thanks

USB cable + Internet Sharing. Works like a charm.

yeah i know that but i want to know what i m supposed to be doing after i m done hooking the phone with the laptop using a usb cable ???????

just plug it in
all you have to is plug the usb into phone amd then go to start menu /accesories and click internet sharing. it should connect if you are having problems check these thingsgo into activesync on desktop amd connection setting make sure the box is check that allows networking. also you can go into setting/connections then click more and click on usb to pc, and enable advanced network capabilities. lastyl close active completely ctr+alt+del process and kill wescom,rapi,and one u should see it. give it another try. it is super simple no drivers needed

Turn off Activesync ? (use USB w/o Activesync)

How can leave my Dash connected to the PC/USB but turn off Activesync (4.5) ?
The reason to do this is to allow my Dash to charge off the USB while I am using its WiFi connection (whenever I connect the Dash up to the USB, Activesync jumps in and that shuts down the WiFi connection).
Thanks.
Just check that you haven't configured an AS profile for your device or delete the configured one.
Try "WM5torage"
Makes your device a usb mass storage device and stop AS doing it's stuff. It does make your card unreadable by other software while running so you may want to bear that in mind when doing whatever your doing with your wireless.
Can't you just go into the connection settings in ActiveSync and disable the USB connection?

Yes, that does work. Thanks... its what I want to have happen...
OK I haven't tried this myself ( I do Wm5torage) but here's another link:

There's loads of other useful stuff at that site as well.

share intenet TO my HD through USB and Activesync?

HI
I'm trying to share internet using the USB cable and activesync, I already configured my internet connection to share it with the new "local area connection" created when the HD is plugged in, but it doesn't work!
and by the way my computer has an IP:192.168.1.X, but the local area connection has an IP:192.168.2.X
really I even don't know if this is possible, but I did it with my old palm then I thought it can be possible.
thanks!
Using usb or bluetooth with activesync will share in automatic the PC internet connection without the need to set internet connection sharing on the pc

Either with OR without my HD can't see the internet connection on PC with active sync over USB.
Huh
I just plug my HTC Touch HD into the usb port and select "Internet sharing" and it comes up straight away, even works from scratch on windows 7 cos i tested it!

htc accessing internet through USB cable

Fellows.
I was digging into the search an could find nothing about it.
I had my excalibur working properly and after a hard reset, I was unable to reactivate this function.
I'm telling about use USB cable to share PC internet connection to HTC. I mean, navigate over the internet (with HTC) using USB cable conection instead of WIFI or GPRS alike.
When I sync my mobile, it automatically disables the WIFI connection, but I can't navigate just through USB connection.
Any thoughts?
thanks

Connecting to internet via PC

Hi,
Can we connect our HTC Desire to a PC via USB cable, and then connect to the internet via that PC internet connection?
We are able to use this way on Windows Mobile 6.x + Microsoft ActiveSync.
Thanks.
I think so, please try the following:
* Make sure you have installed HTC Sync first and have your SIM card inserted in your phone.
1. Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. On the Connect to PC screen, select Internet sharing, and then tap Done.
Hope that works.

I am wondering, if I have mobile broadband card that I use to catch 3G internet...could I attach the Desire via USB cable to my laptop and share the internet connection between both my laptop and phone?
Not tethering (using phone's internet as main internet source for computer) rather -
Mobile Broadband Card ----> Laptop & Desire?

I'm not entirely sure this would work as the phone might resort to using it's own variety of data plans.

Well...I have been wondering if you could share the internet connection from a broadband card between a laptop and mobile phone (connected via USB cable). I guess I will just have to try it out when my phone gets here.
That is the other way around
You have described phone internet sharing or tethering.
What I meant is like this:
1. Your desktop PC is connected to internet
2. Connect your phone to the PC using USB cable
3. You can now browse the internet in your phone ... using internet connection from the PC.
Reverse tethering. We can do this with WM + ActivySync (I dont remember the exact option).
Well, we can forget about this ... I have searched last night and Android simply cant do it.
Why we need this? Sometimes, at work, we cant connect our phone to the office WiFi and 3G is not available.

I also have this need.
In case HTC ships updates on-the-air it would be much better not to lose some of the limited 2GB data plan per month I have.
Can you not just set up your pc as a wifi access point and the connect your phone via wifi?
That is a way, creating wifi adhoc, but sometimes you cant (restricted by security policy).

Screw security policy! ;?P
Using a adhoc connection would be the simplest (and best?). But if you can't (not allowed) to set up a adhoc connection, you could (unless bridging is forbidden, but then tere's not much you can do..) connect a wifi router/ap to your ethernet card (if it's in use, use a USB-version). Bridge your network connection with the ethernet card and the router/ap and then connect to that..
A long shot? Perhaps! But it should work. If you set the ap to not broadcast its SSID it's harder for others to detect..
And you should be able to run a router/ap on batteries..
Just an idea.. :?D

Yes, i understand what you mean now, this feature was available on WM and ActiveSync... i remember setting it up while going through the ActiveSync Wizard, but AFAIK, i could not find a similar option for this with the Desire
EDIT: Could you not try setting up Ad-hoc mode on phone and PC (the PC will have a wireless network adaptor), then turn Internet Connection Sharing on in Windows, and connect the phone to the PC?
I did, but it does not work with my work laptop. Probably restricted.
But I found a WiFi access point already Installed by my co-worker ...
Well, this feature is not really important, but useful ...

I agree and it's a shame... this was useful when I had it working on my WM device.

Could someone please explain how to do this. I can see how to set up the ad-hoc network and to set it allow internet sharing. But a wi-fi scan on my HTC Desire does not find the network.
unfortunately reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which quite frankly is very annoying, hopwfully they will fix this in an upcoming ROM or something.

I don't think that there is a way to do this at the moment with out flashing a Rom, however I'm using RCMix S GingerSense Rom, it seems that HTC Sense version 2.1 has added "internet pass-through" as a option when you plug the phone into a PC, however will HTC leave this in if/when they do an official release I don't know.

Yeah, if you install a sense 2.0 or 2.1 Rom it has an internet pass through option which allows you do do that

[Q] Ethernet "Greyed Out"

Recently I bought a micro USB to LAN adapter for the 8.4 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Mbps-Ethernet-Adapter-Tablet/dp/B00AKXE59E/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1399975910&sr=1-1&keywords=lan+to+micro+usb+adapter
But, when I connect to to my router, I'm unable to connect to the internet via LAN as "Ethernet" is always greyed out in the menu.
I'm pretty sure in the past when I connected a laptop, I just plugged in it and away it went.
So I don't think I need to alter anything on the router.
Is there a way or enabling LAN on the tablet, should it self enable when the cable is connected or is the adapter not suitable ?
Thank you.

Never mind, yet another request for help unanswered.
Anyone ?
I did the same and after a few days of trying to connect it finally worked - for one day! Now the ethernet option is greyed out again, so it does not seem to be the gadget but the tablet. Also had been using an external keyboard and mouse which quit at the same time. So much easier to troubleshoot a real computer. You just dont have access to anything but the 'user friendly' interface with these devices!
