HI i have a isp that requires PPoE protection and i cant connect to the wifi with my phone is there a solution or way or maybe an app or something else that i can do to connect and browse with my phone ???
the type of connecton is not relevant, the wifi is handled thru your router and is separate to your internet connection
what happens when you try connecting your phone to your router?
it doesnt get an ip and then it loses the ruter then finds it again and trys to connect and thats over and over and never stops,same on windows 6.5
my ruter Scientific Atlanta Webstar epc 2434
and for my pc when i want to connect to my ruter i have to use broadband connection that uses a username and paswrod without that i cant connect there either
anyone?????????????

I have a similar setup with the addition of a Modem & my wifi router's model is different...Depending on ur modem/wifi router options, u should configure it to auto-login & connect to your Internet whenever its switched on....Leaving other devices to just connect n browse....

Yea Yea, i got u d first time man...Here's my ISP's default method of connecting to the internet....Hweva i did away with such processes by purchasing a Modem/Wifi router with OPTIONS to have my "username" & "password" automatically stored, entered & have me logged on...all done by just powering up the wifi router, no help from my pc or any other device....
U get me now?
Looks to me like you have a modem not a wireless router. If so and you have wireless on your PC you can bridge the connections. The info they tell you to setup could also be set inside a router if you had one. If you do have a router you may be in bridge mode also.

SO my answer is i have a ruter and if you know how to do it then please tell me im desperate cause i have to go out in a restoran or super market just to download an app (for example asphalt 6 wich is realy big),thats ok if i already didnt have a wifi at home
if you know how please HELP
you cant o na phone, by the soudsn they are making a conenction via the modem rather than the modem making it directly and then sharing via the router

Can't say how much seeing as we are in different countries...Try to browse d available options present in your wireless router (download d manual if u've lost d original)...If your router doesn't support such a feature? then u'll have 2 go out n buy one preferably thru ur ISP...So ring them first..
Also, u can avoid buying anything if u simply connect ur pc to the internet thru cable and then setup ur pc as a wifi hotspot....(same thing we do wit data connection on our devices) dat way u login on ur pc, then share the connection wirelessly to your device....

My connection setup is exactley like yours,but i dont have that kind of a ruter and i didnt bought my ruter i got it from my isp and i calld them many times and they say its not possible to connect over a phone but they are realy stupid and i dont belive them and i thot that i give it a go at xda cause here peope are realy smart
and one more thing that sharing my connection is ok, if that mines that i will finaly have net on my phone you know how to do it? here is my gear:
Scientific Atlante WebStar epc 2434
D-link wi-fi USB b/g adapter (with wich im connected right now)
Windows 7 64x
and a Simple LAN or ethernet cable
is it possible? And how?
anyone????????
are you permantly conencted to the internet or is it like a dial up conenction where you have to dial in each time you want to access the net?
Just had a read of your manual. Its a cable modem, and should configure like any other, but (and here's the strange part) the process of supplying a user/pass is normally associated with adsl broadband, not cable.
With an adsl router/modem you would be able to apply the user/pass (and select ppoe) within the router itself, just once when it gets set up, meaning no need for each device to supply anything, they would "just work", but you apparently have a coax cable,,,,, so, ,, ummmmm, , anyone?
You either need a cable router or you'll have to set your PC as a wirelesses hotspots, leave it on. Set your PC to autoconect if possible and bridge both wireless and modem connections. You also might need to ensure dhcp is on on the PC.
Cable modem is no good. Router needs ppoe which is point to point over Ethernet if you go that way. A router will have more than one Ethernet port.

Its strange to me and i must say even with wifi on my pc first i have to connect to my ruter and then to make a broadband pppoe connection and dial it up each time i turn my pc,as for the option to enter the user and pass into my ruter i dont know how to do it i even cannt acces the ruters settings via the ip adress and my ruter has 4 Ethernet ports,and one usb port and wfi?If i cant do anything then there is only left to share my pc's connection,if thats the only option i woud kindly ask a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it,please i jus wana download apps from android market
yea sorry when i said 'its a cable modem', i meant its a cable modem/router, meaning it gets its input through a coax rather than a phone line, which is why its hard to tell you how to fix it.
Either you have some odd dialup cable, or theres something else i'm not seeing. Who's your broadband provider?
edit - oh wait, is THIS it? in which case, you should be able to log into it somehow. Id be stunned to find something like that can't handle a dialup connection itself.
giving the manual a good read would be the best start.
i dont now either but my isp is IPKO its from slovenia
note: im not from slovenia or live there
and wich ruter shoud i by with that remeber user/pass option (the cheapest)
of i forgot thats my ruter
Edit 2: i read my manual and i didnt get anything usefu? and here is another one

