0i have written a small application that connects to a web service to transfer data. this web service is currently run on a local laptop runnin IIS. the device is connected to the laptop via the standard usb port, active sync starts up, and the mobile app is able to find the web service (//computername/applicationname/filename.asmx). However this only works if the laptop is connected to the internet. as soon as i pull the network cable out of the laptop the mobile device is unable to find the web service.
as the web service is running locally i didnt think the internet connectio nwould be necesssary, can anyone shed any light on this as networking is not really my specialism.
thanks in adnavce,

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
I have 2 sim cards with data plans, each displaying different behaviour:
web n walk professional:
cannot connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
CAN connect to MSN via Messenger on Kaiser
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
cannot connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
web n walk plus:
CAN connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
CAN connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
Anyone have any idea why it's inconsistent? Surely the Windows Messenger and Trillian are both connecting to messenger.hotmail.com : 1863
Ideas?
Have you checked if your connection works through a proxyserver? I had all sorts of connection problems when I turned the proxy on...
I have had same problem with vodaphone. I mailed them that msn did not want to connect when proxy was on. They advised me to simply turn off the proxy on my phone.
Greetings from a vastloper from holland.
if you read the terms of use with the different services you will see that the different packages allow for differnt uses, ie voip & msn... also using the sim as a modem for a pc is prhibated with the lower tarriffs... you may find wifirouter as a nice work around
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.
@ Jadel
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.

is there someway i can plug my phone via usb into a computer and use the computers internet connection on the phone?
I believe that the far left icon is meant to be the data? then phone, then sound?
If i plug my phone in by usb all i get is a USB symbol.
I believe that im meant to get some sort of 2 arrows?
You'll be able to get the internet from pc on wi-fi connection to.
Here in my notebook I've shared the ADSL internet with wireless connection and I'm using the local web between my notebook and HTC to get the internet connection. It works perfectly!
when ever connected to activesync or the vista sync
the phone have full access to the network of the pc
unless you disabled it
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.
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.

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
