Hi all, I have been trying out various WM6 crossbow ROMs recently but I need the Wireless Modem program .cab file if anybody can kindly upload it.
Wireless Modem is present in PDAVIET's ROMs but I have problem with it using AvantGo 6.2. Midget's WM6 ROM works alright with AvantGo but since it is a vanila build it doesn't have Wireless Modem.
I was told the new Internet Sharing does similar thing to Wireless Modem but I am more familiar with Wireless Modem. Can anyone out there help please? Thanks!
Have you even tried Internet Sharing?
It's really not hard to work out.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know any link on this forum explaining more about Intnernet Sharing? You know with Wireless Modem you put in *99# with a correct APN to initialize a internet connection. How do you do that with Intnernet Sharing?
When I was trying it the "Network Coonection" dropdown list is empty so I suppose I need to make a connection first. Is it the same number *99# to dial do you know?
It's been about a month since I tried it, I seem to recall it didn't matter what I entered on my laptop as it uses the specific connection you have set-up on your device.
Thanks guys!! I have just worked out how to use Internet Sharing through the "help" on the Universal.
For those who may also want to know how it is actually similiar to wireless modem. First create a internet connection and choose GPRS/3G type. Then it gets to the APN which is the same you can use with wireless modem, in my case it is orangeinternet. Job done!!
This connection will now show up on the list of the Internet Sharing connection. If you use USB and the Universal is connected, you will need to disconnect USB cable first, click connect on the Universal and plug the USB cable back. Same as when you have finished the Internet Sharing, otherwise the PC/Laptop won't recognize the Universal.
Who would have thought reading the help file would help

Dear All
I cannot find the original CD, therefore I cannot install the modem drivers onto my WinXP laptop. The modem drivers are necessary to use my PDA (Orange SPV 3100 - Hermes 100) to connect to Internet via UMTS - HSDPA
Can somebody help me by emailing these drivers ([email protected]) or posting here or attaching somewhere on Internet?
Thanks a lot
Saulo
I was told that modem drivers are the same for different brands, I mean Orange SPV M3100, or HTC TyTN / XDA trion / MDA Vario II / VPA Compact III / Dopod CHT 9000 / Dopod 838 Pro
Thanks and please help

You shouldn't need modem drivers if using a WM6 rom. Am I understanding the problem? The Internet sharing app uses a virtual network driver that works much better than the old modem drivers. And if you aren't using WM6, upgrade to it. The Internet sharing piece alone is worth the trouble.
I belief installing Activesync 4.5 should be sufficient.
Dear All
On PDA side I have an Orange SPV M3100 (Hermes 100) with WM 2006 Professional: CE OS 5.2.1413 build 17741.0.2.1
I am not sure whether this is a cooked rom or shipped one. I am inclined to believe it is a cooker WM06 rom
On laptop side I have
- ActiveSync 4.5.0 build 5096: it works greatly
- winXP SP2
Now my question is: WinXP does not see my Hermes as a 3G UMTS or HSDPA modem. Therefore I am unable to use my Hermes to connect to Internet.
My APN is set correctly, on the Hermes side: I called my UMTS-HSDPA operator and set my device accordingly. But the 3G operator also told me to contact HTC or Orange to download the modem driver to make it accessible by my laptop. ActiveSync 4.5 alone does not suffice, since it is only for sync purposes. In other word currently:
- If my laptop is already connected to Internet (e.g. via LAN or WiFi) then my Hermes can ALSO connect to Internet, via ActiveSync 4.5
- Viceversa, if my Hermes establishes a 3G connection, or GPRS connection, my laptop CANNOT use it to access internet.
If you know how to solve this problem I would greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Saulo
i have winxp pro with AS 4.5 ... and all i have to do is turn on internet sharing on my phone, plug in the cable and im done.. the computer will automatically recognize the phone as a network connection.. and i have tried this on a computer without AS and the computer wouldnt recognize the phone, so it appears that activesync is necessary for sharing (it doesnt sync with internet sharing on, but i believe AS has the drivers that are needed)
By the way I have 2 Italian GSM-UMTS-HSDPA operators: Vodafone and Tim
I have tried. I have set correctly their APN settings: (for tim is ibox.tim.it)
While on Hermes side everything seems fine, (for example Pocket Internet Explorer can open web pages) my laptop cannot use Hermes to access internet, even if ActiveSync connections is established and working (hermes synchronized)
Please help
On Phone goto:
Start ~> Programs ~> Internet Sharing
you should have no problems.

