I have been searching for more than 3 hours for some kind of driver for my T-Mobile Dash, to use it as a GPRS/EDGE Modem. My iBook is an old G3 model, so even if I were willing to purchase Missing Sync (which I'm not, btw), my iBook is not supported, as it is not a G4 or better.
I am looking for a FREE driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger, specifically an "RNDIS" driver. I am not particularly looking for speculation. I believe I have the correct modem scripts, but I can't get my Mac to see the USB Modem. Yes, I have put my Dash into ICS mode. Yes, I am running Windows Mobile 6. Yes, I have all of the updates to OS X. Yes, I have tried searching the forums (this one, and several others). Yes, I have tried "Googling it", which produced much good information, but no solutions to my problem. Although my Dash is Bluetooth enabled, my iBook is not. Yes, I know I can add a USB Adapter. I may well do that in the near future. Right now, however, I'm just looking for an RNDIS USB driver for Mac OS X. I don't need Synchronization features, at the moment.
Anyone have any ideas??
Correction: Does anyone have any "good" ideas??
Thanks,

I just wanted to touch this and see if anyone had any information to help. My girlfriend has a new Pantech Duo and I would like to get USB tethering working for that. I did find a couple sites that may help (HowTo: USB Internet Sharing With Linux And Windows Mobile 6), but I don't know enough about the technology to feel comfortable trying it. Thanks.
I use my wizard as a modem sometimes just using Internet Sharing in my TNT Rom. You may be able to find a .cab for it. From there just use activesync/WMDC. I haven't tried it on activesync, only on WMDC.

download wmwifirouter by chainfire or the free trial of walkinghotspot (if your handset and mac have wifi), or a micro bluetooth dongle if not.

Pantech Duo doesn't have Wifi. That was my first attempt before I realized it didn't have it, because I'm using that solution with my Kaiser.
RE: bluetooth. I haven't had a lot of success with a reliable connection. I've tried with my Kaiser and successfully configured it, using it to connect three or four times from my house, but as soon as I went on the road, I couldn't get it to connect at all, using the same steps as before. I'm sure that's either karma or equipment smarter then operator, but I'm hoping for a USB solution for simplicity (theoretically) as well as the better data throughput.
SyncMate
Well, if you are using a Mac then here is what i used to do before I got Missing Sync.
For Syncing contacts and dates and such i used Eltima Softwares SyncMate. Runs pretty good and can be done using the USB cable. It also provides the option to do it over Wifi, which is faster. The Full version allows your to Sync even more stuff I believe.
For Syncing files, I simply paired my phone with my mac and transfered the mp3's, jpg's, etc.
Hope this helps,

Welcome to the hell which is created when you have a Mac and a WM device!
I have been mucking around with trying to get my internet connection shared with my MacBook pro for a couple of months. Here is what I have tried
- Bluetooth PAN - There is an issue with the MacBook Pro whereby the bluetooth PAN will produce incredibly bad latency issues rendering it useless
- Modem Scripts (Bluetooth)- Have never found one which would connect....I have tried a few
- Mobile Stream (USB) - Never managed to get a connection. The support team said that they had never seen the issues I sent in logs. They will investigate and hopefully resolve in future releases.
-PDAnet (Bluetooth)- It actually works! although it seems to hang the dialer process on the Mac periodically which requires a reboot to resolve
-Wifirouter - It works although it caused issues with access points in the office and drained the battery very quickly.....even when powered from the MAC it would empty the battery. Worked OK when using a mains charger.
-VMware Fusion to XP desktop (USB) - Works and works well however you can't provide (well i havent got it working) an internet connection to the Host Mac.
At the moment I am using the PDAnet 'solution' but I am always looking for something more reliable. A usb connection would be better and more reliable as there seems to be big issues on the Mac bluetooth environment.

