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.
Download the fix from here:

Hi Guys
Sorry if ive posted this in the wrong place (Admins, feel free to move it if need be)
Well... My old iMate JasJar (HTC Universal) died completely last night, so today I went and got myself an OKTA Boss... Im pretty sure its an HTC Manufactured phone, just cant quite work out which model... But anyway... Onto my problem
I regularly work out of the office and rely on my PDA for internet access, I used to use the USB Dialer for WM5 with the JasJar and it worked just fine.
Now the new BOSS has WM6 so has Internet Connection Sharing... But I just cant get it to work...
Everytime I connect it the icon in the taskbar (Im running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5) searchs for the IP address and then fails to find an IP, coming up with a error in a bubble:
"There is limited or no connectivity on this network connection"
ActiveSync works fine, as does browsing and copying files to and from the phone within My Computer, but Internet Connection Sharing doesnt...
Heres what Ive tried so far...
-Turn off USB Connections in ActiveSync (on PC, have to do this anyway or PDA complains)
-Diabled Windows Firewall (on PC)
-Disabled or deleted all other network connections and old USB Modem drivers (on PC)
-Turned off "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" (on phone)
-Tried 3 Different PCs and 4 Different Cables (all with same results)
-Yelled @ various peices of IT equipment in my house LOL
So any ideas on how to fix this?
If not then my Screen Name is living up to its meaning.
mabey the phone is not getting gprs/edge?
Make sure you close the ActiveSync when it try to start, you can do it with the X Button
or simply use the
Setting > System > Memory > Running Program
select ActiveSync and the click Stop
If you do this quick the internet connection will up if you let the ActiveSync run long enough it will set up PC to your device connection for data syncronization/transfer only with no routing to internet.
Hope this help
Maybe Your service provider does not allow you to use your data connection to share with the pc, try using pdanet that way you can syncronise and use it for ICS at the same time

Double Post Sorry
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".
Have a look here:

It works perfect on Vista and win 7
has anyone of you experience this problem? in previous WM version 6.1, once you paired the PDA phone with say your laptop via bluetooth, then you are supposed to go Internet sharing click on PC Connection:Bluetooth PAN, Network Connection: Internet, once you press on "connect" button, the screen will show "Connected" . Now you can go to your Laptop & press Network Access service and laptop would be able to access internet wirelessly via your PDA phone.
but now in HD2, once you press "Connect" button it will go into device selection mode prompting you to select a device..and it always failed to connect if I choose my Laptop.
Any advice what went wrong?
Btw, HD2 becomes so disappointing really, besides the SMS not-send problem, my HD2 goes into sleep mode & unable to wake-up when presson hard button..quite frequently.. sigh..
I've got the same problem. Want my internet sharing back please! Has anyone got it working, and if so how?!
When I pair my phone there is always a bluetooth peripheral device driver failure (have manually installed wmdc and the driver) so didnt know if this had something to do with it?
Thanks.
Owen.
Can anyone help on this please? Are other people's working ok? What software/radio are you using?
tried down grading to radio 2.05 but still not working
I have another kind of problem with BT sharing mode. Probably, it is on the side of laptop, but any suggestion would be nice.
On a WIN XP machine, I do the connection as usual, XP asks me for "Allow to connect", so I click YES. Then it looks like connected, I get DHCP, DNS, GW is set, but i cannot even ping the phone(192.168.0.1), not talking about any internet IP. Bluetooth PAN networking is enabled on XP.
On other laptop, WIN7 x64, the procedure is the same and it works!!! There is just one more confirmation on the phone, something like "Allow internet access to....?" I select yes and all is fine. Same DHCP, same DNS, same GW.
No confirmation about allowing access when paired with XP, probably because there isn't even a try from the computer(as it cannot reach even its own default gw).
BT file transfer works on XP without problems, just TCP/IP no-go. Maybe some firewall(win fw is OFF), hidden process, service, group policy setting...?
Hi,
I have found several posts somewhat similar to this one but actually none of them reported exactly my problem, that's why I dare posting a new thread.
After first use of my Touch HD in "Internet Sharing" mode, ActiveSync stopped working at all. Every time I connect the phone to a laptop with USB cable, it shows the option screen with "Internet Sharing" chosen as default. I can tick the ActiveSync radio button and then Done button but I get no connection. The laptop shows a new "local connection" with some private IP assigned but ActiveSync icon stays grey. The DiskDrive mode works fine but here also something has changed: HD does not remember this option as default for the next connection (as it used to before). I tried that with two laptops, same effect. Tried unchecking "Enable advanced network functionality" - no success. Tried soft-reset the phone and restart the XP on laptops - no success either.
I am using ActiveSync quite a lot, although in Guest mode only, for new software installation (many do not have CAB versions) and quick data transfer that does not disable all my software installed to SD card (as the Disk Drive mode does).
I guess (still not tried, however) that a HR would fix the problem but I think it is not a right way to switch between Internet Sharing and ActiveSync
any help would be much appreciated,
regards, Michal.

