For me, T-mobile GPRS connection on the XDA with blank user ID and password and apn=wap.voicestream.com works fine, but when I use the XDA as a wireless modem the dialup connection on the desktop is stuck at "Verifying username and password..." stage. Does this meean I have to use some special user/password or is it some other problem? Otherwise I managed to configure the wireless modem correctly, the PC sees it, the Wireless Modem app on XDA flashes the connection and data lights...
BTW in Wireless Modem's log after the dial command and CONNECT I see stuff like
+CME ERROR 137
PDP_DEACTIVATED
I wonder if it's related to my "Verifying username and password..." problem. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

XDA II as wireless modem
Abat, I have the same problem. Where do you enter the apn?
My laptop dialog says "registering your computer on the network", then the XDA turns off GPRS and laptop says "connection failed"? Tried both USB and bluetooth, same result.
Has anyone got this to work, and can provide a step by step?
Using GPRS/EDGE as a Modem to access internet with Desktop/ Notebook Computer
When I need to connect my Notebook to the internet, I always prefer Wifi or Broadband line. If no such medium to connect internet, I will use PDA and USB cable. First of all, you need a modem driver for Windows 2000/XP and a simple dial-up utility. Both files are available here: USB Modem. It is a zip file and has 2 files, (1) USBMDM.INF, (2) USBModem_Dialer.exe. Just download them and unpack to you Desktop/Notebook. Second, you must set the partnership to your Desktop/Notebook first before proceed following set up.
Go to program and run “Modem Link” and set the connection type. In this case, choose USB and APN and tap on the Activate button (In my example, APN is Peoples.net). The device has switched to the modem mode and is ready to connect.
Photo 1 -3
At the moment you connect the PDA to a desktop or notebook over USB cable, the computer will connect the PDA. Let the system work until you see the Photo 4, select third options as red arrow, click Next.
In the next dialogue Photo 5, you can see that the new device is called HTC USB Modem. Even though the system offers to do this for you, you'd better select the second option as red arrow to be able to select location of the driver manually.
In the next dialogue Photo 6, choose the folder where you have unpacked USBMDM.INF from there archive and click Next to continue. The system will be working and configuring for a while. If no problems occur, you have installed the modem successfully.
Go to your desktop/notebook, double click USBModem_Dialer.exe that is part of the zip file you had previously unpacked. (Photo 7) As you see the APN must same as PDA one. (In my example, APN is Peoples.net) Click Dial.
Done. You can surf internet with you desktop/notebook.
Important : The key of this setting is that the APN for PDA and Notebook/Desktop must be same. The name of APN which you can ask the services provider.
Please note that all photo is not mine but I tested on my 818pro & Wizard and Notebook and work fine
Great info! I use my qtek9100 and T-mobileGPRS every day for this purpose. Only thing that is different is that I use the standard Dailup Networking of XP. You don't need to specify a APN but you have to fill in a number to Dial: *99#
I tried the above on my O2 XDA Atom and it didnt work, first in the PDA I was unable to select th APN (the dropdown list was empty). second thing is on my laptop when i tried to select the USBMDM.INF the laptop rejected it as unfit for the hardware.
help.
Hi all.
I'm not able to enter the APN number in my Dopod 818 Pro too. Any ideas how?
this is what i did on my O2 mini:
i. Installed USB Modem dialer on my notebook.
ii. Before connecting the PDA: Disable allow USB and allow Network checkboxes on Microsoft ActiveSync Connection Setting.
iii. Go to Task Manager on the Notebook. Disable all WCExxx processes.
iv. Create Dialup Connection as you create for normal dial up phone connection: No username or password: Dial up no *99#
v. In your PDA, Open Wireless Modem: Click at Start.
vi. Connect your PDA to notebook using USB cable.
vii. Changed modem properties at dial up connection to HTC modem.
viii. Proceed with dial up.
so far it works for me...
pls help
the device already switched to modem mode and connect to decktop,
but the desktop cannot detect to 838pro.nothing detect new device.
and how to setting the partnership to your Desktop/Notebook first .
thankyou very much

