Orbit connecting to Apple Powerbook - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Does anyone know if i can connect successfully my o2 Orbit to my Apple Powerbook, as i want to connect to the internet via GPRS?
Also will i need a certain program to make this work?

I know you would need to connect it as a modem.
But I know I have had problems trying to connect my Orbit to my MacBook.
It doesn't see it as a modem.
If anybody else knows how, I would be very interested.

Orbit 2 Mac
Connected mine using the missing sync and works fine. No tried as a modem though as no need.

Activesync with No Partnership

Hi Everyone.
Ive got my O2 XDA Orbit configured to sync my mail and Calendar etc from my Exchange Server at work. If I use GPRS or WIFI, this works a treat. However, I have a couple of locations where WIFI isnt available, but a USB connection to a PC is. Rather than setup a partnership at these places (I dont need to sync anything locally with the PCs), I want to use the internet connection on the PC to connect. Im sure that with my old EXEC, when I connected it to the USB port, it went right ahead and synced through the internet with Exchange, but this machine never seems to start doing so.
I have disabled partnerships on the PCs so that I dont have to click "Guest" each time I connect it. when the USB is connected, Activesync will not work at all on the Orbit.
I know youre all cleverer than me, does anyone know why this happens?

Question Re: Live Messenger Connection

Ok I have searched in this forum for my problem but no clear cut solution found so far.
I am really hoping that someone could help here.
My windows live messenger will only connect through GPRS/3G.
It will not connect through wifi/wlan no matter what.
I have tried all the different methods of changing connections to "My work network" as well as pressing the cancel bubble when it initiates the connection and nothing really works.
Does anybody know of any solution to this.
If not where can i get the old msn messenger from?
Thanks in advance
I dont think it's strictly true it only connects through 3g/gprs.
When my phone is connected to my PC via ActiveSync on the USB cable I can connect to Windows Live as well...
I do remember someone else reporting problems with WiFi though. Try looking back through older messages in this forum
Phew, at last someone is interested in looking at this.
I have tried signing in when I am connected to my PC and it worked. The connection bubble to GPRS came up and I cancelled right away so it used the PC to connect.
However WIFI is still impossible on my softbank. If anyone else finds an answer please share it with us.
You know, I have the same problem. Live messenger won't connect over wifi. However, my problem doing it is with my Wizard, not Hermes.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to change depending on what ROM I flash to it. Meaning, I'll install one person's cooked version of WM6, and I can connect WLM without an issue over wifi. But I may try someone else's and that verion won't. So, my thought is that it may be a problem with either a specific build of Windows Live, or a specific build of WM6. Unfortunately I haven't been able to narrow it down to a particular one yet.

WM5 Wireless Modem for WM6?

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.

Access internet from PC via PDA's WiFi - proof of concept

When your PDA is connected to a wireless WiFi (not cellular) network, it is possible to "share" this connection with your PC. Thus you can browse the web on your PC by using the PDA's WiFi.
The connection sharing is done by two programs: WMTunnel and SerialTunnel. WMTunnel runs on the PDA and connects to the internet. SerialTunnel runs on a PC and acts as a "gateway" by accepting connections from your web browser and forwarding them to WMTunnel. Both are connected to each other via serial line (real COM port or Bluetooth SPP).
More detailed explanation: HERE
Really dont want to piss on your fire but have you seen chainfire's WMWifiRouter? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152
As far as i know, wmwifirouter acts like a wifi access point and shares the cellular data connection.
My software shares the wifi connection.

WiFi Router is the best program to do what you want to do Go For It!
the dude means using your device as a dongle for maybe a laptop that has no wi fi
Gotta read the posts before responding. WifiRouter will not do what he's talking about.
I can't get it to work with WM5 SP and also does this work with USB to Smartphone instead of bluetooth?
Yes, it will work fine using USB. You can ignore the steps using Bluesoleil since that is for BT SPPIO.
Im trying to run WMTunnel but I get a error. This is on WM5 Smartphones.
And what's the port number for the USB?

Hi. Smartphone version will be available later.
It won't work over USB. (Serial port or BT SPP is required)
Run a search on this site for "INTERNETSHARING"
internet sharing...

Awesome, it does exactly what it says on the 'tin'. I've just bought myself an iPod Touch and using this software, I can use my 3G connection on my HTC Trinity to download from iTunes or surf the net on the iPod, if I happen to be in a non-wifi hotspot. Its like have a 3G iPhone, before they are released and without the tie in to O2.
This thread is chalk full of stupid. It's as if nobody is actually reading the title of the thread or the first post. wtf?
Does anyone know if this is possible, sometimes my router decides to break all the wired connections, and just doesnt work for no apparent reason whatsoever, but the WiFi works fine.
It would be nice to still be able to use the 'net when this happens.
Cheers, Mike.

How is that smartphone usb version coming along?
New program?
sorry for resurrecting an old post...
Anyone write any new programs like the one Znos wrote about? Or does anyone have access to the old files?
I tried downloading from the my.opera link that Znos gave, but continuously get an "access forbidden" message.
Thanks!
what exactly are you trying to download that you get the error msg?
i downloaded the wmtunnel and serialtunnel_setup just fine
does anyone know if that be used as a wifi adapter for the xbox 360? it would be a good use for an old apache i have laying around
What link?
Those are exactly the files that I'm trying to download and am receiving an "access forbidden" message.
What download link did you use?
the only ones i saw... near the bottom of the page...
