Drop it. No way to do it. I've posted here just a few weeks ago, tried everything, with no luck. It simply isn't possible with the latest ActiveSync 4.1, and the older one 3.8 which has the wifi functionality, is not compatible with WM 5.0.
So forget about it. You can connect through wifi, but no synching...
Thank you very much but what is the benefith to connect through wifi?? i cant even send a file or connect to internet!!! At list give me a clue to conect Internet through WiFi & PC. but i think if we do the right Setting for IP in WiFi we would get connected some how....
Connecting through wifi gives you some good things... FOr one, I can stream all my mp3, and movie collection through wifi from PC to my prophet in real time... Yes, even movies work perfectly. So you don't have to keep your mem card full. And you can transfer files to/from PC with little problem.
To set it up, just set up a network on your pc, turn on wifi. Your prophet will discover it, and you can connect to it. Then you need a program like PocketLan, and you can set up a network folder in your prophet which lets you view all the folders you have placed on share on the PC. (so you have to place some folders on share).
I haven't tested sharing an internet connection, but it should not be a problem. I will test tomorrow or tuesday, and let you know.
Cheers.

Resco File Explorer will let you add "share drives" also. You can add directories or drives.
Upss...
It seems that sharing internet connection through wifi is NOT possible with WM5... They have just ruined everything with this stupid upgrade of activesync!
Anyone aware of a work arround so my PC internet connection works on my PPC connected to it with ad-hoc wifi?
as i said i think with IP configuration there might be a way to share it. or i think XDA fellow should program a Stack for this issue on activesyns4.x
Internet over Wi-Fi
you definitely need to do your research better
I have a wi-fi network at home and connect my Prophet to the internet without any problem, and so do thousands of other users.
If you have a wi-fi router, just set it to use the encryption supported by the Prophet. I found that using an authentication of "WPA-PSK" and encryption of TKIP works perfectly.
If you're setting up an ad-hoc network between a pc and the Prophet, you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the PC with the internet connection and voila'
You do not need activesync over wifi to use internet on the Prophet, just use it as a normal pc on wi-fi network. However what they have not been able to do till now is enable Activesync over Wi-fi for synchronisation.
Perhaps you are right Acer, since I was not able to fully test it with your specs.
I have a company cable network LAN, and a wireless adapter on the laptop which is free. But unfortunatelly, I was not able to set up internet sharing of the LAN, since it goes over a Network Bridge. Anyone now how this could be enabled?
THanks for the info Acer, its helpful...

Dude thanx i have a laptop and i have made an ad-hoc network between my pc and the Prophet, also i have shared my dialup connection but it is not working, if possible would you please explain step by step settings?
do you have Windows XP on your laptop?

yes i am using XP home Edition and my laptop is Averatec 3200 series
Just go to properties on your dial up internet sharing and set share this connection. i thinks thats about it. i've not use it for a long time, but if I remember correctly that's about it. you have to share it with your WI-FI adapter of course.
Some WI-Fi card can configure this automacticly. Like several I seen. You can set it as a router, and you're good to go.
BUMP @ acer175 ..where are you dude??!!!
Hi lover. Sorry, I thought Munyuk81's response was enough.
Anyway, on Windows XP, open Network Connections, right-click on your dial-up/ADSL connection, selet Properties.
Open the Advanced tab, you should have an Internet Connection SHaring section. Enable "Allow other users to connect etc, etc...". Select the wireless network adapter if given the option. Click YES if asked to change the IP.
Next create a wi-fi network using the XP utlities or your card's utilities. Don't touch the IP address of the wi-fi card.
Next on your Prophet, enable Wi-Fi and it should discover the network by itself. If you set a key in the step above, it will ask you to enter it.

Do you know how i can share my Lan internet which goes over a Network Bridge? WHen I removed the Lan from the Network Bridge, I could see the options for ICS, but there was no internet to share, as the connection was lost. Adding it back to the network bridge restores the internet connection, but removes the option for sharing it with the other (wifi) card...
Anyone?
i haven't tried it myself, but thinking logically, when you add a connection to a bridge, it loses its individual attributes. You have to check the properties of the bridge, and check if there are ICS options there, however I do not think that XP allows that, but you can try.
ALso see if this may be helpful:

thanx acer175.
i have connected my PPC to PC but still no internet sharing!! also i have shared some drives and folders in my PC but with resco explorer i cant see any of them

