depends on what you have. if you have wm6 you can do this by using the internet sharing utility on your 8525. pair your device with your computer first. then go to internet sharing and under pc connection scroll down to bluetooth PAN, select the correct connection you use and then click connect on the bottom. that should do it.
I have WM5...

not really familiar with that process in wm5.
I have that 'internet sharing' utility but that does nothing; it says "connect" but when I try to open a website it does nothing or it attempts to connect thru the GPRS using any of the three settings under Network Connections (Cingular GPRS, Media Net, My ISP GPRS); and I don't hava any data plan or media net...

oh thats easy... you have to initiate the connection first. go to the mobile browser and just go to google.com or something so it can call up the gprs/edge/3g connection. when it connects then you can do the internet sharing utility thing. the phone has to be connected to the mobile internet before you can share the connection.
You have to set internet sharing to Bluetooth pan like it says here and click on connect
http://www.wireless.att.com/support...alsCategory=Bluetooth+Set+Up&tutorialId=98500
After that it depends on what bluetooth stack you are using on your pc.
If you are using the MS Bluetooth stack you have to right click on the bluetooth icon in the system tray and click on "join personal network area" If you already have the phone paired up you click on the phone, then click on connect.
If you are using a widcomm stack, open up My Bluetooth places, click on view devices in range. Right click on the phone and click on "Connect Network Access point"
The Toshiba stack is a big pain in the butt. You have to set up a partnership in custom mode. and select Bluetooth pan as the default service. Once paired up the process is just like the widcomm stack
When I go to "Internet Sharing" and hit connect it says "Device setup finished. ON the PC, connect Bluetooth PAN"
Now when I go to the PC and click on "Connect Network Access Point" (im using widcomm) it says "The network Access connection failed - error 0x81000015"
I got mine to work with Black Majic but there's frequent disconnects. i cannot seem to hold a connection for more than 5 minutes at a time. but USB sharing works for at least an hour at a time... sigh
you must have a data plan

hi my man. if you don't have a data plan the internet sharing won't work at all if you have t-mobile and willing to pay for the service. try changing your phone on t-mobile website for a blackberry .then add the blackberry internet . is cheaper and same thing as the total internet service
Can this be done via "Dial Up Networking", I read a tutorial somewhere but there was some steps that I wasnt able to pull off; I did create a new connection by going to Start >> Settings >> Connections >> Connections >> Add a new modem connection >> where it says "Enter a name for the connection" I put My connection >> where it says "Select a modem" I select "Bluetooth" and hit next, then I select the name of my computer (ex; Acer-284ru9) because it was already pair with the device, then I hit next again and it asked me for a phone number to and I enter *99# (because thats the phone number I saw at the previous tutorial), then it ask me for:
username: anything
password: anything
Domain*: blank
and enter finish; then I went to Start >> Programs >> Internet Sharing >> select:
PC Connection > Bluetooth Pan
Network Connection > My connection
hit "Connect" and it starts connecting, and on the computer it says "Bluetooth Device MyPocketPC is connected to the "Dial-Up Networking" service on this computer" but it keeps attempting to connect on the device and it does for about 2 seconds, then drops.
I dunno, maybe there's something missing, Ill appreciate any help, been hitting my face with this for the last couple of days.
Please guys DO read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282780 - it explains everything.

