WM6.1 & Modem Link -Need BIGTIME help - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I do helpdesk support and I am on call frequently. We use PCanywhere to connect to our clients servers.
When I had WM5 I could just click modem link and choose activate, open PCanywhere, right click my remote & go to properties, select HTC USB modem.
PCanywhere would then use my phone as a USB modem and connect to the remote site. Now I am using Faria's 6.1 (which has the WM5 modem link & internet sharing) and I can not use my hermes as a modem no matter what I do.
All of the directions I have found are how to tether/internet via modem link. I want to use it as an external modem. Please Please help if you have been through anything like this.

oh yeah, FYI I am able to tether via internet sharing just not use the hermes as an external modem.

Hi,
are you looking for the Modem Link/Internet Sharing?
If yes, use the attached cab files.

Thanks for the reply. I already have Modem link and internet sharing built into the faria clean 6.1 ROM. My issue is that it no longer works like it did in WM5.
I am trying to use my hermes as a modem for my laptop to connect to a remote modem via PCanywhere.

Maybe its the ROM! Did you try this with any other ROM's?

I have not tried it with another 6.1 rom but it worked with the factory wm5 rom. I love this ROM and I am trying to hold off on trying another one until Schapps comes out with his new one.
Oh well for now I am pulling a rube goldberg. I am tethering using internet sharing and then aventail vpn into my network, then vnc into a desktop here, then using PC anywhere to connect to my remote server.

How did you get pcanywhere to install on WM6.1? I have dcd's rom and pcanywhere v3.0 will not install, only v2.0 will.
Can you offer any help?

I gave up. I now just use Logmein and use my desktop to connect to the pcanywhere host.

Though the topic is almost two years old, it still serve my purpose today! Thanks a million for the cab files (HTC modem Link and internet sharing)

configuring both the laptop and the cellphone for the Internet connection, and finally, initializing the connection. Once you’ve completed steps 1 and 2, you’ll never have to do them again. The next time you want to access the Internet with your cellphone you simply “redial,” and you’re online. This particular setup is based on the HTC manufactured series of windows mobile devices. In my case I still use the now-ancient HTC Cingular 8125, however these steps work for the later models (and most Windows Mobile devices will also be similar).
Step 1: Getting Things Ready
The first thing that you need to do before you can establish a laptop/modem connection is to kill the current application that’s handling communications between your laptop and cellphone. In my case, I’m running ActiveSync, so I kill that process using the Task Manager.
laptop wireless internet access
For ActiveSync, you just find wcescomm.exe and kill the process. If you’re particular Windows Mobile device uses another application, you’ll need to find the process name and make sure that you kill it. Secondly, you’ll need to also shut down the communications software on your phone. In the case of ActiveSync, in Windows Mobile you go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory -> Running Programs, and then if ActiveSync is listed you’ll need to stop the process.
mobile internet
Once you’ve stopped the communications software on both the laptop and Windows Mobile phone, you’re ready to establish the connection between the laptop and phone as an Internet modem.
Step 2: Connecting The Cellphone As a Modem
The only real configuration required in Windows Mobile in order to set up your device as an Internet modem is to enable the “Modem Link.” The Modem Link configuration can be found by going to Start -> Programs.
mobile internet
Once you’re inside the Modem Link configuration, just change the Connection setting to USB. It’s likely that your other settings are already configured, however if they are not just make sure that the Access point name has the name of the connection you configured on your mobile device for Internet access. When everything looks good, click “Activate” at the bottom, and the “Status” at the top should change to “Active.”
mobile internet
If your device is already connected to your laptop, you’ll get the “Found New Hardware” wizard pop-up immediately. If you’re not yet plugged in, then now’s the time to do it.
wireless internet for laptop
Just make sure that you select to install from a specific location so that you’ll have the option to manually select your driver file. Click next.
wireless internet access
On the next screen, you’ll click the browse button and go to the folder where the driver file is located. In my particular case with the Cingular 8125, and for most HTC mobile devices, you’ll need the USBMDM.INF driver file as well as the HTC USB Modem Dialer application. Both are offered as a free download from xda-developers.com. Download the zip file and put them wherever you’ll remember. Then in the Windows Wizard screen above, browse to the directory where you extracted the INF file. If your Windows Mobile device is non-HTC, check with the manufacturer for a USB modem driver for your device.
laptop wireless internet connections
The Wizard will recognize the device. Depending on your particular device and the version of the driver, you may see the error message above. Just click “Continue Anyway.”
wireless internet connection
Finally, the driver’s installed and you’re ready to start using your new Mobile USB Modem anytime you want to, and anywhere you have a cellular signal!
Step 3: Initializing the Internet Connection
To establish your new mobile Internet connection using your laptop, run the executable that you downloaded from the link above. Regardless of your device or your cellular carrier, you’ll typically always need to enter a User Name and Password. You can access that information (if you don’t already know it from setting up Internet use on your mobile device) by contacting your cellular provider and asking for the User Name and Password to use with your Internet data plan.
wireless internet access
Enter those details into the USB modem dialer, and after a few moments it’ll inform you that you’re now connected. Yes, that means that at this moment, even while you’re sitting in the middle of the lake with a fishing pole in one hand, your laptop is now connected to the Internet via your cellphone signal. It may not be lightning fast – but when you’re desperate to submit your latest article (or check on your team’s latest game results), sometimes such a connection is all you need.

