I'd like to be able to use my 3g internet connection from my laptop, via the x1. What's the best way to do that?
You can share your x1's data via usb or wifi.
For usb you simply go to |start|settings|connections|internet sharing| and set it up from there.
If you want to use your x1 as a wireless router then a program like wmwifirouter from www.wmwifirouter.com would do the job. It's a paid app, but well worth it.
I think v0.90 is freeware if you can find it.
Free 3G -> wifi sharing app:

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.

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?
This is perhaps a slightly obscure and probably impossible thing to do.
Basically, I want to be able to use the Alpine (xda2i) like a wireless modem/router, and browse internet from a PC. The laptop has wifi but not bluetooth. I don't want to use a USB connection.
Firstly, I would need to set-up an ad-hoc wifi connection between the laptop and the Alpine. I have been unsuccessful at this so far. Could I have some guidance please?
Then I need a program to bridge the wifi and GPRS connections. The "wireless modem" utility which came with the Alpine does this for USB, IR and bluetooth, but not for wifi. does such a program exist?
Thanks in advance,
its possible, however, primitive. You can get web access only (unless you want to add code to the gateway software to support your specific ports), and it requires a damn jvm as well as reconfiguration of the laptop every time you want to use it after having gone back to your old connection software. its more useful for two pda's, one which will always use the alpine as its web host. Anyway, check it out:

pretty easy to set up, I had it running in about 5 minutes, albet not very useful via my gprs connection. enjoy
HTC Polaris has included WLAN, so my Question can the Device can be used as a WLAN USB Stick, to connect the PC with the Internet (Router or Modem Connection).
My PC is far away from the Router so i dont want LAN Cable at all. Is WLAN possible via Mobile
Hmm... In theory it should work over ActiveSync/Windows Mmbile Device Center since WLAN is one adapter and AS/WMDC is another adapter.
But you'd need some kind of router software for polaris to route requests from AS/WMDC-Adapter over WLAN-Adapter to your internet modem or router.
Don't know if such software exists. I'm afraid you have to google for it by yourself.
WMWifiRouter
I have been testing WMWifiRouter and its great, the latest version 1.11 seems quite stable and I get a good connection speed considering its a mobile. Just make sure you are on an unlimited data plan otherwise you will soon clock up a nasty bill ;o)
Maybe it isn't so, but my understanding of the original question is that he wants to use the Cruise as a simple USB WiFi network card, while getting an internet access using an existing WiFi network. WMWifiRouter seems irrelevant for this task, and even if it can do it, you can probably get a WiFi card (either USB or PCI) for WMWifiRouter's price.
Bottom line - i don't know if this is possible, but even if it is, WiFi cards are too cheap today to make it attractive.
With the original rom it's possible to share web connection to a pc. So it seems really easy and possible to do it. Just connect your polaris to the web using wifi and then share the connection with a usb cable. That's all.

What app to share? Internetsharing share connection from cellula line only.
It was internet sharing. So if it's really not an option I don't no any. Cya
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.

My PC's wireless card has broke. I would like to connect the HTC to the PC via USB and use internet connection sharing, to share the phone's WiFi connection. NOT 3G.
The option isnt there to share the wireless connection, only the 3g, which I dont want to do as it's expensive. There is wireless in my home.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Try this: http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ it may help.
Same question, is there a freeware solution?
Try Android with Tethering