Hi Michal,
When you started Internet Sharing mode on your laptop I dont think that should have interferred with your ActiveSync. Internet Sharing basically turns your PC into a DHCP server just like a router - it hands out IP addresses (with a given range, subnet mask etc). Internet traffic can then be routed via the PC.
Check your IP settings on both your laptop on also within the connection settings on your HD. The IP settings on your HD should have a static IP address and NOT be set as automatically assigned, as you suggested.
As you have the same problem on two laptops I would hazard a guess that its the IP settings on your HD, try changing this.
Best Regards.
I guess there is a misunderstanding. I used my Blackstone as Internet Sharing device, not the PC. The phone was connected to the Internet via GPRS/EDGE and the laptop was using this connection.
regards, Michal.
Hello All,
Here is my problem and I need help.
Situation:
Laptop WinXp is connected to Internet via cable modem.
Now I want to make access to Internet via Wi-Fi from laptop for WM 6.5 device.

Internet access via ActiveSync and USB cable is working perfectly but via Wi-Fi doesn’t
After many hours browsing various forums I couldn’t find any good working solution.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards and Thank you.

How can I at least connect WM6.5 using Laptop's Internet?
I have WM6.5 device (HD2) with no data plan. At home I can use wifi to connect to internet. However at work, I have ActiveSync 4.5 on laptop but It does not connect to Internet. I read somewhere that using ActiveSync WM device can use laptops internet, but I could not get it to work. Can anyone tell me how??
Intermittently with some setting change I was able to get internet only via Internet Explorer in HD2, and at one other time only in Opera, but never from any other Apps (like GoogleMaps, HD2 sense's Weather, etc). It could be when I tried InternetSharing on my laptop's WinXP's network connection to wireless Network or to LAN2 (LAN to Wireless or LAN to LAN2. LAN2 is automatically showing when my device is connected via ActiveSync). However I am back to zero now.
I wonder it has anything to do with Company's Firewall policies. On my laptop Firewall is turned off. But then I was not able to get this to work at home either.
I have the following settings on ActiveSync's "Connection Settings":
All six items checked.
3rd Item dropdown box has COM3 or DMA (could not figure out any difference).
4th item dropdown has Automatic or Work Network.
connected via USB cable.
Let me know what is it that I am missing??

Try changing the 4th item dropdown to "The Internet"
Try unchecking the "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
The 3rd item dropdown doesn't matter if you connect via USB.
Can someone figure out how to sync via WiFi?
Undoubtedly, technology problems hold you and your company back. That's not good for business and as such it's a great idea to get the problems fixed quickly. For several small companies, small business computer support isn't confined to one person within the company; rather, it is tech support that is called in.

I tried and that did not work. Is there any body who got this working, if not in company settings, what about in home settings??
