Hi Guys
Sorry if ive posted this in the wrong place (Admins, feel free to move it if need be)
Well... My old iMate JasJar (HTC Universal) died completely last night, so today I went and got myself an OKTA Boss... Im pretty sure its an HTC Manufactured phone, just cant quite work out which model... But anyway... Onto my problem
I regularly work out of the office and rely on my PDA for internet access, I used to use the USB Dialer for WM5 with the JasJar and it worked just fine.
Now the new BOSS has WM6 so has Internet Connection Sharing... But I just cant get it to work...
Everytime I connect it the icon in the taskbar (Im running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5) searchs for the IP address and then fails to find an IP, coming up with a error in a bubble:
"There is limited or no connectivity on this network connection"
ActiveSync works fine, as does browsing and copying files to and from the phone within My Computer, but Internet Connection Sharing doesnt...
Heres what Ive tried so far...
-Turn off USB Connections in ActiveSync (on PC, have to do this anyway or PDA complains)
-Diabled Windows Firewall (on PC)
-Disabled or deleted all other network connections and old USB Modem drivers (on PC)
-Turned off "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" (on phone)
-Tried 3 Different PCs and 4 Different Cables (all with same results)
-Yelled @ various peices of IT equipment in my house LOL
So any ideas on how to fix this?
If not then my Screen Name is living up to its meaning.
mabey the phone is not getting gprs/edge?
Make sure you close the ActiveSync when it try to start, you can do it with the X Button
or simply use the
Setting > System > Memory > Running Program
select ActiveSync and the click Stop
If you do this quick the internet connection will up if you let the ActiveSync run long enough it will set up PC to your device connection for data syncronization/transfer only with no routing to internet.
Hope this help
Maybe Your service provider does not allow you to use your data connection to share with the pc, try using pdanet that way you can syncronise and use it for ICS at the same time

Hi
I have been trying to connect my laptop via bluetooth to the device to obtain internet access via GPRS.
I had this working (just once), but now it keeps giving me stupid errors. Basically, it connects, then instantly disconnects without leaving any error messages. I then try reconnecting (fails) again, with the same message. On the 3rd try, it tells me that the line is engaged (it aint). Once you get to the 3rd try, soft reset of XDA IIs is required in order to try again, in which case, we go back around in a circle!!!
Really anoying thing is that it successfully connected *once* (browing working fine etc) and that the settings are identical to what they were when it connected successfully.
Bloody thing. Any idea's?

Hi
Please try to follow this steps!
1st Make sure you don´t have any ActiveSync connection in your Bluetooth settings in your PDA.
2nd Create in connection wizard in your PDA a ActiveSync via Bluetooth connection.
3rd Goto to your ActiveSync in your PC and goto to FILE>Obtain Connection
If you have the connection made via bluetooth and your active sync start connecting, you already have Internet in your PDA. If not open your PDA ActiveSync and try there to make synchronization.
I hope i was usefull.

Maybe you missed the point. I think the original post was on how to connect a laptop to the internet wirelessly though a Bluetooth connection to the XDA then with the GPRS internet data connection on the XDA. Your post sounds like how to get internet access on the XDA through the laptop connection. I also have the latter working but not the former. I need some detailed instructions on how to accomplish the former through BOTH GPRS and dial up. I need the steps to take on the PC as well as the mobile device.
internet access through gprs
It's something due to xp protection rules.I hope you'll find solution looking at advanced section in modem property (in windows home page start>setting>modem>modem properties);there's a string shorter than the original one you've typed,lacking of ",0,0" at its end.
Try to add it manually.
Hope this help.

The answers should be here...
Hi Mr. Serj. I seemed to have a lot of problems and after "messing" around enough I found the solution. In the end it was pretty easy. My description is for WinXP but it should be pretty close in Win2000. See the fourth post from me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18404&highlight=
swamp2 - that was really useful, thanks.
I have searched everywhere (here and on other sites) and it seems like if I tell the activesync to pass through to the internet, I should have internet on my pda when connected via usb...
This is not happening! I went through all options and used a few troubleshooting things that nobody seems to mention (like ipconfig from the ppc msdos console) and I can't figure this out at all!
I am using a wallaby (siemens sx56) plugged into my laptop, which is wirelessly connected via home network into cable modem. I put every .exe file in the program files/activesync directory on the "pass through" list of the firewall.
When activesync connects, all looks normal unless I try to get online via ie (from the pocket pc). If I go to the ppc dos prompt and try ipconfig, it reads me back 192.168.55.101 as the ip address, and 192.168.55.100 as the gateway. These are not close to my network settings. It can't ping my laptop and my laptop can't ping the ppc using the above address.
What am I missing??? I am using xda-developers operating system and activesync 3.8 on my laptop. PLEASE HELP!!!!
ps. I am planning on getting a wireless card for the ppc - might I still have this problem when I try to connect using that too??
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
wallaby's SD interface dont support SDIO which are wifi and well everything but memory SD cards require
so getting wifi will not help you
activesync have some settings related to sharing the connection
so theres no way to get this thing online (except pay for cellular service or <supposedly> through usb cable)?
That sucks!
Anyway, as for the usb thing, I looked through activesync on my laptop and the only thing i could find is where it should connect to (internet or work). I tried both with no results. Is there anything I'm missing?

