I have not gotten a straight answer from anyone on this matter. I cannot get a Quick GPS update when connected through the USB cable to my computer. I gives me a "annot connect.please try again later" error. I can connect through WIFI however. I thought the whole point of connecting throuht the USB cable was to use the internet connection from my computer.
Thanks, dhatw.

when i connect using wifi, my connection keeps getting dropped, so is there a way to do it with USB?

I think it is quite a common problem, come on guys can we get a fix for this?
Some of my data for you to consider:
Desktop PC connected directly to a router, Wizard, Prophet & Blue Angel all connect to internet via usb.
Laptop wirelessly connected to the same router none of the PDA's connect.
Laptop connected wirelessly to a different router (at work) again none of the PDA's connect.
Is it something to do with a wireless protocol?
Laptop and Desktop have slighlty different frewall software but I think I disabled it all on the laptop & still no joy.
Anyone able to use USB and wireless connection to connect to the internet?
I did see a registry hack offered by Dell, it relates to 'LS???' or something, tried it, no joy.
Any suggestions?
Try bluetooth ActiveSync instead of USB
Not really a fix for the USB problem but I can now do ActiveSync and browse the net together.
I have had a bluetooth dongle for the laptop for 'years' but never used it with the PDA. After some trial & error (about 45 minutes, not bad for me) I can now do ActiveSync with Bluetooth AND have access to the net THROUGH the laptop.
Speed is not as good as WiFi but it does work.
I read a tutorial some months ago on MoDaCo about setting up AS with BT. Suggest a search if you can't set it up by trial & error.
I upgraded my rom with shaps's 3.54b. I can connect to internet with phone, but it is impossible with usb cable to use it as modem.
When I try to use internet sharing it disconnect active sync and try to connect to 3g network. Sometime it can connect, but the pc cannot recognized the connection working. Any other times it cannot connect at all.
Looking for in system option on my pc i saw my phone as network device (windows mobile based device) and not like usb modem. Is it normal? Reading in other forum someone suggest me to install usb modem driver... where can i download the right driver?
Thanks
try resetting your phone before you connect it. Sometimes like you it'll connect but sometimes for me my phone says check usb connection. But i reset the phone and it works fine.
I'm having this problem since a while now, cant connect my Jamin ( Prophet ) to internet via usb. it gives me some network setting error on prophet. tried to disable usb to pc advance settings ... didn't worked ...
any help ??
If you're Prophet works anything like my Kaiser, then you do need to switch on the 'internet sharing' on your device, and set it to connect via usb.
If you can't connect to the internet via usb, have you considered connecting via bluetooth?
That probably won't help, but who knows...

I've never been able to connect to the internet through USB on my Kaiser, even using the internet sharing application. The computer finds the device, but never the proper drivers to make it work. I can make it share over BT or WiFi with no problems.

Thats interesting, Jay.
May I ask if you're using a relatively new computer? I'm using a quite expensive 3-4 month Windows Vista Laptop which never required me to download any drivers to connect my laptop to the internet via internet sharing.
What you can do is try searching online for suitable drivers to install according to your computer model and make.
But hey, even if you don't find the drivers you want, know that using internet sharing via 'bluetooth' and not 'USB' is the best option. The reason why I say this is because the internet connection on your device will literally drain your battery real quick. That means that if you're connecting your phone via USB, you cannot connect your device to be charged as there is only 1 USB slot.
Now with internet sharing via bluetooth, you can keep the bluetooth and internet on which also drains the battery, but at the same time keep your device charging.
I never use internet sharing via USB but only by Bluetooth.
I was trying to tether to my laptop today and it seems that my laptop does not see the USB connection. I set my phone to internet sharing and connection of usb and phone as modem I then press connect it goes out and connects to evdo then it says check usb cable connnection. I then plug into my usb cable. Nothing happens except my charging light comes on. I know my phone works as I just tried it out on my co-workers laptop same procedure same cable and it connects without issue. I just downloaded the wmodem.zip installed it same issue. I Also tried to connect it first before I go to internet sharing. It connects to active sync then I start the connection and active sync goes away but I get the same message on my phone "check usb cable connection".
Bluetooth?
I had the same problem with mine and the usb connection. I think it needs drivers. if you look in device manager you might see a device with out drivers. If your buddys works find out what driver it's using..
I just use bluetooth. it works great if you have it.
Figured it out. In my network connections window when my phone would connect it would appear here under LAN or high speed internet connection. but it was in a disabled state so I enabled it and works like a charm.
Thanks for everyones help!
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is any tethering app which will allow me to share my wifi internet trough phone via usb to my old computer?
I have Cm10 rom but if it will be neccessary I will change it even to stock because its very important for me. Thanks in advance for help.
The process is called reverse tethering. Did a google search and I think this should work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlelan.ReverseTether.Trial&hl=en
Hmm... I don't think you understood me well.
I will explain...
I have wifi internet in my house but i have not got a possibility to connect my router via cable with my computer which doesnt have wifi.
So I would like to use my phone as wifi adapter (via usb) to have internet on my computer.
U sure that this program is good for me?
Did you enebled usb tetherin?
I think it should be the same way if you were connect to 3G, just connect to wifi network and enable the native usb tethering feature.
