Connecting to MSN via USB connection - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Hi,
Just got this phone and have connected it up to my laptop and find it really useful that it doubles up as internet connection. But whenever I am connected through the phone I cant seem to connect to MSN Messenger on my laptop. A search on google brought nothing up.
Anyone else had the same problems? Has anyone got a solution?!
Cheers!

wifi & active sync at the same time?

i'm very new to this kind of stuff so can someone plz tell me if i can use the wifi feature on my qtek to pick up a wireless internet connection and have the phone connected to the computer through activesync simultaneously? cus i can't seem to make it work. everytime i try to connect the phone to the computer through activesync after i have had the wireless internet connected, the activesync seems to disconnect me from the wireless connection. so im just wondering if i can connect those 2 connections at the same time or not?
no you can't, sorry
Activesync tears down the wifi connection and builds a new conection using you PCs networking. You can still access the intenet through you PC though.
thanks
thanks for the quick reply. yeah i know i can access the internet through PC connection but the problem is that my wireless adapter is broken so i want to have my qtek pick up the internet and then use activesync to transfer the internet connection back to my computer so i can go online on my PC, thats all. so there is no way we can work it around huh?

Using my wizard to use my PC's internet via USB

Topic
i tried searching, but i get too much junk in the search.
when i connect using wifi, my connection keeps getting dropped, so is there a way to do it with USB?
thanks
Yes, AS by default shares the Internet connection of the desktop.
but its not working for me, i can't connect to aim with it or use PIE.
thanks
probably have to turn your proxy setting off.

everytime i plug into active sync my phone gets an error like, ip address no defined or something.
thanks

I think it is quite a common problem, come on guys can we get a fix for this?
Some of my data for you to consider:
Desktop PC connected directly to a router, Wizard, Prophet & Blue Angel all connect to internet via usb.
Laptop wirelessly connected to the same router none of the PDA's connect.
Laptop connected wirelessly to a different router (at work) again none of the PDA's connect.
Is it something to do with a wireless protocol?
Laptop and Desktop have slighlty different frewall software but I think I disabled it all on the laptop & still no joy.
Anyone able to use USB and wireless connection to connect to the internet?
I did see a registry hack offered by Dell, it relates to 'LS???' or something, tried it, no joy.
Any suggestions?
Try bluetooth ActiveSync instead of USB
Not really a fix for the USB problem but I can now do ActiveSync and browse the net together.
I have had a bluetooth dongle for the laptop for 'years' but never used it with the PDA. After some trial & error (about 45 minutes, not bad for me) I can now do ActiveSync with Bluetooth AND have access to the net THROUGH the laptop.
Speed is not as good as WiFi but it does work.
I read a tutorial some months ago on MoDaCo about setting up AS with BT. Suggest a search if you can't set it up by trial & error.

Bluetooth Internet connection

Hello.
I have a question if anybody can help me.
I have a laptop connected to the internet. This laptop has built-in Bluetooth device. I also have a HTC touch dual phone.
I'd like to know, is there any possibility as the phone to use the laptop's internet connection via Bluetooth? (I mean, the phone to be connected to the computer via Bluetooth and using the computer's internet connection)
Thank you and any help is appreciated.
You could use a bluetooth activsync connection. (while connected via Activesync you should beable to access the internet.)
Could you please explain how to do it? I tried several times but did not work at all...
check this guide here - worked for me

Thank you. I will try today an seeif it is working for metoo... would be wonderful while Niki doesn't have WiFi...
I have a bluetooth activsync connection..when I use internet via bluetooth on my Touch Dual it works well, but after 10 minutes internet explorer says the connection is shut down, and i can't load web pages anymore.
But the connection with active sync is still up
It only works again if disconnect and connect again. Is this a Internet timeout or some..? Does someone know what to do about it.
Excuse me for my english
My problem is I dont even have internet connection when the device is connected to the PC via USB :-( Is there an option in activesync that you need to check to be able to do this?

Wizard WiFi Question

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.
