I followed the directions on this site to tether my 8525 as an USB modem. It worked fine, except now ActiveSync doesn't work properly.
When I connect it actually created a new LAN network connection for "Windows Mobile-based Device" and is stuck on the "Retrieving settings" screen.
Somehow it seems like my 8525's built-in driver (HTC Hermes) has been deleted.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I have a new wizard and also had this same problem w/ my Jam. When connecting over Activesync via USB I cannot connect to my Exchange Server (works fine OTA). I also can't connect to the internet from IE.
TCPIP is checked on the network connection
Passthrough is enabled.
"This computer is connected to the Internet"
What am I missing?
not sure about wizard but with my himalaya
i just choose the my network connection insted of the my isp connection
in system->connections-.....
mine works.
qtek9100->usb->laptop(xp pro sp2)-any internet connections(wireless or line)
check if you use the latest version of ActiveSync (probably 4.1).
also use Network Connection (PC) to check if there's a device named something like "Windows mobile based device" installed and the device driver is updated.
on PC:
ActiveSync\Connection Settings...\This computer is connected to: "The Internet"
Hello,
I'm trying to connect my htc tytn (official htc wm6 rom) to my pc (vista ultimate sp1, wmdc 6.1, all fully updated), but fail to get the usb connection to work.
In the device manager, a device called "Windows mobile remote adapter" is added, but it carries an exclamation mark. The message is that the driver failed to load for this device (so wmdc never even gets to see the device).
Following what I found on the forum, I tried to disable the "advanced network" in the "usb to pc" section of the communications settings of the tytn. I can uncheck the box, but when I click OK it just reports: "failed to unload rndis to use serial connection"; next time is it checked again.
A bluetooth connection to synchronize with my vista works flawless.
How can I get the usb to work?
(I've tried everything apart from hard resetting the phone, but that is my last resort as it takes some time to configure it completely)
Thanks!

Hi,
Internet sharing used to work when I installed my new laptop last week, but somehow something went wrong and I can't figure out what!
When I connect the X1 to my laptop it is recognised and it starts up activesync. Works just fine.
however, as soon as I click 'connect' on the internet sharing tool on the X1, I hear the 'USB disconnect' sound, followed by 'USB connect' sound. The Laptop (XP home by the way) recognises the X1 and it tries to get an IP address. This takes about a minute and then I get the message that I have 'limited or no connectivity'.
I have uninstalled activesync, did a system restore, deleted the the activesync directory, and then reinstalled activesync (needed for the generic ndis drivers). This didn't help.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!

did u try internet sharing through bluetooth ?
I've searched for related topics, but none are quite on point.
The following works for XP, but not for Vista, and I cannot figure out why.
(Note: I have the unlimited data plan, please use with caution if
you do not have the plan).
I am using AT&T as my carrier.
Using CeRegEditor, I performed the following on my Motorola Q 9h global device running WM 6.1, USB connector is connected from phone to PC:
1) changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings = "ForceCellConnection"
to "" and rebooted
2) In HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections,
changed ATT ICS and MEdia Net "ReadOnly" value from 1 to 0
On the phone itself, I then selected Start->Settings->Internet Sharing:
PC Connection = USB
Network Connection = MEdia Net
After issuing "Connect" on the phone, I have internet access when the phone
is connected via USB cable to the Windows XP PC, but not when connected via USB cable to the Vista PC.
====
I have tried Bluetooth instead of USB when connecting to Vista, to no avail.
I have tried to obtain a new IP address for the USB connection, to no avail.
I disabled Norton firewall, to no avail.
I disabled the wireless card I installed last year when my internet
connection was DSL with a wireless access point, to no avail.
The phone connects ("syncs") fine with both PCs. On XP, the application is called 'Microsoft ActiveSync', and on Vista, 'Windows Mobile Device Center'.
I appreciate any advice you have.
It should work. I am using Vista SP1 and a WM 6.1 cooked HP 614c. Even managed to use the data connection in a virtual machine running on the same system. As soon as you hit ´Connect´ the sync session gets disconnection (status in Device Center is disconnected). Then Vista should detect a new connection called Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. When running it for the first time, a driver will be installed. After that it detects a new network which you can setup using the Network Center. Did this happen in your case?
Hey duckyman, thanks for responding. I do see the 'Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device' on the Network and Sharing center, but the connection is listed as 'local'.
I did notice that once you hit 'connect' on the phone that the WM Device Center application on the PC lists the connection as no longer connected.
This is normal behavior, however, as the same thing happens on Win Xp with the corresponding 'Active Sync' application, and the XP connection works for me.
I think the problem is with Vista. I will try one more time with Bluetooth instead, I noticed that under 'Bluetooth Settinngs' on the phone that though I had enable bluetooth, I did not check the box "Allow other Bluetooth devices to see this phone".

It works perfect on Vista and win 7
Hi All, new here
I keep getting "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate.Try again later" error when trying to connect to my home PC through "Internet pass-through". "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off.
On the other hand, no such problem when connecting through "Internet pass-through" to my work PC. The phone connects to the PC and Internet with no problem.
I guess the differences are because of a different internet connection type in work and home. Not sure what the connection type at work, but my PC at home uses a VPN dial-up of type "L2TP IPSec VPN".
Is there anything I should configure in this connection to be able to connect to the internet?
Current OS is Android 2.2.1, stock ROM, no tweaks.
*BUMP*
Anyone..?
I think you need HTC Sync installed on your computer(s) before you can use them for internet pass-through on your Desire HD.
I had this problem too on one of my laptops and my work PC but installing HTC Sync did the trick. You can get it from the HTC website.
Of course, and I do have its latest version 3.0.5511 installed on my Home PC, but still not luck.
I know it seems dumb because I doubt you use it but check your windows firewall. I have had it cause problems for me when it reactivated itself, after not being turned on in over a year, when I turned off Symantec firewall. Take a look at least.

Yes, as mentioned in my first post - "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off."
I've disabled Symantec Firewall by right-clicking its task bar icon, and selecting "Disable Symantec Endpoint protection Small business Edition" -shouldn't this be enough?
[SOLVED] by Microsoft TCP/IP fix
I've downloaded the following TCP/IP fix from Microsoft, installed it on my Windows XP SP3, restarted my PC, connected my DHD, and that's it - "Internet pass-through" is now connecting successfully! with no additional configurations.
