I was using wm 2003 se and when I connected my BA to pc
via usb cable the ba will connect to internet automatically. But
as I upgrade to wm2005, my BA can not connect to internet anymore using the same usb connection. It looks like the pc is treat my BA as a SERVER or NETWORK CARD not a CLIENT.
I want to know how to configure the network to let my BA
share pc internet connection? Many thanks!
1. With my old PDA (Magician) I could browse Internet through my PC using USB cable and ActiveSync. Now, with my Artemis I cannot. Althought it's connected by cable, always tries to go GPRS or EDGE when I open Internet Explorer and go for a web page. What's wrong? (Browsing the web by WiFi goes well, so it's not a problem at home, but there is no wireless LAN in my office.)
2. I can sync my Artemis with PC Outlook software by cable or by Bluetooth without any problem. Would it be possible somehow to sync by WiFi as well? Presumably it would be quicker than Bluetooth.
cheers,
ctibor
For your works PC check what version of Active Sync is installed, I don't have the Orbit but both my HTC Artemis and MDA-CIII will connect and surf the net via a cabled connection - can't comment on sync over Wi-Fi as I have never bothered with it. I find it easier to plug the devices in each night to sync and charge - Mike

You may want to check that Settings>Connections>USB to PC>Enable advanced network funtionality is ticked

Yes, it IS ticked.
But anyway, thanks.
on device
start>settings>connection>wifi>network adapters
set 'my network card connects to' to 'the internet'
on pc
open activesync
file>connection settings
set 'this computer connects to' to 'the internet'
should be all fine then.
hi ,
is it possible to connect my P3300 to the internet through USB that is connected to my desktop with windows ?
thanks in advance
p.s
i read the manuel and it doesn't mention
Hanan
Yes, it is.
Just connect it to your pc. That's it.
Through Active Sync it will automatically recognize an existing internet connection. Works even via Bluetooth. You just neen an Active Sync Partnership with the device and then you connect it the way you want, Internet connection will then be shared
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 guys
i need some help for internet sharing...just because i dont understand how to let it works...
wheni connect and syncronize my pda i try to lunch internet sharing...but it ask me options for usb or bluetooth
with bluetooth i cant use internet (in menu-->BT settings i have my pc but no service in the list)
with USB i have to create a connection (Connection settings-->??) because i have to create a connection...but no usb connection is mentioned in list
maybe i misunderstood internet sharing mean...i can use my PC connection to surf on pda right?
Using your PCs internet connection on your P3300 should be automatic when connected through Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.
The program on your P3300 called 'Internet Connection Sharing' is so you can use the P3300 as a wireless modem and share it's Internet connection with your computer.
I recognise this problem however I have some what other.
If I connect to my PC the PDA is connecting directly by GPRS.
My details are in internet sharing are:
Status: disconnected
PC Connection: USB
Netwerk Connection: T-Mobile Internet
How do I manage that the PDA makes a connection with Internet with only USB and not creates a network connection for which it's trying to connect to by GPRS.
