Hey all,
i'm running Windows XP on my PC, got a Linksys Wifi Router (model: BEFW11S4) and i'm running my internet through it with no problems.
i can also run other computers through this router to use the net too, but i dont have a clue how to set up a network to share files or printers.
my pc is hardwired by ethernet cable to the router, and another pc is on a wifi dongle. my exec can connect to the router to use the internet, but wont connect to my pc (obviously).
How do i get started????
please, a dummy's guide would be great if anyone could help?? step by step kind of thing??? i know i'm asking a bit of a pathetic request, but hey, out of options.
any help would be much appreciated peoples!!
Pleeeeeeeease!!!!
Can't help as I have the same Problem
I have the same problem, although thus far I have not even been able to connect to the internet.
Somebody out there must be able to give us the 'idiots guide'.
This is for setting up your home network:
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/
Follow the above link - it's the one I used to get started setting up my first network.
Take your time and learn the ins-n-outs of setting it up properly (User permissions, security, etc), so you make sure you share only with those you want to.
Sorry, guys, I haven't got the time to write out all the steps for u now.
To map a shared network drive, I believe the only way is to use a utility such as Resco Explorer (latest version). It's a damned handy little prog, well worth the outlay.
Good luck with it...
Can you describe the actions you took to make it work? I'm using a mac, which I know most of you aren't, but I'd still like to have as much information as possible so I can try to figure out how to use it with macs, via usb or bluetooth. I know there's a wiki entry for tethering via bluetooth with the wireless modem setup, but the method doesn't work with Internet Sharing. If I(or someone else for that matter) can come up with a solution, I'd be glad to add it to the wiki.

Unfortunately, it seems it won't work with the Mac - see http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041555&page=2&pp=15 and http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030837 .

...that blows Appreciate the response though. I wasn't quite sure where to try and get more information on the subject. Doubtful that apple will release a software update for their bluetooth hardware to allow me to do it through bluetooth. I'll probably have to wait on a 3rd party app. Thanks again.
Update...was able to successfully use parallels to tether and connect via usb, but I'm not sure if it's possible to share that internet connection with OSX. Will keep reading.
Cingular 8525 (AKU3)-Internet Sharing with PAN problems
I have a Cingular 8525 (AKU3) and use BlueSoleil BT on my laptop. I followed the instructions described in the forum. After starting Internet Sharing and using PAN I see that the 8525 and the laptop are connected through PAN, but the laptop is not connected to the Internet. What am I missing? I can see that the PDA is connected to 3G, but for some reason on the laptop I can send, but not receive.
I even tried the same with my desktop with the same result. Is there a setting in BlueSoleil that is the cause for not getting on the Internet?
i cant get PAN working on sony ux280p (toshiba stack) with tytn mobile 6.0. it works fine on aku 3.2
Can you describe in detail how you did it?
reinstall or downgrade your bluetooth driver.
i have PAN working on aku 3.3, after i do "windows update", i having the same problem as u. so i have to do "windows restore" back a few week and pan working again.
now i'm on wm6.0, sony ux280p (toshiba stack) cant even find the pan service no matter what i do.
but pan is working on my desktop with windows xp with wm6.0 tho..
Kalrykh, I might be misunderstanding you here. ..but if you're trying to make the phone's "Internet Sharing" provide internet access to your Mac via USB, you can use Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. I've been using it all week (with WM5 AKU 3.3 and now with WM6) and it works *brilliantly*. I just tap "Connect" in Internet Sharing, then plug into my Mac. A few seconds later the Mac is online.
i use missing sync for the mac..all i did was install it and the started the internet sharing program on my tytn and my 8525 and it worked on both
Has anybody used a Nokia N770 or N800 with the new internet sharing system? I am planning to buy one and I want to be able to tether it to my 8525 when I upgrade to WM6.

