I have a specific reason I would like to use the wing as a router via dial-up. I used the dialup connection for my blackberry and I would like to do the same with the wing. I have searched all over but can't find out how to. I haven't figured out how to make the wing recognized as a modem in Windows. That is the main problem. I know the settings I should use. Just the modem problem. If anybody can help. Thanks
i know of a program that u can use to do it as wifi i think its called wifi router or something like that ill update later with the app and link if i remember its freeware

Hi all. I've connected the xda (with WLAN card) to an adhoc net at home and was able to browse the net/connect around (via broadband through a gateway comp). Now I want to hook it up with a laptop (doesn't have wifi) as a wireless adapter. How exactly do I connect the two? Is it by "wireless modem"? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.
Yep,
You need the driver & usbmodem_dialer. Lucky you I uploaded it a week ago to the ftp under usb_modem. It contains the inf for the laptop, the dialer & a document with the steps to follow
Regards, M
Hi. Thanks for the advice. But I'm not trying to dial GPRS as internet in the PPC is already provided by the SD WLAN card. I'm trying to connect the laptop w/ the PPC so that it can use the internet in the adhoc network. Can it work in the setup? Also, Im assuming that the "wireless modem" software in PPC has to be running? Thanks!
Just follow the document, including the start of the wireless modem program. I think it will work with wifi as well, haven't got a wifi card yet. Maybe Santa can arrange one.
Cheers, M
Well, I tried that and it didn't work. Error 777 or something. Can't connect. Thanks anyway. Seems that the whole thing is suited for GPRS connections. Tried several times on my laptop but it timed out.
Take a good look at the modem init-string. Sometimes I've to add a ,0
Done that (just add ,0 to the end of APN in the extra strings?) but still no go. I'm really confused now. Queried the modem and it seemed to respond just fine. As I'm not going to use the GPRS at all, what should I put in username, password and APN? Also, what about "preset GPRS" in wireless modem? Thanks.
Frankly I don't know, I'm a gprs user and hoped this could solve your problem. Maybe it's only for gprs usage. APN & user/password are usually for gprs & I only had errors in 600 range.
Regards, M
Well, seems that I've hit a brick wall here. Thanks for all the help anyway.
im still with you sekinoss - this woud be a cool thing to do.
As a semi literate PC user I get to go to a lot of poeples places and sort their pc problems (for my sins!)
I've a friend who isnt internet savvy and has a wireless setup for his wifes laptop downstairs and his own pc connecteed to a modem(!) upstairs. Hes non intenet savvy and I want to get windows updates etc for him for the upstairs pc which is generally not net connected. I'd love to just take my PPC there with a usb lead and use it to get him on broadband wireless upstairs and update his windows machine properly. (He usually doesnt bother with the windows updates as they 'take too long' on a modem. Hmm.) Surely this would be a cool use of the PPC - I can't understand that there seems to be no software/method to do this sort of thing.
Ah well! :?:
I currently have my wizard setup as a moden to feed my laptop internet via bluetooth and it seems to work quite well but my laptop does not have bluetooth so i am forced to use an adapter which is sort of a pain. is it possible to do something similar with wifi? i cant seem to make it work.
any help would be appreciated.
Derek
u would have to set up and Ad-Hoc connection between your wizard and laptop and set internet connection sharing over that connection.
is it possible to enable ICS on WM5? i looked through the options and i culod not see it. are there any programs out there that do it?
If someone could please tell me how to - or point me to a thread with instructions to teather my Mogul to my latop so I can use internet?..

Kinda new to the board so If you could send me a private message I might be able to find this again.. thanks
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?
I can't recall the name of that software that I read about some time ago that allowed to use the titan as a modem to reach the internet with a computer through activesync, without using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

What I use is PDANet. It's not free, but for me it is well worth the money. I use it for all of my connectivity when I am out of range of other means for my laptop. It does require that Activesync be active.
PDANet is fine. Try WMWiFiRouter.
if looking for a free solution...... then download a custom rom found here in titan upgrading.............and use Internet Connection Sharing ICS
PDAnet is the one I was looking for. I want to use it with an old PDA that doesn't have ICS.
Thanks!
Hi, Folks,
I was trying to connect a HTC TyTn II (Kaiser) to Internet over a bluetooth connection with a HTC Diamond, but no success...
First i tryed to connect using a DUN (Dial-up Network), but I don't know why, this dosn't work.
Second, i tryed to connect using the Internet Connection Share (ICS) on Diamond, but i don't found a way to join in a Bluetooh PAN with my Kaiser.
I've made a lot of searchs in this forum and the Google, but nothing that i found solves my problem.
In one of links/articles/wikis it tell me to use a Bluetooth Manager, but i don't have it.
Anyone has any idea to solve this problem?
Thx a lot! (and sorry about my english)
Try WmWifirouter. It essentially creates a P2P network over wifi. Was there a specific reason to use bluetooth?Im sure both devices have Wifi.
Hi,
I have the same problem too !

WMWiFiRouter does the job.

or icscontrol and set the private interface to BTPAN on the serving ppc
Don't forget to setup the connection as ad-hoc.
You won't be able to share the net in managed mode.
It is possible to share internet over bluetooth.

@ alpha2k
nice link. do you know if you can connect a PDA/Mobile through your PC's Broadband Connection? See my mini diagram below?
Mobile --- (through bluetooth)---> PC --(through WIFI/Cat5e) ---> Router ----> INTERNET