I have the situation like you. Did you manage to get the solution?
I installed the widcomm (http://www.telusplanet.net/public/wladykad/) , bbs_hermes_03A.cab and managed to join the personal access network, but when to open the IE, it failed (load page). Anybody can help me?
When i set the connection, Setting>my isp>add a new modem connection>name (any)>select a modem -->bluetooth>press next>add new device>problem here...cannot pair with my bluetooth dongle...but i can join PAN via bluetooth manager (BBS_hermes_003)
appreciate any help
device: cingular 8525
Pro : CHT9K WM6 WWE-C v1.1
Radio : 1.50
think i did this before with my old pda.. (6315) but just cant remember how.. it wasnt easy though..
Did you manage to solve?
1 thing to add...i can "join a personal network manager" by a simple click...
and in the bluetooth properties(in pc), i have selected "allow other devices to access the internet/LAN via this computer"...
In the Bluetooth manager, Active connection, what i can see is under outgoing connections, it has my name for my network..and network access...
I try to describe what is the item in bluetooth manager to hope someone can help me to solve the problem...
and my final intention is to run it from my office win98 (to provide internet access for my pda) which has internet access and link to htc hermes (100) to access to real time data....
any help much appreciated...
Finally i managed to do internet sharing via bluetooth.
This what i did (other then my previous post)
go to Setting>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks>under Network Management & Porgrams tht automatically connect to the internet should connect using ..and i choose >My Work Network>Edit>Proxy Settings>checked This network connects to the Internet..
It worked...i can connect to internet via bluetooth dongle (bluesoleil)...horray...
I hope i can emulate the same to my office windows 98 ...

I am trying to configure my XDA2 to connect to my PC and surf the internet via a BT connection. I can Sync via BT but when I try to set up my connection it keeps asking for a phone number despite me saying it is over a Bluetooth connection and my IP is broadband. Sorry if this has been asked but I did search for any info on this.

Why do you need to setup connection for since it's already connected with ActiveSync via BT? Basically once you get connection between your device & activeSync, that's all the step you did. Unless a firewall has stopped your device from accessing to the internet; if it's the case, create exception for your activeSync, and retry browsing with your device.
hope this helps.
regards.
thanks for yor reply, Each time I try to connect the the interneet on my device it keeps trying to connect via GPRS and not through my PC via BT....
Go to ActiveSync, open the options menu & go to Rules tab.
At the bottom, you will find Pass Through Conenction, make sure its set to The Internet and not Work

thats it, it finally works. Thanks very much.
Glad to hear that, thomo

I'm having a similar problem and have effected the setting as above, however IE on my IIs says "the page you are looking for cannot be found". My computer connects fine and I have the same issue when trying to connect the device via WiLan, although I do connect to the network.
I've been trying to fiddle with the settings for a few days now but no success...anyone out there got any ideas.
Many thanks
I have mastered it now, I sync using BT on my device, leave it connetced, close Active sync on my XDA 11, Click on IE and the device connects through my PC, super duper.........
Thanks, this is what i am looking for now. I will try it
i can now only online with cable, not through Bluetooth connection
go into the advantage settings for connections
there you should be able to change the network back to my isp insted
of my network
bluetooth-internet
Hai...iam new here..i have got O2mini and would like to connect to internet via bluetooth...
i try using usb cable and activesync program to serve internet and its working.
...i succesfully connect my pc and ppc via bluetooth by using ppc activesync but when try connet to internet its still go to gprs..
pls help me...TQ
like i said again and again in this thread it's all about which network is picked in advantage settings under network connections in systems
I also tried to make a connection to the internet with activesync and usb. But with my mda doesn't work. iexplorer says the page you are looking for cannot be found. But my ppc says "connectivity the internet Pc connection". What are the settings on your ppc, so i can check?
Somebody help me.
test with ping
and maybe messenger to see if it's a dns issue
and if people use pocketplus they prob should make sure that it's not set to close insted of minimizing otherwise the connection would most likely be closed when they close activesync
Thank you very much. You solved my problem.

