how to access the internet via bluetooth connection
This can be done by connecting to the PC using ActiveSync over your Bluetooth connection.
You can easily add this in the Bluetooth manager if you do not already have one.
As long as ActiveSync has the passthrough connection enabled (see Options -> Rules in ActiveSync) you will now be able to connect to the internet on your BA.

ive connected via bluetooth and activesync but really couldnt access to the internet :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Bluetooth surfing via Linux
you don't even need ActiveSync - it also works via a BT connection to a Linux PC! You just need dund and sdpd on the Linux side. I also had to write a one liner script making pppd ignore modem commands sent by my Wizard. Now it works perfectly - fast connection and more than 4 hours online already - on battery power!!!

thanks 4 ur interest
now its asking me the following :
user name , password and the domain
and i dont know what exactly should i enter in these fields

WIFI Internet

Hi, is it possible to connect the BA, via WIFI (P2P connection), to a PC with a WIFI card and use the PC's internet connection tu surf the web?
I tried: I can make the BA get the signal, but when I try to connect to a website it doesn't work.
Thank you in advance.
Bye.

I don't think its possible to do this directly using a P2P WIFI connection, but if you can get activesync to work over a P2P WIFI connection, it might work. I know is I use activesync over a USB connection & I can surf the net all day, so I'm thinking it might be possible to use the same approach over wifi.
Thing is I don't know if its possible to use activsync over P2P wifi
Solution
The problem is that windows not chain the IP Adrress of PC and Pocket bacause Nat not work under Xp basic system.
It's possible however to install a third party software to route packet from Pc to pocket i think all NAT's program can do that!!!!
Find one and Good Luck.
With WM2003SE i've used WINROUTE
Maybe?
Hi fabbor75!
Maybe your problem isn't the connection to the PC, it's maybe the DNS-resolution. Check your TCP/IP-settings on your BA, the important thing ar the DNS-Server.
The badest thing you must do is that you have to configure all TCP/IP setting manually: IP-Address, Subnetmask, Gateway and DNS-Server.
But you have to configure EXTERNAL DNS-Server on your BA, this one you got from your internet-provider, not the PC to which your BA is connected P2P. And the Gateway is the IP-Adress of your WiFi-card which is built-in in your PC.
Maybe this helps you.

[HELP!] PC network problems when connected with Bluetooth PAN internet sharing.

Hi there, I have a big problem that will force me to downgrade to WM5 if I can't solve it.
Here's the facts:
I don't have a telephone line at home and I'm connecting to internet using a flat GPRS/UMTS connection with Vodafone using my TyTN as bluetooth modem (using the old WM5 DUN profile).
Since I upgraded to WM6 (and I love it) the DUN profile and Wireless Modem has been replaced by Internet Sharing application. It works very fine but it messes up my network connection with my other PC.
I used to share the internet connection this way: the bluetooth modem was connected to my main PC (AMD Sempron). The LAN (manually setted up) on this PC was: 192.168.0.1 / subnet 255.255.255.0. The LAN (manually setted up) on other PC (AMD Athlon) was 192.160.0.10 / subnet 255.255.255.0 / gateway 192.168.0.1. It all worked very fine.
Now as I connect the PAN bluetooth internet sharing my main PC (Sempron) acquires a new network address (the TyTN seems to be automatically setted as 192.168.0.1) so the LAN on the PC is 192.168.0.153 /subnet 255.255.255.0 /gateway 192.160.0.1 and the connection works fine but I'm not able anymore to connect via LAN tothe other PC even if I try different LAN settings on the Athlon (I tried to manually set it as 192.168.0.10 /subnet 255.255.255.0).
Who can tell me how to configure the LAN setting on the 2 PCs so that I can access internet enabling PAN bluetooth on the TyTN with the main PC (Sempron) and still continue accessing remote folders and files via LAN on the other PC (Athlon)?
It would be great if I could share the connection with the 2 PCs like I did before, but I'll be ok if I can connect to internet with one and have a working LAN between the 2 PCs.
Hope I explained it well.
Waiting for suggestions. Thank you!
Pick a machine that is to be the internet gateway. Do this by initiating the BT PAN network on the first machine. On the first machine's IP stack, Enable Internet Connection Sharing. On the second machine, use the first machine's IP as your default gateway.
You should then be able to access the internet from both machines.

Ok, I started the BT PAN on my main machine (AMD Sempron) but how do I enable the connection sharing? When I was using the DUN connection I used the Advanced Options section to enable the Connction Sharing, but where do I find this opzion now?
On a Windows Machine the IP range to be assigned when Internet Connection Sharing is turned on is 192.168.0.x. That is also the range used by Internet Sharing on the phone. This is a routing conflict. You cant have a 0.x being handed out from the phone to the 1st computer and then have that computer handing out 0.x addresses to any other computers. The IP range the Phone hands out needs to be regedited to something else like 192.168.1.x As far as I know, you cannot change the address range in Windows Internet Connection Sharing. You will have to do it on the phone.
If this helps.

internet through USB

hi ,
is it possible to connect my P3300 to the internet through USB that is connected to my desktop with windows ?
thanks in advance
p.s
i read the manuel and it doesn't mention
Hanan
Yes, it is.
Just connect it to your pc. That's it.
Through Active Sync it will automatically recognize an existing internet connection. Works even via Bluetooth. You just neen an Active Sync Partnership with the device and then you connect it the way you want, Internet connection will then be shared

How to share my pc's internet connection with my MDA Compact III??