Windows Vista, WM6, and Tethering

Ok I searched on the forums hard for this one so forgive me if this has already been answered. I see to find people with Windows Mobile 6 and Windows XP or people with Windows Vista but Windows Mobile 5.
Since I'm running Vista, I use Windows Mobile Device Center instead of ActiveSync. The functionality of the program is fine, so I have no complaints. However, to upgrade ROMs or anything...I use an XP Machine as it seems Vista seems to think the device disconnects upon the loading of the bootloader. I've read somewhere in the forums that there is a driver update to fix that, but after applying...WMDC doesn't work properly...so I'd save the trouble and use a machine that has XP running instead until a better fix comes along.
My 8525 came stock with a program called Wireless Modem as of ROM 1.34.502.1 shipped, which seems to have been replaced by Internet Sharing.
The Wireless Modem application worked fine after setting up the modem with the Vista driver also found in the forums. I also tested the bluetooth connection and set that up to tether as well and it worked fine.
I finally decided to upgrade after days of reading and I tried to use the Wireless Modem feature. I noticed it wasn't there and tried to use Internet Sharing. The layouts are similar...but when I hook up the phone under USB, my computer doesn't even recognize it as a new device (modem) as I did uninstall the last driver.
When connected via Bluetooth, it recognized the device and installed the driver as Windows Mobile-based device support by default. Under services, only Active Sync is only available...as opposed to before when I had Dial-Up networking available. When I set up a PAN, the computer and device are connected together, however I do get the same problem as some others with a connection that is limited or local only. So the tethering is unsuccessful.
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8525 to WM6BE v1.2 (Cingular Edition)...which I can't seem to find in the threads anymore. I'm also running Radio 1.38.00.11...but I don't think that would affect anthing. I reverted back to my shipped ROM to check for alternate settings that might have helped...then I was going to revert back to WM6BE v1.2 Cingular...then I realized I accidently deleted that custom ROM and I couldn't find it anymore. I was stuck putting on the WM6BE v1.2 on the sticky thread after which forced me to reinstall the data settings/keyboard fix from the cab files. Haven't had problems with them but I did like that customized ROM for Cingular a little better considering I really like "clean" ROMs.
Anyway, I'm attempted to connect via MEdia Net AND Cingular GPRS settings provided by the Cingular Data Settings cab floating around the forums. It works fine it seems...it just seems like the problem is getting Vista to recognize the device as a modem, or at least having modem capabilities.
I guess thats as detailed as I can get right now. Hopefully someone can help now ^_^
You are right. I tried updating rom on Vista's Windows mobile Device and end up damaging my xda2i. The device displays "USB" when connected to cradle and "Serial v1. 01" when not. Do you have a solution apart from upgrading?
Solution on Vista
Hello Guys, I'm running vista too and I bothered 2 hours before getting it done.
So this is one of the "Step-By-Step Instruction Guides".
0. Extract the attached file into a directory of your choice
1. Disconnect your Device
2. Goto Settings > Connections and choose "USB To PC"
3. Uncheck the option there
4. Reconnect your Device
5. Goto your DeviceManager and search for "HTC USB Sync", double click it and choose Drivers
6. Click on the "Update Driver"-Button and choose search on the computer
7. Click "Choose a driver from list..."
8. Click the button to the right (Open from Media)
9. Choose any INF File from the extracted ones.
10. You're done, upgrade your ROM.
11. To Rollback drivers, use the "Automatic Update" instead of Manually selecting (it will choose the newest ones)
12. Recheck the option of step 2 unless you're planning to use the slow variant.
Have Phun and Good Luck
Have I understand right? With this tweak We will be able to applied ROM upgrades to our HERMES from windows VISTA?
Confirmed.
I did already update my ROM in this way.
Cheers,
soniX
EDIT:
Please use HardSPL or something equal to be sure the risk is at a minimum.
And I can not be held responsible for any damage to your Hermes or your Brain
But as I said, for me it worked perfectly, remember to Restore the new Drivers or the Mobile Device Center will not work.
Hmm I don't think you people understand what I was asking...
I already know about that method to update with Vista...I actually tried it yesterday and for some reason it didn't work so I just use an XP Machine for now...but I was just asking merely about TETHERING.
I already have the ROMs of my choice loaded on my device.
In simpler words: How do I go about tethering (Running Internet Sharing) when my computer does not recognize the device as a modem...through USB or Bluetooth.
I'm running WM6BE v1.2 and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Maybe its Wm6BE, but I have used all the other roms (xda live, des, lsvw) and all I do is plug in the usb, start internet sharing and it connects no problem. Have to start internet sharing before wmdc starts. Internet Sharing works great, better than wireless modem. I was not able to use the WM6be due to problems with sbp pocket plus. I am currently using XDA live .30 and Vista Ultimate.
Does the technique in the post above work??
Also once that procedure is carried out can rom updates and RUU programs be used exactly the same as on XP??
If anyone is available to do some screenshots for me for an updated GUIDE, please PM me (i dont use or have a copy of vista )
I enjoy the community so I think I'll do my best to contribute to it. When I get the chance, I'll try to make a guide with screenshots on using Windows Vista and loading WM6.
I'm going to try to switch to LVSW build with his new update today and I'll see how that works out.
I REALLY like the one custom build someone made (I forgot who) with the Cingular connection settings defaulted from the Cingular Shipped ROMs...I wish I can find those files again.
It seems like the people developing the new Cingular data connection cab files are really working hard at getting the default settings as if they just bought their phoes straight from Cingular.
I'll let you know how LVSW goes with Internet Sharing and Windows Vista

