Internet via bluetooth

Hey Guys,
I'm new to the PPC,where i just bought a K-Jam and installed activesync 4.1 on my laptop (winxp sp2).
i have also a bluetooth dongle (MSI) and it seems to be working fine with me, i can connect my kjam to the laptop to syncronize my data.
now when it comes to using the internet via my laptop, i'm lost
i've been reading all threats which confused me when setting up the connection and i'm still not able to work it.
please if anyone can help me step by step , i'll be thankfull
thanx in advance.

I have noted by Bluetooth experiences with connecting my Xda Exec to my Home PC internet connection. It took me over a weeks worth of shouting & frustration to get this working as I ended up falling down every pitfall you could fall down! :evil:
Anyway, take a look here:

all you need to do is discover your device and connect to the dial-up networking connection.....
once that's done it's just a matter of getting the correct phone number, username and password (if applicable).
In the US for T-Mobile the phone number is *99# and there is no user name or password.

dear underwurld
thinks for your fast response and for trying to help, not sure if the link is working at the moment , i've tried to open it several times.
lvlolvlo,
i donot think it can be that easy, i came across alot of threats were all about the activesync and ports and network connections , what made it more complicated.
any help..?

Oops sorry about that....
Missed a bloody 't' out try again:

Dear Underwurl,
i would like to thank u for these amazing information and references , however ( to tell u the truth) it is still confusing to me..
i thouhgt there might be any guidelines where i could go through steps
1-
2-
.
.
and so on...
i think i have no problem connecting my device to the laptop ( not through the dialup thing but through the activesync 4.1 and it says connected in both)
also all reference were talking about incoming ports and outgoings ones which doesnot exist in activesync4.2 ( i know it might exist on 3.8 ver)
1- if it is somehow connected to the activesync, are there anything to be configured for the proxy server , and how ( i'm using my office lan)??
2- when it says connected i try to open IE but all i get is page is under construction...what does that mean???
3- is it something related to the bluetooth (msi) driver or ghosted ports??
u c....i'm going randomly considering all these thoughts, which is confusing me alot...
will appreciate any help...

OK....
So, just to be clear:
Have you installed those nice WICOMM Bluetooth services installed on your PC?
Andy
PS
Do you have WiFi in your office???? Bin Bluetooth if you have!!!!!!!

yes, I installed the BT software that came with my BT dongle
it shows widcomm in my driver data
and no idonot have wifi in my office
what do u think?

while connected with my laptop via activesync, i checked the tcp/ip setting with pocket mechanic, it is showing a different ip address than the one in my laptop connection (LAN connection),
but showing a correct host name
and it says " Local area networks cannot directly communicate across wide area networks because they are defind by a private class of ip's"
any idea?????
when i open internet explorer on my kjam it says "page not found"

is it that difficult for you guys,
no one have gone through this before??

Using Internet Sharing

So I'm writing this from my PC using the Internet Sharing option of the X7500.
I'm going to explain how to use it but first off all I beg your pardon because since my ROM is in spanish I have no idea of the names of the programs and the messages that the WWE ROM gives so I'm translating the spanish messages and programs names into english. Apart of that eventualy my english goes nuts.
So...
First off all you need to have a plan to get data access on your X7500 on a reasonable price. I got Movistar (a company in Spain) that allows me to access using WSDPA where available per around 60 euros a month. If WSDPA is not avaible I can enter the net using UMTS or if not available I can still accessing using GPRS.
Hopefully in the village I'm on holidays (15000 people near Cadiz coast) I got WSDPA coverage.
Second thing. If you have Blackberry on the X7500 just use the Suspend option in order to avoid BB interfering with the Internet Sharing.
Third. If the PC has ActiveSync go into options and unmark the USB in order to avoid the AS connecting the X7500 using USB.
The PC running XP don't need any driver to use the connection.
1) With the X7500 NOT plugged to PC run the Internet Sharing program in the PDA.
2) You will find two combo-boxes. At the first one choose USB. I did the connectiong using BT too and works great but I prefer USB since looks more stable and is suitable to use in any PC even not having BT interface. At the second combo-box choose your profile to access the net. My is Movistar Access... is a name you gave while configuring the profile.
3) Still having the X7500 NOT plugged to the PC press the Connect which is the soft-key in the left side of the screen. You will see the PDA negotiating with the ISP.
4) Once connected then plug the USB cable and the XP will start to recognize the PDA as a Internet Sharing device. First time takes long XP to connect the PDA. As soon as you get the message that the new hardware is usable you can start using Internet Explorer in the PC to access the net thru the X7500.
At the PC in a MSDOS window I need to run a continous ping to a site in order to keep the connection alive. For sample ping -t www.google.com
Whatever the reason if I don't issue the ping the connection hangs if I keep on reading a web page for long time. I tried to find where this timeout is configured but I could. But with the ping to keep alive the connection works great.
In order to disconnect properly my advice is:
1) Close all PC programs running against Internet like Internet Explorer or the ping you are issuing.
2) Unplug the USB cable
3) Press the Disconnect soft-key in the PDA
Unplugging the cable before hitting Disconnect helps to avoid the XP seeing the PDA without the Internet Sharing running.
As I told I run the test using the Bluetooth PAN connection too and works great. My BT interface in the PC is a Concentronic CBTU2 (is USB not bigger that an USB key). And the BT software is IVT Corporation Bluesoleil but I guess any BT interface and software will do the job too.
I hope this is useful.
Best Regards,
mahjong
P.D.: If someone knows how to solve the timeout stuff let me know.

Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I've been wanting to try this for when I'm doing presentations and don't have an internet connection. Your English was just fine.

I've also been meaning to try this out, and your post prompted me to do so.
After I press the 'connect' softkey, the status changes to 'check usb cable'.
I then connect the usb cable, and the PC starts the Found New Hardware Wizard, which starts to search for Generic RNDIS drivers. It fails to find them, even using windows update.
And that's as far as I got....

Have you installed Activesync (XP) or WMDC (VIsta)?
Internet sharing uses the drivers from that to create the connection.

Problem solved, with the help of google.
I had activesync 3.8 on my laptop, upgrading to 4.5 has solved the problem, and it all works perfectly now.

mahjong,
What version of BBConnect are you using with your x7500? Did you have to cook your rom to make it work?
I have tried 2.1.2.52 and 4.0.0.67 but both show PIN: Pending and IMEI: Radio Off. I trying not to go through reflashing everything to make this work.
BTW, I'm from Asturias but living now in sunny caribbean.

I'm using 2.1.2.54 over WM5 SO 5.1.465 (15673.3.3.1). I installed BB 4 (don't remember the release) once and the X7500 went nuts so I should hard-reset. But 2.1.2.54 works stable for me for months. OK I forgot to mention I'm connecting to a BES server so is not Blackberry Professional. Mine is Blackberry Enterprise.

P.D.: Desde Asturias al Caribe... hmmm sales ganando en el tiempo pero perdiendo en todo lo demás... jejeje... I love Asturias

My PC runs XP, so... ActiveSync.

Networking over USB?

Hi!
Is it possible to connect a WM6 PDA via a PC to the internet (over the USB-cable)?
I need to debug an application, and therefore run tcpdump somewhere do examine the packets. If I could route networking over my PC this would be possible.
Thanks!

unless you turn it off then when the pda is connected to activesync it have access to the same network as the pc running activesync

if thats the case then,why have i just received a bill of £22 for mobile data usage,when my kaiser is connected to my pc via usb???am i doing something wrong??if so,what? i'm a novice when it comes to these matters!!lol

maybe you did it the other way... and your pc used your pda as a modem...
on my touch dual...
if you are using the Internet Sharing app, the comp/laptop uses the gprs/3g modem on your pda.
any other time... i think the pda uses the computer's connection by default.
There is a setting somewhere in "Settings" I think, cant remember the exact wording. Sorry... dont have me phone on me.

I welcome your comments,thanks 4 getting in touch.I spoke to 3 different tmobile customer service reps and only after the 3rd person was I any nearer in finding out why i'm being charged for mobile data.i had 1 tmobile CSR try and tell me that tmobile own the wireless network and also that tmobile make the handsets not htc,how ill informed was she???one also siad that if i didnt refresh the page on my pc,then gprs would kick in and that was the reason iwas being charged,they also said i should contact my broadband provider,when i challenged them that i tmobile should not be charging me for mobile data,for using my own broadband,only then did i get passed onto technical advisors.They suggested that i totally erase all gprs settings,of which i had already done the previous night,i then asked them to see if any charges were on my account for yesterday,surprise surprise i'd been charged £1.27,i told them that i had erased all gprs settings,so why were charges still showing up on my account??i was met with your wireless signal is not powerful enough,of which i said hogwash because my next door neighbour can connect from her house,so i cant see as to how my signal is too weak for me to connect my kaiser or wizard to.They have rescinded all charges,but i cant understand for the life of me,if i aint got gprs settings,how can i still be charged by tmobile for using my own home network???might need to call ghostbusters!!LOL

i've tried what you have suggested,but still not working,i added to my previous post,let me know what you think pls,as it is really mysterious

Internet Question?

I've got one question-can i use my HD2 as internet connect center
becouse i have one notebook which doesnt support wi-fi,so can i connect phone+notebook with usb cable and got an internet to my notebook ?

I'm pretty sure I saw that option when I plugged it into my pc - the Diamond had it for sure and I see no reason to take it out. I don't have my usb cable with me right now to check but take this as a very tentative "yes"

???
okey but how?
netbook is with vista OS

When you plug the phone in via USB, it gives you 3 options. The bottom one is "Internet Sharing", and it even says "Use phone as modem" beneath it.
Windows should just detect a USB modem and use it.

Yeah, only 2G I'm afraid.
But, to get the wifi you'd need either to find an unsecured wifi connection, or you'd need to know the passkey. Can't you just get a wifi usb dongle for your netbook?
Edit:
I know this is Hong Kong, and only posts to a few places so may be no good to you, but it gives an indication as to how cheap these things are...

Ah I see.
Ah well. Guess you'll be browsing on your phone then
In fairness, this is the first phone that I've actually enjoyed browsing on, so it's not really a hardship.

yes its true but my girlfriend has another words to say))

Hi Friend,
But I have a little problem with this step that you suggested. As expected, my Windows XP and another Windows Vista laptop does not detect the phone as a modem.
And so, I'm stuck at this stage. Could you suggest me, if there is some driver that I need to install?
Otherwise, my HTC HD2 and HTC Touch connect to active sync and windows device media center.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Mayur Dave.
