I have my laptop connected to a router with a Linksys wireless connection. I use Ipass VPN to get through to my work e-mail.
When I install Activesync4.1 it stops me getting access in Ipass. I have tried all options I can find in this forum but with no luck.
Activesync itself works fine when installed.
I have checked with somebody else at work who uses AS with a wired connection and it works. This isn't an option for me.
Try to change your network binding setting, move your Wireless Connect to the top
you can do this by Control Panel > Network Connections > Advance(from the file menu bar) > Advanced Setting.
Hope this helps
I actually have a very similar issue with my MDA. Basically my laptop's onboard Wireless B/G cannot connect to the router when the MDA is connected. I tried your suggestion and now the MDA won't connect. Seems like it's one or the other
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? This is the only issue that I have with my device. Whenever I connect it, I lose my wireless internet on my laptop. If I'm on a wired network at the office, I lose internet access but can still access the intranet. Any advice would be appreciated.
This has nothing to do with wireless. Its the ActiveSync 4.x network install that is not done properly if you have a vpn client running
I had this too
Solution:
Once connected via activesync open network connections
There is a new network connection there then for the WM5 device
Open properties ans de-select all listed items except TCP/IP.
Worked for me
Thanks for the response. I had found your suggestion previously on another board and tried it without success. I'm suspicious that the issue may be the Dell networking control software on my laptop getting confused. As soon as I connect my device, my wireless automatically turned off like it's found another network. I was hoping someone else who's had this problem has been able to solve it. I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
Thielsa same with me. unchecking all boxes didn't work and I'm using an IBM laptop.
Did find something on a microsoft newsgroup and it seems to be a known problem that hasn't been fixed yet.
Not having activesync is the only downer for my wizard though quite a big one doing system restores all the time
not done any testing on this but I use 4.1 and vpn in via wirless.
Try establishing your vpn connection first and then launch outlook. Then connect the device to the pc (via cable).
From memory it seems to be the outlook bit that gets around the problem for me.
I've pretty much narrowed things down to the wireless connection control on my dell laptop. I've been able to get things to work fine now on my wired connection. I looked at the log from my wireless controller, and when I attach the Pocketpc device it reads a wired connection and turns off the wireless. I think that this is specific to laptops (dell only?) that have automatic wireless controllers. Hopefully someone will find a solution to this as it's the only 'bug' I have left on my device.
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.

With VMWare Fusion, setup VPN connection for the OS X host to connect through guest

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.
Hi,
I connect my laptops to the internet through a university LAN, with static IP adress.
When I wanted to connect my HD2 to the internet while on WinMo, it was pretty easy - i just had to do it through activesync, over USB.
However, on Android I am finding it really hard, because I have a few problems:
1. I can't get any wifi router to work over this LAN (and I know others can't too);
2. Ad-hoc isn't working on android, and I also couldn't get the patches here on xda to work;
3. I've tried Connectify (turn ad-hoc into ap/hotspot) but also it didn't work;
So I am running out of ideas. I have mobile carrier internet access, but of course i have limited bandwidth and trafic, and it would be much nicer to use my laptop's internet access.
Do you suggest any workaround for this situation? Is anyone working on some kind of "reverse tethering" usb solution for the Android, a la ActiveSync? Maybe I should keep trying to get ad-hoc to work?
Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I would like to keep my android build (i feel comfortable with sense) and changing to that build would help me with wifi tethering, but I am looking for something different... unless that build already supports ad-hoc networks. However, ad-hoc is so unpredictable that a different solution altogether would be best.
Luis
Any other ideas on this?

Try bridging your laptops wireless and wired lan connections under windows. That will make your hd2 as if it is connected directly to LAN. (Select both connections with CTRL and right click bridge)

Unfortunately, as I have stated before, I can't connect the HD2 to my laptop via wi-fi, because I can't get ad-hoc to work properly on the HD2. But thanks for your suggestion.

Did you try connectify in Access Point mode? (Connectify supports ad-hoc mode with every wifi chipset and real ap mode with some wifi chipsets)
Check: http://www.connectify.me/docs/supportedcards.html for AP mode compatible wifi chipsets and drivers.
You may get a cheap wifi card or usb wifi that is compatible with connectify ap mode.
Second solution: (Reverse usb tether method)
Another solution would be finding a Android build that has known working usb tether mode such as shubcraft 1.4c rmnet and connecting it to pc then bridging the usb and ethernet over a Linux computer. That will make the usb tether in reverse direction. You need a linux computer or a virtual machine with linux. Difficult but possible.
Follow these steps: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
Third solution: (Share internet over bluetooth)
You can try this one too: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1285 and http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=445 You need a bluetooth module with lan profile support on your pc. Should be cheap if not already integrated to your pc.
I haven't tested due to lack of time. Could you provide feedback?

Thanks for taking the time to help me with a thorough, well written reply
Fortunately, I managed to solve my problem with a variation of your first solution
I had tried Connectify before. On my (older) HP laptop, it only provided ad-hoc networking. But on my eee-pc, it was able to work on AP mode. However, I couldn't connect to it from any of my devices, Android, WinMo or even my other laptop (Win 7).
So I did a little more research to check if there were any other apps available that would take advantage of Win7's ability to more or less easily create a hot spot (based on its Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter) and I found this one: Virtual Router.
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
I absolutely recommend it!
It worked flawlessly on my eee-pc and I manage to connect to it my (other) win 7 laptop, a touch HD on winmo, and my touch hd2 on both android and winmo, without a single glitch. So now I am using my LAN's internet access on my HD2 on Android through wifi, without having to use a wifi router or establishing any ad-hoc networks.
So problem solved (for now)!
Thanks for your help anyway. I hope that others may also find this app useful.

