Using wifi to send my laptop internet

I currently have my wizard setup as a moden to feed my laptop internet via bluetooth and it seems to work quite well but my laptop does not have bluetooth so i am forced to use an adapter which is sort of a pain. is it possible to do something similar with wifi? i cant seem to make it work.
any help would be appreciated.
Derek

u would have to set up and Ad-Hoc connection between your wizard and laptop and set internet connection sharing over that connection.

is it possible to enable ICS on WM5? i looked through the options and i culod not see it. are there any programs out there that do it?

how to connect to internet(on windows xp pc) using gprs(from prophet) via bluetooth

hey all.
thx 4 all the help,advice n guides here.
i have a htc prophet n a windows xp laptop. heard that u can use gprs via bluetooth to connect to internet on pc.howd u do that.plz outline.

You're probably confused... You have to establish an activesync connection by bluetooth and then you'll have access to the web... Just like using the cable but slower...

and how do u setup the active bluetooth connection?

You just have to activate the 'modem link' on the PPC. In Vista at least, all I do is create a new modem connection using the bluetooth modem on the PPC and dial *99#. Pretty simple....

In some ROMs there is an Internet Sharing Option....just activate it, select Bluetooth PAN & connect to the device from PC

could some1 plz outline the steps for setting up the connection, coz all i hear is 'murmuring' ..plz,am still new to all this ppc stuff

Look at the Wiki - start at here's a hint: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_USBModem

Hello friends!
I spent about 2 days on my phone wondering and trying to get internet connection on my Prophet...So I did it!It's like this:
When you connect your Prophet via USB it will show you new connection....
Go to Start/Control Panel/Network Connections and than click on left side "Set up a home or a small office Network"...So when you finish the wizard,restart your computer (do not disconnect Prophet) and it will work...It was the only way for me to get Internet Connection...I hope I helped someone just like others helped me...Greetings!

can i use GPRS surf the internet with laptop(not with the phone), is there any setting in order to surf the web? thanks!

I think It's not worth it...In Slovenia,where I live,GPRS is at least 10times more expencive than tipycal cable NET...Some of my friends tryed to connect laptop to NET by smartphone,but the speed in really low and also phone bill was shocking...So get standard internet...Greetings!

Internet on the smartphone via bt

Hello
Can anybody help me how i can set up my smartphone that i can connect to the internet via BT?
I like to use the broadband internet connection of my home pc for browsing on the smartphone.
Greets,
Che

unless you set it to block it when you are connected with activesync you are connected to what ever network connection the pc have

thanks for the answer. One thing i don't know is how i can set the phones internet explorer to use the bt connection and not the gprs.
i already have a activesync connection to the pc via bt, internet connection is shared.

in activesync, connection setting: this computer is connected to: maike it connected to the internet. that usually does the trick.
if you use a WM5 defice it's probably the only thing you can do to go online via BT, if you use a wm2003, it's whole different story. you can use PAN profile on the PDA and on the PC. I personally prefer the later one.

system->connections->connections->advanged
changed from myISP to mynetwork
then it use bluetooth for internet
and
" if you use a wm2003, it's whole different story. you can use PAN profile on the PDA and on the PC. I personally prefer the later one."
is only valid if you dont have vidcomm bluetooth stack

hi
thank you for the good inputs, that was what i have searched for.
It was a bit curios for me, because the OS Language of my phone is german, but now it is working!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Internet sharing and Bluetooth

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1) How to use (to share) the internet connection (3G) established by my blackstone on my Laptop, using bluetooth? On the blackstone, the screen for internet sharing only appears when I connect the mobile to the laptop with an USB cable. At that time it's possible to chose the type of connection USB or bluetooth. My question: is there a way to get this screen (internet sharing) on the mobile without pluggin the USB cable in order to use directly the bluetooth connection?
2) In the same way I would like to use (to share) the 3G internet connection setup by my blackstone on my HTC Kaiser (WM6.0) also using bluetooth.
Is it possible? Someone could explain the procedure?
The reason to do that, is to use Skype. If I try to use Skype on my blackstone, it's refused by the Telecom Operator. When I use Skype on my laptop sharing an 3G internet connection, it's allowed... I suppose it would be allowed too if I run Skype on my Kaiser sharing the 3G connection of my blackstone...
I know that is possible to do it with WiFi. Bluetooth would be better...
Many thanks for your answers.

In the programs listing you should have a program called "internet sharing" which allows you to select USB or Bluetooth. I haven't used the bluetooth setting but it has a settings option so should be able to do what you want.

Yeah i just select Bluetooth rather than USB connection and press connect.
Pair your laptop to your phone first then press connect, then on your laptop, click the taskbar icon and click quick connect > Network Access and then select your phone.

Thank you all for your helpful answers. I succeeded to connect my blackstone to my laptop using bluetooth and sharing the 3G internet connection.
However, I didn't succeed to share the 3 G internet connection setup by my blackstone on my HTC Kaiser (see my point 2 in my previous post). I succeeded to establish a Bluetooth connection between them, but I never succeeded to share the connection. (The Kaiser runs on WM6.0).
Any idea?
Many thanks for your help.
Franck,
