I upgraded my rom with shaps's 3.54b. I can connect to internet with phone, but it is impossible with usb cable to use it as modem.
When I try to use internet sharing it disconnect active sync and try to connect to 3g network. Sometime it can connect, but the pc cannot recognized the connection working. Any other times it cannot connect at all.
Looking for in system option on my pc i saw my phone as network device (windows mobile based device) and not like usb modem. Is it normal? Reading in other forum someone suggest me to install usb modem driver... where can i download the right driver?
Thanks
try resetting your phone before you connect it. Sometimes like you it'll connect but sometimes for me my phone says check usb connection. But i reset the phone and it works fine.

Hi,
My house is Wi-fi enabled (i.e. we have a wifi-router connected to our broadband) and I can surf the internet from my M3100. I do not have a wifi-card for my PC, and was wondering if there is a way to use my phone as a bridge? E.g. I'd like to connect my phone to my PC via the USB cable, and connect my phone to the internet via wi-fi with the net result of being able to access the internet from my PC.
Firstly, is this possible? Secondly if it is possible with wmodem then I appear to have a problem, for when I run wmodem (with active sync closed/disabled), then connect the USB cable to my PC, I do not get the 'found new hardware' box, and I can't get the USB modem driver to install (trying to manually add new hardware and browse to the .inf file does not work - it doesn't seem to see any driver in the inf). I'm using windows XP.
Any help you can offer will be appreciated,
Steve

I'm having this problem since a while now, cant connect my Jamin ( Prophet ) to internet via usb. it gives me some network setting error on prophet. tried to disable usb to pc advance settings ... didn't worked ...
any help ??
If you're Prophet works anything like my Kaiser, then you do need to switch on the 'internet sharing' on your device, and set it to connect via usb.
If you can't connect to the internet via usb, have you considered connecting via bluetooth?
That probably won't help, but who knows...

I've never been able to connect to the internet through USB on my Kaiser, even using the internet sharing application. The computer finds the device, but never the proper drivers to make it work. I can make it share over BT or WiFi with no problems.

Thats interesting, Jay.
May I ask if you're using a relatively new computer? I'm using a quite expensive 3-4 month Windows Vista Laptop which never required me to download any drivers to connect my laptop to the internet via internet sharing.
What you can do is try searching online for suitable drivers to install according to your computer model and make.
But hey, even if you don't find the drivers you want, know that using internet sharing via 'bluetooth' and not 'USB' is the best option. The reason why I say this is because the internet connection on your device will literally drain your battery real quick. That means that if you're connecting your phone via USB, you cannot connect your device to be charged as there is only 1 USB slot.
Now with internet sharing via bluetooth, you can keep the bluetooth and internet on which also drains the battery, but at the same time keep your device charging.
I never use internet sharing via USB but only by Bluetooth.
I was trying to tether to my laptop today and it seems that my laptop does not see the USB connection. I set my phone to internet sharing and connection of usb and phone as modem I then press connect it goes out and connects to evdo then it says check usb cable connnection. I then plug into my usb cable. Nothing happens except my charging light comes on. I know my phone works as I just tried it out on my co-workers laptop same procedure same cable and it connects without issue. I just downloaded the wmodem.zip installed it same issue. I Also tried to connect it first before I go to internet sharing. It connects to active sync then I start the connection and active sync goes away but I get the same message on my phone "check usb cable connection".
Bluetooth?
I had the same problem with mine and the usb connection. I think it needs drivers. if you look in device manager you might see a device with out drivers. If your buddys works find out what driver it's using..
I just use bluetooth. it works great if you have it.
Figured it out. In my network connections window when my phone would connect it would appear here under LAN or high speed internet connection. but it was in a disabled state so I enabled it and works like a charm.
Thanks for everyones help!
hi guys,
i have a big big problem - i cant sync normally my prophet. As I sync it via bluetooth oftenly it connects to the PC but there is no internet and browsing the phone options. The other and most bad problem is that the same is with the usb cable. even when I disconnect it it crashes the internet connection of the PC and I have to reset the network adapter everytime I disconect my phone. Oftenly I have to plug and unplug the cable to establish normal connection. I have the problem with different roms, using Vista 32x.. Please help .. I cant use my prohpet as it is supposed to
That's not really a problem its natural I have that same problem the PC is just trying to use your phone as a modem for internet access that's all. When connected to PC with your USB cable do you get internet access on your phone? if not you should configure manualy the phones network adapter when connected to active sync. It could work and we both got Vista 32 bit edition on Xp I don't get this disconnecting problem but if u wana sync only then uncheck the option in active sync Alow Data communications I think uncheck that option and your problem will go away ok but doing that ur PC won't share internet access with your Device ok hope you understand
Hi i have an HD2 and i want to use my internet connection from my pc with USB on the HD2 and this to Wifi...

now i start wmwifirouter... click on usb to wifi
he is connected...but i cant get an internet acces over another device ill used over wifi....plz help... what i must set?
USB Mode Rndis and Active sync oder Rndis and Internet sharing?
On the PC what i must setting??? I have windows 7...
plz help!!
wmwifirouter is made for doing the other way around
unless your setting block this your phone will have the network connection of your pc when ever your phone is connected to activesync
if it don't then you need to make sure that your pc firewall or activesync don't block it
and that your phone is set to use my network connection rather then my isp
th problem is...if i set rndis my pc dont find the device via active sync...
i have the same problem.
Run wmwifirouter on your device and then connect it to your pc. you shouldn't need to run anything else.

Not working.i select rndis and first internet sharing...not working..second rndis active sync not working.
I have made a blog post about this issue and how to configure this mode properly. It is tricky when you don't have a guide. It works seamlessly and I have purchased wmwifirouter just to use this mode