Well thank YOU, now me and also the community has a reverse wifi tether solution for Android.

Hi to all
as i heave seen there is no solution for reverse tethering for android.
partial solution may be in using adb forward command and some sort of tunneling on windows.
What i think is that software on windows machine acts as tcp/ip tunnel and all packets are transfered to usb and on android device should run app that acts as other side of tunnel.
since im not software developer i wonder if someone might take a look at this type of solution for reverse tethering
please no solutions as buying router and similar.

Errr... no? Android is just linux, so you could do anything with it. It should be possible to tether using wifi, bluetooth or even usb.
I was reverse-tethering over bluetooth some time ago, cause I didn't have data plan.
Root your phone - most decent roms have ad-hoc support, so you could very easily share your internet connection from windows. I don't know about BT and USB on Windows. I think there are some PAN managers, so you will be able to create BT connection. Also I think there is usbnet driver for windows. But I don't know, whether it's possible to share internet to these two connections. It's all much easier on linux ;-)
i was thinking about sharing thru wifi and bt but when i activate ICS ip address changes and router at work doesn't like that...
using usb- i did find some reference about Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device and i got drivers but i can not figure out how to install them without messing adb.
my phone(lg gw620) is rooted and i do agree that on linux is easier but due to company policy i heave to use windows.
Have you tried conectify for your PC?

I'm not sure what do you mean. You connect your PC to a router using cable and want to share this connection to a phone using wifi, right? Then ICS shouldn't change your IP on router side (ethernet one) - AFAIK it set IP of interface you share *to*, not *from*. Modifying *from* connection doesn't have much, cause it would always broke your connection to the internet. Are you sure you share it in correct direction? ;-)

Humm.... so that's what the point of adhoc support on phone would be. I couldn't think of any reason my phone would need to pick up an adhoc connection
Ahh or maybe you have 192.168.0.* subnet in your work, ICS set same subnet on wifi side and this is your problem?
Also you could try to bridge these connections instead of doing "normal" sharing. It's easier and if your router doesn't do some MAC checks, this should work.
Isn't there are a easier way like we had on WM6. I am wanting to do it since ages and couldn't get through.

It's possible, but Widcomm bt stack is needed, microsoft's built-in can't do it.
Search for Widcomm bt software v 5.0.1.801- Logitech branded (doesn't ask for licence files and no "software expired" message). NOTE- Widcomm drivers are not WHQL certified.
I use BTPAN for my ancient laptop with WinXP and Xubuntu 10.04, no problems with connection
@gen_scheisskopf
bt pan does exactly same as ics would. problem is that firewall at work doesn't work with other IP address then ones assigned by dhcp. doing bridje of two networks messes up ip addresses and then firewall messes with me .
why is it so hard to achieve? windows limitation or android limitation? can we write software to behave like generic rndis (winmo device description)?

Both. As I said if you have some decent ROM and OS on your PC, then this is just few clicks. I have an Ubuntu, so I click on "create network", then my G1 detects it and connects without any problem. That's all. On Windows Vista you won't have DHCP server and good NAT capabilities. On WinXP you will have problems even with creating a network. On the other hand if you have stock Android on your device, you will get into problems too.

some time ago i heave found drivers for linux devices that in windows it is installed as network device. i need to find that again.(here they are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4438553&postcount=41)

Reverse thetering in windows is possible and easy...
but it may depend on some drivers from your phone manufacturer.
I am using a Motorola XT300 Spice.
To use a USB reverse tether (i.e. sharing the computer network, so I can connect the phone to the internet to sync emails or browse the app market when I don't have a data plan from my company or a wi-fi network available) with XT300:
On the XT300:
- enable USB debugging
- root your phone (z4root works on the xt300)
- connect the USB cable and connect the phone on the computer
- a menu window will appear, select the Motorola PC Tools option
On the computer (tested with Windows 7):
- wait for all Motorola driver's be installed
- a new network interface will be created. That is your phone
- on the network management right click on the network interface that you use to connect to the internet, select properties, advanced, mark the internet sharing checkbox and select the network interface that has been created for your phone to share the connection
On the XT300:
- open a terminal emulator and type the comands
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
That is it. You have access to the internet.
On the computer don't forget to create rules in your firewall and/or anti-virus program to permit network traffic between the computer and the phone.
It should be even easier on Linux computers, since newer kernels usually have netusb support enabled but it seems that Ubuntu has its netusb.ko driver or some other needed module broken. I could not enable it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 but I could do this on Ubuntu 8.04 and Centos 5.x
I don't know if other android manufacturers are shipping NDIS5 USB capable drivers. I suppose that all have drivers but the only one that I have is the XT300. A little fidling with USB configuration may be needed, since names and options and menu can vary.
If someone knows the steps needed to enable usbnet on Ubuntu 10.04 I would appreciate the help.

You can easily undo this by disabling the internet connection sharing on the PC?
Its already here. I use it a lot. It is a standard feature on HTC sense revolution in the rom I am using. The function appear whenever you connect to PC with usb cable. So...
I guess you just need a sense rom or maybe extract it from sense...
How can I get a desktop with out wifi to share it's network connection with a android device via USB?
This way I can update my phones apps, email etc while I am at work (No WIFI connection).
The "adb shell netcfg usb0 dhcp" dosen't do anything the terminal or command prompt just freezes.

I used it before on CM6 I think so it shouldn't matter what ROM you are using.
I haven't tried it in a while but it should still work.