Hey Everyone,
I have just upgraded my device to Windows Mobile 6 so I had to install Activesync 4.5 and I would like to access my pc's internet connection (which is adsl) when it is connected via USB. But when I connect my device via USB it doesn't seem to have access to internet at all even though it should be automatic as far as I know. I guess some things should be done in settings but don't know what they exactly are. Would you be so kind as to help me by writing every single step I should take to make it work?
I would also like to access my pc's net via Bluetooth but I think it's going to be more difficult to set. I have a bluetooth adapter with Bluesoleil software and I don't know what I should do to synchronize my device with pc via bluetooth using Activesync 4.5. I guess after making it work, accessing my pc's net via Bluetooth wouldn't be a big problem.
I hope you have ideas what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance!
when in settings->networking->usb to pc->enable advanced network functions is checked
and connetions->advanced->select networks is set to my work network
when ever the pda is connected to activesync using usb or bluetooth
the network which is being used is that of the pc
unless the pc is set to otherwise
Thanks for your short reply. I have done as you wrote, but it still doesn't work.
at settings->connections->connections->My work Network there are 4 things:
-Add a new modem connection
-Edit my VPN servers (I have tried to add a VPN server but didn't know the exact settings)
-Set up my proxy server
-Manage existing connections (I have also added a cellular modem connection and *99# is supposed to be dialled but I didn't do any other settings)
So I guess there are things here that should be changed. For example at VPN, what should be the name of the Server? My computer's name? and there's a part at which it requires a Username and a Password and also a Domain marked with a *. What should I write in these fields? The usernam and password that are set to connecting to the internet on my pc or something else?
I might have to check the settings of my as well, I guess. What settings should be checked on it?
Thanks in advance!!!
I might have to check the settings of my pc as well, I guess.*
Sorry I left out a word.
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
dropdownbox is set to my work network
to spell it more out
It is set that way, but it still doesn't work. This is why I think I should change things either on my pc or in My Work Network settings (the 4 menu points I mentioned). But I did everything the way you wrote in your first reply and despite this fact it still doesn't work. So I'm out of idea

Internet Sharing - Bluetooth and Multiple Clients

I'm trying to connect a laptop and a desktop with bluetooth to the internet via my HTC-S620. I have no problems connecting to the internet via Bluetooth or USB but I want a solution for 2 devices to connect.
Even though Bluetooth and PAN seem to be all the rave, especially with support for mobile devices and USB dongles, I much prefer the flexibility and configurability of WIFI. Under XP, and I assume Vista, Internet Connection Sharing easily supports multiple clients. Under WM6 this does not seem possible even though it apparently provides a DHCP server.
If it were possible to somehow to access the internet from the desktop via the laptops Bluetooth that would be OK since the laptop would be gettig internet via USB but XP auto assigns the same IP as WM6 for ICS. Ideally, both the desktop and the laptop would connect to the internet via bluetooth directly.
Anyone know of any free solutions, hacks or applications that might help?
EDIT: Ok I saw a thread over in the Hermes forum where they were able to successfully connect 2 devices to Bluetooth internet sharing by hacking the registry keys HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms
AcceptConnections 0x1(1) to 0x2(2)
MaxConnections 0xA(10) to 0x2(2)
However this hack does not appear to work on the HTC-S620 WM61.

Find my old thread on bluetooth dunn, but did you know that the bluetooth dunn codes are already in the Excalibur 6.1 ROM by Kavana and Ricky. You can connect your laptop and PC via bluetooth dunn to the Internet. I now use Kavana's latest 6.1 ROM because of the new Microsoft bluetooth stack. I now have stereo music with surround sound on my Excalibur's. Another thing, you can make phone calls via your BT headset using Microsoft's voice command..............!

I was using Bluetooth on a Windows 2003 Server for Small Business Server. I finally got tired of it disconnecting every few minutes so I use USB and all is ok there. BT PAN works just fine on my XP boxes. When on the road I often would like to have two or more computers share the BT internet. I will look into your suggestion of using DUN instead. Thanks.

Just go to your Communications Manager and select Internet Sharing and follow the prompts from there. Assuming you have BT and drivers on your PC, you should be prompted to pair the devices and establish a BT PAN.
Technology - I tried to find your BT DUN thread by doing a forum search for threads started by "technology" with keywords "bluetooth" and "dun" without success. Can you point my to the thread? Perhaps it was started by someone else.
I was unsuccessful in my attempt to have two clients connect via DUN to my HTC-S620, however, the search for a solution lead to enabling DUN on both my HTC-S620 (T-Mobile Dash with cooked ROM) and my Samsung T409. Both have EDGE data and with the connection teaming capabilites of the Intergate 8.5 software I am able to use both phone modems simultaneously. I have experienced burst speeds of 50.1KB/Sec or 501kB/sec so far.
The Samsung connects to DUN via USB cable and the HTC connects via Bluetooth DUN. Fortunately, I was able to configure the HTC USB Activesync connection as the internal network. I used a laptop that was disconnected from an ethernet or internal network so using the HTC Activesync connection was a work around. The Intergate software configures two connections for the internal network. One for the Intergate and the other for the Microsoft TCP/IP to access the intergate from the server PC. You can have other PCs use this teamed connection as well when connected and configured for a network setup. This was the final step in getting intergate to work properly. So the HTC is connected both via BT and USB.
Now here is the good part. The HTC has T-mobile Total Internet $19.99 but the Samsung has only T-mobile Web $5.99. I was able to configure the DUN settings and initialization strings on both modems for the T-mobile Web proxy (wap.voicestream.com) and (216.155.165.50:8080). The trick here was to configure Intergate to use the T-Mobile Total Internet connection as the primary or default connection. Subsequently, the Intergate connection teaming software is able to team both and where possible utilize both connections. The T-Mobile web connections can only use unblocked ports but it kicks in for port 80 and the other unblocked ports.
Connection teaming will only increase your available bandwidth with when there are multiple connections. So streaming and the like will see no improvement but surfing, downloading and other applications will see better overall performance.
Sweet!