hi,
u will not be able to change apn anyways.u can only see it.
1st u should setup to access gprs internet on your ppc. this u do by going to
start>settings>connections>add a new modem connection, under select modem, cellular line gprs, next, now enter access point name as given by ur gprs service provider [mine is airtelgprs.com, gprs provider being airtel bengalooru] ,next, username and password as given by ur gprs provider [mine is leave both blank] , finish.
now go to modem link in start, programs, u can see ur apn as u entered.
if u still cannot see, go to start,settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks, under programs that connect to internet, select the name of gprs u entered in above steps.
now u can goback and see in modem link.
now without activating modem link, browse internet in ppc only to c if all is right with ur gprs. if sucessful, then close pocket ie, activate modem link, connect to desktop or laptop via usb cable, use usb modem dialer or create other connection with no. as *99#[which is better, since in usb modem dialer, u cannot save apn, have to retype everytime]
any problemo in setting up gprs connection in ppc , contact ur gprs provider for settings. make sure gprs works in ppc b4 u setup to work in desktop.
alternate methods to use wizard as modem would be to use bluetooth DUN, or try pdanet 1.7
I don't find any variations in speed in any methods, all r as gud or as bad.
after hard reset,i can connect to devicve.
when dial to connet to internet ,snow "remote access error 797"
pls help
thanks

My XDA Atom is detected as a 'Windows USB Modem' rather than 'HTC USB modem' and the driver in the zip is not compatible with my device. Can anyone place the link to the driver file for XDA atom into this topic?
Is there any posibility to connect using HSDPA?
Because the subject specifically mentioned GPRS/EDGE ...
Thanks
I was searching for this solution some hours now...
Great fix!
Great!
Thanx!
Suberly simple and works perfectly!
Regards

I have an AT&T/Cingular 8525
I'm still having trouble. I connect the USB cable (after selecting connect onthe Internet Sharing). When I go through the process and select the .inf file, my PC (running WinXP) says that the "file contains no info for the device". What's going on with that?
I've searched all over the net and downloaded the USBMDM.INF file from 100 different places (thinking they were just corrupt files) but to no avail.
Someone help, please!
How do i set my internet to authentication mode?
I have id and password. But how do i put them in the PDA and
connet to internet??
I have a ipaq hx2750 with a wm 6.5
If you are talking about a WiFi connection then the device should ask you to enter the key after it finds the network. There is not much difference in connecting to a WiFi network with WM6.5, other than the new skin...
Its not just regular wifi. Its authentication mode.
Where you have to put in an id and a password.
Its different from other ntework keys where in other
ones you would just put in a passord with out an id.
You could read a Windows Mobile manual...
Try the Connection Tab under settings. When you've opened up your WiFi networks you can tap on them and change settings like acces mode etc.
where would this manual be?
I dont think a manual will help. Do you know the name of the authentication software used for connecting to this network?
Anyway try this program. Connect your phone using active sync and install it through the computer because there is no CAB file for this program.
Let me know if it works for you.
How do I even install it thorugh active sync?
I'm a noob.....how do I start active sycn anyways?
Plz help me...........
First off, do you have Windows Xp, Vista or Mac?
If it's XP you must install activesync from here
Install it and connect your device to your computer using the USB cable or bluetooth. When a connection is established, open the file I attached before and follow the instructions to install.
If you have Vista, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
If it is not already installed, download it from
here
Install and plug your device to your computer to establish a connection and follow the previous instructions.
If you have MAC, download the sync program from here
Install and follow previous instructions.
Hope this helps
Okay i got it installed but the problem is
the program does not show up on my
start menu or anywhere.......
where can i access this program?
You cant see it installed. Once you turn on wifi, go to start>settings>connections>wifi and select the network you are trying to connect to. In the dropdown menu where you select the security type of the network, select the Securew2 instead of wep or wpa and then the program opens and you can edit the settings.
Hm......i really don't see it........................................

Hi There
Have a look at this

Hi All,
I have recently installed the DFT ROM om my HD2, I want to sync my contacts using my Windows Live account.
I got this message every time I tried to access the network data connection:
"can't connect
We're having a problem connecting to windows live. make sure you have good reception. if you do, the problem may be on the other end. wait a little while and try again"
and if I tried to access gmail:
"Not updated We're having a problem connecting to m.google.com. try again later.
Error Code: 80072FA8"
I tried both data connection and 3G connection.
does this ROM have such problems? what is the best ROM to install instead of my current ROM?
All the other roms are directly based off the original DFT rom. Only major difference would be the chevron is built in. Was fantastic for me since I had all sort of connect problems with chevron. I would use a rom that has that built in.
As far as data goes you would probably have to enter your apn. I had to. Or an easier way would be to load a rom that had chevron built in and download HTC Connection Setup from the market or sideload it and that should straighten that out.