When I want to use wifi on my laptop i have to connect it to my router and then connect it to brodband ( maybe it isn't brodband but I don't the word). Can i do that on Jade, i have no problems connecting to router but then i don't no what to do. If you don't no what to do I'll keep stealing internet from my neighbors and you will be guilty because you didn't help them . Sorry for bad english.

If you can connect your laptop to your wireless router , you surely can connect your Jade exactly the same. Just key in the same setting parameters. Why do you have to use your neighbours network.
The problem isn't that i can't connect to my router.When i connect my computer to the wireless router i can't just use internet but i must enter a user name and a password for something. Does anybody now how to do this on Jade.

What's normally done is - let the router do the auto (and continuous) connection to the internet, by setting username and password on the router. Then control the connection to the wireless (security enable) by a different username and WEP key. So when you're connected to the wireless, you're already connected to the internet.
I understand what are you trying to say but how do i do it?

Well, you have to be more helpful with your questions...
First.. you have to make your router to connect automatically to the internet ?
This depends on the router make and model. You obviously will have to follow the setup instruction in the manual of the router model...
I did it, thank you for your help.
I spent 3 hours trying to get this work on my HD2 but it just CANT connect to my laptop. They can find the ad-hoc network but never successfully connected. All i wanna do is to share my ADSL to the HD2.
Somebody help plz?? Thanks in advance!~
It seems HD2 does not choose channels. So it very often happens that the channels it uses for WiFi router are already used by some other, much stronger source (routers). For example I can connect to my HD2 at work .. but not at home, because there is conflict with my home router.

Oh I see .. I thought the other way around.
Will try and report later.
Eh .. could not make it work ..
Hi,
I had the same problem. Try to disable wifi N (search for 11nenable key in the registry and change the value to 1).
it works for me (i had no value in this key)

in activesync there is a setting that allows you to do this very thing, yes it does mean you have the cable connected but hey whats the issue with that !!
it could possibly work the way you want it too but you will have to setup your laptop to be a GATEWAY FOR OTHER DEVICES FIRST !
I supposed you did enable internet connection sharing on your laptop, right? Otherwise you may create a ad-hoc network but you won't connect to Internet with your phone
I'm searching like crazy but can't find a thing.
When I connect my HD2, I get to choose 3 modes. The last is to give free my internet connection the the connected PC. But then I can just choose my 3G connection and not the WLAN.
Is there a way to add WLAN as well? It means I would use my HD2 as a WLAN stick.
thx tomylee
go to startmenu->tools->wifi router
thx, but there i can choose only from cell connection or COM1
Am I right in thinking that you want to connect your phone to a Wireless network, and then use it as a modem for your PC?
If I am then I'm sorry, but this can't (currently) be done.
Best option? Get a Wifi dongle off eBay. They're dirt cheap - I saw one for less than £5!!
OK THX
strange that they block this
This is possible if you use WMWifirouer. http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/

You cannot use your phone as a wireless adapter (connect it to your PC and pick up a wireless signal)
You can connect your phone to your PC and use the 3G on your phone for a PC Internet connection (i use this on my laptop sometimes when i need proper access to Outlook)(this is 1 reason i don't have an iPhone)
You can set up your phone as a router (other PC/devices find it and use the phones 3G connection)
You can connect your phone to the PC, and get the phone to use your DSL (broadband) connection by default and NOT your phones 3G.

I think it can be done with WMWifiRouter, or their Feature description is false.
- Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa

but unfortunately WMWifiRouter is not free, and as said before, there are some really cheap Wifi dongles on the Internet, much cheaper than WMWifiRouter and your HD2 together.
I tried WmWifiRouter before and it was able to do the wanted feature.
Just give it a try.

