I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I cannot seem to find a definite answer. Is it possible to use a WM5 device to act as a wireless proxy server. I want to be able to adhoc a connection from my laptop to my phone and use the phone's internet connection for my laptop. Like bluetooth tethering but over wifi. I seen a article here. This seems to be kind of close to what I want to do.
hey,
i've searched through the forum and didnt find anything about this,
i'm trying to get my universal to network with my PC through BT so i could:
1. use SMB file sharing (e.g \\192.168.0.1\)
2. have the universal use my PC's internet connection.
i know this *screams* for WIFI, but it's not an option as i need to do it in my workplace, and im not allowed to have a wifi router there.
i managed to set up BT PAN through the internet sharing app, but then the uni uses the GPRS connection instead of the PC's.
i tried syncing with ActiveSync, and that DID gave me internet connection,
but i had problems sharing my drives, and connecting to other apps like msn, remote desktop, and probably anything other than HTTP.
Is there a way to set up a REAL network between my PC and uni with the MS BT stack?
The widcomm stack is not an option, sadly. It gives me problems answering calls while driving, or through my private headset...
anyone?
i really need this.
I'm not sure about file sharing, but I know you can set up internet access via BT. I've done it through another cellphone (3G), not a PC, but the key is to make sure that "connect to Internet" is set for BT as modem.
Also, on a related note, I know you can use the WM version of LogMeIn to access a PC... so, theoretically, you could BT to access the Internet, and then come back in on the Internet to access the PC.

Hi, is it possible to use the wifi connection on the phone to provide internet for a laptop or pc through the USB cable? Or does it have to be through bluetooth?
I don't get you... You wanna use "wifi connection on the phone to provide internet for a laptop or PC through USB cable?"
I think what you mean is whether it is possible to use the PDA as a modem to connect to the internet?
Yes it is. Please do a search for this as it has been asked over and over again.
1 + 2 = next question please
@benjdc
Yo, skip the WIKI, the SEARCH, the internet, ...freakin skipp it all and read your flippin MANUAL!
I think the question is, how to share an existing gprs/edge/3G connection on the pda with the pc and be able to browse simultaneously. Both on the pda and pc

Yes you can.
what i mean is, and i have searched multiple times, connect to a LAN using the wifi on the pda, to then share this connection down a usb cable to my non-wifi pc. I can use my gprs/3g, but this can costly/slow. seeing as im already paying for my broadband, i may as well use it. any polite responses greatly recieved...
whattayouknow??
this is exactly what i searched for and was the first post to browse..
i have a nice laptop but no wireless card
i can pick up my wifi connection through my hermes, but can i internet share via usb so my laptop can pick up the wifi connection?
if anyone wants to chime in, cool!
ill keep lookin an check back to see
Good Morning all. I have searched for days, not only this site, but many others, and as of yet, no appropriate solution. Hopefully someone more versed than me with the Wizard might help.
Here is the scenario....I am able to connect my HTC Wizard to the WiFi of my roommates router. He is connected to DSL 3.5 Mbps. On the Wizard I can surf the internet, no problem. I have a computer in my room, but it does not have a wifi card. I am wanting to use my Wizard to connect my computer to the internet via USB, using the connection (WiFi) that exists on my Wizard.
So far, I can connect to my computer through active sync and browse the files on my Wizard. I also am able to tether my Wizard to my computer via Internet Sharing on my EDGE connection. I do notice when I connect my Wizard that is connected to WiFi it shows a LAN connection in the taskbar at bottom right, however, when i try to navigate to any web page in internet explorer, google chrome, or firefox, it comes up with the error like I am not connected.
I know there is a simple fix for this, but I am frustrated and tired of searching to no avail. Thanks in advance many times over.
Hello
I have some problem and I need your help.
PC WinXp is connected to Internet via cable modem.
Now I want to make access to Internet via Wi-Fi (AD-HOC) from PC for HD2 device.

Further is for HD2 Android..I really want to access internet via AD-HOC.
After many hours browsing various forums I couldn’t find any good working solution.
Any help is highly appreciated.

is there anyone know this??
I've never seen a pc/laptop that transmits wifi. Seen ones that can receive it.

Well wireless adapters have to both send and receive so pretty much all computers with a wireless adapter can transmit.
Don't quite understand the question though, are you trying to set up your pc as an access point so you can access the internet on your hd2 by it going through your pc?
