How can you use GPRS Internet from your O2 Exec/JASJAR on Laptop/Desktop computer?
I am guessing there should be a way through the wireless modem. Any ideas guys?
Activate the wireless modem, install the device as a modem on the computer.
Dial *99# with the computer..
Hi all
I just avtivated by wireless modem through similarly named app on Exec.
Then on laptop dialed *99# and all was looking well until Win XP laptop said registering computer on the network.
Then error message on Laptop said device wasn't functioning.
Whilst it was trying though the coloured lights on the wireless modem(exec) app were flashing away like merry.
That was entertaining enough but any clues as to where I'm going wrong?
Using a bluetooth dongle with IVT soleil on laptop.
Which works for activesync and headset.
Have stopped activesync on exec in order to get this far.

You have to install USB modem drivers for your Exec on your XP desktop. I don't know if the modem will work through bluetooth. I use USBmodem drivers with my Vario and it works perfectly. I don't know if you need to use different drivers for your Exec, but I will attach the ones that work with the Vario.

Try a soft reset (that worked setting up a mate's Universal with the same error), sounds like you have the modem installed and everything else set up.
Btw when his couldn't connect with that error, it couldnt connect to the network when not functioning as a modem anyway.
thank you for the modem driver for Universal! I really looking for it :wink:
this is about the best walkthrough i have ever read. so Koksie thanks if you wrote this....
anybody got any ideas when this error comes up when i go to start "4- Then in Programs, click on "Wireless Modem". With the Connection type on USB, click on "Start". " and i click start thie error "ERROR .... COME OPEN ERROR"
any ideas what that means?!
Jay
I did not write it myself, just found it and passed it on because it worked perfectly for me. I have no idea why it gives the error you mention. I think the walk through was found on this forum, perhaps try to find the thread and ask the question there? The person who posted this originally might perhaps know the answer. good luck!
I've tried this loads of times all I get is a COM OPEN ERROR on the XDA.. it did work once briefly then wont work again..

I had the same problem. In bluetooth settings delete all the outgoings port that you created. In my case it was port 8 for gprs....Now works¡¡
well thanks for the help.. lol although that doesn't sound to promising maybe i will take it back to o2?
arhh just saw dherrero's reply i may try thatl
jay
hey hey! great thanks for that works brillantly. now i just need to test my tomtom to see if he can stil connect to my GPS device:
Update
Koksie and Kevino most helpful.
I gave up on Bluetooth and got me USB cable out.
The USB modem connects and works well now.
I am not sure the "receive all incoming beams" tick is neccessary?
For O2 customers I found this which was quite useful for the USB Modem Connections settings on the Laptop/PC.

BTW I can connect for my emails but have to setup a new Email Account in Outlook to send using the O2 smtp server (smtp.o2.co.uk).
However I still can not get Internet Explorer to be able to browse on this GPRS connection, any ideas?

Well m8...as you bring this up...
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.
It seems to me tat this problem is only with o2 :?
I have also tried in the passed to make phones work with laptops an tomtom go's etc for the gprs connection usage and had no joy.... at first i thought it was the phones...tested with Nokias 6310i, 6230, 6230i, SE t630, w800, w900i, etc all running the latest firmware and 02 active settings and always connection errors.
In the meantime ALL the other networks like voda, t-mobile, orange etc work like a charm on the same setups.

I found streethawk out on the modaco forums and was wondering if is a viable option over hitchhiker. Anyone know anything about compatibility with wm5? Usability?
doesn't work for me just says "waiting on WCZ to be free" forever and doesn't show any networks. (or was it WSZ? i can't remember)

Mine said the same, couldnt be arsed to try to get it working. Hitchhiker works perfectly for me.
Doesn't work here also.
Too bad....looked like a nice little app
Hitchiker always crashes after it's found the network for me. On an O2 mini s.
On my Qtek 9100 HitchHiker behaves strangely also. It usually finds half the APs WiFiFoFum does, and it NEVER connects. Also, on exiting it borks the PDA, and I have to manually remove it from memory to get things going again.
Is there anyone with a Qtek 9100 out there who has HitchHiker actually working and can suggest a reliable operating procedure?
Also, are there any other wardriving (WITH connecting feature) which actually work?
Well, I haven't tried Streethawk but it's disappointing that won't work.
I've had hitchiker running just fine on my wizard, though. I didn't do anything special but I exit just fine and while I only connect at my house it's able to do that just fine. I'll try doing a comparison sometime of the two war-drivers and see how many networks each gives me.
Couldnt get Hitchiker to work on my Wizard. Get a message about and error and the program has to close. This happens just after it has found an access point and tries to connect.
i find that WiFiFoFum works good for me, version 0.3.3.3 i think, if you go for the nicer looking version 2 then you have to install .net compact framework version 2 as well. plus if you connect a GPS unit then you can try and triangulate the signal
WiFiFoFum is great, but only to scan for APs. It doesn't have a simple way to select one of them and connect to it - or am I missing something?

No it's true - really annoying in a multiple network area if you want to hit a specific AP.
Yes sorry i forgot that, it doesnt allow you to connect, but i did find that it logs AP even if they have only got the WEAKEST signal or you only see it for a split second so you can then go in search. if im bored i go looking for AP's using WiFiFoFum and then try to connect using a combo of 'PockLan' which allows you to ping and search a range of an IP subnet and also map a drive of a share (the mapping is abit flacky) otherwise i use RescoExplorer to map the drive bacause its good at it.
Does anyone try and connect while wardriving or are you just looking?
P.S i am still looking for a good BlueJacking software for windows mobil, for symbian there are loads of good one like BTEXPLORer and SMan
Anyone know any? apart from 'smurf'
when i end a call on my bluetooth headset the phone comes back on, is there a way to stop it from coming on. also does anyone know where i can find a good app for remote desktop OVER 3G. thanks
do a search youll find the WM6 rdp client i would find a link but im a bit busy right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298594&highlight=windows+vista+on+athena
i have download it and tried it but it does not let me enter in a port number, and i have more than 1 computer on my home network. the error message i get is "cannot connect. likely reasons are: 1.specified computer name or ip does not exitst. 2.a network error occurred while establishing the connection.
so i am not really sure what to do next. i tried a vnc client but i can make the screen small enough
thanks in advance
any one knows where I could get one? I tried downloading from Jupiter website... but they dont even provide trial license key (although they say it's 30day trial version, it installs but wont stays in disabled status)
or any other similar client...
I'm trying to log into corp network with first PEAP and secondary EAP-GTC auth...
any ideas anyone?

OAC file doesn't work on Xperia
HI, I have tried to install two sets of drivers on the phone. One of the drivers that I installed were on the OAC (Oddysey's) main website. The Other I downloaded from this forum. The first one keeps locating the wireless driver and remains in that status. The other one after installation says that the Wireless card is not present.
I have tried restarting the Phone a few time. Tried switching the Wireless lan on and of a few times but still but drivers switch to their orginal message. If the wireless Lan is on then both the drivers give the messages that adapter is disconnected.
I dont want ot us oddyssey but my work wifi network is being run with oddyssey. All the Nokia e-series phones connect by adding the MAC into the access points and SIP settings but mine cant. Can anyone help please.
Regards

This happens to me too. Does anyone know how to solve this? I wonder if this has anything to do with the "ARM" version of OAC malibu_23 posted.
I've used the following here at work. I don't use it much, but it did work. I discovered there wasn't really a great need for me to get into my wireless network at work on my phone.

malibu_23, Great!!!
Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.
