When I plugged my JasJar into my computer via the USB cable, dirctly to the port on the back of my computer, my Windows XP system immediately detected the new device, and installed "Windows Mobile-based Device" (Network Adapter)
Upon attempting to find it with ActiveSync, it claims there is nothing connected. Upon attempting to activate ActiveSync on the JasJar itself, it comes to a window saying it is not connected, with info to connect to an exchange server.
I am using ActiveSync 4.1 (listed as 4.0 in Add/Remove Programs) downloaded from Microsoft website. I was at the time attempting to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2000. I have since connected the device to alternate USB ports, hard reset my device, upgraded to Microsoft Outlook 2003, and uninstalled + reinstalled ActiveSync 4.1 (in that order) in attempts to get my device working.
Alas, I experience faliure. However, my device charges, and if I uninstall the driver, it ceases charging. I do not have my SIM card in the phone yet, as I would like to be able to get a connection, and upgrade the ROM before I worry about making it a production system. Until then, I will be still using my old phone, who's profile I have deleted from ActiveSync, thinking it would conflict with my JasJar.
If anyone else has had this trouble at all, and figured out a way to get this to work, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. If any other information is needed, I can provide you with extensive information.
I have searched through I-Mate's supprt forum, and through xda-developers forums in the Universal sections, and looked elsewhere, and can not find any similar issues where ActiveSync will not see the device, or where it shows as a Network Adapter.
Thankyou!
yes I had same problem. Goto network connections>click on properties for local area connection Windows Mobile Device and checkmark all 3 boxes (Client for Microsoft Netwrok, File and Printer Sharing and Internet protocol.
It should connect and start working.

I did so. All three boxes were checked, so I unchecked them, saved, disconnected the JasJar, reconnected, checked the boxes, and did the same disconnect/reconnect, and soft reset the phone as well. Alas, it remains in the same state.
I do have a very strict block on TCP/IP ports on my computer, however, that is only with the Ethernet and Wireless adapters vis Windows's TCP/IP filtering, so that should not affect this at all.
Are there any specific IP address settings I should have? I do not have any firewall software installed, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1, and I have an HP iPaq 6315 that connects and syncs fine . . .
I very much want to upgrade to my JasJar. I am going to have to take it to one of my friend's houses who has a JasJar, and see if his computer sees it. I will not be able to do so for a while, maybe a week or so, but if I can not figure it out by then, it would at least narrow down the issue to either computer or JasJar.
Thankyou for your help, if you have any more information, maybe I just need Service Pack 2 . . . need to clean my HD up a little to make room for it though.
Minor Success
I have more information. I was able to connect to a computer that has Windows XP Service Pack 2 installer. It was a success. I was able to sync. So, I am attempting to install Service Pack 2 on this machine as well, and see if that is what is troubleing the whole sequence.
OK, there is something else. I upgraded my PC to Windows XP Service Pack 2, and it still fails. However, it fails differently now. The network adapter it is listed as has a conflict. I attempted uninstall, and reinstall of the adapter, and Active Sync, and no success.
It works on the Windows XP SP2 laptop, but not on the desktop. These ssytems are very similar in the setup with the way they have been configured, so I am uncertain as to why this is happenning. It makes me jolly sad.
I have been trying for about 10 days to get my Tilt to connect to my VPN with my AT&T service. One time only while connected to the usb cable was I able to connect VPN and then able to run Remote desktop. As soon as I disconnected the usb cable, the connection died and I have not been able to reconnect. never have I been able to connect wirelessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
wireless as with wifi or with their cellphone service?
if their service then if they block the ports required there is nothing you can do
I have been trying with cellular only.
Hi,
Use pcAnywhere to connect wirelessly.
kiwi992.
Please excuse my novice choice of wording....
I meant to say that I am having problems connecting over the internet side of the device as a stand alone connection. I have not tried wifi. My needs are to reset a modem server running a dial up program. If I remote desktop through my vpn I can use my current setup that I have for normal pc remote access.
Thanks.
Andy
Since I am having no luck with VPN......
I have been trying to get PCAnywhere installed but for some reason the install will not even give me the "other destinations" option to install (pcanywhere ver 12). Active Sync is running but the install just doesn't see the device.
Can anyone recommend a good vnc program for use with my Tilt WM6 connecting to my Windows 2003 Server?
Thank you.
No luck with the vpn.... yet.
No luck with PC Anywhere....yet.
The good news..... I have found a pretty decent solution.
Ultra VNC was setup on my server. VNC+ was setup on my Tilt. After the proper router port forwarding...... it's all working like a charm!
Going one step further. Both vnc programs were setup on my work station and can be run simultaniously. I can access my workstation from my Tilt and listen for a another connection on my workstation. A customer can connect to my workstation as normal and I can access the workstation from my Tilt. By doing this I can control my customers desktop through my Tilt/Workstation connection.
An added plus... my workstation can access all websites normally and through the vnc connection, they appear normally on my Tilt (yes in a small way, but they appear just the same.)
A pretty good alternative without paying the service provider for any additional monthly fees.
I have been searching for more than 3 hours for some kind of driver for my T-Mobile Dash, to use it as a GPRS/EDGE Modem. My iBook is an old G3 model, so even if I were willing to purchase Missing Sync (which I'm not, btw), my iBook is not supported, as it is not a G4 or better.
I am looking for a FREE driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger, specifically an "RNDIS" driver. I am not particularly looking for speculation. I believe I have the correct modem scripts, but I can't get my Mac to see the USB Modem. Yes, I have put my Dash into ICS mode. Yes, I am running Windows Mobile 6. Yes, I have all of the updates to OS X. Yes, I have tried searching the forums (this one, and several others). Yes, I have tried "Googling it", which produced much good information, but no solutions to my problem. Although my Dash is Bluetooth enabled, my iBook is not. Yes, I know I can add a USB Adapter. I may well do that in the near future. Right now, however, I'm just looking for an RNDIS USB driver for Mac OS X. I don't need Synchronization features, at the moment.
Anyone have any ideas??
Correction: Does anyone have any "good" ideas??
Thanks,