Hell, I couldn't even find an RNDIS driver for windows (apart from installing ActiveSync) which is why I made the Linux post.
Yeah, OSX is *nix based, but I don't think you can use Linux packages on it, what I know about macs could be written on the back of a postage stamp though.
Regarding the VMWare solution, did you try enabling internet sharing for WinXP in the VMWare session (using a different IP to the one the Mac uses) and set the default gateway of the Mac to the IP of the XP machine in VMWare?
What I mean here is that the PPC shares the connection to the VMWare windows machine via USB and the VMWare windows shares the connection to the Mac via TCP/IP.
To be honest I never really played about with sharing the virtual machine with OSX too much. I was a bit put off with running fusion like that all the time as it sucks the life out of the battery when out and about.
Until a better solution is available I will stick with PDAnet. It does put me off windows mobile (slightly) moving forward. It would be interesting to see if the Bluetooth PAN connection works correctly without the latency issue on the diamond when it is available. If it worked properly it would be the best solution.

I was reading this thread and you gave me the idea which led me to a workable solution so I thought I'd share back. I'm in the same boat as many ppl with latest MBP which doesn't work well with BT PAN (slooooowwwww). I sort of needed Fusion anyway since I'm starting to write WPF apps and performance is terrible over RDP from OSX (different subject). Anyway, here are some keys to getting this to work:
1. Setup a private network (not bridged or nat)
2. Install activesync on guest and fire up 'Internet Sharing' from WM6 device and connect device to Mac with USB cable.
-at this point you should be able to get online from the guest OS through the mobile device as previous post indicates-
Here is where the fun starts:
3. Create an advanced network connection on the guest (accept incoming connections, aka VPN connection)
4. *IMPORTANT* Go to the TCP/IP settings for the advanced network connection and setup a range of IP addresses in the same subnet as the active interface attached to the WM6 device (run ipconfig to determine). Make sure that 'clients can request their own IP address' is unchecked. Make sure this range falls outside of the IP address assigned to the guest interface from the WM6 device.
5. On the host Mac, create a new VPN connection (PPP) and set the host to the private IP address assigned to the guest (again, you can determine that through running ipconfig on the client). *IMPORTANT* Go to the advanced settings for the VPN connection on the Mac and set the DNS to point to the IP address of the router of the guest WM6 device interface.
6. Connect to the VPN from the Mac host and you should be off and running.
It works flawlessly with very good speed (relatively speaking) over the 3g connection. To get online in a pinch, now I just need to fire up the guest (which takes just a couple of seconds from a saved state), connect my device via usb with internet sharing started, and then connect to the vpn from the Mac.
I've searched for related topics, but none are quite on point.
The following works for XP, but not for Vista, and I cannot figure out why.
(Note: I have the unlimited data plan, please use with caution if
you do not have the plan).
I am using AT&T as my carrier.
Using CeRegEditor, I performed the following on my Motorola Q 9h global device running WM 6.1, USB connector is connected from phone to PC:
1) changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings = "ForceCellConnection"
to "" and rebooted
2) In HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections,
changed ATT ICS and MEdia Net "ReadOnly" value from 1 to 0
On the phone itself, I then selected Start->Settings->Internet Sharing:
PC Connection = USB
Network Connection = MEdia Net
After issuing "Connect" on the phone, I have internet access when the phone
is connected via USB cable to the Windows XP PC, but not when connected via USB cable to the Vista PC.
====
I have tried Bluetooth instead of USB when connecting to Vista, to no avail.
I have tried to obtain a new IP address for the USB connection, to no avail.
I disabled Norton firewall, to no avail.
I disabled the wireless card I installed last year when my internet
connection was DSL with a wireless access point, to no avail.
The phone connects ("syncs") fine with both PCs. On XP, the application is called 'Microsoft ActiveSync', and on Vista, 'Windows Mobile Device Center'.
I appreciate any advice you have.
It should work. I am using Vista SP1 and a WM 6.1 cooked HP 614c. Even managed to use the data connection in a virtual machine running on the same system. As soon as you hit ´Connect´ the sync session gets disconnection (status in Device Center is disconnected). Then Vista should detect a new connection called Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. When running it for the first time, a driver will be installed. After that it detects a new network which you can setup using the Network Center. Did this happen in your case?
Hey duckyman, thanks for responding. I do see the 'Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device' on the Network and Sharing center, but the connection is listed as 'local'.
I did notice that once you hit 'connect' on the phone that the WM Device Center application on the PC lists the connection as no longer connected.
This is normal behavior, however, as the same thing happens on Win Xp with the corresponding 'Active Sync' application, and the XP connection works for me.
I think the problem is with Vista. I will try one more time with Bluetooth instead, I noticed that under 'Bluetooth Settinngs' on the phone that though I had enable bluetooth, I did not check the box "Allow other Bluetooth devices to see this phone".