OS 10.5 will support Bluetooth PAN profile.
I'm sticking with the current official Cingular ROM on my 8525 until then.
OS 10.5 is rumored to be coming out maybe at the end of March.
*wonders*
Why the fuss with bluetooth? the speed isn't fantastic.. stick with good old usb.. =)

dont like cable! but i have no choice! bt pan mobile 6.0 dont work with toshiba stack. but usb pan does work..
found no answer yet.
I tried both BlueSoleil1.6 and Widcom5.0.1 on my laptop XP with my WM6 based Qtek9100, both MyBluetoothWorkplace and Internetsharing show the connection is established, but IE (on the laptop) can't browse anything (while PIE will work over GPRS).
When I Ping the device IP interface (eg.192.168.0.1), it returns "request timeout".
That's strange! any help on that?
I used to be able to tether using my old ROM as well as the "un-official" new ROM versions prior to the recently released ROM update dated 4/09/07.
I use Missing Sync (ver 3.0.2) on OS X, and it would allow me to tether the 8525 using internet sharing set to USB. Now the only way I am able to tether is via the Bluetooth PAN, and even then the connection is spotty at best.
Did the official ROM change the way Internet Sharing works? This is very annoying and any assistance or ideas would be welcome.
I downgraded from the CUSTEL 2.5 WM6 ROM due to Missing sync's inability to sync with it as well as an inability to tether my Mac. Vista using Bootcamp works but Vista isn't my cup of tea...
Soon...
In a couple of weeks time you will have a solution to your problems with Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows Mobile. (Hint: it's not free.)
I am assuming that this would the much anticipated Missing sync update. If only I could shorten the wait... oh well.
Thanks.
Not really. Trade your 8525 for the iPhone!
bluetooth pan
something must be wrong with your phone because I use Bluetooth pan with internet sharing at work, in my car, at home and it works just fine. I even thought about ditching the Internet at home

I do it too. All the time. Is AWESOME from the car, especially in a a 3G area. (Parked, not driving.)
i can't even connect my 8525 to my mac via bluetooth. it worked once and now the phone won't open up the passcode screen to connect.
edit: my rom is version 1.34.502.3. should i update to a newer one?
I think its the location that I am at that may be to blame. I have a really slow connection via Bluetooth PAN. The same isn't true when using Vista and Internet sharing via USB - that connection is much faster (though it too blanks out at times).
As for connecting to OS X: simply start the Bluetooth setup assistant on the mac and search for "any device". Then select the phone and pair the two. At the very end of the process the Mac will list the services that are available via the phone. One of them will be the shared network.

yeah, it stalls after i select it from the device list. the screen where it gives me the passcode to connect it, it seems like my phone doesn't receive it. not sure. but you think i should upgrade the rom? looks like mine is kinda old.
I'm posting with OSX using my phone right now
delete the bluetooth pairing on the osx machine and on the phone
from osx bluetooth assistant and select any device
if it asks about using the phone as a headset disselect that
if the phone once pairs asks about a serial device do not select that
verify if bluetooth still is on on the phone
goto internet sharing
bluetooth pan
connect
make sure its actually connected to the internet
on the osx machine click the bluetooth icon again and select "join network on ___your phones name____ "
thats it!
sometimes give it a second
if it still doesn't work make sure you don't have some kind of crazy firewall setup
using Custel's 2.5 rom (windows mobile6)

Hi,
Some weeks ago I tryed to use MissingSync for internet sharing with different WM6 versions without success. With official AKU3.3.1 version it works with the USB cable. But battery life is very short with this version.
Regards.
Yes, missing sync does not yet support WM6. Try the "normal" bluetooth pan method described above.
Anyone tried doing OS X tethering with newer versions of the WM6 roms?
I'm currently running vp3G 2.0 (WM6), rom date 5/15/07, radio 1.40.30.00, protocol ver. 32.73.7020.16H
Because I'm working offsite tomorrow, I was hoping to use my phone to tether my laptop to work with VPN on the laptop... and then I can login and out of the timeclock, etc. But trying it from work tonight before I leave, I can't get the bluetooth on my 8525 to connect to the PC.
Followed Neomuzic's instructions to the letter, but Safari isn't getting things working. Any assistance would be appreciated!!!
Nevermind... I'm a dork! Figured out where Internet Sharing was on the phone, and all is well. Having a little trouble connecting to my work proxy server... but messing with that now.

