I can't recall the name of that software that I read about some time ago that allowed to use the titan as a modem to reach the internet with a computer through activesync, without using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

What I use is PDANet. It's not free, but for me it is well worth the money. I use it for all of my connectivity when I am out of range of other means for my laptop. It does require that Activesync be active.
PDANet is fine. Try WMWiFiRouter.
if looking for a free solution...... then download a custom rom found here in titan upgrading.............and use Internet Connection Sharing ICS
PDAnet is the one I was looking for. I want to use it with an old PDA that doesn't have ICS.
Thanks!
OK, I have a jasjam with all the factory provider settings for internet. All works well. But how do I connect to a laptop and use the jasjam's internet on the laptop?
My moto has phone tools that does this. But I wanna do it with my jasjam... Help anyone?

Yeah it's fairly simple. Make sure Activesync 4.5 is installed on your laptop (don't know if you need it if you use Vista)
Connect your laptop to the device with USB cable.
On your device start Internet Sharing (if it doesn't have it then you will need to install a ROM that does... pretty much all cooked ROMS do)
Then click connect... give it a few seconds and you should be able to connect to internet via your phone's internet connection
You can also do this via bluetooth. First go to Internet Sharing and instead of USB select 'Bluetooth PAN' in the drop down box
Click connect...
Then only your Laptop in Control Panel> Networks tell it to connect to Bluetooth Pan and you should be done.
You can even do this via Wifi but you need to get commerical software called WMWifiRouter
Cheers. I found that the bluetooth I was using was a little complicated. Ended up using an older stick and it works great. Thanks.
I just got a Tattoo.. I think new users have always problem.
Somebody help me for the following:
1. I want to access internet at home on my laptop running Windows 7 by TETHERING with my Tattoo GPRS(EDGE). Is that USB connection and selecting 'Mobile Network Sharing'?? But I am still not able to success.
2. At my work place we have wired network, so I want to access Internet on my Tattoo by USB connection to a PC, just opposite of Tethering, let's say RETHETING. but I could not find anywhere.
Thnx

Thank you everybody. I resolve my 1st problem. Yes, it is just USB connection and selecting 'Mobile Network Sharing'. My problem was because of not able to install the NDIS driver properly. After resolving the driver problem it is working fine.
But I am still looking for my 2nd problem RETHETING

I'm not sure if it will work that way... I know with a Windows Mobile device you can, but never tried under Android. Perhaps there is an option somewhere in the HTC Sync program?
There definitely isn't an option in HTC Sync to do this. In fact, I don't know of any way of generically sharing your internet connection over USB. If your work PC has a Wi-Fi card, you could easily share the internet connection over an ad-hoc network.
Edit: In principle, you could also share your internet connection over Bluetooth but I'm pretty sure the Tattoo doesn't support the necessary Bluetooth profile(s) for such connections.

I think Wi-fi ad-hoc connection is for rooted androids only and I don't found any rooted tattoo till date. I tried another option, using Connectify on my Windows 7 laptop and sharing Wi-fi. But still unable to success browsing, eventhough my phone can be connected with my Laptop through this connectify.
Anybody have success browsing it kindly share.

Uh, what? I'm sharing my internet connection over Wi-Fi with my MacBook right now and my Tattoo can connect to it and access the internet just fine.
Edit: You're probably thinking of android-wifi-tether, which lets you share your phone's 3G/2G mobile connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

If you are talking about tethering, it is OK, I am just satisfied with USB tethering, it is working now, but What I am actually looking for is about RETHETING just converse connection of that tethering. (I know there is no word like RETHETING BUT I don't know what is the right term of just converse connection of tethering.) The problem is, I want to share wired Internet at my working place with my HTC tattoo phone as I have limited GPRS subscription to save some money and to enjoy speed of that wired internet.
I thought running Connectify on my Windows 7 laptop connected to that wired Internet as a Wi-fi hotspot then connected by this android phone (Tattoo) is the right solution.
Yes, it is connected pinging is ok but could not access internet from my Tattoo. May be some firewall problem or something I cannot figure out. If some one have solution it is most welcome.

No, I was talking about "retheting"; my MacBook has a wired (ethernet) connection to the internet and is sharing it over Wi-Fi, which my Tattoo can connect to and use.
I did some reading up on Connectify (and was surprised to find that Micro$oft still hasn't quite implemented the feature natively on Windows yet) and it should work. I don't have a Wi-Fi card on my desktop PC so I can't test it myself but perhaps you are having something like a firewall problem.

I have tried with Connectify and also Virtual Router on my Windows 7 but could not success. I think you are lucky to own a macbook. My Windows 7 is RC so it might be because of that or Tattoo may lack something.
Regarding that android-wifi-tether, it reports as rootted device required and could not help my requirement.
I thought you were talking about an usb internet sharing connections...
If you want to do it via wifi, is pretty easy, since ALL windows have the ad-hoc functionality made by default. Problem is that if you use it with your wifi chipset then you won't be able to conect directly to other wifis if it is your main connect unless you buy another wifi card for this purpose...
in windows 7 you can find this functionality under the connection center... in windows xp is a little bit difficult because you have to configure the adapter into the wifi adapter properties in network connections tabs.

Yes. I actually want that USB internet sharing. But till date no one is seem to success it.. So, while waiting for this solution.. I am just looking for alternative, that sharing through wifi.

I also thought that it should be very easy, and tried all possible means that I know but could not success. One funny thing is, I can get IP address resolved of any URL on my tattoo after wifi connection. It means it can reach DNS server and can resolve IP address but still could not able to browsing. May be some firewall or Antivirus is blocking the browsing on my Windows 7 pc I need to check thoroughly.
If someone have good explanation, it will be very helpful... thanks.
Wifi is working
I was making my laptop complicated by setting 3 static IP networks..as my work place has 3 gateways and I manually change gw when required. I clean it up and set to only one. Now Internet through Wifi of Laptop is OK I am using Connectify on Windows7.
Thx for the patience.
But still waiting for solution on USB "Retheting"
Is there anyway I can connect my x10 to internet from my laptop using wifi?
I used to be able to connect internet on my iphone with DSL connection on my laptop via wifi but same steps are not working with x10.

Apparently android cannot see adhoc wifi networks... There is a Wifi router software for windows 7. search the forum.

I read somewhere in here about PDANET free app found on market. I didn't try it yet.
PdaNet app. requires USB cable. It is free if you want to use it to browse unsecured websites. You need to pay if you want to use it for secure websites.
Android 1.6 can be teethed using a wifi app...but that requires that the phone be rooted and a custom Rom installed.
Ok, for those who don't know what root means. It means that you have super user privileges, like a developer.
So far, nobody has been able to root the X10 though there seems to be progress.
USB teethering is not a bad alternative as long as I can share my internet connection on laptop with my x10.
Thanks guys!
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.