It works perfect on Vista and win 7
Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to have internet access on HTC HERO using bluetooth or a sofware through a pc running xp or windows7. It will just be great!
you can use ICS (internet connection sharing) via WiFi. This is super easy on win7. Just create a new Ad-Hoc network and connect with your device. Don't forget to enable ICS in the adapter properties ofc.
Thanks! I'll try it.
the hero cannot detect ad-hoc networks, if you have windows 7, get connectify )connectify.me) and download it, make an infrastructure network and it will work fine
WildPuzzleROM_2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 on HTC Wildfire (NextG)
Installed HTC Sync to get drivers and then turned on USB Tethering.
Windows detects and installs HTC Remote NDIS NIC- no problems.
DHCP assigns IP, MASK, GW and DNS server (DNS server = GW IP)
But.. I cannot do Name resolution (nslookup) and cannot ping IP address of known servers (google). So PC shows as connected to the phone, but no Internet access.
However, Browser on the phone is working fine. Perhaps my carrier Tel$tra blocks Tethering? Questions: 1. can someone confirm if Telstra allows tethering on HTC. 2. Does tethering even work on stock HTC Wildfire (2.1)?
Tried this in WinXP 32bit, and Win 7 Pro 64bit- same issue.
Any ideas?
i've got the same issue while tried wifi tethering.
I didn't found a soluce so i could advise u to try "Pdanet" for free (usb tethering only)
have a look here in google (can't post link due to restriction of my account...)
u need to install pdanet on ur pc, and install the apk on ur device.
It runs really well
i can confirm that it is available with wildpuzzle on telstra
have you turned on usb debugging? menu,settings,applications,development,usb debugging.
all i have to do is mount with usb tethering and look in my lan settings, also you can use the wifi hotspot (tested fine).
Hi All, new here
I keep getting "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate.Try again later" error when trying to connect to my home PC through "Internet pass-through". "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off.
On the other hand, no such problem when connecting through "Internet pass-through" to my work PC. The phone connects to the PC and Internet with no problem.
I guess the differences are because of a different internet connection type in work and home. Not sure what the connection type at work, but my PC at home uses a VPN dial-up of type "L2TP IPSec VPN".
Is there anything I should configure in this connection to be able to connect to the internet?
Current OS is Android 2.2.1, stock ROM, no tweaks.
*BUMP*
Anyone..?
I think you need HTC Sync installed on your computer(s) before you can use them for internet pass-through on your Desire HD.
I had this problem too on one of my laptops and my work PC but installing HTC Sync did the trick. You can get it from the HTC website.
Of course, and I do have its latest version 3.0.5511 installed on my Home PC, but still not luck.
I know it seems dumb because I doubt you use it but check your windows firewall. I have had it cause problems for me when it reactivated itself, after not being turned on in over a year, when I turned off Symantec firewall. Take a look at least.

Yes, as mentioned in my first post - "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off."
I've disabled Symantec Firewall by right-clicking its task bar icon, and selecting "Disable Symantec Endpoint protection Small business Edition" -shouldn't this be enough?
[SOLVED] by Microsoft TCP/IP fix
I've downloaded the following TCP/IP fix from Microsoft, installed it on my Windows XP SP3, restarted my PC, connected my DHD, and that's it - "Internet pass-through" is now connecting successfully! with no additional configurations.
