When you connect the Wizard to a computer over BT, can you do all the same things that work over a USB connection? Like transfering files, syncing data, browse the internet through the computer?
kind of. You can browse the interent and such. However soem prgrams that connect to the PC, only work on cable. Remote AMP works on BT AS jsut fine. Howver I could not get Total Input to work over BT AS. I asked a question about this on this forums a while ago but I got no respons.

If I bought any bluetooth dongle... Like this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100M-BLUE-USB...9QQihZ005QQcategoryZ44999QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Would I be able to connect to my computers internet, which is not wireless? So I could go onto the Internet downstairs using my phone?
Also could I access my computers files from my phone when its connected? Would be great if I could listen to music files on my computer when connected.
I have one too
I use to do ativesync and it works pretty good.. you can use the internet but the signal strength is that strong but it might work.. i like it and with the files.. you can do it with AS but you can browse from ur phone to look at files on ur pc... It works only with AS tho
So if I connect with ActiveSync by bluetooth...
I can use file explorer on my phone to view files on my computer? (Or do you do it another way?)
Can I play the files from my computer too? Its really just for music and videos...
Hello all,
i am a newbie, so i am sorry if there is already a topic on this, as i have been searching and searching, and just cant seem to find anything that seems to directly help.
My laptop, connects to the net via an ethernet cable, and i would then like to connect to my laptop via wi-fi with my wizard.
I have managed to somehow create a ad-hoc connection to my laptop via wi-fi, which i believe is some kind of P2P thingy.
However i am unable to map a network drive in resco explorer, and everytime i go on to internet explorer i get a little message stating that the page can not be displayed.
am i missing something somewhere, or is this just not possiable.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not really sure that you can do this at least not the way i think you are trying to do it. I didn't think laptops could act as access points which is what you need. If your laptop has bluetooth then you could create a connection using it and map a drive from the Wizard to the laptop.

It can be done.
I did the same thing before, now i prefer to use bluetooth, but it definitly can be done.
first, i created an ad hoc connection between my wizard and the pc's belkini usb wifi adapter. then i mapped the shared folder on my laptop with total commander. i must say i had problems doing it with rescos explorer, maybe thats the catch. anyway, i was able to browse through my drive with no problems, mp3, small avi etc. it can be done!
and here goes the question to rkwhyte2: i'have been trying to acces my pc's shared folder using bluetooth active sync connection with no luck, how to do it? i've been looking for an answer since 2 months...

Sorry for butting in....
I don't know about accessing shared folder through BT, but after trying and trying AND trying, I was finally able to do an activesync through BT. The catch was to make sure PC has a BT "COM port" assigned. and then create partnership with PC's "Activesync" service (I had 3 listed..Dialup net,Activesync, and headset).
OOOOPS, almost forgot. make sure in Activesync settings that "Allow connections to one of the following" is set to the COM port assigned to BT.

You have had much better luck than I and the steps you have listed are pretty much all you need. My problem has always been getting the com ports that I needed. I am currently running Faria's aku3 ROM and it uses internet sharing and so uses bluetooth as a PAN. Makes life quite a bit easier all I had to do was tell the phone to use bluetooth PAN instead of USB and I was able to use map a drive between the phone and my PC.

yes, thats all right, thats exactly what i use. a bit tricky but still easy thing to do, thats why i didn't list the steps. so as i said i have activesync connection working both on usb and BT, i can use my pc's net connection while hooked to pc and so on and so on. the only thing is that i can acces my drive using Async usb, and i can'd using Async BT. question is why... i went even looking into bluetooth drivers settings on my pc, but no luck here... and since several weeks noone seems to know the answer...

I'm not exactly sure what PAN is, could you explain it please? is it personal area network? where do you set this?
Wifi Streaming - Strange Problem
I am hoping someone may have come across the same problem as me because I have searched this forum and have not seen anything like this.
I have been trying to access my Music stored on my main PC via the wireless router which is connected to it (Netgear DG834G V3). I am using Pocket Player 3.5 with the new upnp plugin. I am trying to connect my HTC Touch which can connect to the internet via the wifi router no problem and I can also look at shared folders in Pocket player through adding a network folder address. I can play files this way also but the directory structure of my hard disk is long winded and I just wanted to browse the traditional way by artist/album etc..
I have found that Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize the Touch as a Upnp device and when I try and Network share on pocket player nothing happens. I have also tried Resco Explorer and it cannot map the drives also.
Something I found strange though is that I also have a laptop which is also connected to my Wireless router and when I opened WMP11 on the laptop it shared the files on the Touch. I looked at all the Network/Firewall settings etc.. on both the main PC and the laptop and they were almost identical so I cannot understand why my main PC isn't allowing the connection. The only difference is that my PC is wired to the Netgear and the Laptop is connecting through wifi.
If I actually plug the Touch directly into my main PC via the USB cable and close down Active Sync the Touch can suddenly read the WMP11 content on the main PC (although it gives the Touch a different MAC Code) however it will loose it as soon as I disconnect the cable.
Can anyone help! Am I missing something really obvious?
Anybody can help me find Application with which I can use my TP2 with 8gb Card as Wifi Flash Drive like some iphone guys do
I'm using an app called "Wifi Remote Access."
You can read about it and/or download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586654
I mostly use this app to transfer new .cab's to my phone without having to pull the storage card or connect the USB cable, but it should work for your purposes as well.
