
Have been searching but couldn't find an answer that worked for me.
I want to use Skype on my 8525, it'd be nice if I could use my headset but that's not required. I usually get EDGE sometimes 3G and haven't the clue how to properly set-up WiFi. With both EDGE and 3G it gets to the point where I can call somebody and then when it connects it says Connect to ____ 00:01 seconds, and then shuts down the program. Any help is much appreciated
When I said Connect To ______: 00:01 I meant Connected To < CONTACT NAME > for 1 second. It did the same thing with the voice test for skype. Called, then shut down as soon as it picked up.
On my TyTN, the wifi connection is closed after 30s. I'm guessing it is the VPN (which I need) that isn't kept alive somehow.
Perhaps your dataconnection is too slow for Skype?
Jörg
Possibly, but I thought 3G would be good enough to run Skype as I've heard success stories
Works for me
I just installed it last night and made a couple of test connects to my son in the other room. I was able to connect with wifi and GPRS. GPRS was better quality than wifi, but they both worked. Echo cancellation helped audio quality. This was using the beta version of WMskype.
It worked on GPRS? As in EDGE? Woah... did you take any extra steps to set it up? I'd really like to get mine working.
Skype works on 3G. It DOES NOT work on EDGE or GPRS.
If you want Skype to work with both 3G and WiFi, you probably need to have a data plan that does not require the use of a proxy server.
I use the PDA Unlimited Data plan, and with 3G it still shuts down the program when I get into a call, what can be wrong?
I got it working.
Solution:
Remove DNS Proxies ( if using DNS fix )
Un-install Skype
Download Skype Windows Mobile For HTC
Install on Mobile Device
Run when you have 3G, it didn't drop for me.
I am so happy
My final question, how can I configure my Voyager Bluetooth Headset to work with Skype?
Thanks for the replies.

I use skype with EDGE a lot. The quality isn't pristine, but it's quite usable
@UnrealTechno:
Just tested Skype on EDGE, it actually works, suprisingly. Not reliable, meaning it dropped a couple of times, and lagged the calls, but it was actually usable.
EDGE can be shady, its coverage is probably just low for those who are getting dropped calls. i haven't actually had a dropped call yet, though latency isn't great
I too have used Skype quite well on EDGE. Quality isnt as good as WIFI, but it is acceptable.

Sorry friend, skype works on GPRS also. My carrier does not have 3G and Edge only GPRS and I've called my sister in Edinbourgh through skype (spoke for about 13-15 min). Not the best quality but it works, at least for me.
Cheers

I am new at working with the 8525 but was successful in flashing the vp3G's ROM. I'd like to get Skype working but I see it says it's not supported on their web site. I'm excited to get Skype working but I not sure how to remove the DNS Proxy entries. When I look at my Media Net Settings, I click on Proxy Settings and it is blank for the proxy server text box. However, I suspect this may *not* be the DNS proxy entry being discussed. Thanks for your help.

Only if you call actual phone numbers (you need skype credit for that).
Pre 2.2 Skype for Mobile needed!

Mike, that version has been replaced with the 2.2.0.30 version.
Do you know where the 2.1 version or below can be had? Apparently it is the only stable version on the 8525 (I cannot get the one you posted on this link to function through a call, though it loads and runs fine right as long as I don't call anyone).
Thanks!

Hi guys
It's been a while since I posted to the forum and I apologise if this question has already been asked.
I have an MDA Vario II with a T Mobile web&walk 3G internet connection.
My question:
My notebook PC has wireless networking, is it possible for me to wirelessly connect my notebook to the internet using the 3G connection on my MDA Vario II?
Cheers
John
Yes...
Asking a question you havn't bothered to search for isn't excused by appologising for not searching at the beggining of the question... its only marginly less anoying.
google: your question
or
google: your question site:xda-developers.com
should help you out.
Cheer up!
Who said I didn't do a search?
yep possible, but against the terms and conditions on £7.50 W&W.
you need to turn off the active sync on your laptop tho, well i had too!
allowed

Many of us have wnw pro and are allowed to stream and use voip and connect over modem etc.

