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!
Hello,
Just upgraded my 8525 to the latest and greatest ROM. Well ... greatest should really be within quotes!!!
I'm having 2 problems ...
#1) I cannot use my phone thru DUN. I select Internet Sharing. Disable ActiveSync on my PC. Select PC Connection as USB and Network Connection as My ISP GPRS. When I connect the USB cable, I immediately get a message box that New Hardware has been found (Generic RNDIS). Windows (XP-SP2) then prompts me to install the drivers. I click Next but it does not find them and throws an error that Drivers could not be found. I've searched the internet and HTC sites in vain, but cannot find anything that helps.
#2) When I connect my device using ActiveSync (4.5), I cannot get the device to use ActiveSync as a pass-thru for the internet. This results in any calls made to the internet to fail.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm back on the road on Tuesday and need to get this resolved.
Thanks

Mike,
I had tried that earlier today but it did not work. I unzipped the file and pointed the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location. When I click Next it searches and finally returns with "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I'm confused. Aren't the Remote NDIS drivers part of the ActiveSync install? What am I missing here?
-- Val
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I also have the same Problem but a different situation
I would like to tether with my phone which I can do with no problem on most computers. However I have a corporate laptop that I cannot install activesynch on...So i just need the driver to install when I connect my phone via USB.
So i get the same error as the guys above me...so any fix to this problem that does not involve installing activesync would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I had the same problem, but I resolved it.
First, install Activesync 4.5.
Second, when you plug your device and it ask you for the driver generic RNDIS driver, you can choose the place of this driver (don't choose automatic).
So point the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Drivers
Then Ok (or next I don't remember)! After windows'd install alone the good driver.
Enjoy your synchronization!
Bye bye
Upgrade ActiveSync

When I used ActiveSync 3.7, this version can not recognize Generic RNDIS. I’d upgrade this version into ActiveSync 4.5, its work.

Generic RNDIS Error for Windows 2003
Hi Guys,
I am also facing the same problem but I am using windows 2003 server.
I am using HTC Touch phone. Please help me out with some solutions.
Thanks

I had this same problem with my HTC Touch Cruise. Here's what solved it:
Go to Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Uncheck Enable advanced network functionality
Then the computer sees your mobile and sync begins (at least for me).
Something worth trying...
If you look at the driver settings for "Windows Mobile Device" under WinXP it shows a file called:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\rndismpx.sys
I'm wondering if the rndismpx.sys file is all one needs to use to install the driver so that WinXP will see the WM phone as a viable device and therefore allow you to use it's Internet Connection Sharing function to give the PC a data connection to the net?

Ok I too had this problem, and refuse to use active sync as it always muck up my special clock settings. This is what fixed it for me.
As i DO have active sync installed on my desktop system, and taking the advice of the persom who posted above, i just copied the "DRIVERS" folder onto a disk (From \Programme files\Microsoft Activesync), took that to the laptop i needed to install on, and installed the driver manually, pointing to the DRIVERS folder on th CD i just made. All installed, and "Pinging" nicely!

Yep, that did the trick for me. And this was after spending two hours on live chat with AT&T which was useless.
Thanks. Who knows how long I would have been dinking along looking for a clue.

This wasn't even the least bit helpful.
The article just tells you to install ActiveSync or WMDC.
I'm having sam problem with windows 7 64bit, and couldn't find solition, can t upgrade my rom...
Do I need drivers? I'm trying to fire up the "Internet Sharing" application that came with the XDA rom, but I'm having some trouble finding the right settings.
Thanks in Advance
The drivers are already included in ActiveSync 4.5. Just open the Internet Sharing app and tap "Connect". You will get a prompt to check the USB cable connection (if you've chosen to connect via the USB in the drop down menu). Connect the USB cable and that's it. You're connected.
I have a similar question...I've tried to install Active Sync 4.5 on Windows 2000 SP4 and when i do it says missing DLL. Anyone have a solution or am I stuck with no AS4.5 and NO wm6?
While the 8125 is connected with Activesync 4.5:
Select:
FILE -> Connection Settings
and verify that under "This computer is connected to:" is set to:
The Internet
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........................................
I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that I need to connect to Windows Mobile Center via Blutooth.
Note: The same steps Works with a Windows Mobile 5.1 device in the same computer, and I tested with two different computers.
I can pair the PC and the PDA without problem.
In the PC I run Windows Mobile Center.
In the PDA I run ActiveSync and select "Connect via Bluetooth".
The PDA open a window with the text "Openning port...".
The text changes to "User authenticated".
The window closes, and a full screen message with title "Synchronization Error" and text "This device is not allowed to connect to desktop computer" appears.
The PDA is a new and clean device. The computer isn't connected to Active Directory Domain. It has Windows 7 (the two computers tested)
I thing this is a security configuration, but I can't disable or grant access. The pair Works without any error, and I can see the pair settings on the PC and on the PDA.
Also: When I try to run an app (.exe) copied from SD Card or install (.cab) an error "This app is not signed with a trusted certificate" is shown, and I wan't to remove this block, but I can't edit register or Access via ActiveSync.
Note: I post similar questions on other forums, different to "xda" without response.
Thanks for your help!
In the end the problem was that the device was locked for security. The manufacturer sent me a cab to disable security, which in this case only annoyed.
If someone has the same problem, send me an email to duefectu(a)sd-a.com and I will forward the file.