I just wanted to touch this and see if anyone had any information to help. My girlfriend has a new Pantech Duo and I would like to get USB tethering working for that. I did find a couple sites that may help (HowTo: USB Internet Sharing With Linux And Windows Mobile 6), but I don't know enough about the technology to feel comfortable trying it. Thanks.
I use my wizard as a modem sometimes just using Internet Sharing in my TNT Rom. You may be able to find a .cab for it. From there just use activesync/WMDC. I haven't tried it on activesync, only on WMDC.
he's using mac
download wmwifirouter by chainfire or the free trial of walkinghotspot (if your handset and mac have wifi), or a micro bluetooth dongle if not.

Pantech Duo doesn't have Wifi. That was my first attempt before I realized it didn't have it, because I'm using that solution with my Kaiser.
RE: bluetooth. I haven't had a lot of success with a reliable connection. I've tried with my Kaiser and successfully configured it, using it to connect three or four times from my house, but as soon as I went on the road, I couldn't get it to connect at all, using the same steps as before. I'm sure that's either karma or equipment smarter then operator, but I'm hoping for a USB solution for simplicity (theoretically) as well as the better data throughput.
SyncMate
Well, if you are using a Mac then here is what i used to do before I got Missing Sync.
For Syncing contacts and dates and such i used Eltima Softwares SyncMate. Runs pretty good and can be done using the USB cable. It also provides the option to do it over Wifi, which is faster. The Full version allows your to Sync even more stuff I believe.
For Syncing files, I simply paired my phone with my mac and transfered the mp3's, jpg's, etc.
Hope this helps,
Paul
Welcome to the hell which is created when you have a Mac and a WM device!
I have been mucking around with trying to get my internet connection shared with my MacBook pro for a couple of months. Here is what I have tried
- Bluetooth PAN - There is an issue with the MacBook Pro whereby the bluetooth PAN will produce incredibly bad latency issues rendering it useless
- Modem Scripts (Bluetooth)- Have never found one which would connect....I have tried a few
- Mobile Stream (USB) - Never managed to get a connection. The support team said that they had never seen the issues I sent in logs. They will investigate and hopefully resolve in future releases.
-PDAnet (Bluetooth)- It actually works! although it seems to hang the dialer process on the Mac periodically which requires a reboot to resolve
-Wifirouter - It works although it caused issues with access points in the office and drained the battery very quickly.....even when powered from the MAC it would empty the battery. Worked OK when using a mains charger.
-VMware Fusion to XP desktop (USB) - Works and works well however you can't provide (well i havent got it working) an internet connection to the Host Mac.
At the moment I am using the PDAnet 'solution' but I am always looking for something more reliable. A usb connection would be better and more reliable as there seems to be big issues on the Mac bluetooth environment.
Cheers

Hell, I couldn't even find an RNDIS driver for windows (apart from installing ActiveSync) which is why I made the Linux post.
Yeah, OSX is *nix based, but I don't think you can use Linux packages on it, what I know about macs could be written on the back of a postage stamp though.
Regarding the VMWare solution, did you try enabling internet sharing for WinXP in the VMWare session (using a different IP to the one the Mac uses) and set the default gateway of the Mac to the IP of the XP machine in VMWare?
What I mean here is that the PPC shares the connection to the VMWare windows machine via USB and the VMWare windows shares the connection to the Mac via TCP/IP.
To be honest I never really played about with sharing the virtual machine with OSX too much. I was a bit put off with running fusion like that all the time as it sucks the life out of the battery when out and about.
Until a better solution is available I will stick with PDAnet. It does put me off windows mobile (slightly) moving forward. It would be interesting to see if the Bluetooth PAN connection works correctly without the latency issue on the diamond when it is available. If it worked properly it would be the best solution.
Cheers
Aidan

