How to connect Laptop to internet?

I have a Dopod D810/HTC3600i and a Laptop running Vista Ultimate.
My phone has a GPRS and a HSPA connection. I am trying to connect the Laptop to the phone via bluetooth to connect it to the internet.
I'm hoping someone can point me to a setup guide. I am having trouble with comports and vista configuration mainly.

Simple.
1. Go to Internet Sharing on your Trinity, select Bluetooth PAN and your connection settings.
2. Single Left Click on the "Wireless" icon next to the clock on your taskbar. Click "Connect to a Network"
3. Click "Set up a connection or network" near the bottom of the new screem.
4. Scroll down to the last selection called "Connect to a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN)" and click Next.
5. You may have to click "Add" here to add your Trinity if you haven't paired them already. Pair them.
6. Click "Connect"
Give it about 5-10 seconds and you're golden.
I don't have DSL with me usually, so I use my cracked-screen Trinity with AT&T's 3G plan. Works GREAT. Downside: battery life can SUCK if you aren't charging, so keep a USB cable handy.

you can also use the usb cord to use the internet.
make sure you have active sync installed for the generic rndis driver.
plugin your trinity and find internet connection sharing on the phone. once you enable this, it should auto connect and allow you to browse the web.
a added bonus to the usb cable method is that it keeps the phone powered up and charged.

LAN over USB not working

Hi,
I have a HTC S710 (Vox) and a laptop with Ubuntu running on it.
When i connect the smartphone to my laptop with USB, it shows up as a Generic RNDIS device and connects.
If i run zaTelnet pro on the phone and SSH to the ip of my laptop (on the USB network device), i'm able to connect.
But when i put the same ip address in the address bar of Internet Explorer on my phone, it says i can't connect because my 'internet connection is not configured', i guess it wants to connect through wifi or something.
Btw: I have apache running on the laptop, so i want to get the webpage from my laptop on my phone through usb connection.
Thanks,
Rubberducky

Bump?
I've also restarted the apache server after i connected the phone, no difference.

settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
choose my hone network or something like that not being your isp
in the dropdown box's

Sorry to sound stupid, but i can't find connections->connections.
I've gone through all available items in the connections menu, but there's nothing with an 'advanced' option?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

well i don't own a vox
but all devices with wm i've used
i open the start menu
i click settings
i click the conections tab
i click connections icon
i click advanced tab
i click select networks button
and i get a window with the 2 dropdown buttons

Are you sure you're not talking about a pocket pc?

It's been a bit since I had my smartphone out (blackjack), but I think there are options for the connection in pocket ie. Check the menu and see.

I've unchecked the autodetect setting setting, changed the connection to Internet, Work, WAP, Secured WAP, none work...
Any other possibilities?

How can i change the connection sequence?

Hi @all,
how can i change the connection sequence in my hd2?
When i connect the usb-cable to my pc, the wifi is changed to off, but i would wifi is connected.
Please Help and sorry for my bad english.
Thx
Norbert

While your phone is in active sync mode (connected to your pc) your pc is sharing its internet connection with the phone so why would you want to have wifi still on?

On working station, the PC Internet connection is blocking, so i want the connection over wifi or gsm.

if you're using windows mobile device centre (I think the same options are there with the old activesync too), with the phone unplugged, choose 'mobile device settings' from the green screen, then 'connection settings'.
Check the 'Allow data connections on device when connected to PC'. The wifi connection should then persist when the phone is syncing
(edit): on the old activesync PC program, it's under File/Connection settings

Thank you, that's it

Internet Dropped When Connected with USB

Anytime I connect to my home (or work laptop) via USB, the internet no longer works. At work, I can understand this because of the proxy server, etc. Is there any way to always connect via my 3G connection and when connected via USB not to change the connection from 3G?

It's weird cos i have the same problem, but not all the time. When I flash my Miri rom's some seem to work over 3G when connect via USB, my latest one doesn't.
Now i dont sync my device to the PC anyway, so i use the power adapter and bluetooth, thus not having the issue. although I have never bothered to try and figure it out.

to force the data connection, try this
settings menu all settings connections connections - advanced tab,select network, and set the top drop down to the name of your data connection.
(if it already is, then.... ummm I dunno)

sorry but this did not work.

In activesync/WMDC, go to connection settings, and check "allow internet connections while connected" or something like this.
By default it cuts the other connections as the phone will get the net through activesync when it's connected.

this also did not work

On your phone:
Start > Tools > QuickGPS
Menu > Options
Turn off '"Download QuickGPS when connected to PC via ActiveSync".

this worked for me at home, but did not work for me at work (perhaps having something to do with the work proxy?) any ideas...?

Hello All,

Situation:
Laptop WinXp is connected to Internet via cable modem.

How can I at least connect WM6.5 using Laptop's Internet?
I have WM6.5 device (HD2) with no data plan. At home I can use wifi to connect to internet. However at work, I have ActiveSync 4.5 on laptop but It does not connect to Internet. I read somewhere that using ActiveSync WM device can use laptops internet, but I could not get it to work. Can anyone tell me how??
Intermittently with some setting change I was able to get internet only via Internet Explorer in HD2, and at one other time only in Opera, but never from any other Apps (like GoogleMaps, HD2 sense's Weather, etc). It could be when I tried InternetSharing on my laptop's WinXP's network connection to wireless Network or to LAN2 (LAN to Wireless or LAN to LAN2. LAN2 is automatically showing when my device is connected via ActiveSync). However I am back to zero now.
I wonder it has anything to do with Company's Firewall policies. On my laptop Firewall is turned off. But then I was not able to get this to work at home either.
I have the following settings on ActiveSync's "Connection Settings":
All six items checked.
3rd Item dropdown box has COM3 or DMA (could not figure out any difference).
4th item dropdown has Automatic or Work Network.
connected via USB cable.
Let me know what is it that I am missing??

Try changing the 4th item dropdown to "The Internet"
Try unchecking the "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
The 3rd item dropdown doesn't matter if you connect via USB.
Can someone figure out how to sync via WiFi?

Undoubtedly, technology problems hold you and your company back. That's not good for business and as such it's a great idea to get the problems fixed quickly. For several small companies, small business computer support isn't confined to one person within the company; rather, it is tech support that is called in.

I tried and that did not work. Is there any body who got this working, if not in company settings, what about in home settings??