I joined as a business user when I bought my MDAIII and when I upgraded to the MDA Vario 2 I managed to get the flext 20 package (£34 allowance for calls and texts) with unlimited usage and web n walk pro enabling me to use anything I want as much as I want for as long as I want and I pay £25.49 per month. I can use skype (although I rarely use the chat and never use it for actual calls as no one I know uses it anyway).
I found the rick was that they mucked things up for me so many times when I switched contracts that each time they gave me a discount. I dont think I am getting that good a deal now but at the time it wasnt bad.
I do use my MDA as a mode for my very small JVC laptop quite reguarly and its very good. I have only been unable to do it once and that was near wrexam
Um, isn't the answer to this that you can't do it using the Wifi, but you can using Bluetooth or USB.
With BT is was reasonably easy in WM5, in WM6 you need a laptop BT stack which implements BT PAN properly (mine doesn't) so I just wire them together.
USB is considerably faster - I get 850kbs in London.
As for it being against the T&Cs of basic WnW, a lot of people seem to get away with it once in a while, but hammering it with big downloads is bound to get you a slap.

Does your JVC connect to the modem in the MDAIII wirelessly?
Can you briefly explain what I need to achieve this?
Thanks

If wired, I understand Activesync must not be running but do I need other software & is it difficult to setup?

If you have flashed a WM6 rom it's a doddle, you just run Intenet Sharing on the handset and tell it to use USB, hit connect and it disconnects Activesync automatically and sets up a network access point on the laptop. For a minute I thought I'd accidently picked up a mac, it "just works".
In WM5 it's a right old pain, you have to set up a dial-up account for the handset, tell it to dial something (?) and run the modem program on the handset. I'd upgrade if you haven't done so already, it's one of the big pluses of WM6.

No I keep a mini usb retractable cable with me for when I need it (doubles as charger in car or home etc). Wonderful as my laptop is it doesn't have bluetooth connectivity and its as easy to wire as it would be to get a bluetooth dongle. I just found the instructions here and it works fine.
Alright, so I have a Titan flashed to Cricket using Ryan Mogul's ROM, and I've been having problems connecting to online apps such as Hamachi, Skype, and some others. Some guys on the HowardForums got Palringo to work by modifying some registry settings, so I'm wondering if this is possible with other programs such as Skype. This would make things much easier for me, since there isn't a WiFi connection everywhere I go, and the main reason why I got Cricket's data plan is because of power outages, which knock out WiFi. Does anyone know of anything I can do?
I've tried using port 80 on Hamachi and it doesn't work, so I'm thinking there's something else going on. If there are any general settings I can try for all programs through modifying the registry, that'd be nice.
Thanks.
Hey all, I just got my @home router, no phone to hook up to it "yet" but was looking at voip solutions for the G1, I came across Sipdroid which talks about things, however can this be used for the @home service? Or is there something better to use?
Hell... or is there a app for the PC that could use the T-Mobile @home service? Just trying to get the most from my stuff. =) Thanks for any help on this, VoIP is new to me atm.
@home is UMA (unlicensed mobile access) which is not the same as SIP. UMA is a competing form of voice-over-ip which is more carrier-controlled. I'm not sure if there is a UMA client for PCs. Probably?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network
Well if I read right, the G1 has the ability to do UMA if the app was developed it seems. Just not sure whats out there atm. =/
Also anyone know if you can use your Data package to get unlimited internet via that router? I heard of 3G routers that can pass the data along, was thinking incase I wanna use my normal simcard to get online incase Broadband goes down. =)
Btw it was better for me to get the router vs the high port wasnt it? I have a WRT54G v2 now (Which has DD-Wrt firmware on it) Figured a extra router in the house wouldnt hurt and since they cost the same.. (FREE!) I thought the router is more ideal, Am I correct?
