I have tried this already, this just routes ad-hoc (computer to Computer) wifi connection, the wifi I connect to is infrastructure. I need to use the wifi in my pda and somehow to use it through the usb port into my vista laptop, like as a wireless receiver or using the pdas wifi whilst its connected. thanks for that route, but been there, unless i'm missing something. please let me know if so. thanks
I see what your trying to do but im not sure you can do that,
I havnt tested it but i would try this:
you could give your PC a static IP and find the PDA's IP when its connected to your laptop via USB, then enter
Attach your PDA to a WiFi network and find its IP, then connect your laptop to the PDA via USB, then give your laptop a static IP in the same subnet as the PDA and give one of the DNS servers as the PDA's IP and the other as the DNS server thAt the PDA has picked up from the WiFi network.
Make sure IE is set to 'automaticlly detect proxy setting'. In my head this should work but i have found what i think and what can actuly happen is VERY different.
Let me know how it gets on or at least post the outcome.
Thank you

WOW! you know ur stuff, but i wouldn't know the first thing about the info you gave me. do a dummies guide and i'll try it. cheers for the info tho.
Hmm, dunno if that would work - no harm in trying though..
If you connect via usb then it will setup from the activsync and the dhcp within it, normally along the lines of 169.254.2.2 - but you would have to use this subnet to switch the laptop too (don't use 1 as that will most probs be the dhcp svr) in order to communicate with the device and this is where I see the problem.
You would only be connecting to the device, u can not use the wireless subnet as you have no connection to this just the pda, so if you set your laptop to the subnet of the wifi by rights the network should just look at you blankly as it will not be able to see past the activsync connection to get to the wifi subnet.
Or at least that's how I'd see it happening.
I think i'll just buy a wireless receiver. lol. haven't got a clue what you are both telling me. thanks anyway. maybe somebody can create a cab with settings if poss, or a program?
would there not be a hack or reg change, which in the wifi-router download at start of thread, which will add or change the ad-hoc connection to infrastructure instead? or would this be impossible? thanks
btw: you a running vista on a laptop which is so old that it doesn't have wifi???
i think you should go for a wifistick (~ 10-15 €?!?)

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.
Greetings, Peter
I had been successfully tethering via Bluetooth with WM6's Internet Sharing function, and was doing so in XP. Well we just took the Vista plunge and I'm having an issue. The Network Connections is showing my BT connection as "Local Only" meaning I can browse other pc's on the network, but I can't get to the internet. My WiFi connection to my router connects to the internet with no problem (The Wireless Connection shows "Local & Internet Access."
So I can not get out to the internet using my Tytn as my connection. I used the "Diagnose Problem" function in Vista, and it tells me that it cannot ping IP address 192.168.0.1. This is the IP address of my router. I don't want it to try to hit that IP address, but I can't find a way to tell it NOT to. All the settings in TCP/IP protocol are set to obtain an IP address automatically. But it seems that even while using BT as the connection, it still wants to get to my router first, even though I'm not using my WiFi at all. I even tried disabling the WiFi connection. Still the same issue.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the pc to stop trying to get my router first?
Thanks!
Tell me about it! It took me an age to find some drivers that worked with my bluetooth, I ended up using the Toshiba stack. After a lot of fiddling I got it working but when it runs it is very hit and miss and I have yet to transfer anything between devices let alone surf the net! Have you tried the bluetooth set up wizard?

