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.

I've been looking endlessly to find out how to share my internet connection with my mobile device over an adhoc wifi connection. I know most will say get router as they are very cheap but there must be a way to do this without a router.
I have enabled ICS on my internet connection in vista but the IP's that are assigned to both the pc and mobile connection when the devices are connected are temporary in the range of 169.x.x.x
The bright side of things is that I can share files seamlessly between the pc and the mobile device, which means all is good except for the internet. There must be a way to bind the device's ip to enable it to share the internet of the PC.
I have searched and searched and I have found nothing. Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, in other words HEEELLLPPP
You need to bridge the Wi-Fi and internet connection. You do this in Control Panel, Network & Sharing Center then 'Manage Network Connections' on the left hand side.
A new page will open showing your internet connection and your wireless connection. Hold down shift and left click on each of them. Next right click on one of the icons and select 'Bridge Connections'
Thanks MaskedMarauder, sadly though my broadband internet connection is through a dialup and hence I cannot bridge the dialup and the wireless connection. If that only can be done somehow, the problem would most definitely be solved.
Thanks for your help.
the way ya doin it with ICS will work. you need to goto properties/advanced...Internet connection sharing and hit the settings button..then tick the DHCP boxes, that will broadcast the IP so ya winmobile will get a DHCP IP address. thats for XP but it should be pretty similiar. I was having heaps of probs getting ics to work adhoc...
you may need to re setup ICS thou, because it wont work unless it uses the IP given when ya first set it up, eg. you cant have manually setup IP addresses in the wifi card.
Thanks Speedn, it looks like you've been through what I'm going through now. Unfortunately again on vista there's no way to adjust the DHCP for ics. I remember having similiar problems on xp but I've resorted to setting the ip's manually and all worked fine, downside was that I had to manually undo everything to connect to a regular access point. On vista that doesn't work though.
Vista is certainly doing something weird here with assigning the ip's.
Thanks anyway for your input.
Hi Guys,
either I dont know how to search or there is no info on VPN on the forum(I probably dont know how to search) In any case. I need assistance. How do I setup a VPN on my TyTn running WM6 and also how do I get remote desktop client? I am sure this was around previously. Did MS remove it from WM6? Or was it HTC? It this is the case.. how can one get it back?
thanks!
here's remote desktop. How do you use it? I don't know how to set it up.
thanks!!!!
now for VPN....
cheers!
The remote desktop client is available in several places in this forum for download.
To set up a VPN:
add a new VPN server connection
enter the name / ip of the server you want to connect to
select the vpn type -- ipsec or pptp
next
enter your user name and password
finish
The only way I have found to connect to the von is to goto
Start-Settings-connections-connections-edit my vpn servers- -- tap & hold MY VPN
select connect
you must be using a plan that assigns you a public IP (not WAP)
hope this helps

Click to expand...