on laptop clik activesync icon in the bar and from "setting connections" disable "allow uSB connection"
then do on ppc what Custel abowe wrote
Thanks to all of you!
Following your suggestions now I can connect using my USB link, between Hermes 100 and my laptop, running WinXP.
I did it by first upgrading to Schap WM06 3.3c
Then making the few steps outlined above
My next question is: was anyone succesfull in using Bluetooth, instead of USB link?
I mean, is it possible to access Internet, via Hermes 100 3G-UMTS-HSDPA connection, by connecting laptop and Hermes via Bluetooth?
Thanks again
Saulo866
By the way I noticed that if you use activesync USB link (you do not need to disable USB connection!) that what happens is:
- if you browse internet in your laptop by using Hermes 100 as a UMTS/HSDPA modem the syncing between laptop and Hermes goes down, stops: the device works as a modem but any synchronization stops working. In other words you cannot perform any synchronization (via activesync) or any other operation, like file transfer, while using activesync as a usb-type-link between laptop and Hermes.
Am I right?
Why is that? I mean why cannot I sync my device (or transfer files) and at the same time use my hermes as a 3g-modem for my laptop?
Thanks
Saulo
any clue why this happens? I mean why you cannot sync and browse internet at the same time?
After connecting to the internet via internet sharing, I re-enabled "Allow USB connections" in AS4.5 nut it still wouldn't sync. I guess at the moment we have to be contented with internet sharing w/o being able to sync Hermes and our computer.
A bit OT but has anyone successfully connected to the internet via internet sharing in Vista?
Yes
Yes I have been using Internet Sharing with windows vista successfully. Once it connects there are no problems BUT it doesn always readily connect and often requires a software reset .
I have WM6 Schap's 3.57 on my hermes 300. The internet sharing works great but when I've disconnected my GSM connection while I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network and I try to use "Internet Sharing" I get the message on my phone: "Cannot connect. Ensure that your phone is correctly configured, service is available, and that flight mode is turned off before trying again."
Probably WM thinks I'm in flight mode altough Wi-Fi is connected.
Is there a way around this?
How can you tell if the phone is using the WiFi connection instead of HSPDA/GPRS/EDGE? (Roaming is a bit expensive)
The USB-modem driver worked with WM5. When I start the "Modem Link" program, windows says it found new hardware. I've installed the driver I used with WM5. I tried using it by calling *99# but it didln't work. Should I call a different number with WM6?
Anyone the same problems and/or solutions?
It does work great indeed.. Internet connection sharing..
Except.. when you want to connect to a VPN.
I never had issues with using WM5/Black as modem. But now.. in the HTC Wm6 (official one) only Internet Sharing is left.
Does anyone have a solution for the VPN connection?
Thanks all!

I have successfully connected to the interrnet via the blutetooth connection.
In your Hermes, select "Bluetooth PAN' instead of USB under the "Internet Sharing" "PC Connection".
In your PC, click on the "Join a Persoonal Area Network" under the bluetooth option and slect your device and you are done.
PS: Your device must be paired first.
I've had the same issue when connecting to my companies VPN, I had to connect to the Tytn via Internet Sharing via Bluetooth to use the VPN.

Hi, Ihave installed the new official rom but now I have this problem:
On my computer on the bluetooth icon I add the TyTN but when I try to create a remote connection I don't find the "com port" to strat the connection.
In the modem option the TyTN is not present.
Someone can help me?
Thank you
Sounds like the official ROM doesn't support DUN. Use Internet sharing option instead. TyTN should show up as a Bluetooth PAN device. YMMV depending on who makes your laptop BT stack.

BROTHER .. HOW TELL ME HOW U DO IT ... COZ I AM SEARCHING A LOT ABOUT IT
PLEASE ... I SHALL BE VERY THANFUL TO UR KINDNESS.... !
Hello,
I did a search and didnt find much, I also checked on Wiki and they explain how to use it as a modem via bluetooth dial up networking. I would like to use the bluetooth PAN feature in Internet Sharing but cant get it to work.
Firstly, I got the bluetooth dongle connected with the Bluetooth PAN. It tells me that they are connected and communicating with each other, the bluetooth software (bluesoleil) even provides me with an ip address, however when I try browsing on my laptop I get the message page cannot be displayed...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why it does not work?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Seems like when the connection is established it gives the windows bluetooth adapter a weird ip address
like: 169.254.6.198
but I checked in network adapters of the 8525 everything is set for ip addresses to be assigned automatically .. strange..
in windows xp its also set to assign the ip address automatically :S
im not sure what else to do..
Launch Internet Sharing on your Hermes & set the PC connection to bleutooth PAN. Now, make sure the Network Connection is set to your correct data connectiion and press connect. It should say "Waiting for connection" Next, connect your PC & Internet Sharing should show "Connected". If you still can't surf then its a bluetooth driver issue on your PC. The built in M$ bluetooth stack (XP SP2 & >)works correctly with bluetooth PAN for sure. YMMV on others. The latest Toshiba BT stack definitely works too (based on pesonal experience).

Hey,
Thats exactly what I did, and it gets connected on both ends..assigns a weird ip address.
I tried a few Roms, but now I am using urs the latest one dev 3.2
Always was a fan of your roms, but I cant get that bluetooth pan to work.
I also tried with WIDCOMM and Bluesoleil...
I get no where..

Which bluetooth dongle you used...just curious?
Which chipset?
Ok, guys, got the problem resolved..it was the sucky bluetooth adapter from ebay "ISSC bluetooth adapter", piece of crap.. went to walmart got a usb 2.0 device for 25$ and all is well now.
Saw some earlier posts on this but haven't seen where anyone has figured out how to get the old WM5 wireless modem on WM6. Has that been done? For my applicaiton the new internet sharing simply won't work - or I haven't figured out how to get it to work anyway. I can connect to internet sharing just fine. I can get on the web and all works. However I have a tunnel application for my job that I need to use through the cell phone connection. When I start this applicaiton, the PC gives me the blue screen of death. It is repeatable. Doesn't happen with the WM5 wireless modem connection or any other connection to the internet I have ever tried - just this new internet sharing thing on WM6. I actually use the USB link so it isn't a bluetooth issue. Just something in the internet sharing that blows my PC up. Any thoughts would be appreciated - or a method to install the wirless modem on WM6. I'm using the standard ATT upgrade ROM - stock model.
Thanks.