As of August2007, Missing Sync 4 supports WM6.

Hello all,
I usually dont post much since i rarely have anything to contribute, but this time I do. I am running a macbook connected to my cingular 8525 thru the bluetooth pan and have zero problems. I upgraded my rom to the new vp one with all the latest settings and love it. No more looking for a hotspot for me. I dont use safari broswer on my mac, i use firefox. Thanks to everyone on this forum with the knowledge and time for helping the rest of us.
What i do is connect my JasJam to xp running through parallels, start internet sharing and it installs the drivers(first time of connecting it) and then it works perfectly everytime. Only in xp though.
I have installed the latest missing sync but havent tried internet sharing on mac osx but now that u guys say it works thats awesome! Will mess with it later (knowing me i won't attempt to get it to work until i'm off in some foriegn area with no internet connection and will need to download drivers that i'll struggle to get through pie/opera on my jasjam...) i fail to plan ahead with things like this! lol

Tethering 8525 to MACBOOK. HELP.
I tried several different approaches to tether my 8525 to my MACBOOK, with no success.
I have specific scripts from the web installed into the modem scripts folder. No luck with any of them. I believe the scripts aren't the problem but the COM ports are the culprit.
I recieve an error message that says," Failed to open RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled in your device"
This is after pairing the 8525 to the MACBOOK and completing the blue tooth setting in the Network folder in the System Preference folder.
The pairing is successful because I can "send files" to the 8525 via blue tooth icon.
I read somewhere that the MACBOOK should allow me to set and choose COM ports but I haven't found the option.
My question is where do I find the COM port option in the MACBOOK because I believe that is where my problem is.
MACBOOK C2D, OS 10.4.10.
8525 ROM: 2.15.502.3

Hi Guys, My laptop wifi is broken so i'm wondering if it is possible to share my Wing's Wifi to my laptop via USB.
It is. I don't know about a default rom, but you can internet share off your phone's 3g on the rom i use, juststable. I've only figured it out for 3g though, not on a wifi network.
i''m using FingerMe currently but I used JustHome 19 before and I can't figure out how to make it work

You just run the Internet Sharing program included in the ROM, connect via USB, follow the program's directions, and you're off!
(Unless apreincher removed internet sharing...)
It should work with your WiFi connection on your phone, too.
Oh, and, on a WM6.5 ROM, it's called Modem Link.
hmmm.. i still can't make it to work. here's what I want to accomplish
- Connect my Wing to WIFI
- connect wing to laptop via USB
- share the Wing's Wifi connection with laptop
my laptop's wifi is broken so i'm currently looking for alternatives..

Hmm, well you said you are using the Modem Link program from WM6.5, correct???
You can install the original Internet Sharing program, here: http://thewingster.com/internetsharing.aspx
(direct download: http://thewingster.com/Documents/Internet Sharing.CAB)
Maybe that'll work for you, if you aren't using the Internet Sharing version already. And also, I think you're supposed to start the internet sharing, and then connect your USB. Otherwise ActiveSync might interferre.
ace, have you actually done this?
As far as I know, the default Internet Sharing program wont actually share the phone's wifi connection with the host computer.
The solution is to use Internet Connection Sharing Control v0.21, which is a third party application that was created specifically for arranging the data stream however you want. The author touts it as being capable of "Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the PC (neat, eh?)." Looks like it might be a somewhat complicated program to figure out, but it should accomplish whatever he's asking.

The default Internet Sharing program has a connection called WModemLink, which might be WiFi.
I never tried it though, so it's true that the third-party app is probably better.

Hi there Im not too new or anything i just don't tend to post very often. Anyways on to my question, my Vibrant doesn't seem to connect to my wireless router which is in my parents house atleast 75ft away. But my laptop does. Is there anyway i can connect to my laptop and use its WIFI? Is there an app or maybe an internet sharing option. I've looked around online but haven't really seen any good tutorials on this topic. thanks again in advance.
Yes, you can share the internet from your computer. Which OS are you using? Windows calls this "internet connection sharing".
Here's a tutorial for XP
