Hi
I've seen somewhere on this forum a registry key which stops Activesync disconnecting the 3G data connection when it connects to the PC.
I re-flashed my phone and I can't find the setting again. Can someone please help me find it?
Thanks
maaron.

With the latest version of Activesync or WMDC, its an option when you set up the relationship.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure I explained my problem properly, think you may be refering to a different option.
My problem is that I have Internet Calling on my handset over 3G but when I connect the USB cable, the data connection on the handset is dropped and routed through PC. I found a registry change which enabled the handset to pair up with activesync but without dropping the 3G connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
yes i need this also, tried searching too many results

I MUST WRITE IN CAPS SINCE YOU FAILED TO READ THE OTHER POST.
THE ONLY WAY TO ALLOW A DATA CONNECTION IS TO DELETE YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PC.
THEN SET UP A NEW ONE.
WHEN IT ASKS YOU AT THE LAST STEP IF YOU WANT TO ALLOW ANY DATA CONNECTIONS CHECK THE BOX.

Well, thank you for your extremely helpful reply, BUT YES, I DID READ THE POST! Shouting like that really does not help you, me or this community....
As I mentioned in both of my previous posts, I am looking for a REGISTRY KEY. If you had bothered to read them, you'd know I am not looking for a setting in Activesync or WMDC.
As I said previously, there is a registry setting which enables the handset to keep the data connection. It doesn't matter what version of Activesync you use or how you set up the relationship.
I know this because I have done it before after reading a post in this forum.
If anyone knows what this key is, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks again
maaron.

Regardless of whether he shouted or not, there is the possibility that he's right.
Go to File ---> Connection Settings in AS and check the box that says "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop" and that should do what you want and no, you don't need to delete the partnership to do this.
I've not seen a registry setting that achieves this but at least give it a try before the pair of you get into a **** fight.
Smiffy.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have looked there and that setting is already checked. Once connected to Activesync, the handset can re-connect over 3G if it tries but it still looses connection when it initially pairs up.
What I am trying to achieve is a 'nailed-up' 3G connection otherwise it upsets the connection with my VOIP provider and I loose the ability to receive incoming VOIP calls. I then need to turn Internet Calling off then back on again to fix it. When I used this mystery registry setting, I could connect and disconnect as needed without a problem.
Have you checked your settings tab.
Maybe Data connection is off.

As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .
Thank you.

Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.
Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.
The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.
Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!
SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!

Hey guys, I just recently got my Softbank and upgraded to WM6 this morning. All is good except for my WiFi. The phone is able to connect to my router but when I try to go to sites with IE it gives me this error:

Sites show up fine with EDGE, but IE does not show sites via WiFi. Router even shwos the phone connected to it and that an IP is assigned.
Excuse my ignorance, I am new and any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

I tried the settings and still no go. I'm using a Linksys router and I have it set up to where the router assigns the phone a specific IP. According to the router, the phone is connected and according to the phone, the phone is connected. Should the GPRS(EDGE) be active and connected at the same time? Cause it is, how do I manually disable it? I feel really stupid if this is why.
prodigalfish: Is that cab only for use with cingular network? I'm on tmobile network, so I'm not sure if I could use that cab. I will do a hard reset though, haven't tried that yet.
Yes It does matter....

TURN IT OFF!!!
Inside of activesync you must tell it allow wireless / data connection. If you press and hold the hangup red button the GRPS connection will drop. You can also turn it off in the comm manager.
Did you ever solve this problem as I am having exactly the same the one.
1. Wifi works fine, can transfer files over the network, Skype connects etc
2. Only PIE (PIEPlus) does not connect to web pages.
I have done everything mentioned here. Hmm

My guess is that the version of PIE you are using (or PIEPlus) has a hard-coded proxy address that your device cannot reach. I use Opera myself, works much better than PIE (IMHO).

Have you tried changing the authentication to Shared instead of Open?
This worked for me.

How to change MTU value for my Yoigo connection?
Hi pof
Do you know if any utility can manage MTU value?, I need to change this value because "Yoigo" uses an unusual lower value (472) and Live MSN, Hotmail, .. don't works in GPRS/3G connection.
I have been reading people who have edit registry and have solved this problem, if you can help me please let me know.

I managed to change mine without going to the registry.
Go to
Settings -> Wifi -> Network Adapters -> Remote-NDIS Host
The default range is 192.168.0.0/24
I changed mine to 192.168.3.0/24 by keying IP address as 192.168.3.1 and 255.255.255.0 for netmask. the hermes will act as the DHCP server at address 192.168.3.1
Changing the IP range with RNDIS...
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! I have managed to find so many things on my own, but this, my friend, is the one things that has been annoying the heck out of me, and you posted this so long ago, I hope you get a kudos for it. I got bluetooth to change ranges in the registry, but never would have thought this would work.
And the reason I needed it, I have been bouncing home to home, and no internet provider, so I need to use connection sharing to get to my router through a spare NIC on my PC so my VoIP phone would work. I was using the battery eating Bluetooth, but now, thanks to wonderful helpful, inquisitive people like you, I have the range I need, and it works flawless now, without killing the battery, and without the latency jitter I had before. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. If you need ANY kind of other help with this phone (Mogul/PPC6800) let me know what you need, I probably know it all by now. YOU ROCK!
thanks for the pointers folks--worked after deleting forcecellconnection. haven't run into the " 'enable' gets set to 0 and kills connection" thing yet... maybe I haven't gotten greedy enough yet (connection time). Any further details on this, or on ATT going all draconian on our collective butts? this will be sweet on roadtrips.
That's a shame this does not exist anymore in windows mobile 6.5.
I have a HTC HD2 and I also want to change the IP range for RNDIS connection as I already use 192.168.0.0./24 at work.
Any idea how this could be done with wm6.5 ? Couldn't find anything in the registry.
Thanks in advance.
I finally found a registry entry that could do the thing :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\Tcpip]
"IPAddress"="192.168.0.1"
"SubnetMask"="255.255.255.0"
"EnableDHCP"=dword:0
"DhcpMaxRetry"=dword:ffffffff
By default, the key "IPAddress" does not exist, that's why I couldn't find it by doing a 192.168 search in the registry ...
I will try to add this key and change its value to 192.168.5.1 for instance.
Hope this helps.
Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Hi,
I've got a PC, a laptop with wifi and my Artemis.
Now, I connect to the internet on my PC through cable, and I use Activesync (through USB) to do internet-stuffs on my phone.
But now I'd like to share the internet on the phone through wifi with my laptop?
Is this possible?
I've seen the hack to change the internet sharing "PC connection" from bluetooth to wifi (regedithack Privateinterface), but the "network connection" only shows my GPRS-connection, not Activesync.
How can I change that?
I *assume* I need to change the registry-key for PublicInterface?
But into what do I need to change it?
Or do I need some kind of proxy-software or something?
Nobody has an idea?
help
hey man i'd like to know that too, if you figured it out some way please tell me how to do it, thank you.
i would also like to know.
Me too, but i think its imposible w/o additional software on ppc.
I'd be really glad to hear there's a solution to this too, as I need to use Activesync simultaneously with allowing internet access to my laptop (would save me a few bob on mobile BB when I'm out in the car).