the file sharing works perfectly (thank you\) but no internet conection when i start IE browser it says : The page cannot be found. check the name and try again ?!!!
what is your settings in
Start.Settings.Connections.ConnectionsAdvanced...Select Networks?
both of them are My Work Network
It took me a bit, but I've figured out how to share a tethered connection, such that the following setup works: I use my 8525 tethered to my laptop via USB to get an internet connection. I use XP Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to share my internet access over a wifi ad-hoc connection so that another laptop(s) (i.e., girlfriend) can also get online.
This might not seem like much of a feat, but if you have ever tried to do it you will soon find that it is not normally possible. ICS on XP automatically sets up the host computer to act as a gateway using IP 192.168.0.1. This IP cannot manually changed on XP, as far as I have been able to determine through extensive googling (the same is not true for Win98, FWIW). And the same thing occurs with Window Mobile Internet Sharing. This means that there are two gateways competing to use 192.168.0.1 and the process fails with an error message saying something to that effect. I have looked high and low through the WM registry to find a way to change the IS default gateway IP, but had no luck. However the following works on the WM side to rectify the problem:
1) Enable Internet Sharing in WM6.
2) Attach to PC and wait for connection to be established.
3) In WM6, go to Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Click Network Adapters tab.
4) Set "My network connects to:" to Internet.
5) Click Remote-NDIS Host.
6) Change IP address to 192.168.1.1. Click OK.
7) On PC, enable Internet Connection Sharing under the Properties for the Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device. Select the network you wish to share your connection over. Either Wifo ad-hoc or Ethernet via a crossover cable.
dotFred Task Manager reports that WM is now bound to two IP addresses, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, but I have had no problems.

Hi i have an HD2 and i want to use my internet connection from my pc with USB on the HD2 and this to Wifi...
So i put the usb cable on the hd2...set Active sync... now is can use the internet over my pc....
now i start wmwifirouter... click on usb to wifi
he is connected...but i cant get an internet acces over another device ill used over wifi....plz help... what i must set?
USB Mode Rndis and Active sync oder Rndis and Internet sharing?
On the PC what i must setting??? I have windows 7...
plz help!!
wmwifirouter is made for doing the other way around
unless your setting block this your phone will have the network connection of your pc when ever your phone is connected to activesync
if it don't then you need to make sure that your pc firewall or activesync don't block it
and that your phone is set to use my network connection rather then my isp
th problem is...if i set rndis my pc dont find the device via active sync...
i have the same problem.
Run wmwifirouter on your device and then connect it to your pc. you shouldn't need to run anything else.

Not working.i select rndis and first internet sharing...not working..second rndis active sync not working.
I have made a blog post about this issue and how to configure this mode properly. It is tricky when you don't have a guide. It works seamlessly and I have purchased wmwifirouter just to use this mode

ok, so i potentially posted this in the wrong area....
sorry...

hi.
so i have a HTC Desire HD, on orange UK.
im running a webserver from my laptop for development purposes...
i was wondering how i can access it from another internet connection while im tethering?
(assuming my router has port 80 forwarded to the laptop) i am easily able to gain access to the web server simply by navigating to http://<my.ip.add.ress>/ from another internet connection....
how would i go about doing this while tethered to my phone? i assume it is possible, as a torrent client seems to be able to upload and download while tethered... i assume it would be something to forward internal port 80 access through to my laptop? :S
when tethered, both my laptop and phone have the same external ip address, so im assuming it would all be done through the hotspot stock app on my phone...
any useful information would be great, thanks..

If I understand you correctly, when you tether your laptop to your phone you would like to hit the web server on your laptop from another internet connection, correct?
If that is the case then you would need some type of virtual router app installed on your phone to use in conjunction with your tethering program where you could forward the appropriate Ports to your laptop. (set to a static internal IP) I am not aware of any app like that and a quick market search and Google search yielded nothing. That does not mean it doesn't exist.
Perhaps this would be a good project for a dev as the need for it is going to become more prevalent.

Maybe look at some free dns servers to set up on your laptop. It has been a while since I used one but I seem to recall that some of them broadcast on Ports you specify, and that may negate the need for the router app on your phone since the laptop is already broadcasting on that port. The phone will automatically forward the incoming request because it sees the outgoing broadcast from the laptop.
Actually you would probably need an app that replaced your tether app that confines a configurable router with the tethering.
Are you tethering wirelessly?
Quick analogy:
Computer with a cable connection sharing Ad-Hoc connection.
Device *1 with root connected to the Ad-Hoc connection.
Device *2 can't connect to Ad-Hoc connection because its not rooted.
Question: How do i share a connected wifi connection with device *1 to *2?
If you have Windows 7 there are apps like Connecify-Me that turn your computer into a wireless AP.
Windows XP, and it can only share Ad-Hoc. Still need help.
BUMP!!!!!
Root the second device? Do you have another computer?
use router
Please clarify your problem, like
Os, Ad-hoc network......etc?

Very clearly you can use router with any operating system.