The internet sharing function on the TyTn used 192.168.0.1
You are saying that your router is also using the same address range.
That is a no-no. Change the router address to 192.168.1.1, and I think you will see better results.
@boz - Actually I have no issues connecting to Vista via Bluetooth, and all profiles work great (I'm using the latest Broadcomm stack). My issue is in my Network Connections, not BT itself.
@Wildbill - the Tytn is not using 192.168.0.1. The PC is trying to ping that IP address because it is the address of my wireless router, and the first time I ever accessed the net with that pc, I did so via WiFi through my wireless router at home. Now, what I am trying to do though is get on the internet in my car, while nowhere near my wireless router. But my pc still seems to want to get to my router as though I'm trying to connect to the net via Wifi, when I'm actually just trying to get to it through my phone. The PC connects to the phone with no problem, and the phone is connected to the internet, But, my problem is that I can't figure out how to tell my pc to NOT look for my wireless router's IP address first.
BT DUN was so much easier with Cingular. I wish one of the cooks could figure out how to get the DUN profile back into WM6's BT stack.
I am really confused here.
When you use Internet Sharing on the TyTn, You are using the Tytn to allow other devices to access the Internet thru the TyTn.
When you do that, the TyTn hands out the address of 192.168.0.100 and it is the gateway, and the Gateway address is 192.168.0.1.
If you have your home router using the same address range, you have the PC that the Tytn is sharing it's internet connection with seeing to addresses within the same range, and two gateways with the same address - The PC LAN card is seing the router at 192.168.0.1 and the Buetooth PAN is seing the phone gateway at the same 0.1 That is what I was trying to say. It won't work like that.
Oh ok I see what you're saying. I was assuming that when it gave me the error, that it was trying to ping my router since I knew that to be my router's address. I did not realize that the Tytn used such a similar gateway.
To correct what I said in my first post: I said that it was trying to ping "IP address"... the exact error message reads "Connot Communicate with DNS Server 192.168.0.1"
It shows a nifty little diagram of the PC connected to the Cingular Bluetooth network connection, then another line connecting to a picture of earth, which they call "internet," but there is a red "X" over that line showing that it can't connect to internet. When you click on Diagnose problem, the above error message is what comes up.
So now, I need to make sure I understand what you are saying Wildbill. I see what you mean from your post... being that I don't connect to my router anymore, ever, at all (since the pc never comes out of the car anymore, and I'm way out of range of my wireless router even in the driveway) what do I need to change? Everything in TCP/IP protocol settings are set to obtain addresses automatically.
Another interesting thing to note is that I did not have this problem when I had XP in my car, and I connected to my wireless router with that pc too. But Internet sharing worked fine with it.
If the only things connected are the TyTn and a PC, then the PC will obtain an IP from the TyTn, and it will be 192.168.1.100. It will tell the pc that the gateway is 192.168.0.1, which is the TyTn. Since the TyTn has Bluetooth 2.0, I would speculate that you could connect additional BT devices to the same BT PAN, and the TytN would likely hand out additional addreses like 0.101, 0.102, etc. I have not tried that nor have I read about it.
See that's what I gathered too. So I don't know why it can't get out to the internet, unless it's that Vista just won't let it for some reason. This bugs me because Internet Sharing worked fine in XP, and BT DUN works fine with Vista with my other phone. Unfortunately I'm getting rid of that phone. If my Tytn had a DUN profile in the BT stack I'd be fine. Weak.
i tehering in wm6 vista using bluetooth ban
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

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.
Is there some tutorial/help on using hte Remote Desktop Mobile to connect to a PC? I haven't been able to connect TP 2 to my PC running Vista. I put in the Computer name, User name, password, and domain and when I clicked "Connect", it returned an error:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. specified computer name or ip does not exist.
2. A network error occured while establishing connection.
I tried both domain name and ip. Made no difference.
I also tried both on 3G as well as WiFi but it made no difference.
You'll need to set up two things:
set the vista machine to accept the remote connections
http://howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/
forward port 3389 on your router if you have one

Then you should be up and running!

Thanks, mad-tunes. Got it working now, at least when connected by WiFi. And when the phone and the PC are on the same Wifi network, I can connect simply by putting in the computer ip address. No domain is required and no port configuring required too.

Good stuff, glad it helped a bit....
If you can't connect from the outside world (ie, using GPRS), then it's most probably a port forward thing...
If you want to get this bit working: How's the machine you're trying to RDP to connected to the 'net exactly?
(ADSL modem, router etc?)

Yes, the PC is behind the router. So probably woould need to do port forward as you have suggested. Having tested it yet. Would try this out later this week.
I was wondering, is theres a way to do this if youre on a home edition of windows?
the home edition I dont believe has remote desktop.
Remote desktop mobile using 3G connection
Has anyone gotten remote desktop mobile to work using only a 3G connection? I've got it working perfectly using wifi but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it over 3G. I searched and the closest thing I could find to being helpful was the following:
I had the same problem till I created two VPN connections. One for internal use (WiFi) and one for extenal use (3G).
The internal one uses the internal IP address of the VPN server and the external one uses the external IP address.
You have to sleect which connection you want to use before starting the connection depending on whether u r using WiFi or 3G.
Hope that makes sense. It works 4 me.

