Hi,
need some help here. Want to know how am i going to access internet with PDA through wireless laptop... First experience: When i connect my laptop with LAN cable to home modem/router (wired) and USB cradled it to my PDA, my PDA (Dopod 838 pro WM6 Schap 4.22 ROM) surfs internet brilliantly. Second: when i use my wifi through my laptop (same home wireless modem/router) and USB cradled it with my PDA and try to surf internet with my PDA, the connection between my laptop and router seems to be lost. Then i disconnected my PDA and laptop, the wireless connection between laptop and router lost forever. need to switch on and off again to connect it. My router: WPA /TKIP secured with no MAC filtered, All auto detect for IP, DNS. Laptop also has been tick for Internet connection sharing.
Pliz help newbie here, cos i've been trying to solve these by trial and error for a few days already and also search in this forum but cant find any solutions. if someone happens to know where the link of this solution please guide me. thank you in advance.

Hi there,
Don't know if this is even possible I've read all the articles I could find here and tried Microsoft web pages. If you can help ill most appreciate it.
(Apologies if this has been answered please let me know the link...)
My internet connection (at home) is via NTL cable, My 4 pc's connect to the internet via a Linksys router, each PC has a private IP address along the 192.168.1.x subnet which NAT to the router for internet access - all transparent.
I do not have a proxy server at home, connection is established because each PC uses the router as a gateway for internet access.
My XDA2 refuses to talk to the internet via Activesync. I can confirm that my handheld connectiviy text bubble says that the internet connection is pointing to the PC connection. the paramaters in Active sync passthorugh are set to internet - But it just won't work.
I even tried configuring the proxy option to the routers address no avail.
The XDA wants to keep defaulting back to its GPRS connection.
At the moment I have disabled the phone completely to stop it dialing out whilst I am testing.
I'm out of ideas can anyone help !!!!!!!!
I managed to fix this problem. I set up a personal proxy server from
http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/ its an excellent proxy only 815k in size and its intelligent enough to understand NAT'd IP addresses etc for connections to routers.
All I had to do was to configure the XDA 2 work profile with the proxy server address then the internet passthrough worked fine.
For Bluetooth access (I use a D-link USB bluetooth adapter). I had a problem getting the XDA 2 to launch the bluetooth connection under the activesync. I used the excellent pocket bluetooth tools
http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?h...t+bluetooth+tools&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8,
after installing this the connection worked straight away with BT internet access as well.
even though i upgraded to the new O2 rom for the xda2, i still had problems until i resorted back to the bluetooth tools, so i have internet via bluetooth gondle to my adsl. But the internet speed on my xda2 is still damm slow, perhaps its limited by the bluetoot connection speed. (my adsl is a 1mb line plus a netgear wgt624 wireless router connecting my laptop to the internet. any idea how i could get a better speed?
also what i like to do is able to access all shared files on the network or on my actual laptop from my xda2. activesync lets me browse from the laptop, but i can use the xda2 to browse the laptops files. any idea how i could do that? the laptop itsself has a 802.11g connection and an assigned ip address, but i guess that has nothhing to do with the bluetooth connection. so has anyone got any suggestions how i could access the files? some detailes guidance would be extremely welcome. thanks.
Hi I am new to this forum, and like the person above am trying to find a way to browse files on my PC through my XDA2 (i-mate).
I am connected via bluetooth to my PC, activesync is working fine this way, as is internet browsing on my XDA2 using my PC's internet connection.
All I wan't to do is be able to sit away from my PC and get files from it to the XDA2 via bluetooth.
Apparently using Resco File Explorer and a wi-fi connection you can set up a network with your PC, but when I try this with Bluetooth it doesn't work - surely bluetooth can offer the same file sharing - just slower???
Please help us if you know a way!

Hi - I am a new O2 Mini-s owner here in the uk - can anyone tell me how the internet browser on the pda connects to the internet when the device is hooked up to a laptop that is connected to the internet. I can get the wireless to connect to wireless router and surf no problem - I just wondered whether when connected to a pc it connects via the pc. It is not completely obvious looking at the screen icon
Thanks in advance
yes, it does
Thank you
i would like to know if i can use my internet connection which is in pc on my pocket pc which is o2 xda exec....pls let me know soon..
help wil be appreciated
thnx
yes when the pda is connected to activesync it have the same network access as the pc
hey is it possible to use it with bluetooth or wifi which is connected to my desktop ? if i dnt want 2 use it with active sync .. i dont want to use it through wire ..
if the bluetooth stack on the pda support PAN then yes
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
about the wifi option then if there is a wifi router it's easy
otherwise one have to make an adhoc network with the pc
and have that do the routing to it's wired network
How configure ad-hoc wifi network on pocket pc
How configure ad-hoc wifi network on pocket pc for using internet connection on desktop pc?
thanks
dont know of any software which makes pdas act the role as internet router
but boy have many people asked about it maybe it will be made sooner or later so
far only way i know of is bluetooth or usb where the pda dont act as router but as modem for the pc
Connection through destop pc
I have 2 different pda,
wizard and bluangel.
I need to connect the pda to internet through desktop pc.
This is the correct question.
connect to the pc with adhoc wifi network
and have the pc route adhoc wifi traffic to it's internet connection
it's really more of a general pc network thing then a pocketpc thing
as what needs to be don to make it work is the same thing as if the pda was a laptop or another pc
Yes But
Thanks
But I need basically information on this, do you know where I can found it?
bye

Hi.
Is it possible to share the ActiveSync internet connection from the computer (on my Wizard WM6) over WiFi?
Basic scheme: Computer with internet access->ActiveSync to Wizard->Sharing the activesync internet connection on Wizard over WiFi.
Any ideas?
that feature i recall was removed from activesync at one point cant recall what version
it should however be possible to setup an adhoc network between the pda and the pc without using activesync to share internet to the pda
Yes, its possible, and does work. The thing is that I have two laptops, one with wifi, one without (lan network). Anyways, thanks for help.

First of all you haven't mentioned clearly how ADSL is connected to your PC, so it will be difficult to precisely give you the answer. Anyway following is a general outline which may help you.
You can, if
your PC's ADSL has inbuilt WiFi & is configured accordingly or ADSL connected to WiFi & then to PC through cable or WiFi ...and on Trinity you simply have to turn on the WiFi from CommManager & it will be connected ( not to forget that if there is security key on PC's end then you'll have to enter on your trinity side as well)
