Hi,
Is there a way to share the PC internet connection with the Magic connected with the cable?
I'm in roaming now so i can't use the 3G conection...
Thanks
Setup an AP, or install a software AP on your windows XP/Vista/Linux, if not behind HTTP proxy.
Of course, you have to purchase Wifi router, or Wifi network interface card with software AP.

Is there a way to do this? I have the pda connected with usb and activesync and I want to share this connection over the ad-hoc wireless network I created on the pda. The best thing would be setting a dhcp server on the pda and a gateway. But a gateway would be enough for me i can set up the ips myself. So how do I set up a gateway on my htc-wizard windows mobile 5 pda?? Internet connection sharing from PDA basically with wifi or bluetooth when the pda is connected to internet with usb and activesync.
are you saying you want the PDA to act as a router?
I am having a seriously senior moment.....
I have a GPRS connection on my Hermes 300 running WM5 which connects to the internet OK, and I have a WIFI connection on it which connects to my home network OK. My home network also works through an ADSL wireless router / hub to connect to the internet.
How do I arrange my Hermes WIFI connection to access the internet via the ADSL router? my mind is totally blank on this
I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.
That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

Hi guys!
I've seen that there is no way to have PPPoE connection on windows mobile! It is absurd: there are tons of software and nobody wrote a program for PPPoE connection...
I have to use PPPoE with my wifi connection and the only one solution seems to change my wifi modem/router!
Any suggestion?
eh! Why do you need PPPoE on your phone? PPPoE (and A) is used by your router to ISP not you phone.
I'm not sure what you need so can you clarify this for me
Thanks Dave
Hi Dave!
My ISP gave me a wifi/ethernet modem without the possibility to set inside the PPPoE parameters needed for the internet connection. For this reason I have to create a PPPoE connection under windows.
I have an ethernet connection between my PC and the adsl modem: if I don't make PPPoE on my PC I can just access to the configuration panel of the modem with my browser... It's the same via wifi.
Without PPPoE on windows mobile I can't access to internet via wifi, but just via activesync (USB/Bluetooth).
Like Telecom Italia Alice service... simple solution (but not so elegant) is buy a router with WiFi and connect it to WiFi Modem then you can connect every device you want.

I still don't get it. you ISP gave you the router. When you plug this in can you not access the internet then?
I think you need to be talking to your ISP about issues with the router. You dont need to setup a PPPoE connection on your PC either this is still set on the router. The network card should pick a IP address from the router via DHCP and this is how they talk to each other. Same goes for your phone.
Who is your ISP and what router did they send you and we may be able to point you in the right direction
what you people dont realize that the dude needs to use ppoe dialer from his windows to establish the internet connection itsself...n while he has a wifi router he cant connect to the internet becuase of this crap old service type
Yea I'm with Telecom Italia Alice but my provider doesn't give me a modem/router with the possibility to set inside the PPPoE parameters! It is impossible to have dhcp with it too, but it is not a problem.
The PPPoE connection is not set inside the modem/router (Alice W-Gate)!
This situation is common for millions of user here in Italy, for all who use the modem/router provided by our ISP. I don't think that Telecom has anything fully customizable for my case...
Hi everyone,
I have Ideos X5 and I cannot connect to wireless internet shared by my PC. I share my computer's internet from network and sharing center using "Set up a new connection or network". Whatever securiy type I've chosen (none, wep, wpa) I cannot even see the shared connection in the wireless networks list on my phone. I can easly connect to wireless networks shared by access points or wireless modems but as I said I cannot connenct to the wireless connection shared by my PC. My PC uses ethernet cable to connect to internet.
Thanks in advance
Solved
I solved the problem with a third party wireless hotspot software instead of using windows' default wireless internet share method.
Can you explai who you did it?
Just searh for virtual router in google
The windows sharing doesnt create an AP (Acess Point) it creates an ad-hoc network, so in order to connect with you phone you have to use an software that creates an AP... one case of that software is: virtual router