Thanks cmccarter, done it but how will I know I am connected.. It does not say connected anywhere that I can see and when clicking/hold on the item it gives me the option to connect again, not disconnect as I would have thought The other thing is terminal server does not connect. It connects fine on USB. VPN/Remote desktop connects fine using normal internet on pc from outside the network. So I believe the network settings are fine.. How would I know though if I am on WAP or get an IP. Also ow would I know if the VPN is connected?
thanks
fyi
i also have struggled getting rdp to work over a vpn, in particular over 3+/hsdpa
the only i found in wm5 was to add the vpn connect to the exceptions list of the connection manager, so that it didnt disconnect the vpn whem connecting the rdp.
this occurs more when u use an ip address to connect to a work intranet.
suppose if u use the dns name of the machine and not the ip address then it isnt that much of an issue. in wm5 when u put the ip address in it assumes a an internet rather than intranet connection so it disconnects the vpn to look for the ip over the internet
putting the ip into exceptions forced wm5 to not disconnect it when rdp was looking for it.
i cudnt get it to work this way in wm6 so i am also looking for an answer on this.
rdp to my servers when they have crashed and i am on the road wud b wonderful....
Hi,
I've a similar problem.
I use a VPN-1 SecuRemote that normally connect my PC directly to the company network.
Well, using the share modem tool, I'm not able to reach the gateway.
the share modem system give me a private IP that establish a connection between PC and TYTN.
This connection use the Tytn like a gateway to navigate in internet.
Someone know to solve this issue?
Tanks a lot
if i select start the vpn connection, nothing happens - and i can`t ping the IP`s in the VPN. so i think the vpn ist not open - OR the routing entrie is missing....
is there some shiny "pptp - standalone" client?
greets, Nik
for some reason i dont think the vpn option works over 3g/hsdpa, atleast not on my device using t-mob web and walk.
if i connect the vpn when using wifi it connects and everything is fine, if i try and connect when i'm already running a 3g connection it doesn't work.
i dont think the radio stack is capible of handling a 3g connection and a vpn connection. we might need to go down the route of getting a seprate wm vpn client.
I have noticed a few people posting about Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) problems with the fantastic new 6.1 ROMS. This is what I discovered:
I was mystified that Internet Sharing was showing as "Connected" on the smartphone but my PC would not get an IP address (some other people report this as getting 0.0.0.0 but that just means that it's not getting an address). Then I realized that my laptop already had an active Internet connection (through WiFi) when I was trying this. So, I disabled my WiFi connection, shut the phone off and then turned it on, and Internet Sharing worked!
I think this is why: I don't remember if this was true in the 6.0 ROMs, but in 6.1, when the phone is connected with the USB cable (and ActiveSync 4.5 is installed) the phone will automatically grab and use the PC's Internet connection. So in this mode if you do any browsing on the phone you are actually using the PC's Internet connection and not the GPRS. So when you try Internet Sharing it creates a "double sharing" problem that keeps you from getting an address on the GPRS network. I think this is a cool feature!
If there is no PC Internet connection then turning on Internet Sharing on the phone works. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I am WiFi connected on the phone. Will Internet Sharing in 6.1 give out the WiFi connection instead of the GPRS connection? Probably not - but it sure would be cool!
Anyway - this is my first post, and here is the signature that I plan to use here:

Kavana and Ricky are AWESOME!!! I love the 6.1 ROMs on my S620 (formerly TMobile Dash) and I can't thank you two enough for providing them.
Sharing phone's WiFi - not quite
So I tried sharing the phone's WiFi connection to the PC.
I know - why bother? Because it's cool!!! (Actually the phone gets really hot when WiFi is turned on.)
Unfortunately, it seems that Internet Sharing (on the phone) will only try to share the GPRS connection. It doesn't list WiFi in the Connect to... box. But it tries! In fact it gave my PC an address on the WiFi network, but it established the actual connection to the GPRS network. I tried turning the phone functions off but this just causes Internet Sharing to fail completely.
Oh, and a note: Internet Sharing will NOT work properly if you have the phone's WiFi turned on. This is because Internet Sharing will connect to the GPRS network but will give you an address on the WiFi network, which means that none of your traffic will route correctly. At least I think that is what's going on.

internet sharing implies pc/ppc sharing only right?
phil_white99,
That is very similar to what I am experiencing. I tried this past evening to disable the onboard network connections of my home pc before I attached my Dash. I then attempted internet sharing, and still only got 0.0.0.0s for an IP.
Have you been successful on sharing your Internet connection on multiple computers?

