Hi all... I have a question: is there a way (a software, a trick....) to use my PDA as a wifi usb adaptor? i want to connect it to mt notebook and connect to a WLAN connected to internet...
i've found the thread with Pocket PC Proxy... do you think u can use it? hoìw can i charge the ip address of activesync?
i think PocketPCProxy uses bluetooth to transfer wifi network, double check it.
I believe this may help you (turns your phone into a wifi hotspot)

good luck
I think he refers not to using his phone to GET the internet through the WIFI card in his computer but to use his cell phone AS the WIFI card for his computer because he doesn't have a card.

Just spend 20 bucks for a pcmca wifi card for your laptop. The proven eaisest way.
Is there a way to use the WIFI connection on the Wizard on my laptop via USB cable? Maybe some sort of dhcp server or proxy server for WM5 ?
ok i may be missing somethinh here, but isn't the phone designed to do that?
just install the modem driver on your pc (its on the cd)
disable active sync
connect the phone vis usb
run the modem link app on your phone (its already installed) in programs
and away you go ??

Exactly
Isn't it easier and faster to just get a WiFi card and plug it into your laptop?
Did it not come with one already?

Unfortunatelly, the best way for this kind of conneciton - is JUST TO BUY a $20 WIFI CARD for your laptop.
I have an older laptop too, and would like to use my QTEK9000 as an USB external WIFI card using th einternet connection sharing on the device - but no luck so far.
you may try this approach: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1
but is is a painfull way and still doesnt help much (only HTTP).
So, the PCMCA WIFI $20 expence is stil the best solution.
I know that using Wmodem I can use the 8525 to connect my laptop to the internet through the Cingular data network.
But I have an old laptop that doesn't have an in-built wireless card.
Can I use the 8525 to connect my laptop to my home WiFi network ?
I guess no, there is no way to connect wifi card in tytn (TIACXWLN1) to PC, and also driver should be problem... maybe is a way to route internet throught NAT or somethink like that to USB port and Active sync with speciall program written for WM5/6, but I never heard about that.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have the Wizard function as a wifi-adapter in for instance Windows XP through USB, so you can hook up your phone to a usb port and Windows 'sees' it as a network device allowing you to set up a wireless connection through it.
Has anyone seen a tool for accomplishing this? I searched the forums, but did not find anything useful, mainly things about the wizard being unable to connect and stuff
Thanks in advance.
No...Internet Sharing is not available for WLAN adapter...

I didn't mean it that way, maybe I was a bit unclear What I meant was using the phone as something that shows up in "network connection" on the pc, i.e. a 'wireless network adapter'.
i am looking for the same answer may be
spone1 does not want to buy wifi card ..rather wizard has buitin wifi card.. can that card be used instead if PC and Wizard are connected via usb cable???
(Wizard has built in GPRS/EDGE Modem ..and it allows PC desktop to use that GRPS/EDGE modem for internet access )
wm5torage does similar
it captures the usb and turns the wizard card reader to a device like those multicard readers. Something that captures the wifi device on the wizard and introduces to a computer though usb like a wifi usb stick might be possible, as well as the camera as a webcam or any other device on the pda (as long as the device is not used by the os at all times). But some hacker should get interested in this I guess... I know which wifi wizard uses it should be tnet
would be a nice feature...they already have progs that let you use the camera was a webcam as well...even a wireless webcam...wm5torage does a good job of being a memory stick...wifi card would be interesting...
huh? which program lets you use thez camera wirelessly?
This question has also been answered in one of my articles - please DO follow the General forum, it's in there that I cross-post them.

no. he means using your phone as a wireless network card in your pc.
example :
-----------
you have 2 computers at home, one has a wireless network card the other does not.
you plug your phone into the pc without a network card. and connect to the wireless pc using your phone as a wireless network card.
not sharing internet between phone and pc or between 2 pda's.
using your pc to connect to other pc's, with your phone acting as a wireless network card.
basicly turning your PDA into a wireless USB network adapter....
This would be really usefull, and if someone knows a method please post it.
So that's what I say.
The "Internet Sharing" program in WM6 actually appears as a virtual network connection in host PC which provides gateway connection with a IP of 192.168.0.x (Just like using ICS). However it is available for GPRS connection only.
Well I know the MDA has the ability to use the program "modem link" but from what I can tell, the computer needs a driver for it to recognize the pda as a usb modem...any ideas?

You need the modemdriver for that. But also the internet connection to the wizard as a virtual modem gives only GPRS-internet, and not WIFI.

link for the modem driver...
I feel incredibly stupid right now...I didn't notice the driver was on the OEM disc...
EDIT: Just thought I'd share that using the wizard as a modem works like a charm! I'm on it now, and its actually pretty quick to load webpages, though it only connects at 230kbps (Still WAY faster than our regular dial up modems). Just dont try and download anything! :-D
No one know how to using wifi mobile as a USB WLAN adapter?
come on ,somebody help us
Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!
Possible solution...
I think you can. If you have activesync installed, you can connect your ppc to your laptop/desktop and specify that you can use the desktop's internet connection ("This computer is connected to: Automatic/Work Network/The Internet"). If your laptop has a wifi connection to your router, then you're all set!
Hope this helps!

The thing is that I would like to use the wizard as my wifi connection for my laptop. My laptop does not have built in wireless, so instead of buying a wireless card for my laptop, I would like to use the wizard's built in wifi as a replacement, sorta like a wifi card for my laptop.
in theory it sounds like a good idea, and might even work-- i would like to know how to do this just in case i ever need it.
but in your case, you might want to look at mpci/cardbus wifi adapters, get a good mpci card if your laptop supports it.
i have a intel centrino branded card that came with my dell 600m, i noticed a couple pulls on ebay just like it last week for about $25?
and on the upper hand, if you ever need to break into some locked networks, backtrax2 supports that card fully.
