Sharing a 3G Connection over WiFi with WM5

Is it possible to share my 3G operator connection over my device's WiFi connection, essentially turning my phone into a Wireless Access Point?
This would be a fantastic function, there must be some genius out there who's written a small app to do this.
I'm using a HTC Hermes (TyTn) running Windows Mobile 5.
Waiting in anticipation... Thanks.

As far as I know, it's not possible. You could share it with a notebook or something via USB or bluetooth and then have the notebook act as a wireless AP. Only way I know to do it. Sorry.

This is where I found my solution........

Ameo able to share internet connection via wi-fi ?

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question
I have an Ameo , and I also have use of a UMPC - which has Wi-fi , but no BT
Would it be theoretically possible to create an adhoc network between the two devices (wi-fi) , and thereby share the Ameo's HSDPA connection ?
I realise that simply connecting them by USB cable will let me do the same thing, but I really could do without having the two physically connected
If the above won't work I'll have to get a dongle for the UMPC I think !

I'm not sure about WiFi but I can tell you something use a USB cable, the one you use for ActiveSync. What I found this summer when using my X7500 as HDSPA modem for my PC was that using USB with the internet sharing connection was far more stable and fast than using BT wireless connection.
Now related to WiFi, just a theory. I don't think that you can with the provided software. What Internet Sharing program does are two things as far as I understand. First launch a connection to the HDSPA system and "listen" the PC either on BT or in USB. Second manage to do some sort of routing between the WAN network (HDSPA) and the "local" network (BT or USB). But I place local between quotes because I'm not meaning LAN which is real LOCAL Area Network, that could work in WiFi. I mean "local" in terms of near to the PC or something like that.
So... perhaps you will be able to connect the Athena and the UMPC using a peer-to-peer WiFi connection which looks possible to me. And for sure you will be able to generate a HDSPA connection to the WAN. But you need a program to route the data from the HDSPA to the WiFi in the Athena in order to get communication in the UMPC using the Athena as router which is the function I mention as second function of the Internet Sharing program.
OK all this is in theory off-course.
Anyway I can tell you that phisical connection using USB for Internet Sharing is solid as a rock and works great for hours.

8525 As a Router

I'd like a laptop to make a routerless, wireless connection to the Internet via an 8525 Hermes, i.e., the laptop will use the Hermes' Internet connection. Is this possible? If so, any one have a link describing how its accomplished? Thanks.

This used to be one of the most requesed features... till this guy broke it down for everybody.

Wireless Adapter

Hi,
Was just wondering if the polaris can be used as a WIFI adapter for PC?
i.e. using the wifi capabilities of the phone to connect to internet on the pc.
Thanks

hi I think what you are looking for is wmwifirouter - google that and will bring you to there homepage. Not only does that but can do other sort of tethering as well eg - 3g to bluetooth, 3g to pc, wifi to pc, and others.

Hmm, so with this program, basically I can connect via the following illustration?
wifi router ----wireless---> polaris ----USB---> PC?
The site you sent to me sounds moe like making the smartphone into a router.. Though, i may be wrong..
Thanks though!

hi yes it does both though i believe to do what you are asking the computer has to have internet sharing enabled someone correct me if i"m wrong, but I have done this myself when i was playing with this program and had it working although i have only done this once as i use the program to make the polaris a wifi router.

[Q] Internet Connection Sharing from smartphone to router

Hi,
I'm going to move to a location where no reasonable internet connection is available... but 3G seems to work.
I'm now looking for a mehtod to use my old Artemis as an UMTS modem which shares it's connection with my Linksys WRT610n router.
I already searched the net but couldn't find a good solution (except for using the artemis as a wifi router and letting my real router repeat this signal).
Does anyone happen to know a solution which makes this possible via USB?
Or, as an alternative solution, does anyone know a tiny, "green" and cheap computer which could be used to forward the connection from the Artemis to the router?
Any help is highly appreciated.
