I accidently broke my wireless network card [laptop-XP] and was wondering if it is possible to connect my hermes via USB to the laptop and use the connection from my router.
Router > Hermes > Laptop
Thankyou
Hermes is running WM6 T-Mmobile
If the hermes can use my wireless network can it not just share it with my PC via USB?

OK..I was about to start a new thread with the same question but luckily found this question. I have the same question, the only difference being that I am using HD2 now. So is it possible to use my HD2 as a Network Card rather than using the one in my laptop cause it is Atheros based..and it sucks !!!
No, Internet Sharing only gives option for using the existing Data plan for sharing. I do NOT want to use that....I want to use my existing Wireless Network in my house.

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.

Most of the wm6 ROM´s have included the WIFI router or a similar aplication, so it´s very easy to set up
I'm searching like crazy but can't find a thing.
When I connect my HD2, I get to choose 3 modes. The last is to give free my internet connection the the connected PC. But then I can just choose my 3G connection and not the WLAN.
Is there a way to add WLAN as well? It means I would use my HD2 as a WLAN stick.
thx tomylee
go to startmenu->tools->wifi router
thx, but there i can choose only from cell connection or COM1
Am I right in thinking that you want to connect your phone to a Wireless network, and then use it as a modem for your PC?
If I am then I'm sorry, but this can't (currently) be done.
Best option? Get a Wifi dongle off eBay. They're dirt cheap - I saw one for less than £5!!
OK THX
strange that they block this
This is possible if you use WMWifirouer. http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/

You cannot use your phone as a wireless adapter (connect it to your PC and pick up a wireless signal)
You can connect your phone to your PC and use the 3G on your phone for a PC Internet connection (i use this on my laptop sometimes when i need proper access to Outlook)(this is 1 reason i don't have an iPhone)
You can set up your phone as a router (other PC/devices find it and use the phones 3G connection)
You can connect your phone to the PC, and get the phone to use your DSL (broadband) connection by default and NOT your phones 3G.

I think it can be done with WMWifiRouter, or their Feature description is false.
- Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa

but unfortunately WMWifiRouter is not free, and as said before, there are some really cheap Wifi dongles on the Internet, much cheaper than WMWifiRouter and your HD2 together.
I tried WmWifiRouter before and it was able to do the wanted feature.
Just give it a try.

Please explain connecting phone to PC wi-fi to wi-fi (PC has Wi-Fi AP MB support) and using PC (connected to internet by ADSL modem) for internet sharing.
Hey.
I searched the forum for an answer, but couldn't find it.
Is it possible to connect the HD2 to internet using the USB cable?
So the PC network would share it's internet connection to the mobile?
Thank you.
A.S.
i use program called wifi router shares internet by making phone a wifi spot.v good software n its free
i havw found that on the us tmobile hd2 the internet sharing that comes with the phone has been blocked after the recent ROM update. wmwifirouter software works but its a pricey app to purchase but well worth it.

Hello, sorry if there was a thread like this one, i searched but couldnt find anything.
In the old days, when i had a winmo samsung omnia, then i connected it to pc, it could use it's internet connection, is this possible with x10 ?
Thanks in advance.
PDAnet in Android Market.
I think that software lets you use your mobile connection in pc, what i need is, to use my pc internet connection in the phone, cause i dont have data plan atm :]
u mean internet sharing from your pc. why dun u just turn on your wifi and connect to your router directly?

Anyone ? I really nead this :|
If you don't have Wifi, what are you expecting to do?
Your only other option is setting up an ad-hoc network with your computer (if your computer has a Wifi card capable) and set it to internet sharing, and have the X10 connect to your ad-hoc network.

Replace "X10" with "Android"
Doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