Please explain connecting phone to PC wi-fi to wi-fi (PC has Wi-Fi AP MB support) and using PC (connected to internet by ADSL modem) for internet sharing.
If you want to set up a remote desktop from your HD2 to your laptop through WiFi, using NO ROUTER and NO INTERNET connection, you easily can. What will you use it for and why? It is up to you.. but it can come in handy considering this can be done anywhere as long as you have your laptop and your HD2 with you. This is how:
-Download 'Connectify' here and install it on your laptop
-connectify1.png: 1) The name of the WiFi-connetion that you will connect to from your phone2) Password (not needed, but if you choose none, anyone with a WiFi device can connect to your WiFi 3) Select your Wireless Network Connection4) Start the WiFi router (after this, connect to the WiFi network on your HD2!)
-connectify2.png: 5) and 6) Open your 'Network and Sharing Center' by clicking the link the image shows
-connectify3.png: Follow 7)
-connectify4.png: Follow 8)
-connectify5.png: 9) Write down this number
-RemoteDesktop1.jpg: You have connected to your new Wireless network on the HD2
-RemoteDesktop2.jpg: Open 'Remote Desktop' on your HD2 in [START] -> [Tools] -> [Remote Desktop], in the first field, fill in the 'IP'-address that you found in step 9) in 'connectify5.png'. In the second and third field, fill in the username and password for your laptop (the user-account you use to login to windows)
-RemoteDesktop3.jpg: Settings for your remote desktop.. choose as you please
--> Press 'Connect' and you're good to go!
REMEMBER THAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK WHEN YOU'RE IN THE WiFi RANGE OF YOUR COMPUTER!
Thanks to Leftkats for the solution:

Original post:
Hi,
I'm really having a hard time understanding how to connect to my Windows7 Pro-based laptop through WiFi with my HD2.
1) I don't understand how to set up a WiFi connection and if I'm supposed to find it on my HD2 and connect to it before trying the remote desktop connection
2) I don't understand how to set up a WiFi connection on my laptop that can be found from my phone
3) I don't understand how to find the IP (or any other settings like ports) that should be used trying to connect to the laptop from remote desktop on my HD2.
(I've read this: http://www.windowstalk.org/2009/10/how-to-find-your-computer-ip-address-in-windows-7/ ..but did not come as far as to details, no kidding perhaps when I can't even set up a connection).
Anyone willing to give me a detailed guide, from first click to last, on my laptop and HD2? Please treat me like a 3yr-old when explaining.... /:
//Bear in mind that I have used the whole night searching for a guide on the net and the forums.. but none take me there from the absolute step one. Most of them just say "fill in the information and you're GO! " /:

Ok so first I'm presuming you have a wireless network, dont no if it can be done without one (correct me if im wrong folks) so im on xp so might be different on 7 but nearly the same i guess
so have your pc and you're phone both running from the wifi
then on your pc go to my computer, right click and open properties, you wanna be on system properties by now and look for Remote, you wanna allow remote assistance and allows users to connect remotely,
then fire up RD on your HD2, where it says computer thats where the ip of the oc goes, you can look it up by clicking the network icon in the desktop of the pc, should be something like 192.168.x.x type that in you're phone (computer section in remote desktop)
the username is the same username as your pc is called or youre account
then click connect have a go if you need more help just reply mate
EDIT I will take some screen shots for you

I don't have a wireless network. I have a laptop with WiFi set to 'ON', and my HD2's WiFi set to 'ON'.. not router or anything like that.
I'm also using a Mobile Internet for my internet, so that connection comes up in my network and sharing centre as connected, and the IP is not standard like 192.168.0.x..
You'd think it would be possible to just connect the bastards like good old bluetooth.. well, wish at least.
I have allowed remote desktop in the settings of my laptop.
I believe the main issue here is setting up a WiFi network that I can connect to from my phone /:
ok so let me gey this right,
you wanna connect via Remote desktop to the laptop and you have no router?
Why?
Remote desktop allows you to view your computet on youre phone,