Hi folks, I am going to ask this like the thicko I am.
This is a diagram of my setup.
Wired Router ---> PC1
:
'-----------> PC2--->Wi Fi Dongle
Now to explain. Broadband comes in, goes to router.
This then goes off to a PC downstairs (PC1) which I have no access to.
My PC (PC2) is upstairs and has a Belkin Wireless Dongle. (Usb type) which I have just been given from a mate.
Ok, the tricky bit. My Wizard has the wi-fi, yep, lovely.
Now my PC has wi-fi, yep, getting more interesting.
Ok now the belly buster question, what do I need to allow my PDA to connect to my PC so that it can browse both the internet AND my network shares?
I know its possible and I know it would probably involve some proxy or port forwarding software, but I have no clue where to start.
You folks know so much, so I would be very suprised if no-one could answer this one.
Thank you very much.
in network connections (start > connect to or conrol panel > network connections) click on your connection (dongle to mini s). right click, click properties, click the advanced tab, then tick the box "allow other network users to connect through my pc" and press ok.
try that and let me no, as with network shares, just enable shared documents, my computer, right click shared documents, sharing, then tick the box allow to be shared or something like that.
let me know how u get on.
Ok, heres the progress report.
I set the connection sharing as described and Yay, I can map a drive using Resco and listen to music and watch an AVI on my main system.
The down side of this was that I lost my internet connectvity on my PC and the browser on the Wizard was reporting "Page not found".
I then disabled this sharing to resume internet on the PC.
I went back to the Wizard about 10 minutes later and mapped another shared folder but forgot to re-share the wireless internet connection.
Strange thing was, the drive mapping worked and so did my internet connection on the PC. I still have no internet over wi-fi from my Wizard.
Many thanks for the reply anyway. If you have any more advice, it would be very appreciated.
PS: I used to have the same loss of internet when I did a bluetooth connection to a laptop. I eventually sorted that bugger out but cant remember how I did it.
I tried to use Trinity as a modem and did not manage to make this work.
I connect the usb cable. Start ISharing program on pda. Click conect. Says connected. 3G connection works. However the laptop is not connected to the internet.
Bluetooth also does not work. I can't find a way to create a PAN as they call it.
I would appreciate any suggestions as the manual is not clear on this topic
edit: i start internet sharing on my pda. i choose bluetooth. click connect. it says: Device setup finished. On the PC connect Bluetooth PAN.
On the PC i find my device. Find available services. Double click on 'Network Acces Point on Trinity'. I get a message that the computer is connecting and then an error: The Network Access connection failed: Could not connect to the remote device'
edit2: finally solved it.
I had to enter advanced bluetooth config on laptop. Under 'network access' properties I selected 'allow other devices to create a private network with this device'. Now it works.
hi,
i had the same issue, using bluetooth, but it´s the same, i guess.
you need to connect the pda with the pc, and when you get the connection, you go to the program menu in the pda, and select in the submenu connetions usb/bluettoth pan and connect.
the dial up connectiosn should start.
tell me if suceed.
i start internet sharing on phone. then go on bluetooth->quick connect-> network access -> my phone name. then it works as i mentioned above. but i had to change some properties in my bluetooth configuration to make it work.
The same for me : when I try tu use it as a GPRS modem for my TomTom Rider device, the Rider says that the DUN profile isn't provided as a service by the Trinity !!! Use to work perfectly with my old Magician !!! I'm really disappointed ! Will see if the brand new ROM with GPS feature corrects this...
try to start internet sharing first (in trinity), connect to gprs and then start bluetooth services discovery on tomtom.
I'm not using bluetooth, but trying to use the phone as a modem using USB with a laptop. It works, but is really flaky, so would appreciate some pointers on how to fix the problem.
First thing that I do is connect the phone to my laptop via USB. Activesync starts up on both the laptop and the phone. Then, when I start the Internet Sharing program, the phone stops Activesync and connects to the network. Everything works fine for a while and I am able to surf the net on both the Trinity and the laptop with no problems for a while. The problem is that after a period that can vary from 10 minutes to 1 hours, the laptop loses the internet connection. The phone is still connected to the internet though and I can still surf using the PDA. It's just the laptop that loses the connection.
I have to reboot the laptop and soft reset the Trinity to repeat the process to get internet on the laptop going again.
Any ideas what's causing the problem? I've tried disabling Advanced USB Functionality on the Trinity, but the problem is still there...
HEY everyone....
i am TIERED of trying and searching can anyone tell me how to Connect my PPC to internet using PC...why...complicated....
but i need your help in case anybody knows....
i need steps to do so...(i was told i have to create a new workgroup onto my PC and BLA BLA BLA but i didnt know how to figure it out)
PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE i need your help
if you mean using bluetooth or usb then when you are connected to activesync the pda use the network of the pc
well thank you "Rudegar"...
i am connected using USB to active sync...but it doesnt use the network of the PC...i have tried too many ways but i cant figure out what to do...
and i have choosen the option (connects to internet) from active sync and still i have a problem...
can you please help me out...
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
there are some texts showing "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using"
and a dropdownbox
select the dropdownbox item which is not called something like "my isp"
but pick the one thats called something like "my network"
then all programs trying to access the internet will be forced to use activesync as internet connection and if activesync is not connected they will fail!
if i am reading your post right you are trying to use ur ppc as a modem to connect to the internet?
If so, use these steps:
connect ppc to PC thru usb, let activesync do it's work
on PPC go to Start>Programs>Accessories and open the Internet Sharing program
After this is done, it should allow you top connect to the internet by using the PPC as a modem. It's a slow connection, but it works

