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 tried searching, but i get too much junk in the search.
when i connect using wifi, my connection keeps getting dropped, so is there a way to do it with USB?
thanks
Yes, AS by default shares the Internet connection of the desktop.
but its not working for me, i can't connect to aim with it or use PIE.
thanks

I think it is quite a common problem, come on guys can we get a fix for this?
Some of my data for you to consider:
Desktop PC connected directly to a router, Wizard, Prophet & Blue Angel all connect to internet via usb.
Laptop wirelessly connected to the same router none of the PDA's connect.
Laptop connected wirelessly to a different router (at work) again none of the PDA's connect.
Is it something to do with a wireless protocol?
Laptop and Desktop have slighlty different frewall software but I think I disabled it all on the laptop & still no joy.
Anyone able to use USB and wireless connection to connect to the internet?
I did see a registry hack offered by Dell, it relates to 'LS???' or something, tried it, no joy.
Any suggestions?
Try bluetooth ActiveSync instead of USB
Not really a fix for the USB problem but I can now do ActiveSync and browse the net together.
I have had a bluetooth dongle for the laptop for 'years' but never used it with the PDA. After some trial & error (about 45 minutes, not bad for me) I can now do ActiveSync with Bluetooth AND have access to the net THROUGH the laptop.
Speed is not as good as WiFi but it does work.
I read a tutorial some months ago on MoDaCo about setting up AS with BT. Suggest a search if you can't set it up by trial & error.
Hello
I hope this is the right place.
I own a wizard i was wondering if it is possible to browse the net with my phone, using my desktop's internet connection.
i dont have wifi so i am talking about using the data sync cable for that.
i am running Xp pro.
Thanks in advance

I belive when the wizard is connected to your pc via the usb sync cable
it uses pass through to allow u to use your pcs internet connection.
thus alowing u to surf the web from the wizard .
hope this helps
it is also possible to configure activesync bluetooth connection. it gives you a possibility to use a desktop internet connection, bt may be complicated to configure. if you want (if you have bt on your desktop) i can give more details.
doh
thanks for the fast response.

Actually, it is possible to use Bluetooth PAN for Internet sharing (Both PC->Wizard or Wizard->PC), no need to establish ActiveSync connection.
Finally - our own forum!
I've had my dual for about 4 days now, and have been looking at various ways to connect to the internet in the abscence of wifi. My network providers data rates are pretty high, so i was wondering if anyone has been able to browse the net through their PC's internet connection via bluetooth? I've heard of the activesync route, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Failing that, how are the rest of you connecting to the net?
I am connecting not at all. Haven't had enough time for giving it a try, because there were some hundred contacts to move from old phone to new phone, one by one via Bluetooth is p.i.t.a.
Anyway, i'd use wifi on my nokia 9500

I'm 24/7 connected via 3G.
But when connecting activesync through bluetooth, this is working also...

yes, activesync should work. which OS r u using on your pc?
i'm using XP, and my laptop has bluetooth built in. I've tried getting it to work via Activesync but not having any luck as my Dual can't see the activesync service enabled when connected to the laptop. Did you have to configure specific ports just for activesync?
Not released yet, but possibly this'll help when it is: Spectec SDW-823
Not sure when that will be released, but will keep an eye out for it.
At work we have a wifi network we can use, and I had this plan to use an old Ipaq/PDA as a wifi/bluetooth gateway for my Touch Dual. The way I could see this working is to connect to wifi via the Ipaq, and 'share' it's internet over bluetooth. Even if I could do this, i'm not sure the dual could connect to a Bluetooth PAN network natively and share it's connection..
I am wandering if there is a way to share my internet connetion between my alltel ppc 6800 with the new htc shift. I know how to link the phone with my laptop but I am currently looking at purchasing the shift to replace it and was wandering if the connection would work. If anyone has tried this please post.
P.S. the connection would be via bluetooth unless I converted the mini usb from the ppc 6800 to usb back to usb to plug into the shift. Thanks.
not sure if it could be done with BT, pretty sure it cant be done with USB (unless the shift can operate in host mode)
what should work is wifirouter (im sure the shift has wireless)
ok so how would i get the connection to work through a router? The only internet connection i have is through the ppc 6800.
nono, wifirouter is an app that you would run on your 6800, it essentially turns it into a wireless access point that other wifi enabled devices can use for internet access
where is the app available for download at?
Is that the only way it would work or could I configure the 6800 as a modem to connect?
ok I downloaded the app but still cant connect. I am trying the connection via my laptop and it stops at waiting for Internet connection sharing. is there some setting that needs to be changed or what am i doing wrong?
You ever figure out how to get the internet on your pda using the 6800 and the connection? I would like to do this bluetooth with my setup.
The newest version of WMWiFiRouter ($$$) allows you to do this over wifi, BT, or USB. If you have the money, it's a great program.
I have WMWifiRouter and use it with my laptop. How do i use it with bluetooth to get internet on my Dell X51? The x51 wants to dial a number when you setup a connection.
OK, I have a jasjam with all the factory provider settings for internet. All works well. But how do I connect to a laptop and use the jasjam's internet on the laptop?
My moto has phone tools that does this. But I wanna do it with my jasjam... Help anyone?

Yeah it's fairly simple. Make sure Activesync 4.5 is installed on your laptop (don't know if you need it if you use Vista)
Connect your laptop to the device with USB cable.
On your device start Internet Sharing (if it doesn't have it then you will need to install a ROM that does... pretty much all cooked ROMS do)
Then click connect... give it a few seconds and you should be able to connect to internet via your phone's internet connection
You can also do this via bluetooth. First go to Internet Sharing and instead of USB select 'Bluetooth PAN' in the drop down box
Click connect...
Then only your Laptop in Control Panel> Networks tell it to connect to Bluetooth Pan and you should be done.
You can even do this via Wifi but you need to get commerical software called WMWifiRouter
Cheers. I found that the bluetooth I was using was a little complicated. Ended up using an older stick and it works great. Thanks.