Ok gothcya, then all you should have to do is have your laptop connected to the net, open Remote desktop on your phone and where it says computer type in your ip address from your laptop, type your username which should match the same as the laptop, and you may need a password on you're win 7 account might not though,
You're ip address can be found here http://www.whatsmyip.org/ on this site it will tell you you're IP address that's what goes in the computer bit in remote desktop mobile on your phone,
I dont think you will be able to do it over wifi as you're not got the laptop on a wireless network, so it will use your gprs data

It worked (using GPRS).. too bad I can't do it with WiFi though (direct WiFi to my laptop). Strange though.. if I can share internet with my HD2 by making it a router, it should be possible with the laptop:
Mobile Broadband from laptop -> Laptop as WiFi router -> WiFi on HD2 now with internet -> HD2 on WiFi shared by laptop -> Remote desktop of laptop ):

so basically you want to be connected on your laptop, which will be set as a router, with your phones wifi connection... interesting... Something like an ad-hoc connection???
I will try that and let you know if it works...

Thanks! That worked like a charm ^^
I haven't read through all of the post but there is a better way than gprs. If your laptop's wifi adaptor supports ad-hoc mode (tbh it should. i don't know of an adapter that doesn't) it will be possible to set the laptop up as the network wifi server and then connect the phone to it via wifi. Then, all you'll need to do is right click "computer" on the laptop then click "advanced system settings" and then "remote". Finally click "allow connection from any computer running remote desktop". Next, in the start search box look for "command prompt" and when it appears click it (you may need to run it in administrator mode). Run ip config and look for the ip address assigned to "Wireless LAN adapter wireless network connection".
This is where we move to the phone. Connect the phone to the ad-hoc network you made on the laptop and run remote desktop on the phone. Give the ip you just obtained from ipconfig and give it your username and password, hit connect and jobs done.
I'm not gonna tell you how to setup the ad-hoc network coz i think you need to do some research on google in order to learn the value of how good it is (plus i'm watching the post race from the Canadian F1 GP).

Nothing more than a front end for what is already in windows. It looks like it basically does what i was instructing you to do by hand. I won't have used it but i know what i'm doing and i have a wifi/wired domain network so my phone is actually joined to the server and the server treats it like a client. The same as it would the pc so i can use the internal dns to find any machine connected and not have to worry about the ip's (but i do know them all off of the top of my head)

I haven't read through all of the post but there is a better way than gprs. If your laptop's wifi adaptor supports ad-hoc mode (tbh it should. i don't know of an adapter that doesn't) it will be possible to set the laptop up as the network wifi server and then connect the phone to it via wifi. Then, all you'll need to do is right click "computer" on the laptop then click "advanced system settings" and then "remote". Finally click "allow connection from any computer running remote desktop". Next, in the start search box look for "command prompt" and when it appears click it (you may need to run it in administrator mode). Run ip config and look for the ip address assigned to "Wireless LAN adapter wireless network connection".
This is where we move to the phone. Connect the phone to the ad-hoc network you made on the laptop and run remote desktop on the phone. Give the ip you just obtained from ipconfig and give it your username and password, hit connect and jobs done.
I'm not gonna tell you how to setup the ad-hoc network coz i think you need to do some research on google in order to learn the value of how good it is (plus i'm watching the post race from the Canadian F1 GP).

hehe... was watching F1 as well..!! I did try the ad-hoc option but I couldn't get it to use my existing Wifi connection for some reason... what they do now, is only connecting to computers with wifi connection together... I didn't spend so much time with this to be honnest, but the other option I mentioned before is a lot easier for everybody...
Hello, sorry if there was a thread like this one, i searched but couldnt find anything.
In the old days, when i had a winmo samsung omnia, then i connected it to pc, it could use it's internet connection, is this possible with x10 ?
Thanks in advance.
PDAnet in Android Market.
I think that software lets you use your mobile connection in pc, what i need is, to use my pc internet connection in the phone, cause i dont have data plan atm :]
u mean internet sharing from your pc. why dun u just turn on your wifi and connect to your router directly?

Anyone ? I really nead this :|
If you don't have Wifi, what are you expecting to do?
Your only other option is setting up an ad-hoc network with your computer (if your computer has a Wifi card capable) and set it to internet sharing, and have the X10 connect to your ad-hoc network.

Replace "X10" with "Android"
Doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
