Htc hero internet help required

Hi there
i am new to android i recently purchase htc hero prior to this i was using htc raphael touch pro
my query is
in my touch pro i was able to surf internet on my mobile through my pc using the active sync from my pc
is there any way through which i can use my adsl internet from my pc to my htc hero
please help

If I was at my PC, I'd use my PC for the internet!
But hey, horses for courses eh.
No its not something I've heard anyone mention before. I take it you don't have WiFi then?
May be worth investing.

From my understanding he wants to do the opposite,... The hTC link is to use your phones data connection to connect your PC to internet,... I think they want to use their PC's internet connection to be able to surf on the phone?

ahh okay, my bad.
if the pc has a wireless card but the router isn't, you can set up an ad-hoc wireless network - but thats not something I have done on my hero, only with my elfs.
I'll have a look and see what I can find on my lunch break

OK,... So what CaptainStu says might be possible,... try to do a little research yourself if you can and post back what you find,... Just to save CaptainStu some legwork.

done a bit of googling on my lunch -
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...704/reverse-tethering-and-the-t-mobile-pulse/ post 9 may be of use - but I don't know if you are using a Linux PC. I haven't tried myself, but it is interesting to see what can happen.

Share Laptop's Wireless With Phone

So the situation is I am renting and using the wireless network in the house (Router is upstairs). My laptop connects fine but my phones internet is laggy sometimes because the router is kinda far. So im wondering if I could connect my phone to the internet via my laptop.
Windows 7 and my laptop is connected to internet VIA wifi so I dont thin Ad-Hoc will work...

Yep, Microsoft recently added support for virtual routers
http://www.connectify.me/
Just install that app, you will be up and running in minutes.

Thanks man, this is great.
BTW, what version are you using? Cause I downloaded the newest version and it wouldn't work so I downloaded an older version v1.2 and it worked. Seems like its a known problem.

Im using 2.0.1
I seem to remember that i had trouble to start with but it was windows firewall misbehaving.

can use that too? i am using windows xp and i have internet from USB stick - can i make a wireless network so my phone can use it too ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems it is for windows 7 only
any other aplication out there that can do this with XP ?

Im afraid its only compatible with vista onwards ...
EDIT: You should be able to set up an adhoc connection with your phone though

win7 wifi with x10 using connectify?

I live on campus and I get internet through residence...
I set up connectify on my computer so that I can use Internet on my phone as well.
Has anyone tried this??
On my x10, it says it's connected, but I can't load any pages (Web page not available...says the browser) and when I look at the connectify panel, under Connected Clients - 1, it's got sony logo and says <Connecting...>
I'm not sure if it's because my wifi card doesn't support it? (but it says all do..hmm)
or if it's my phone? My phone's always had problem with wifi 'outside home'.. Like the only wifi I would be able to use would be a secure wifi through my home router. I haven't been able to connect to any 'public wifi' like at cafe or restaurants...
If anyone's used this and knows how to fix the problem it'd be great... thank you!!!
(or it could be that my school's lame and they block any internet connection through personal hotspots )

Same happened with me on my network. I have tried it on my friends laptop and it worked just fine but i wasn't able to connect using my own laptop( on my home connection which got a windows server machin ).
I'm just guessing it was caused by my windows server machin and some firewall setting that i couldn't adjust.
By the way i just the exact same problem as yours, phone keep showing that it's connected and couldn't open anything and Connectify keep saying connecting.
sorry for my bad english.

I had the same issue, it was a firewall thing. I emailed Connectify and was told
"At a minimum, DualServer.exe (ConnectifyNetServices.exe in 2.1 Beta 1) needs to be allowed to access the network, and ports 67 and 68 for DHCP, and port 53 (DNS), as well as 1317, 1318, and 1303 (internally used ports for DHCP and DNS), need to be open. Connectify 2.1 Beta 1 will try to configure Windows firewall to open all necessary ports."
Currently i have just disabled windows firewall and all works fine (I have a hardware firewall between me and WAN).

I had the same problem with my x10. It kept saying connecting. I contacted the developer, they asked me to use beta. I just installed beta and every thing is fine now...

this version didnt work for me but the 2.2 version works for me, My phone is Xperia x10 mini 2.1

Using HP Pavilion DM4, I can use connectify and my X10 gets internet access...not sure what's your problem though.

I use Connectify on my Win7 PC too, sometimes, out of the blue, while I am connected and loading pages, it stops, even though it is still connected.
I find that killing the app and the process on my PC and then opening the app again, fixes the problem.
Connectify is very buggy but incredibly useful when it works right, imho.

[Q] Question-Splashtop

I have some questions about the splashtop on the transformer I want to ask:
1) If you connect a mouse to the transformer when you are using splashtop, will the right click bring you back to the last page?(i.e. does the right click functions properly? Or you still need to hold left click 2 seconds for a right click?)
2) I know splashtop can work over port forwarding via 3G. Did anyone tried if it is laggy or delays a lot when you connect splashtop over 3G or other wifi(not home wifi).
I have read through a lot of posts already but still can't find any answers. Can someone please help me try to use splashtop with their transformer(Since I haven't got one). Thanks a lot and will appreciate it.

