I have used Internet Sharing on my 8525 with my laptop.
I want to use it with my work PC but I am not allowed to install the ActiveSync software at work.
What file/driver is needed to get my PC to recognize the phone as a USB modem so that I can avoid installing ActiveSync?
I imagine there is a driver file for the USB Modem portion.
Following another thread there was a zip file with the WModem app and an INF file for the USB Modem but this does not seem to work with my phone.
I am using the AT&T WM6 release.
Anybody? I suspect I just need an inf file but cannot find any threads talking about this situation.
Thanks.

Can someone upload the INF file for using the Wizard as USB modem in Windows XP/2000? I left my bluetooth dongle at home and need to use my laptop to upload data. Thanks!
Here's the .inf. Because you cannot upload .inf files to this forum i have zipped it
TIP: i've put this file on my storagecard and together with WM5storage, i can always acces it
Thanks for the QUICK response! I did not enjoy posting that original message request on my Wizard.
This is what makes this site great, I've always found the best support here ever since I owned the Wallaby in 2002.
i want to use my gprs to connect to internet on my desktop pc..i dont have bluetooth or ir just usb cable and avtivesync installed...i used wireless modem application on my device and it gave some sort of com error..i searched a lot but couldnt find anything...immediate help is required
thx in advance
you need to open Wireless modem from programs menu,select usb and press start before connecting to the usb cable, after that it will detect your phone as a modem, then use the modem driver provided in your cd to install. after installing you need to create a dialup connection and dial *99#. you will get a complete tutorial with pictures from the docs folder in your imate jam cd. it is a pdf file.
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with Windows Vista...I can't install my PPC-6700 as a usb modem. Oddly, this worked on older beta builds of Vista, but no longer works. When I plug the phone into the computer with wmodem running, the device is identified as a generic serial device. when I point vista to the driver .inf file, install begins but then craps out with the error cannot find file. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MJB
Found a solution. Download the attached inf file to use with Windows Vista. It has been altered from the original version.
Best,

CDMA_USB_Driver works
I just tried the CDMA_USB_Driver with my T-Mobile MDA on Vista Business and it works just fine. With the other versions of the usb modem drivers I had also been getting the "file not found" error but this one work just fine
its offical this driver does work for vista whereas the original did not. Why my BT card comes in i will probably use that since from what i read it works better than usb in vista but for now this will be fine
Running into the same problems, Might sound crazy but where do I put the *.inf file?
Also, is there a new file to upload to the phone to get it to work?
Thanks.
Mine works fine with Vista Ultimate. In order to get it to work, make sure that you have no bangs in device manager. Connect the phone to the computer and it should detect it as new hardware. Once the new hardware wizard comes up point it to the usb file. It should install the modem after that. Once that is completed go into network connections and setup a dial up connection for the phone. Use #777 as the number to dial. that way when you start the usb modem on your phone, you connect to your system. Click on connect to, and then dial. It should connect without any issues..also if you do not already have it, download and install windows mobile device center for vista. This is the new app that is replacing active sync. Once installed it will recognize and sync with your phone
Is there any charges for this if you have the unlimited data plan?
Hello,
I tried to run the Modem Link application in the program files folder in my HTC Wizard (imate kJam) but when I connect it via USB, it asks for a driver, I wonder where can I get the drivers for that?
Currently I am using Bluetooth to connect to GPRS (i-e use GPRS on my computer) but I think connecting via USB might speed it up.
Please help, thank you.
yeah. the driver is inside the installation cd that came w/your phone. You can also find there a modem dialer program.
I have a Blackstone there are one month, i tried many times to synchronize my outlook data via Bluetooth (Win Vista) but always no connection obtained. sync can done only using USB. also files transfere from PC to Blackstone pass without any problem.
anyone can help me?
I am having the same difficulty, I am fine using activesync via USB and set up the bluetooth apparently but they cannot "see" each other on bluetooth. a walkthrough on the GRemote website (http://gbmsoftware.com/index.php?op...e&id=17:bluetooth-howto&catid=3:faq&Itemid=14) says "Then you should download and run WM6BTPAN.exe on your device."
I have limted knowledge and have only ever used .cab files to run on my device. is this file unsuitable? It's an .exe inside a .zip, niether of which works on my phone.
