I was able to connect to vista to sync ok using usb tool, but since I have changed my hdd (sent to htc for repair) I have set it up again but it does not work in the same way, now If I try to sync it won't unless I uncheck network connections in settings, and if I disconnect usb tool I dont get the modem in vista, I have to leave usb tool connected all the time, If I go into network settings and have it checked I get modem on vista side and if I uncheck network setting it starts to sync.
Does anybody know what I would remove in device manager to remove the drivers for the sync part so I can try to reinstall them so I can just use usb tool to sync ?
Cheers
Scott
Edit
Its works ok when I am connected to wifi network, so all good again
hi guys,
i have a big big problem - i cant sync normally my prophet. As I sync it via bluetooth oftenly it connects to the PC but there is no internet and browsing the phone options. The other and most bad problem is that the same is with the usb cable. even when I disconnect it it crashes the internet connection of the PC and I have to reset the network adapter everytime I disconect my phone. Oftenly I have to plug and unplug the cable to establish normal connection. I have the problem with different roms, using Vista 32x.. Please help .. I cant use my prohpet as it is supposed to
That's not really a problem its natural I have that same problem the PC is just trying to use your phone as a modem for internet access that's all. When connected to PC with your USB cable do you get internet access on your phone? if not you should configure manualy the phones network adapter when connected to active sync. It could work and we both got Vista 32 bit edition on Xp I don't get this disconnecting problem but if u wana sync only then uncheck the option in active sync Alow Data communications I think uncheck that option and your problem will go away ok but doing that ur PC won't share internet access with your Device ok hope you understand
I'm trying to use the factory installed Internet Sharing (not the new HTC Wifi Router, not WMWifirouter, just the regular factory installed Internet Sharing) to get internet access on my PC via USB (not Bluetooth).
I've spent hours and hours reading and trying different things but it still does not work. Can someone please explain the settings they used to get this to work?
Settings for Active Sync?
Settings for Network Connections on PC?
Settings on phone?
I have tried all possible combinations of settings and am absolutely STUMPED. I'd appreciate ANY help.
FYI: My PC's running XP
EDIT:
So, I got the Internet Sharing to work and just wanted to share what I learned in case it helps someone else. I'm using the HD with stock WM 6.1 and a PC running XP with Active Sync 4.5.
My problem was that even after applying all the correct settings, Internet Sharing was never able to establish a connection (it kept saying "check USB connection"). I noticed in my PC under My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager that there was an exclamation point beside the phone network adapter, so I updated/uninstalled/reinstalled the driver with no success. This driver is normally automatically installed when you first install Active Sync and create a partnership with your phone, so then I decided to uninstall and reinstall Active Sync and then created a new partnership with my phone (I didn't have to worry about losing any of my synced contacts, notes, calender, texts, etc because I also sync with Microsoft MyPhone, which I highly recommend). Afterwards, I disconnected my phone from the PC and closed Active Sync. Then I used the following settings/steps and Internet Sharing worked flawlessly.
Here are the settings I used:
-in Active Sync: unchecked "allow usb connection", unchecked "allow connections to one of the following", "this computer is connected to" set to automatic, checked "open active sync when my device connects", checked "allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
-in PC: disable Windows Firewall and all other 3rd party firewalls
-in PC internet explorer: set LAN settings to "automatically detect settings" (in Firefox under Tools>Options>Advanced>Network>Settings set to "auto detect")
-in phone: under Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC checked "Active Sync", unchecked "enable faster data synchronization", checked "ask me first about UBS connection type when I connect the device to the PC"
With these settings:
-connect your phone to PC (on phone, dialog box should appear showing Active Sync checked, USB unchecked, Internet Sharing unchecked)
-nothing should happen at this point
-then in phone, launch Internet Sharing, set PC Connection to "USB", set Network Connection to whatever data network your phone uses, then press "connect" (the status will change from "disconnected" to "check USB connection"); wait about 15-20 seconds while your PC reacts (it takes this long only the first time you connect because the PC is installing the appropriate drivers)
-the Internet Sharing status should change to "connected" and now you can use the internet on your PC through the data connection on your phone. So simple if everything works properly.
FYI:
-if you go back to PC under My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager you will see your phone network adapter (no longer with an exclamation point) called "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device"
-f you go to PC Network Connections you will see your new phone LAN connection
-if your phone falls asleep while connected, the internet connection does NOT get interrupted; I also received a text while it was connected with no problem
To Disconnect Internet Sharing:
-close all browsers, press disconnect on your phone, then unplug your phone from the PC
-you can now turn active sync back on by checking "allow usb connection" and turn your PC firewalls back on
Wow, sorry so long, hope it helps someone.

If your trying to do this at work, there is most likely a firewall setup so this wouldn't be possible unless your knew access codes etc for firewall
If this is with your home pc, when connecting pc to HD using usb you should automatically be presented with a synchronization screen from activesync for setting up a connection. Ensure you select 'allow wireless data connections on your device while it is connected to your computer' before finishing
And also :-
On the Touch HD
Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC
Check Activesync and uncheck "enable faster data synchronisation"
Spent a couple of hours trying to connect before I did this.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks guys for your responses.
I've already tried each one of those things. I'm at home with firewall disabled, have the correct boxes checked in Active Sync, have the correct connection settings on the phone, etc. I've tried all possible combinations.
When I go to My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager I even see the phone Network Adapter but it has an exclamation point beside it. So I try to update/uninstall/reinstall the driver and it still doesn't work. Do I need to manually install different USD Modem drivers?? This doesn't seem right because these drivers should automatically be installed when I installed Active Sync.
I'm gonna try to update everything e.g. xp service pack and uninstall/reinstall Active Sync, etc. Hopefully after all of that it will work.
Hi i have an HD2 and i want to use my internet connection from my pc with USB on the HD2 and this to Wifi...
So i put the usb cable on the hd2...set Active sync... now is can use the internet over my pc....
now i start wmwifirouter... click on usb to wifi
he is connected...but i cant get an internet acces over another device ill used over wifi....plz help... what i must set?
USB Mode Rndis and Active sync oder Rndis and Internet sharing?
On the PC what i must setting??? I have windows 7...
plz help!!
wmwifirouter is made for doing the other way around
unless your setting block this your phone will have the network connection of your pc when ever your phone is connected to activesync
if it don't then you need to make sure that your pc firewall or activesync don't block it
and that your phone is set to use my network connection rather then my isp
th problem is...if i set rndis my pc dont find the device via active sync...
i have the same problem.
Run wmwifirouter on your device and then connect it to your pc. you shouldn't need to run anything else.

Not working.i select rndis and first internet sharing...not working..second rndis active sync not working.
I have made a blog post about this issue and how to configure this mode properly. It is tricky when you don't have a guide. It works seamlessly and I have purchased wmwifirouter just to use this mode
