Hi
i have a couple questions regarding internet access.
1. Is it possible to have gprs/3G internet access and share it to a pc via the X1's wireless card? I only have bluetooth and usb internet sharing option...
2. My sister has an usb 3G/HSPDA (7.2Mbps) internet access pen that uses a sim card and she conects it to her laptop to have mobile net with a 5GB monthly plan, she conects it to the pc via usb, the pc asks for the pin (dunno if it uses some username and password or not) and then the mobile company software has a conect button to get the internet access.
My question is, can i use that sim card on the X1 and use the X1 like that usb 3G pen? to have internet acces on the X1 and be able to share it to the laptop and benefit from the 5GB download plan (cause with my current sim card i only have a 100MB data tranfer plan, which sucks)
Thanks and sorry if this has been answered before
2. Yes you can. Works great

Hi.
For some reason, I can't operate it.
I get a 3g connection, I can use the internet on mobile device, everything look OK.
I try to do internet sharing, the pc connect (Via USB) to the device but nothing happened.
I noticed that when the internet sharing is disconnected, the windows mobile connection (on the PC ) have a 169.x.x.x IP and when I try the internet sharing it get NO IP!
Any idea ?
Thanks

Did you start the Program Internet Sharing on your Trinity? As fas as I remember you have to start it first and then plug in the USB ....
Hi there,
It does not work also for me since my operator does not allow internet sharing. I explain: my operator sells an unlimited internet access for pocket pc and an unlimited internet access for all devices. The unlimited access for PPC is far cheaper than the unlimited access since they say that you'll use less bandwith surfing on a pocket pc than on a laptop.
I took the unlimited access for PPC and of course when I try to share, i get an error starting the Sharing Program.
Any other method to share the access with a laptop?
Many thanks in advance

Hi guys!
I found a lot of programs to share the gprs conection via wifi (converting the hd on a hotspot) but I want to share not a gprs conection ,just the internet I get via usb activesync... I was not able to make this happen with any know program.
Someone know how this can be done?
"wmwifirouter" require a conection to be dialed/conected and don't take into account activesync one.
So in short you want to use your phone as a Wireless Access Point when connected to and accessing the Internet through the USB port of the computer?
I don't think it can be done, I don't think you can have WiFi and USB on at the same time.
EDIT: Just checked and it seems you can have both at the same time.
if u want to use the internet connection of your pc via wifi, u need no programs but i only have to configure properly the wifi network card on htc and enabling internet sharing on pc's wifi connection
Mustn't you rather activate the internet sharing on the phone ?
I am with the provider Orange in France.... and the internet sharing is normally forbidden. I would like to use the phone as a wifi access point without the usb.
Can Orange see that I have activated that internet sharing ?
I would also like to do this! Particularly at work. I can connect my phone to my work computer via activesync and check email etc. It would be great to be able to share this connection with my laptop via the "wm wifirouter" or another app. Please let us know if you discover a solution - I will also investigate.

Hello xda-devlopers,
I have been faced with a small dielemma, recently my wireless adapter for my desktop computer has broke! Now I know that my Diamond as an Internet Sharing Capability but only transmitts from my Service Provider that is Orange.
I get the same wi-fi signal to my phone as I normally did with my computer and I was wondering if there is any software/connection settings to allow me to use wifi signal off my phone to my desktop computer?
Thanks for reading!

As sarcastic as that one-line reply of a web link is, I don't think the OP wishes to use his Cell / mobile provider for internet.
If you read his question, he states that his wireless card DOES NOT WORK therefore WM wifi router is not a solution.
What the op seems to want is the ability to use his phone as a wireless card for his machine without wireless, to connect to a wireless network. Meaning that even with out a sim card inserted, he could join his PC to a wireless network.
If I find out how to do it, I'll post back.

Before posting such a nasty reply, you should check your facts.

# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
hello guys im new in this and i have a question...
If i connect my htc hd2 to my laptop via USB... will i have internet?
im in prepaid mode and when i try to join to my facebook without connecting my cellphone i cant open the facebook... but when i connect it to my laptop via USB i can join to everything...
CAn you guys help me please?
It's called tethering. It shares your phones internet with your computer/shares your computers internet with your phone.
so if i normally dont have internet on my phone.. but then i connect it to my laptop i will have internet on it?
Yes, but only if your laptop already has some kind of internet connection such as WiFi.
ooh nicee... very thanks for helping me..
I think there is some misleading information here:
Tethering is when you're accessing the internet on your PC using the HD2 internet connection and your HD2 data plan.
I think he is doing the opposite. He is being able to access the internet on his HD2 only when he is connected to his PC and is using the PC's internet connection. I think he does not have a data plan for his HD2 because he is on a pre-paid account.
Somebody correct me if this is totally wrong.
