Hi everyone,
I have Ideos X5 and I cannot connect to wireless internet shared by my PC. I share my computer's internet from network and sharing center using "Set up a new connection or network". Whatever securiy type I've chosen (none, wep, wpa) I cannot even see the shared connection in the wireless networks list on my phone. I can easly connect to wireless networks shared by access points or wireless modems but as I said I cannot connenct to the wireless connection shared by my PC. My PC uses ethernet cable to connect to internet.
Thanks in advance
Solved
I solved the problem with a third party wireless hotspot software instead of using windows' default wireless internet share method.
Can you explai who you did it?
Just searh for virtual router in google
The windows sharing doesnt create an AP (Acess Point) it creates an ad-hoc network, so in order to connect with you phone you have to use an software that creates an AP... one case of that software is: virtual router

i got usb wlan adapter. it's ip is 192.168.1.130.
the lan adapter in my pc has 192.168.1.84 ip.
all computers on my local wired network has 192.168.1.* addresses and 255.255.255.0 subnet.
i fixed the IP of SD sandisk wifi adapter on my mda compact to 192.168.1.131.
Usb adapter is in peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) mode and i normaly connect with ppc to it. i got 80-100% signal all the time.
the problem/question #1: why i cant ping from ppc to PC ? firewall turned off.
#2 - if i could ping it, would i be able to ping all the other ip's on my wired network?
#3 - if i could be able to ping all of those computers, how should i set-up a workgroup on ppc and be able to map network drives through wlan link?
#4 - if i would be able to map the drive over wifi link, would i be able to add mine 20.000 mp3s to the pocketmusic's playlist and play them wirelessly?
thanks in advance!
And when i ping from PPC - i see on pc that "received" packets are raising -
ie. now it shows 12 packets received, when i run ping on ppc to pc, the
number increases to 16 (4 pings!) but all are time-outed....
And if the IP on both sides are set to "automaticly", they got assigned
169.254.*.* IP's. Then the ping goes through correctly but i can't still
access the network. The network bridge between LAN and WLAN connection only
made things worser, making my internet connection unusuable (DSL through the
same LAN connection) so i deleted the bridge. Now - ping is going but i
still cant map my pc's drive.... what could be the problem...
Same problem
Dakky,
I have the exact same problem. I bought a Netgear WG111 Wireless USB dongle. I created an ad-hoc network, connected to it but can't connect to the internet or browse my shared. On my desktop the sent packet go up but not the recieved.
Are we both being stupid, can't you connect your PPC to your PC using an ad-hoc network? I have now tried to connect with two different desktops to my XDA and a friends XDA IIs running WM5 to my desktop but had no success. I can connect to an access point and browse file/internet no problem.
I have an XDA EXEC and run XP Pro on desktop.
I've got similar problem. I have Linksys Wireless-G usb network adapter, i assign same class IP adresses (192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2, mask 255.255.255.0) the wifi connects in ad-hoc modebut how can sync over wifi ?, if I am able to sync over wify i will be able to use my pc's internet connection wich is a lot faster than any gprs/edge
I don't think you can network in this way - basically you have a bunch of clients but no 'server' I think you need a wireless hub (with Internet connection in there somewhere) in there somewhere.
If you do a search on microsoft web site ther is some info about using a PC as an internet share for other PCs but you have to use a very specific IP address rnge for this and set the share PC up in a certain way
I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.
That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

ive had my cable shut off for a few months now and have been tethering my 6800 to my laptop and PC for internet access. recently, a buddy of mine needed to download a large app on his iphone which required being connected to a wireless network. my router was still on for networking purposes but did not have an internet connection. then i discovered an incredibly simple way to use the data connection from my phone as an internet line for my modem, effectively adding internet access to my wireless router and allowing his iphone, my laptop, my ps3, and PC, all to connect to the internet. i thought this maybe useful for others, so here's how to do it:
Requirements:
XV6800 (or any WinMo phone) with tethering enabled
PC/Laptop w/ LAN connection
1) Create a Dial-up connection for your phone, if you haven't already.
2) Connect to DUN
3) Open Control Panel --> Network Connections
4) Right-click your DUN and select Properties
5) On the 'General' tab, highlight your modem and click Configure, then set the Maximum Speed to 921600 and click OK (not required, seemed to increase speeds though)
6) On the 'Advanced' tab (XP) or 'Sharing' tab (Vista), enable the checkbox for 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection' and click OK
7) Check the Status of your Local Area Connection. The IP address should now be 192.168.0.1
8) On your Wireless Router, move the LAN cable from its input jack into the 'Internet' jack.
9) You should see the internet activity light on your router light up and you are good to go!
NOTE: after sharing the DUN connection with your LAN, the IP settings for the LAN connection are set to a static IP of 192.168.0.1. You will have to change the IP settings back to 'Obtain IP address automatically' in order to have your LAN connection working properly again.
You can also get WMWifiRouter. It will uses the phones wifi to create an ad-hoc network and can tether via USB too. Version 0.89 is cooked into a few roms as it was one of the last free versions.
I have a Cradlepoint CTR-350 that I have been using so that I can connect with my PS3 and not need to set up connection sharing on my PC.

