Using the WIFI connection on my Wizard for my laptop?

Is there a way to use the WIFI connection on the Wizard on my laptop via USB cable? Maybe some sort of dhcp server or proxy server for WM5 ?

ok i may be missing somethinh here, but isn't the phone designed to do that?
just install the modem driver on your pc (its on the cd)
disable active sync
connect the phone vis usb
run the modem link app on your phone (its already installed) in programs
and away you go ??

Exactly

Isn't it easier and faster to just get a WiFi card and plug it into your laptop?
Did it not come with one already?

Unfortunatelly, the best way for this kind of conneciton - is JUST TO BUY a $20 WIFI CARD for your laptop.
I have an older laptop too, and would like to use my QTEK9000 as an USB external WIFI card using th einternet connection sharing on the device - but no luck so far.
you may try this approach: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1
but is is a painfull way and still doesnt help much (only HTTP).
So, the PCMCA WIFI $20 expence is stil the best solution.

Ameo able to share internet connection via wi-fi ?

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question
I have an Ameo , and I also have use of a UMPC - which has Wi-fi , but no BT
Would it be theoretically possible to create an adhoc network between the two devices (wi-fi) , and thereby share the Ameo's HSDPA connection ?
I realise that simply connecting them by USB cable will let me do the same thing, but I really could do without having the two physically connected
If the above won't work I'll have to get a dongle for the UMPC I think !

I'm not sure about WiFi but I can tell you something use a USB cable, the one you use for ActiveSync. What I found this summer when using my X7500 as HDSPA modem for my PC was that using USB with the internet sharing connection was far more stable and fast than using BT wireless connection.
Now related to WiFi, just a theory. I don't think that you can with the provided software. What Internet Sharing program does are two things as far as I understand. First launch a connection to the HDSPA system and "listen" the PC either on BT or in USB. Second manage to do some sort of routing between the WAN network (HDSPA) and the "local" network (BT or USB). But I place local between quotes because I'm not meaning LAN which is real LOCAL Area Network, that could work in WiFi. I mean "local" in terms of near to the PC or something like that.
So... perhaps you will be able to connect the Athena and the UMPC using a peer-to-peer WiFi connection which looks possible to me. And for sure you will be able to generate a HDSPA connection to the WAN. But you need a program to route the data from the HDSPA to the WiFi in the Athena in order to get communication in the UMPC using the Athena as router which is the function I mention as second function of the Internet Sharing program.
OK all this is in theory off-course.
Anyway I can tell you that phisical connection using USB for Internet Sharing is solid as a rock and works great for hours.

Most of the wm6 ROM´s have included the WIFI router or a similar aplication, so it´s very easy to set up

Tethering and Retheting on Windows

I just got a Tattoo.. I think new users have always problem.
Somebody help me for the following:
1. I want to access internet at home on my laptop running Windows 7 by TETHERING with my Tattoo GPRS(EDGE). Is that USB connection and selecting 'Mobile Network Sharing'?? But I am still not able to success.
2. At my work place we have wired network, so I want to access Internet on my Tattoo by USB connection to a PC, just opposite of Tethering, let's say RETHETING. but I could not find anywhere.
Thnx

Thank you everybody. I resolve my 1st problem. Yes, it is just USB connection and selecting 'Mobile Network Sharing'. My problem was because of not able to install the NDIS driver properly. After resolving the driver problem it is working fine.
But I am still looking for my 2nd problem RETHETING

I'm not sure if it will work that way... I know with a Windows Mobile device you can, but never tried under Android. Perhaps there is an option somewhere in the HTC Sync program?

There definitely isn't an option in HTC Sync to do this. In fact, I don't know of any way of generically sharing your internet connection over USB. If your work PC has a Wi-Fi card, you could easily share the internet connection over an ad-hoc network.
Edit: In principle, you could also share your internet connection over Bluetooth but I'm pretty sure the Tattoo doesn't support the necessary Bluetooth profile(s) for such connections.

I think Wi-fi ad-hoc connection is for rooted androids only and I don't found any rooted tattoo till date. I tried another option, using Connectify on my Windows 7 laptop and sharing Wi-fi. But still unable to success browsing, eventhough my phone can be connected with my Laptop through this connectify.
Anybody have success browsing it kindly share.

Uh, what? I'm sharing my internet connection over Wi-Fi with my MacBook right now and my Tattoo can connect to it and access the internet just fine.
Edit: You're probably thinking of android-wifi-tether, which lets you share your phone's 3G/2G mobile connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

If you are talking about tethering, it is OK, I am just satisfied with USB tethering, it is working now, but What I am actually looking for is about RETHETING just converse connection of that tethering. (I know there is no word like RETHETING BUT I don't know what is the right term of just converse connection of tethering.) The problem is, I want to share wired Internet at my working place with my HTC tattoo phone as I have limited GPRS subscription to save some money and to enjoy speed of that wired internet.
I thought running Connectify on my Windows 7 laptop connected to that wired Internet as a Wi-fi hotspot then connected by this android phone (Tattoo) is the right solution.
Yes, it is connected pinging is ok but could not access internet from my Tattoo. May be some firewall problem or something I cannot figure out. If some one have solution it is most welcome.

No, I was talking about "retheting"; my MacBook has a wired (ethernet) connection to the internet and is sharing it over Wi-Fi, which my Tattoo can connect to and use.
I did some reading up on Connectify (and was surprised to find that Micro$oft still hasn't quite implemented the feature natively on Windows yet) and it should work. I don't have a Wi-Fi card on my desktop PC so I can't test it myself but perhaps you are having something like a firewall problem.

I have tried with Connectify and also Virtual Router on my Windows 7 but could not success. I think you are lucky to own a macbook. My Windows 7 is RC so it might be because of that or Tattoo may lack something.
Regarding that android-wifi-tether, it reports as rootted device required and could not help my requirement.

I thought you were talking about an usb internet sharing connections...
If you want to do it via wifi, is pretty easy, since ALL windows have the ad-hoc functionality made by default. Problem is that if you use it with your wifi chipset then you won't be able to conect directly to other wifis if it is your main connect unless you buy another wifi card for this purpose...
in windows 7 you can find this functionality under the connection center... in windows xp is a little bit difficult because you have to configure the adapter into the wifi adapter properties in network connections tabs.

Yes. I actually want that USB internet sharing. But till date no one is seem to success it.. So, while waiting for this solution.. I am just looking for alternative, that sharing through wifi.

I also thought that it should be very easy, and tried all possible means that I know but could not success. One funny thing is, I can get IP address resolved of any URL on my tattoo after wifi connection. It means it can reach DNS server and can resolve IP address but still could not able to browsing. May be some firewall or Antivirus is blocking the browsing on my Windows 7 pc I need to check thoroughly.
If someone have good explanation, it will be very helpful... thanks.

Wifi is working
I was making my laptop complicated by setting 3 static IP networks..as my work place has 3 gateways and I manually change gw when required. I clean it up and set to only one. Now Internet through Wifi of Laptop is OK I am using Connectify on Windows7.
Thx for the patience.
But still waiting for solution on USB "Retheting"

Speed up internet via Active Sync?

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?

boba23 said:
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.

boba23 said:
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.
Regards Gjizaqin.

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
