So what I would like to do is to plug my 3g to my netbook via bluetooh. on the netbook should run a software or something, so that i can use my 3 g as a modem and use the great abillity of umts.
is any1 out there who could help me?
thanks folks

I don't know about using Bluetooth, but if you plug it in via USB and select data sharing on the 3G, it works seemlessly.
Active Sync
This is how i am doing it:
I installed Active Sync 4.5 on my Notebook.
Whenever i connect my Touch 3G, the device is asking me, what i would like to do.
Active Sync, Drive or Internet Sharing
Chose internet Sharing and your Notebook will recognize a LAN connection on your USB port, receiving a IP adress from the HTC and can use the Internet routed over your HTC, this is it !
Hope i could help.

Tried this once. Worked quite well. But after switching of the software again I could not use my WiFi anymore... Result: Hardreset and some hours of re-setup my phone.

Hi all,
I live in a country where GPRS is very expensive to live with, however I have a DSL connection at home, and I would like to have a program that enables my wizard to connect to the internet via my PC DSL connection, that is, the wizard connects through BT to my PC, and I will browse the internet (in my wizard) using the DSL connection on my PC.
this will allow me to be around the house while surfing the intenet via a DSL connection.
could you tell me please if there is a program to do so? does Wireless modem utility enable this? I strongly prefer freeware cause I dont have a credit card (I dont have money also!! )
Regards
It does it out of the box. Plug in your USB cable and it will start ActiveSync and your Wizard will share the PC's net connection. You can also do it via Wi-Fi. I have a wireless router at home, and I can sit in the living room and browse the net at broadband speeds on my phone - neat!

If you are connected PPC to PC you always have possibility to have internet connection on PPC by wired connection USB, by Bluetooth or WiFi( with some tricks or new AS 4.2)
Your PPC will show the connection to your PC's DSL connection in the network status window if you tap on the signal strength indicator.
My MDA II shows it like this for example:
Thank you all,
You are very neat and helpful guys

I don't think you can ActiveSync over wi-fi. You can browse the net via your wi-fi router though.

No problem, did you get it to work?
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

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.
I'm searching like crazy but can't find a thing.
When I connect my HD2, I get to choose 3 modes. The last is to give free my internet connection the the connected PC. But then I can just choose my 3G connection and not the WLAN.
Is there a way to add WLAN as well? It means I would use my HD2 as a WLAN stick.
thx tomylee
go to startmenu->tools->wifi router
thx, but there i can choose only from cell connection or COM1
Am I right in thinking that you want to connect your phone to a Wireless network, and then use it as a modem for your PC?
If I am then I'm sorry, but this can't (currently) be done.
Best option? Get a Wifi dongle off eBay. They're dirt cheap - I saw one for less than £5!!
OK THX
strange that they block this
This is possible if you use WMWifirouer. http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/

You cannot use your phone as a wireless adapter (connect it to your PC and pick up a wireless signal)
You can connect your phone to your PC and use the 3G on your phone for a PC Internet connection (i use this on my laptop sometimes when i need proper access to Outlook)(this is 1 reason i don't have an iPhone)
You can set up your phone as a router (other PC/devices find it and use the phones 3G connection)
You can connect your phone to the PC, and get the phone to use your DSL (broadband) connection by default and NOT your phones 3G.

No it's not mate - you must have misread the question.

I think it can be done with WMWifiRouter, or their Feature description is false.
- Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa

Click to collapse
but unfortunately WMWifiRouter is not free, and as said before, there are some really cheap Wifi dongles on the Internet, much cheaper than WMWifiRouter and your HD2 together.
I tried WmWifiRouter before and it was able to do the wanted feature.
Just give it a try.

Yeah, I've been correct about this twice in a day, so that shows what I know

Please explain connecting phone to PC wi-fi to wi-fi (PC has Wi-Fi AP MB support) and using PC (connected to internet by ADSL modem) for internet sharing.