1. right click will bring you back to the last page..i.e. exit the splashtop to the mycloud screen..
2.It really depends on how fast your host can upload and the network latency on the receiving end... in general..3G is never good in latency....i can get up to 1000ms latency if I use the 3g on my phone to play wow.....

From what I've read, the release of Splashtop bundled with the TF101 (v1.0.0.5) does not support connectivity over the internet, only via a local network. Apparently we need the v1.4.0.4 client on the TF for internet discovery, but I haven't found any way to upgrade this yet. Maybe ASUS will push this update at some point?
Edit: And I've tried connecting via the internet on my TF, but I've had no luck.

I've not tried Splashtop over 3G on xformer yet but Teamviewer works surprisingly well over 3G (on a phone). Should work pretty well over wifi but of course it all depends on your broadband speed etc..
Edit: Teamviewer is also free!

I remember reading an Asus statement somewhere that a future update will support this functionality.

I can confirm the client with the TF does work over the internet..you just need to manually add and IP address/port, and ofc you need to set up port forwarding correctly in your router..

Yes, can also confirm it works over the internet on 3G. You have to port forward the 3 ports and manually add the ip, but then it works fine. It's the only remote app I've found that supports the keyboard. The only downside for me is the limited resolution support. I'm running 1900x1200 and the max splashtop supports is 1280x800, so all of my desktop windows get resized when I connect.

you can still change the resolution back on your PC (while connected)..and it will displays just fine on the TF....
agree there should be an option to just use whatever resolution is on the PC

Yep, you have to portforward 6783-6785 on your router or it won't connect. Those with dynamic ips on DSL should also use some dynamic dns service like DymDNS so they can always connect.

Thanks for testing magicpork.
Blue_Man, maybe you can go to youtube and type:
Eee pad transformer home review Asus (MyCloud Splashtop Setup)
for connecting splashtop over other internet/3G(I can't post a link since the forum policy won't allow spams)
However, I have one more question. I've seen people comment about the keyboard will not function as a desktop when you connect through splashtop. (I think they said the short keys/numpad won't work as it should. Also, they say when you are playing games, when you old down "w", it will stop responding after 1,2s. They said you need to keep on pressing the same key over and over again)Is this true?

I got the splashtop remote on my pc fine and the HD on my TF but for some reason they will not see each other, can someone lend me a hand please?

[Q] Help please. Splashtop is just not connecting

Hi,
I just got my transformer, and am loving it. However, desperately missing the Splashtop streaming experience that so many people are raving about. Please help.
Whenever I try connecting, it says "Connect failed"
I have already enabled Splashtop Windows client in my Windows Firewall.
Also, I created a Splashtop rule (as mentioned on their site) to allow ports 6783-6785.
Have tried to seek help on their site, and in desperation turning to experts on XDA. Please help resolve this. In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin, so I cant shut that...but I suppose that should be ok. Please please help...

Before 3.1, I had no issues. After, i'm having some issues sometimes too. I have to click it 2-4 times before it connects.
Don't know what happened. Nothing changed on my pc end. Wondering if it's a TF thing.

Does it work while on the local network? If so then its a port forwarding issue in your router or youre using the wrong address. If it doesnt work locally it is an issue w your splashtop server setup or windows firewall.

If via lan (inside your nerwork) u don't need to port forwarding. All u need to use is the ip address of that machine. Are u having issues inside or outside your network? I noticed on mines, when I get connect failed I need to stop splashtop client and then start it again. Here a weird issue Im having, if there was a session of rd (windows) on my server then after that I will always get failed error with splashtop. I need to either reboot that machine or use logmein to restart the software on the computer. For me, there an issues with splashtop and windows 7 rd.

It doesn't work for me within my home network. Is there a way to try and narrow down the problem, or test it differently?

Try downloading the free version in the market: https://market.android.com/search?q=splashtop&so=1&c=apps
If it works, you may have a problem with the Asus-installed version. If it doesn't work, it could be the "server" portion

Just checked out the free verison and the highest resolution is 1024× 768 which look like crap on the Tf. Unless the paid verison has a native resolution for the TF, I going to stick with the splashtop that come with the Tf

There's a bug with splashtop I think. I can't connect to my mac mini unless the monitor is on or plugged in. Maybe you should try that.

I'm pretty sure the answer is right here:
"In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin"
You might want to chat with the company admin. If it's a work computer, 99.9999% of all admins will lock down ports to their IT Assets and there's not a darn thing you can do except get them to open it (small company) or get fired for trying to hack their network (large company).
If it's a work laptop maybe it might be on your side and something you can change but the vast majority of time the IT folks are going to close down company resources to avoid folks being able to do exactly what you are trying to do.

The splashtop desktop portion said there was an update so I installed it but now it only keeps me connected for a few seconds then it drops out. It also doesn't let me interact with what I'm seeing on screen. Anyone else run across this?

I have tried about everything I can think of to get Splashtop to work form outside ny home network:
Disabled firewall in Trend AV
Allowed Ports 6783-6785 in Trend
Turned off windows FW and allowed ports (three entries)
Turned off FW for UV modem
Allowed Ports in router (Lynksys)
And even tried disabling FW in router.
Thus at some point, all FW's were off, verified ip address (starts with 99, so correct one), used ipconfig to find IP of my computer too...
Whew... Any thoughts? Logmein works like S***, so I don't think I'll go there until they update it (or is the app better?)
Thanks!