No. You can only use third party solutions like VNC. RDP host is not included in Home Edition.
You have to go into your router and set up a port forward so that 3389 goes to internal IP address of the system you want to remote into. If you have port forwarding/triggering, you can have a different port (eg, 3390) trigger to 3389 internally. If you don't have port forwarding, you can change the listening port from the default 3389 to, eg, 3390 and then you can create a port forward to remote in that way. To access, add :3390 to the end of the remote address (eg, 64.246.222.91:3390). The registry path to the listening port is:
HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
You must reboot after changing the setting.
If you have a domain, it is incredibly useful to set up DNS for this, then you can simply enter the DNS name in the client. This works internally as well.
Update: So i just went to a Starbucks and tried using the wifi there to connect to my remote desktop and it couldn't connect!? But it can connect when I'm using the same wifi router as my remote computer does this mean I don't have the router properly port forwarded? Or is it some other issue? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
When you use your wifi at home, it ends up in the same IP subnet as the remote computer, so all you need to do is to enter the computer name.
When you're at a hotspot, you need to enter the public IP address for your router and step up port forwarding. Wifi outside of your home is no different from using EVDO as far as IP addressing is concerned. You must enter via public IP.
If you don't know what your public IP address is, open a browser from any computer at home and go to this URL:
http://whatismyip.com
It will tell you what the public IP is.
Cheap Loop-Hole
I got Remote Desktop to work on 3G.
First open Opera (or what ever your default browser is) set a home page to something that takes at least 5-10 second to load (if longer, even better), like an email account or m.myspace.com. Simple sites like m.google.com won't work because they load to quickly.
Close OPERA: I mean make sure its closed not just minimized.
This next part needs to be done rather quickly, so I advise making Remote Desktop a top icon in your Start Menu.
So Launch opera, and quickly launch Remote Desktop and hit connect.
Remote Desktop will piggy back off the Opera browser connection to get out to your computer.
Note: (make sure remote desktop works at home first, either by wifi, blue tooth, or direct usb, and by checking it from a computer outside of your network) once you know it works you should be able to connect to it.
Also note: as some one stated above, make sure that proper ports have been open on the computer and router than you should be good to go.
I'm sure their is a registry fix to get the remote desktop working without doing this, but this is the only way I've been able to do it for now..
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot guys! It's working just fine now (on both wifi and 3G!) turns out I didn't have the router properly port forwarded.
just started trying to figure this out today. spent about 15 minutes but couldnt get it going.
just installed windows7 on my old pc and im trying to get my htc tp2 (rhodium) to work with the preinstalled Remote Desktop Mobile application. i forwarded port 3389 on both tcp and udp since i didnt know which was necessary.
is a static ip necessary to get this setup by going into the ipv4 settings? also, what is the application looking for with the input for "domain"? - subnet mask? default gateway for my home network?
so far i have tried the following inputs in my tp2 for Remote Desktop Moble:
Computer: public ip
User Name: windows7 login name
password: windows 7 login password
domain: ???
any help is appreciated. going to try this more when i get home from work.

network-wise what you need to do depends on how your PC's connected to the 'net...
if it's connected directly via something like a USB ADSL model or Virgin media cable box, then you'll only need to let 3389 through your PCs firewall.
If it's connected via anything like a router, then you'll also have to allow 3389 through your routers firewall, as well as forwarding port 3389 to your machine inside your network.
it's the port forwarding which needs the internal IP of your PC, so a static one's a good idea (otherwise, if your PCs internal IP address changes it'll stop working). you could set your router to always hand the same IP to your PC MAC address, which can be the best of both worlds (and how I do it).
http://www.portforward.coms a good place to start to find how to forward ports for your router if you're using one..
You also have to go to control panel>system>advanced system settings>remote and set things as you need in the 'remote desktop' section.
if you don't have the 'remote desktop' section, then you're running one of the home versions of the OS which doesn't support Remote desktop conenctions (out of the box )
re domains...if its a normal home PC and nothing to do with a business, then you wont have to enter one at all.
Once you're at home, get your TP2 on your internal network (wifi), and then try to rdp to your machine using its INTERNAL ip (192.168.*.*) and see if that works.
if it does, the PC end's fine and it's your router config you need to get right. if it doesnt, then its something at the PC..
post back here if you still have trouble..
ok, so connecting with the tp2 via 192.xxx.x.x works fine from within the network at home on wifi.
however, once i try and connect with the public ip, it doesnt work. did the port forwarding thing.
i setup the static ip, i tried putting the host pc in the dmz, and still nothing. i tried disabling the host pc's firewall, and nothing.
in remote desktop mobile, im putting in the public ip of the host pc, and have tried filling in the username and password fields, and also tried leaving them blank.
any ideas?

if its workin from inside your network, your PCs set just fine...so it must be the firewall or port forward on your router...
double-check that 3389s alowed through its firewall
and
the forwards set to point UPD+TCP on port 3389 to the current internal IP of your PC.
tbh, I cant think of much else but let me know how you get on
ah, got it working. had to forward from ANY -> 3389, not 3389->3389. duh. works now.
thanks guys
Strange, you shouldn't have had to. RDP defaults to 3389 so the client should be using that from the word go (I know mine do!)...it could be a wierd router thing.
Depending on the exact option(s) you had to change to get it going though, it's making your machine a little more open to the outside world. but maybe not in a huge way....
(so, is it now AnyIP:AnyPort>YourIP:3389 or AnyIp:AnyPort>YourIP:AnyPort? I think forwarding all ports to 3389 would wreck eMule!)
It's probably worth changing the port used from the default though tbh.
Your change it in the PCs registry and add ortno to the end of what you enter into the client.
(so it'd be something like 192.168.0.1:3390, for example)
Then change the rules on the router to match, of course.
