Is there a way to get internet pass-through on this phone? I get horrible service at work, and it would be nice to be able to just use my PC's internet connection sometimes.

I currently have my wizard setup as a moden to feed my laptop internet via bluetooth and it seems to work quite well but my laptop does not have bluetooth so i am forced to use an adapter which is sort of a pain. is it possible to do something similar with wifi? i cant seem to make it work.
any help would be appreciated.

u would have to set up and Ad-Hoc connection between your wizard and laptop and set internet connection sharing over that connection.
is it possible to enable ICS on WM5? i looked through the options and i culod not see it. are there any programs out there that do it?
I used to have an internet connection through the usb cable, and now I don't after making an unknown change. I can connect to wifi, but wanted to still have usb internet connections as some hotels I stay in do not have wifi. I've been messing around with the setting>connections, but no luck. I am also wondering if any of you Cingular customers have been able to connect with Edge even though you have the WIX blocked for the number. Mines connected and I was wondering if I will be charged.
Not sure how it will be called in an english ROM since I am running O2 GERMANY but you should be able to get this activated under START -> PROGRAMS ... look for an icon what indicates something like INTERNET SHARING. Click on that icon and activate Internet via USB again.
INTERNET SHARING, i just found that today now i am using my desktop thru the 8525.
Actually I am trying to go the other way. I would like the internet from the laptop.
when connected to activesync you automaticly have the laptops network on your pda unless you turned it off
All I get is "Cannot connect with current connection settings." I've tried all the different setting and still can't get an internet connection. Funny thing is that the HTC Home weather updates while connected, but not the internet. The wifi has no problems, but again a hotel might not have wifi.
Hi
I have the same problem, IE will not find any web site either via usb or wifi (ok via 3G) HTC home weather works fine. I then installed Mozilla minimo and I can surf with out problams. I think there must a be a hidden IE setting/registry problem that I don't know how to access
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible that a normal cell phone, like a samsung d900i, can connect to the internet through my ppc, wich has a connection with WiFi..
TIA

Via wifi, no. Your phone only support MicroSD and I don't think WiFi SDIO goes that small.
Via Bluetooth maybe. Depends what OS your phone is running. Sometimes you can use bluetooth activesync in Windows Mobile to share the internet. Obviously your computer would need to have bluetooth as well.
What OS do you have on your phone?
You would need the ability to stop the phones web browser from accessing the internet itself firstly, because I would presume the instant you try to open a webpage the phone will use the cellular connection for internet access.
If you could stop this from happening, you may have some success after you pair to the PPC via bluetooth.
Then you would need to point the web browser at the PPC in either the browser settings or the network connectivity settings.

My OS is WM6.1 dutch
@ desolateone
Thx, I will try
In which case read this guide (part of which I wrote myself).
Using it correctly, internet over bluetooth is very very easy.

Hi guys!
I found a lot of programs to share the gprs conection via wifi (converting the hd on a hotspot) but I want to share not a gprs conection ,just the internet I get via usb activesync... I was not able to make this happen with any know program.
Someone know how this can be done?
"wmwifirouter" require a conection to be dialed/conected and don't take into account activesync one.
So in short you want to use your phone as a Wireless Access Point when connected to and accessing the Internet through the USB port of the computer?
I don't think it can be done, I don't think you can have WiFi and USB on at the same time.
EDIT: Just checked and it seems you can have both at the same time.
if u want to use the internet connection of your pc via wifi, u need no programs but i only have to configure properly the wifi network card on htc and enabling internet sharing on pc's wifi connection
Mustn't you rather activate the internet sharing on the phone ?
I am with the provider Orange in France.... and the internet sharing is normally forbidden. I would like to use the phone as a wifi access point without the usb.
Can Orange see that I have activated that internet sharing ?
I would also like to do this! Particularly at work. I can connect my phone to my work computer via activesync and check email etc. It would be great to be able to share this connection with my laptop via the "wm wifirouter" or another app. Please let us know if you discover a solution - I will also investigate.

Hey folks,
I don't use this connection for internet access very often, but anyway, using my active sync usb connection to get on the internet, I get really slow speeds.
Often e.g. on youtube, videos really need to rebuffer very often and so on.
It seems that the active sync connection is really somehow speed limited.
My internet link here is 32mbit, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Must be an HD2-Active Sync issue. I am on Windows 7 Ultimate on the PC it's connected to.
Are there any tweaks to speed up internet connection using active sync?
thanks
boba
is the internet slow on your phone or computer?

On the phone, that's what my post is all about. On the notebook it's connected too, I get the full 32mbit of my internet link. It's definately not an issue with my internet link in general. Must be an HD2 issue. Or Windows7, who knows.
And btw, when I use wifi, or 3G internet, speeds are fine, way better than via active sync too.

ok I understand,I was under the assumption that you could transfer or tether the internet one way phone to computer, unless you were using wifi which I believe you can use you laptop to make it an access point.

Sure, I have several other options for decent internet access, but my point simply is, why is the active sync link that slow? ;-)

If you have any wireless card on your computer, i would suggest you to use your computer as a wireless router (there is a program in win 7 called connectify which converts your normal wifi card into a wifi access point) and you can connect to it from your HD2 via wifi, and speeds will be very fast.
Just a thought if it's not your situation, just ignore me.

how to do so i can use that to? i mean surf in my mobile true active sync, what program do i need?
and if i do so, can i then make my htc hd2 as a wifi router to share that connection to another computer wirelles?
As far as i know the phone is capable of this
Internet
Wired
Phone (Via Provider Data Plan) -> Computer (Via USB to PC in Connections)
Wireless
Phone (Via Provider Data Plan) -> Wireless Device (Via Wifi Internet Sharing)
Wireless Router -> Phone
Provider Data Plan ->Phone
