how to connect to internet(on windows xp pc) using gprs(from prophet) via bluetooth

hey all.
thx 4 all the help,advice n guides here.
i have a htc prophet n a windows xp laptop. heard that u can use gprs via bluetooth to connect to internet on pc.howd u do that.plz outline.

You're probably confused... You have to establish an activesync connection by bluetooth and then you'll have access to the web... Just like using the cable but slower...

and how do u setup the active bluetooth connection?

You just have to activate the 'modem link' on the PPC. In Vista at least, all I do is create a new modem connection using the bluetooth modem on the PPC and dial *99#. Pretty simple....

In some ROMs there is an Internet Sharing Option....just activate it, select Bluetooth PAN & connect to the device from PC

could some1 plz outline the steps for setting up the connection, coz all i hear is 'murmuring' ..plz,am still new to all this ppc stuff

Look at the Wiki - start at here's a hint: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_USBModem

Hello friends!
I spent about 2 days on my phone wondering and trying to get internet connection on my Prophet...So I did it!It's like this:
When you connect your Prophet via USB it will show you new connection....
Go to Start/Control Panel/Network Connections and than click on left side "Set up a home or a small office Network"...So when you finish the wizard,restart your computer (do not disconnect Prophet) and it will work...It was the only way for me to get Internet Connection...I hope I helped someone just like others helped me...Greetings!

can i use GPRS surf the internet with laptop(not with the phone), is there any setting in order to surf the web? thanks!

I think It's not worth it...In Slovenia,where I live,GPRS is at least 10times more expencive than tipycal cable NET...Some of my friends tryed to connect laptop to NET by smartphone,but the speed in really low and also phone bill was shocking...So get standard internet...Greetings!

Niki internet USB connections

I have seen there's no way to connect Niki to Internet through USB connection. I have read as much as I could but didn't find any solution.
Any experience?
Thanks.

if you mean to use the shared
internet connecting from a pc.
then u only have to configure
the internet connection sharing
in windows.
in niki you have to enable the advanced
network settings.
then it should work.

actually
i did it in one minute just opening the shared internet conection. activesync turns off by itself and the pc recognize the internet conection
one minute and way to go.
i didnt even touch the pc config.
windows xp
let us know if u made it.

Thanks Valvarin and erkv.
I have tried both and no results. I have Windows Vista, probably the problem.
Activated Internet Sharing connection in pc and no results.
Thanks...and wait if you tried any other way.
Regards.

I've tested XP and works...How to configure VIsta?
Regards.

Solved....i've made a hard reset and "voilá" everythings OK
Anyway, thanks...
Regards.

I only get internet connection if I disable advance network settings. May I know where you can configure the internet connection settings in windows? Is it within activesync or is there something else ive missed out?

Heres a screen shot of my setup. The IP address is wrong.
I have tested shutting off my firewall and anti virus but still the same result.

Touch HD's HSDPA Connection As Internet ?

We just had a power failure here but thankfully it's up.
But during that time, I couldn't work out how to use the Touch HD's internet connection to connect to the internet via my notebook computer's Bluetooth.
The only thing I could do was use the Touch HD as a modem to dial up but that's not what I wanted.
Any thoughts?

is it vista or windows xp? i use vista and managed to both sync and get internet via using bluetooth.

Vista Home Premium SP1.
I'm sure it's possible but it's not exactly clear what you have to do to make it work !

connecting laptop

Anyone help me with this.
I've got a touch which I can connect to the net by using wifi or gprs without any problems.
What I'm trying to do is connect my laptop to the touch and then connect to the net through gprs when there isnt a wifi connection avaliable.
This must be possible but I really havn't got a clue where to start.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be a great help.

If you are using the Onyx ROM.
There is this software called ' Internet Sharing ' in the programs.
