Hi!
I have a problem connecting a WM6 Hermes to a Laptop running Vista without the Mobile Device center installed. When I plug the PDA in over USB the sync icon shows up on the PDA and the WLAN gets disabled. Is there a way to keep the WLAN from being disabled?
Thanks!
on your PC:
ActiveSync -> File -> Connection Settings -> allow wireless connections...
But... it's Vista with the Mobile Device Center
That does work on XP. I Have to deal with the mobile device center on Vista, though.

I m trying to connect internet via ActiveSync after XDA Mobile 6 (XM6) - Taking You to the Limit Rom Updating.
I used this reg code
Connecting WM6 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
i connected my Mda using usb cable actibesync conected perfetly but my Mda is still dialing its GPRS whe i try to browse any thing.I cant use internet connection via usb cable. What i m Doing Wrong?
Actually, that one is simple. Bring up the activesync box on your computer click on file and then on connection settings and uncheck the box that says "allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop" and activesync won't allow it to make connections through GPRS any longer.
thanks for the help. i knew it was simple lol.
No problem, glad I could help.
on vista you have to use the windows mobile device centre instead of activesync, when i use this with my spvm600 the connection with the pc is very eratic, usually crashes half way through syncing something (although contacts, calender seems ok) and when i use active sync 4.5 on an xp machine the connection is fine and constant.
I have usb switch on the device, is there any difference with what setting is used, serial or RNDIS, when serial is used a window appears checking the connection but does'nt on RNDIS. I am connected via usb
is there a quick fix for vista?
just downloaded and installed wmds 6.1 and seems to be behaving itself
When I had Windows XP and ActiveSync my phone could connect to the internet when it was connected to my pc with USB.
Now I have Vista and my phone can not connect to the internet.
The ActiveSync had an option, "This PC is connected to the internet" I can not find that in Vista's Mobile Center.
Do you have any solution???
Windows Mobile Device Centre aka Windows Vista's Active Sync
a little search arnd the forum could have saved you some time. anyways here's what you do.
Since you are using Vista, you cant use or install Active Sync in Windows Vista. They replaced Active Sync with Windows Mobile Device Centre [WMDC].
When you connect your device to your computer, WMDC should be able to recognize it. Then go to Mobile Device Settings and choose Connection Settings.
In the Connection Settings, the third option is This Computer is connected to:
choose Automatic
Your PDA/Device should now be able to browse the internet or Logon to Live Messenger etc.
If this doesnt solve your problem, please i recommend you to search the forum with the terms being Windows Mobile Device Centre

have your shared your internet connection, through the properties of your LAN connection.
once you do that, you may have to reinstall WMDC once again for it to pickup the internet share option.

I updated the software from microsoft and now is working, thx.
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".

hi to all:)
i am new one on htc hd
and i want to use free internet through computer internet dsl
because in my country (EGYPT) internet with mobile is expensive
so any one help me for that?
thanks
Use activesync on phone and Windows mobile device center on pc. Presto.
i have windows xp and only the program which run in it is activesyne
and windows mobile device center can not run on xp
so any other program please?
Free though for advanced users: share your internet connection using WiFi ad-hoc connection.
I
Using Usb connection:
I don't have a big experience with the active sync, but it might have some configuration on that that allow the external devices to use the pc's connection. Beside that, configure your internet connection to be shared.
If you choose the wifi to connect the PDA to Pc to do that, it could work fine, but be sure to use a WEP encryptation, as the XP doesn't recognize newer security protocols, as WPA and furthers.
In both cases, configure your PDA to access the internet via "My work network". the way is: settings -> connections -> Network (or connections again, depending on the Windows mobile that you use) -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks.
Good Luck!
Stay in peace!
make sure "advanced networking" (or something like that) is enabled in activesync settings