BlueTooth was the problem.
I finally figured out that I could work around the problem by disabling bluetooth in the comm manager when I need to use Internet connection sharing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-385825.html was what clued me in to the answer.
Hi, first of all sorry for my english...
This is my problem: I have a BA Windows Mobile 2003 and I want to use it like a modem for my laptop (using gprs connection).
I read the wiki Blue Angel as USB Modem but something is not working.
My laptop OS is Microsoft Vista. I can see the "HTC USB Modem" in the modem list and the port selected automatically during installation was COM4 and I don't know how to change it if necessary. If I launch the "USB MODEM Dialer" in my laptop i can't see a modem available (Modem: <No USB Modem>).
The BA is connected to the laptop using the USB cradle.
Someone can help me?
Is there a way to connect the laptop using wifi with the BA and use the the gprs connection to reach internet? I tried WMWifiRouter but it is not compatible with Windows Mobile 2003.
Andrea
hello and welcome to the forum, there are several options for you:
- you could try -=HTC Wifi Router=-, which is much better than wmwifirouter, but might not work with wm2003, sorry i can't test that, i use wm6.5
- and that would be the next thing, why not try and use another rom, nobody forces you to use such an outdated OS, try wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5, you wouldn't have any problems with incompatible software then.
- or, and that might just be the one you'd pick you make up an ad-hoc wlan connection.
the way to do it is:
1. make sure, your pc has all the drivers needed for wireless lan installed
2. ALL of them, forget windows zero config, when it comes to ad-hoc, install all the nifty little tools, you thought, you could live without, because from now on, you can't anymore.
3. then open the tools and make them the default program for managing wireless communication, so that then, when you take the windows wlan search, it does not search for networks, but says, "some other program is managing wlan, windows can't search for networks" or something similar, then you are right and coming closer.
3.a you might have realized, i can't describe all that in detail. i don't know, your wlan device manufacturer, your native language and many other aspects necessary to describe with more detail.
4. on your pc, go to "network connections" right click your wireless device and go to properties.
5. select TCP/IP v4 and click settings
6. set it on manual and choose the following, from top to bottom:
ip 192.168.1.101
snm 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.1.1
dns 192.168.1.1
adns 192.168.1.2
7. go to your device and call up start->settings->connections->network cards, go to the 2nd panel, select the tiaxclwlan(or something like that) and set the ip config on manual and use these settings:
ip 192.168.1.1
snm 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.1.1
dns 192.168.1.1
adns 192.168.1.2
8. having all these things set, you can now start your ad-hoc wlan on your pc, using the manufacturer's tools, which should provide you with an option to set up a new ad-hoc
9. select encryption wep and choose a key according to the regulations of wep keys (13 numbers are just fine i believe)
10. take your BA and start looking for wlans in range, make sure "all networks" is selected, and NOT "just accesspoints"
11. as soon as the network is found, connect and enter the key you picked in 9.
12. as soon as you are connected your gprs connection should be shared with the pc. since i am not an expert when it comes to gprs and i don't have my device with me, because i am at work and just can't re-create the conditions, i had to write this all by heart, maybe there are some inaccuracies, but, as always, there are small things to be determined by intelligent guessing or googling
nice work by the way, making your first post this hard to answer, because you looked up things yourself in before.
with best regards,

Post deleted,
double post
Thank you (a lot) for the long answer!
1) -=HTC Wifi Router=- is not working on WM 2003, i already tried before.
2) (try wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5): i will do it in the future, but I need a fast solution in one/two days. I will try with wm6.5 after holidays
3) I followed what you suggested (not only the nifty little tools, I don't know what they are and where they are). At the end of all I have the laptop and the BA connected wireless, but I can't open gprs connection on the BA. To do it, i usually opened a web page with IE, but if i do it now, IE will try to find the page using wi-fi connection and not trying to open a gprs connection.
The edit button in the forum is not working, so i write another post:
if i go to "Wireless manager" i can connect to gprs and i can see the gprs button green. Then i go to "Wireless LAN management" or something similar (i don't know because I have an italian OS) and i click on "Wireless lan actived" to connect to the laptop. If I go back to Wireless manager i can see the gprs button becoming red and the wlan button becoming green. And i lose the gprs connection.
that is too bad, as mentioned before i am not an expert on gprs, in fact i never used it before, because it is hellishly expensive but i used the other way around often, connect via ad-hoc wlan to a pc, connected to the internet by lan, i even connected to a wlan router once that was not connected to the network, but another client pc, connected to the internet via lan and connected to the router allowed me to go through the router and then through the pc to the net, that was neat, those things are, where i recalled the ad-hoc informations, who would have guessed the BA was as "smart" as preferring the free and faster connection. there must be a way to force it!
i will continue to think about it and hope more senior members have a look into this and maybe advise you on how to do it (although i have to admit, at this point i believe, before a solution is found, more than one or two days might pass by, which makes upgrading a faster alternative again )
Thank you Tony. Tomorrow i will leave home for holiday, and without solution i will be disconnected from internet for 15 days... but when i'll be back i will try to upgrade the operative system.
If someone will be able to give me a hint for my problem... i remeber you that I will go in holiday tomorrow, not exactly now....
