i do not want buy a 3g data card for the laptop is it possble to feed the laptop
through wi-fi or with a cable from 3g universal
I dont think you can do it by wifi but you can connect the 2 devices by wifi no issue. I tnihk the same applies to the cable either USB or LAN. However you can by bluetooth. All you need to do is set up the exec to be discoverable and get the lap top to look for bluetooth devices and explore the services on them. You will them see the bluetooth modem. Then all you need to do is to create a link to your mobile operators gprs or 3g internet connection in the usual way. You will need to download the setup specific for your network.
Good luck
Also remeber to up the speed from the default as this assumesgprs and you have afaster connection with 3g.
If you do not have bluetooth on your laptop just buy a BT dongle for about £15 then you are away.

An XDA as a router! Wonder if MS will make a version of the Internet Connection Sharing Wizzard for WM5! LOL
I can see the use but not someone actually making it.
There is a thread on this somewhere.
I connect my universal to my laptop via the sync cable and then the laptop uses the universal as a modem and connects to teh web at 3g speed. The universal comes with wireless modem, you just have to play around to get the drivers on the laptop to see the universal when you plug in.
works well.

Have a look at chainfire's app which allows you to do it through wifi:

Wi-fi only?
This link appears to be wi-fi only.. will it work with the Sprint Network.. ?
Yeah, what it does is convert your Mogul's WiFi into an access point. Your laptop will access your Sprint connection as though it were connecting to your wireless router at home.
if my laptop is wireless?
I wouldnt need to use my phone if my latop is Wi-Fi.. Guess what I was wanting is a way to use my laptop using the sprint network, for when I cant get Wi-Fi.
I thought is was possable but I must have been mistaken

This is the point. Your Mogul will be your WiFi access point that will use Sprint internet connection. This is for when you CANNOT get WiFi with your laptop.
OMG !
I'll try it one last time...
1. Your laptop (as you just confirmed) is capable of receiving WiFi.
2. Your Mogul receives Sprint's data connection.
Unless you are not aware, your Mogul is also capable of receiving WiFi (like your laptop). What chaninfire's program does is make your Mogul capable of SENDING a WiFi signal while connected to Sprint so that your laptop will receive it. Your laptop will be connecting to Sprint's network through Mogul's WiFi signal. In other words your Mogul becomes a wireless router.
OK. i get it... Sorry.. was confused
Didnt mean to sound like a idiot.. but I was lost thinking that I could only use Wi-Fi.. But now know I can connect to the Sprint network and using wi-fi to connect my Laptop make perfecr sense.. now if I can just figure out how to get it working.. I'll take a lok at the like you sent me.. If I remember it looked confusing but I'm sure its not as bad as it looks... thanks a lot

The program is super simple. I use it to connect my iPod Touch to the net.

If you follow the instructions you will also unlock the internet sharing app. Once you have followed the instructions in the thread about chainfires app, to share your internet over USB,do the following.
1) terminate the activesync app on your handset
2) Run the internet sharing application
3) As soon as its done connecting,plug in the USB cable.
4) Enjoy the internet. A similar procedure can also be used to connect via bluetooth,but you get better speed over USB or via WiFi.
If you want to use wifi,you can either follow the adhoc method listed in the thread,or you can use a wireless access point. To use a wireless accesspoint,set your WAPs local IP address to 192.168.0.2 Internet connection sharing will want to be 192.168.0.1 Now you need to connect your mogul to the WiFi network,and connect your PC to the wifi network. Go into the network properties and set your pc to 192.168.0.x where x is an unused address. Set the gateway and DNS servers to 192.168.0.1 and your on the internet. As far as I know,this should work with multiple computers on your network,and it will connect up easily and seamlessly when you flip the wifi switch on your mogul.
From the WMWifiRouter topic:
Sprint HTC Mogul/SERO Notes
It seems Sprint is up to shenanigans in regards to tethering for SERO users. Those of you running Sprint ROMs should navigate to the following registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing" and delete the string value named "Extension". This will allow you to connect to the Internet via the Internet Sharing app without the dreaded error 67/authentication errors. Previous to this fix, Mogul SERO users would have to connect to the Internet via another method (such as starting Internet Explorer first) before pressing the Connect button in the the Internet Sharing application.
If you're really paranoid (it has been concluded these entries have no meaning when using Internet Sharing), using a registry editor, navigate to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\WModem" key, and set the "CheckProfile", "Multi-NAI" and "WModemDUN" DWORDS to a decimal value of "0".

WMWifiRouter does this for you automatically, but that isn't much help if you want to share via USB instead of WiFi. The above solution should work with USB as well, and the error 67 goes away. GL
on internet sharing... should it be set to phone as modem or sprint pcs?

