Is it possible to make X1 as your wireless lan card in your computer?
Catch your local WiFi signal and estabilish a link
Navigatee a little (just to confirm )
Go to programs -> internet sharing and plug the USB cord
(I assume you have activesync and else already configured)
Im using Windows Mobility Center and using Windows Vista. Is that possible?

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?

I know that using Wmodem I can use the 8525 to connect my laptop to the internet through the Cingular data network.
But I have an old laptop that doesn't have an in-built wireless card.
Can I use the 8525 to connect my laptop to my home WiFi network ?
I guess no, there is no way to connect wifi card in tytn (TIACXWLN1) to PC, and also driver should be problem... maybe is a way to route internet throught NAT or somethink like that to USB port and Active sync with speciall program written for WM5/6, but I never heard about that.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have the Wizard function as a wifi-adapter in for instance Windows XP through USB, so you can hook up your phone to a usb port and Windows 'sees' it as a network device allowing you to set up a wireless connection through it.
Has anyone seen a tool for accomplishing this? I searched the forums, but did not find anything useful, mainly things about the wizard being unable to connect and stuff
Thanks in advance.
No...Internet Sharing is not available for WLAN adapter...

I didn't mean it that way, maybe I was a bit unclear What I meant was using the phone as something that shows up in "network connection" on the pc, i.e. a 'wireless network adapter'.
i am looking for the same answer may be
spone1 does not want to buy wifi card ..rather wizard has buitin wifi card.. can that card be used instead if PC and Wizard are connected via usb cable???
(Wizard has built in GPRS/EDGE Modem ..and it allows PC desktop to use that GRPS/EDGE modem for internet access )
wm5torage does similar
it captures the usb and turns the wizard card reader to a device like those multicard readers. Something that captures the wifi device on the wizard and introduces to a computer though usb like a wifi usb stick might be possible, as well as the camera as a webcam or any other device on the pda (as long as the device is not used by the os at all times). But some hacker should get interested in this I guess... I know which wifi wizard uses it should be tnet
would be a nice feature...they already have progs that let you use the camera was a webcam as well...even a wireless webcam...wm5torage does a good job of being a memory stick...wifi card would be interesting...
huh? which program lets you use thez camera wirelessly?
This question has also been answered in one of my articles - please DO follow the General forum, it's in there that I cross-post them.

no. he means using your phone as a wireless network card in your pc.
example :
-----------
you have 2 computers at home, one has a wireless network card the other does not.
you plug your phone into the pc without a network card. and connect to the wireless pc using your phone as a wireless network card.
not sharing internet between phone and pc or between 2 pda's.
using your pc to connect to other pc's, with your phone acting as a wireless network card.
basicly turning your PDA into a wireless USB network adapter....
This would be really usefull, and if someone knows a method please post it.
So that's what I say.
The "Internet Sharing" program in WM6 actually appears as a virtual network connection in host PC which provides gateway connection with a IP of 192.168.0.x (Just like using ICS). However it is available for GPRS connection only.
Well I know the MDA has the ability to use the program "modem link" but from what I can tell, the computer needs a driver for it to recognize the pda as a usb modem...any ideas?

You need the modemdriver for that. But also the internet connection to the wizard as a virtual modem gives only GPRS-internet, and not WIFI.

link for the modem driver...
I feel incredibly stupid right now...I didn't notice the driver was on the OEM disc...
EDIT: Just thought I'd share that using the wizard as a modem works like a charm! I'm on it now, and its actually pretty quick to load webpages, though it only connects at 230kbps (Still WAY faster than our regular dial up modems). Just dont try and download anything! :-D
No one know how to using wifi mobile as a USB WLAN adapter?
come on ,somebody help us
Hi all... I have a question: is there a way (a software, a trick....) to use my PDA as a wifi usb adaptor? i want to connect it to mt notebook and connect to a WLAN connected to internet...
i've found the thread with Pocket PC Proxy... do you think u can use it? hoìw can i charge the ip address of activesync?
i think PocketPCProxy uses bluetooth to transfer wifi network, double check it.
I believe this may help you (turns your phone into a wifi hotspot)

I think he refers not to using his phone to GET the internet through the WIFI card in his computer but to use his cell phone AS the WIFI card for his computer because he doesn't have a card.

Hi,
I am new to windows environment .
I want to access internet on HTC HD2 using my laptop’s internet connection.
My laptop is connected to the network and I access internet on it using the proxy which is configured in my browser’s configuration.
I can connect my HD2 using usb as well as wireless to my laptop by making wireless connection on my laptop as wireless router.
What additional configuration should be done on hd2 or xp so that I can update my weather updates using this link.

you can set in the activesync or windows mobile center settings, to enable the data connection in usb connect
I found a fix which made my internet connection through USB work:
- Open Registry Editor on your PC (Start/Run and type "regedit") and locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services.
- Right-click on the value list in the right site of window and choose New/DWORD value. Type the name "AllowLSP" and leave the value zero.
- Disconnect and connect your device and Pocket Internet Explorer (and all other applications) will start working.
thanks jawab for your reply.
i updated my registry in xp with the changes you suggested but no success.
i am able to connect to my laptop with usb as well as wireless. even i am able to get remote desktop on my hd2 but not internet.
can you please suggest something.
connecting thru activesync also doent help
regards

I'm sorry. For me I made the reg-change, connected the phone and wupti - there was internet through USB.
why not just connect your phone to your router via WiFi and use the internet that way? makes life a LOT easier
in my office my laptop is connected to wired network. there is no wireless
the only option for me to connect is using a USB connection or making my laptop as a wireless router.
both of them seem to be not working