Thank you so much i know im like a pain in the (you know ) but really really i appreciate your help
it's empty it just show
add network connection
add vpn connection
setup my proxy
i use bluetooth mind you if you use usb you have to
check Enable advanced network functionality
in usb to pc though
and your pc activesync should be set to not block it
and your firewall should alow it
usually you don't need to change anything in settings to get internet with usb, try hard reset your ppc and reconnect. Also, IP in your pc shouldn't be specified (keep it automatic)
finally i found the answer to my thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374172
I've tried most of the solutions/methods on this forum/net, but it just doesn't work!
I'm able to pair the device, start the PAN service and 'Intetnet Sharing' gets connected as well, PC gets an IP address, but I get no response when I ping or open a webpage.
On the phone end, I've tried with WM5, WM6, WM6.1 and even with WMWi iRouter. On the PC end, tried with 3 different XP/2003/Vista machines. I'm using BlueSoleil 6.2, but had no success with older or later versions either.
Internet Sharing over USB worked fine till my USB connector broke so BlueTooth/WiFi is my only option.
Can soneone help me out please?
if you want to teeth your gprs connection so your pc get internet that way
PAN is not the way to go
search for bluetooth AND modem
in the forums there are many guides how
it's setup
PAN is if you want your pda to get internet from your pc
Thanks for the reply. I tried Bluetooth DUN but it's too slow (115kbps) and keeps getting disconnected every 5 mins...
If Bluetooth PAN is for sharing PC net only, why then does it show up under 'Internet Sharing', and also shows the Cellular net option, as if it can connect the both, like it does for USB? If PAN isn't meant for sharing cell net, it shouldn't show the option, right?
I mean, it's not *impossible* right? We have a TCP/IP network established with all IPs properly assigned; only one device has net access; how hard or improbable can it be to share the net? There has to be a way! :|
Infact, even the inbuilt Help on Internet Sharing describes that cell net can be shared w/ the PC over bluetooth using 'Internet Sharing' and says nothing about connecting as a modem and the whole *99# thing. I was of the opinion that 'Internet Sharing' made that method obsolete...
- Disconnect everything
- Open internet sharing, select Bluetooth PAN, connect. IS should tell you "waiting for bluetooth connection".
- On the PC, connect to the PAN service on the phone. This must work, I've used it countless times.
If traffic doesn't go through, you probably have a proxy set on your device (happens with some network operators) that you need to disable for it to work.
^ That's exactly how I've been trying .. maybe it's because of BlueSoleil?
Which bluetooth stack are you using? I've been searching the local stores for a non-bluesoleil adapter but no luck so far
I'm using the Widcomm stack that came with my BT keyboard/mouse set. I think you can download it for free anyway...