I've been using WMwifirouter as well. Have it on our Titan (xv6800) which my niece uses now. Had it on my HTC Touch Pro. And now I have it on my HTC Touch Pro 2.
I like the original posters idea alot too incase you didn't want to fork out $30 for the latest wmwifirouter software.
ah but as also indicated the last free versions work fine and do the same thing. I love using it on the go in my vehicle. My wife surfs the net while I drive on long trips.
Hi,
I am new to windows environment .
I want to access internet on HTC HD2 using my laptop’s internet connection.
My laptop is connected to the network and I access internet on it using the proxy which is configured in my browser’s configuration.
I can connect my HD2 using usb as well as wireless to my laptop by making wireless connection on my laptop as wireless router.
What additional configuration should be done on hd2 or xp so that I can update my weather updates using this link.

you can set in the activesync or windows mobile center settings, to enable the data connection in usb connect
I found a fix which made my internet connection through USB work:
- Open Registry Editor on your PC (Start/Run and type "regedit") and locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services.
- Right-click on the value list in the right site of window and choose New/DWORD value. Type the name "AllowLSP" and leave the value zero.
- Disconnect and connect your device and Pocket Internet Explorer (and all other applications) will start working.
thanks jawab for your reply.
i updated my registry in xp with the changes you suggested but no success.
i am able to connect to my laptop with usb as well as wireless. even i am able to get remote desktop on my hd2 but not internet.
can you please suggest something.
connecting thru activesync also doent help
regards

I'm sorry. For me I made the reg-change, connected the phone and wupti - there was internet through USB.
why not just connect your phone to your router via WiFi and use the internet that way? makes life a LOT easier
in my office my laptop is connected to wired network. there is no wireless
the only option for me to connect is using a USB connection or making my laptop as a wireless router.
both of them seem to be not working
I have a laptop connected to hotel internet via ethernet cable (Samsung Q330). I'd like to tether my Desire Z to it to share the internet connection (via either wireless or USB).
When I connect the phone to the laptop via USB, and select Internet Passtrough mode, the phone cannot connect to the internet.
In the Network sharing settings on the laptop, ICS settings I've checked the "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" box.
What else do I need to do to share the laptop's internet connection with the phone?
Get rid of all of that and install these (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ERN22YCO) drivers.
and enable tethering on your phone via settings>wireless and networks>tethering & portable hotspot
viola!

That looks like a way of sharing the phone's internet connection with laptop -it's the reverse that I want to do (i.e. use the laptop's connection on the phone). Have I misunderstood?

Setup a connection in your win 7 and hook up your phone to that particular network, similar to vpn, where you can connect a handheld to the connection and that connection routes you to internet.

In principle that's what I'm trying to do, but it's the specifics of how to set up the connection in Windows 7 that I was struggling with. Could anyone offer specific advice on what settings are required?
Create an Ad-Hock. This would be pushing your labtop connection out of its WiFi so that your phone can hook up to it.
Open Network and Sharing Center > Setup a new connection or network > Setup a wireless ad hoc
Make the name and security... Bla Bla Bla
U can connect your phone to it now.
Next go back to Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings
Double Click on "Local Area Connections" (Your Ethernet Adapter Properties) > Sharing (Tab)
[Check] Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection
Think thats it. Been awhile and im providing this info off the top of my head.
Also if you say want to send your wireless net to your ethernet:
Skip the adhoc part and just go to Adapter settings, pick wireless and enable sharing.