With VMWare Fusion, setup VPN connection for the OS X host to connect through guest

I was reading this thread and you gave me the idea which led me to a workable solution so I thought I'd share back. I'm in the same boat as many ppl with latest MBP which doesn't work well with BT PAN (slooooowwwww). I sort of needed Fusion anyway since I'm starting to write WPF apps and performance is terrible over RDP from OSX (different subject). Anyway, here are some keys to getting this to work:
1. Setup a private network (not bridged or nat)
2. Install activesync on guest and fire up 'Internet Sharing' from WM6 device and connect device to Mac with USB cable.
-at this point you should be able to get online from the guest OS through the mobile device as previous post indicates-
Here is where the fun starts:
3. Create an advanced network connection on the guest (accept incoming connections, aka VPN connection)
4. *IMPORTANT* Go to the TCP/IP settings for the advanced network connection and setup a range of IP addresses in the same subnet as the active interface attached to the WM6 device (run ipconfig to determine). Make sure that 'clients can request their own IP address' is unchecked. Make sure this range falls outside of the IP address assigned to the guest interface from the WM6 device.
5. On the host Mac, create a new VPN connection (PPP) and set the host to the private IP address assigned to the guest (again, you can determine that through running ipconfig on the client). *IMPORTANT* Go to the advanced settings for the VPN connection on the Mac and set the DNS to point to the IP address of the router of the guest WM6 device interface.
6. Connect to the VPN from the Mac host and you should be off and running.
It works flawlessly with very good speed (relatively speaking) over the 3g connection. To get online in a pinch, now I just need to fire up the guest (which takes just a couple of seconds from a saved state), connect my device via usb with internet sharing started, and then connect to the vpn from the Mac.
I decided to start a new thread about this since the other one never got a response.
Have you guys tried this? I am not getting any connection at all unless I disable
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality, BUT once I disable it too just to, I get intermittent PC connections, sometimes it will connect, sometimes it wont with activsync giving me an error.
With it enabled, I see where the problem is, it cant seem to get a good IP address, please refer to pic below.
Help an1?
Possible solutions
First off a few questions. Since you say "ActiveSync" I assume you have a version of Windows XP (Pro or Home). The first thing to check when you try to connect your phone is to make sure you disable your firewall or to create a specific rule that will allow the OS to interact through the virtual network to your phone (in my case, Win XP and Outpost Firewall, I had to allow NetBios over this network and to allow all access for activesync software).
Now, the second thing:
The IP address does not matter that much. Either if it's 192.168.0.2 or the one you posted is the same thing. I have a TyTn and ActiveSync gives me a similar IP address to the one that you have, so it should work for you too.
You mention of an error. Is this an error on the PC in the classical sense (Message box with red X and only an OK button) or is it something that appears on the PDA? If it is the first case (PC error), please post a print screen of it so we may see what we are dealing with...
If it is the second case (error on PDA), the most common problem with Internet passthrough (via ActiveSync on USB Cable Connection) is this:
hxxp://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
On that page you can find a link to a .REG file that should be run on the PC. After that you should have a working Internet connection on your PDA (at least this was the case for me).
Sorry for the long reply, but your post was not very detailed.
Cheers,
Screech
Hello thanks for your reply,
I am using winxp Pro on my desktop and winxp home on my laptop. I cant get internet passthrough on both devices.
I use NOD antivirus and windows firewall. attached below is the exceptions rule activesync is included.
as for the error:
I only get the error on the PC if I have this disabled on the PPC
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
The error also does not happen all the time. But putting this error aside, it also gives me internet pass through. But because of the occasional errors, Id rather turn:
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
That on.
Hi to all
as i heave seen there is no solution for reverse tethering for android.
partial solution may be in using adb forward command and some sort of tunneling on windows.
What i think is that software on windows machine acts as tcp/ip tunnel and all packets are transfered to usb and on android device should run app that acts as other side of tunnel.
since im not software developer i wonder if someone might take a look at this type of solution for reverse tethering
please no solutions as buying router and similar.