With the Mogul you can have your Wifi card on and still be on Sprints EVDO network at the same time. Basically you are broadcasting the EVDO connection wirelessly. I use it on my laptop and get pretty good download speeds. It pretty much like using the Sprint EVDO connection data cards...You have to go into the adapter settings under the connections tab and give it a static IP address (ie 192.168.1.9)
Work with Verizon?
It seems like all of the posts speak about Sprints network, do these methods work with Verizon?
Are there any methods specific to Verizon?
I just signed up with for a SERO account and have one major question regarding the wifi router app... Does it put the phone into "tether" mode? In other words, will sprint be able to detect that you are sharing your connection or does it simply bridge the phone's EV-DO connection to its wifi connection?

It's a bridge but Sprint can always detect it if they wish. A guy over in the WMWifiRouter topic says he has been tethering for quite a while this way and hasn't gotten a bill for it.
Oh So simple.. Bluetooth connection
Well I Got my Mogul like 2 months ago and just stumbled across the internet sharing app and to my suprise it worked.... No Xtra software required
I have a macbook 13'in w 2g ram, bluetooth and all that. I use my mogul with my mac and it works like a charm wish i had EVDO in the area but it is good for now....
Step one: Pair your mogul with your computer.
Step Two: Make sure you Have a connection to the net on your mogul. Use ie to go to a page on your phone (otherwise it will say your username and pass are not right)
Step Three:Open internet sharing on your mogul. Make sure your PC connection is: Bluetooh Pan and the Network connection is: Sprint PCS
Step Four: Tap the connect tab on your phone
Step Five:After the internet sharing has a connection to the net, go to the bluetooth settings on your computer, Select you phone and connect
There you have it Tethering VIA bluetooth with no Xtra software.
here is a question.....what if i need to connect a desktop to the internet using the mogul? how do i go about that? everything is about wifi and there seems to be nothing about connecting a desktop to it.
can someone give me pretty detailed instructs on how as i have never done this before.
thanks
I use pdanet for Verizon Titan. It works very well and simple. Simply connect through usb or bluetooth and bamn..you are connected. It also does not charge you any tethering fee....but acquiring pdanet is a cost unless you can find it somewhere....
problem is I dont know how to "simply" connect through the usb. Im pretty ignorant where this stuff is concerned. is there any free ware that does what pdanet does? not that im a cheapO but hey money saved is money earned right?
Finally - our own forum!
I've had my dual for about 4 days now, and have been looking at various ways to connect to the internet in the abscence of wifi. My network providers data rates are pretty high, so i was wondering if anyone has been able to browse the net through their PC's internet connection via bluetooth? I've heard of the activesync route, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Failing that, how are the rest of you connecting to the net?
I am connecting not at all. Haven't had enough time for giving it a try, because there were some hundred contacts to move from old phone to new phone, one by one via Bluetooth is p.i.t.a.
Anyway, i'd use wifi on my nokia 9500
Best

I'm 24/7 connected via 3G.
But when connecting activesync through bluetooth, this is working also...

yes, activesync should work. which OS r u using on your pc?
i'm using XP, and my laptop has bluetooth built in. I've tried getting it to work via Activesync but not having any luck as my Dual can't see the activesync service enabled when connected to the laptop. Did you have to configure specific ports just for activesync?
Not released yet, but possibly this'll help when it is: Spectec SDW-823
Not sure when that will be released, but will keep an eye out for it.
At work we have a wifi network we can use, and I had this plan to use an old Ipaq/PDA as a wifi/bluetooth gateway for my Touch Dual. The way I could see this working is to connect to wifi via the Ipaq, and 'share' it's internet over bluetooth. Even if I could do this, i'm not sure the dual could connect to a Bluetooth PAN network natively and share it's connection..
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.
Hi,
Was just wondering if the polaris can be used as a WIFI adapter for PC?
i.e. using the wifi capabilities of the phone to connect to internet on the pc.
Thanks
hi I think what you are looking for is wmwifirouter - google that and will bring you to there homepage. Not only does that but can do other sort of tethering as well eg - 3g to bluetooth, 3g to pc, wifi to pc, and others.
Hmm, so with this program, basically I can connect via the following illustration?
wifi router ----wireless---> polaris ----USB---> PC?
The site you sent to me sounds moe like making the smartphone into a router.. Though, i may be wrong..
Thanks though!
hi yes it does both though i believe to do what you are asking the computer has to have internet sharing enabled someone correct me if i"m wrong, but I have done this myself when i was playing with this program and had it working although i have only done this once as i use the program to make the polaris a wifi router.