When I installed AS4.1 at first I could not ge connected. Until i found out AS4 now uses TCP/IP for WM5 devices (like my Wizard).
The newly made network connection on the PC was there, but nothing was ticked (TCP/IP/ Client for MS networking / File sharing). Ticking all boxes did the trick. I was pleased.
To my suprise then when i started a sync, the rest of my applications could NOT get to my network. Nothing.
My Wizard could get to the network / Internet (via AS) however.
I then found out that just ticking the TCP/IProtocol (and leaving Client for MS networking and Filesharing unticked) gave me the right combination: Sync and still have network.
Are you changing these settings on your Wizard or your PC?
in the pc as i think
I looked at the PDA network settings on my computer and they are already checked but it still drops off the network when I plug in the USB cable. Do I have to change anything on the Vario as well?

On the PC
hi all,
i've been trying unsuccessfully for days now to try to connect my ipaq 114, running on windows mobile 6 to the internet via my desktop connection. someone suggested the internet pass through connection but apparently active sync does not support that anymore. i have absolutely no idea what to do or if i can even connect to the net via my desktop connection. my pda is also bluetooth enabled. would that be an easier option to do or not?
i've trie googling for answers but most times i end up more confused. can someone please help this newbie out . it would be most appreciated.
if your activesync is not set to block it or your firewall is not
then going into settings->connections->connections->advanced select network
and choosing my network or something like that
should force your device to use the ac connection as network
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i'm not sure but i always close my firewall when i active sync as my firewall always interupts my connection
i don't see this advanced select network. so i just click on connections settings in active sync and enable evrything.didn't work. do i have to like set up new modem connection or something really basic i have not done
it's a tab called advanced which have a button called select networks
on ur desktop puter, goto active sync connection settings and have it set to the connect to the internet...mine didn't work if i had it on automatic setting
GL
ok i have set it to this computer is connected to internet but it still says cannot cannot with current connection settings?
anyone got any ideas how i can connect my pocket5 pc to the internet using my desktop connection?
I am having a similar problem. my Windows Mobile 6 device works fine at home via Visa sync, or via Wifi. At work if I try to use activeSyn on Windows XP the sync part works fine, but I can't see the internet on the mobile device. On the palmtop I have tried the USB to PC advanced network functionality both on and off. I have also tried various suggestions on this thread, but not working.
any suggestions would be welcome

PRoblem short and sweet:
1 laptop running win xp
1 desktop running vista home premium
ATT 8525 running wm6 and rom ver 3.62.502.2
radio 1.54.07.00
Both machines update daily for updates.
So i use my ATT 8525 to do internet sharing, laptop connects and works great. I can even do some bit torrent downloading but it is slow
the desktop machine running vista will connect but the the internet sharing application on the phone will show a message "waiting on network" and vista will disconnect. problem happens in no apparent time frame and happens with all applications.
THis has happened on ATT 3g network and Tmobiles edge network so it has to be a vista problem. I know this is not a vista forum but hoping someone knows what the problem might be.
I've done alot of goggling and found nothing on this.
Thanks for reading. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
hm.. if i understand this correctly, you are trying to get both machines to connect to the phone at the same time? that will not happen because the internet sharing is only designed to share 1 at a time. i believe there is some router software for windows mobile that can get your connection from the phone to a broadcasted wifi. you can then connect as many machines as your device can support to the "router" ran by the phone. the tilt should be able to handle 10 clients.
another way would be to share your connection that is shared with the mobile.
mobile <-> laptop <-> desktop
connect the mobile sharing to the laptop and let the laptop share the connection with the desktop and connect the desktop with the laptop, not the phone. this will add significant latency but who cares if you want to use 3g data, its always slow. i cant think of any other way you can do this but give the second one a try first. its probably the cheapest to set up.
No, i am not trying to use both computers at the same time. i was just saying that it works on the xp machine no problem, it's the vista machine that is not working correctly.
Connecting with Vista...
Curious can you sync with the Vista machine... I suggest trying this (I have the opposite setup as you but had a similar problem... Desktop-XP Laptop-Vista)...
Under connection settings, USB to PC - there is a box that says "Enable advanced network functionality" I have to check and uncheck this when switching between the two...
For me (maybe different for you) I have to have the box checked on my laptop (Vista) but UNCHECKED for my desktop (XP)... not sure if this is tied to the OS or the hardware, but give it a shot. But this allows me to both sync and use Internet Sharing accordingly.
Hope it helps.

Well i have uncheck the ""Enable advanced network functionality" on the 8525 for my vista machine. So far I am staying connected even under heavy network load. We will just see how it goes.
Thanks KZIWarrior.