Errr... no? Android is just linux, so you could do anything with it. It should be possible to tether using wifi, bluetooth or even usb.
I was reverse-tethering over bluetooth some time ago, cause I didn't have data plan.
Root your phone - most decent roms have ad-hoc support, so you could very easily share your internet connection from windows. I don't know about BT and USB on Windows. I think there are some PAN managers, so you will be able to create BT connection. Also I think there is usbnet driver for windows. But I don't know, whether it's possible to share internet to these two connections. It's all much easier on linux ;-)
i was thinking about sharing thru wifi and bt but when i activate ICS ip address changes and router at work doesn't like that...
using usb- i did find some reference about Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device and i got drivers but i can not figure out how to install them without messing adb.
my phone(lg gw620) is rooted and i do agree that on linux is easier but due to company policy i heave to use windows.
Have you tried conectify for your PC?

I'm not sure what do you mean. You connect your PC to a router using cable and want to share this connection to a phone using wifi, right? Then ICS shouldn't change your IP on router side (ethernet one) - AFAIK it set IP of interface you share *to*, not *from*. Modifying *from* connection doesn't have much, cause it would always broke your connection to the internet. Are you sure you share it in correct direction? ;-)

Humm.... so that's what the point of adhoc support on phone would be. I couldn't think of any reason my phone would need to pick up an adhoc connection
Ahh or maybe you have 192.168.0.* subnet in your work, ICS set same subnet on wifi side and this is your problem?
Also you could try to bridge these connections instead of doing "normal" sharing. It's easier and if your router doesn't do some MAC checks, this should work.
Isn't there are a easier way like we had on WM6. I am wanting to do it since ages and couldn't get through.

Could you recommend such a decent rom? I'm using LG GT540. So far didn't see a need to root, but internet connection sharing is definitely worth it.

It's possible, but Widcomm bt stack is needed, microsoft's built-in can't do it.
Search for Widcomm bt software v 5.0.1.801- Logitech branded (doesn't ask for licence files and no "software expired" message). NOTE- Widcomm drivers are not WHQL certified.
I use BTPAN for my ancient laptop with WinXP and Xubuntu 10.04, no problems with connection
@gen_scheisskopf
bt pan does exactly same as ics would. problem is that firewall at work doesn't work with other IP address then ones assigned by dhcp. doing bridje of two networks messes up ip addresses and then firewall messes with me .
why is it so hard to achieve? windows limitation or android limitation? can we write software to behave like generic rndis (winmo device description)?

Both. As I said if you have some decent ROM and OS on your PC, then this is just few clicks. I have an Ubuntu, so I click on "create network", then my G1 detects it and connects without any problem. That's all. On Windows Vista you won't have DHCP server and good NAT capabilities. On WinXP you will have problems even with creating a network. On the other hand if you have stock Android on your device, you will get into problems too.
hmmm....
some time ago i heave found drivers for linux devices that in windows it is installed as network device. i need to find that again.(here they are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4438553&postcount=41)
maybe this can be used to enable android to act as usb/network device and then to make some sort of routing in windows from regular network to this virtual usb/network...
time to bash my head with solutions and to try some of them, windows pc is ready for format c:.
Check this for a possible solution:

Reverse thetering in windows is possible and easy...
but it may depend on some drivers from your phone manufacturer.
I am using a Motorola XT300 Spice.
To use a USB reverse tether (i.e. sharing the computer network, so I can connect the phone to the internet to sync emails or browse the app market when I don't have a data plan from my company or a wi-fi network available) with XT300:
On the XT300:
- enable USB debugging
- root your phone (z4root works on the xt300)
- connect the USB cable and connect the phone on the computer
- a menu window will appear, select the Motorola PC Tools option
On the computer (tested with Windows 7):
- wait for all Motorola driver's be installed
- a new network interface will be created. That is your phone
- on the network management right click on the network interface that you use to connect to the internet, select properties, advanced, mark the internet sharing checkbox and select the network interface that has been created for your phone to share the connection
On the XT300:
- open a terminal emulator and type the comands
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
That is it. You have access to the internet.
On the computer don't forget to create rules in your firewall and/or anti-virus program to permit network traffic between the computer and the phone.
It should be even easier on Linux computers, since newer kernels usually have netusb support enabled but it seems that Ubuntu has its netusb.ko driver or some other needed module broken. I could not enable it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 but I could do this on Ubuntu 8.04 and Centos 5.x
I don't know if other android manufacturers are shipping NDIS5 USB capable drivers. I suppose that all have drivers but the only one that I have is the XT300. A little fidling with USB configuration may be needed, since names and options and menu can vary.
If someone knows the steps needed to enable usbnet on Ubuntu 10.04 I would appreciate the help.

You can easily undo this by disabling the internet connection sharing on the PC?
Its already here. I use it a lot. It is a standard feature on HTC sense revolution in the rom I am using. The function appear whenever you connect to PC with usb cable. So...
I guess you just need a sense rom or maybe extract it from sense...