Also, I've seen this guide posted twice...yours missing one step where I was supposed to "End WMDC.exe Process in Task Manager"
I still can't get Vista to run RUU...do you run the RUU with your device in Bootloader? I think I even tried that once and and still couldn't get it to work with the older Driver.
Not exactly sure what I'm missing or doing wrong...but its definitely after I install the driver. It acts as if I didn't install it at all, even if I check in drive details and its all correct in there.
i tried the method above for upgrading in vista and it didnt work for me...
what am i missing?
Where is it stopping?
Because I did it once, it has to work.
Where is it stopping? - At the bootloader (LSD-Screen with psychedelic colors ?) - or before ?
I will do an upgrade in the afternoon again and this time i will record ALL of my steps.
Hopefully I'll find the recept for the cake.
Cheers,
soniX
Yea it gets to the bootloader screen and I'm stuck as if I never loaded the AS4.5 drivers.
Sorry, too less time today for a screenshot-decorated guide.
I just upgraded my device again (only to proove it does work).
So here is again a guide, which differs to the first one.
I guess there are two ways to do this...
Prequesites:
- Search my previous post and download the USBAS.zip-File
- Extract it into a directory...
- You'll need your device and it has to be connected, too
The first approach:
Change the Serial-Driver
- On the device click Start > Settings, choose "Connections" there and click on "USB to PC"
- uncheck the item for "Enhanced..." there
- Click on OK.
- Now goto your Device Manager.
- Search an Item named "HTC USB Sync".
- Right-click it and choose "Update Driver".
- Choose the second option, then select to choose manually
- Select the directory where the zip has been extracted to and choose any inf file.
Start the Update-Tool
- After the driver-update you need to set the device back to RNDIS-Mode (follow Step 1 and recheck the option)
- Verify that you're running the correct drivers for the RNDIS-Device, the date in the device-manager has to be around January, 17th 2007.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade.
- It should work now.
For me it did not really work to switch from RNDIS to USB-Serial drivers in my localized (thanks bepe for the great work!) german WM6.
So if you have a problem with the first method use this one.
- Start your Device-Manager, we have to be very fast.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade as you've probably done before
- If the bootloader starts up, you'll notice a device/dettached,device/attached sound, this is your sign, goto to you Device-Manager.
- Search for the Entry "HTC USB Sync".
- Update drivers like it's written above.
- If it won't work and the upgrade tool dies with "cannot connect", don't worry. Reset your device (soft) and try again, this time you should not need to update the drivers.
Cheers,
soniX
I'm using XP and a USB cable. USed to work OK before upgrading to WM6 Black but now I get Error 797 on the PC saying modem not found or busy!

For Vista guide with screen shots, so far i've only flashed HardSPLv4 from inside Vista, but it worked i'm still plucking up enough courage to do a full flash of WM6
Nic
I do this (for Hard-SPL, don't know for other):
I have made what it was written on modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977), but
1) I was not in bootloader.
2) While active sync try to connect (but it does not succeed because they are not its driver) I've stopped WMDC.EXE and now hermes is connected.
3) NOW I do a flash.
If there is something that is not clear you say it to me.
My method also works (for me)
Can somebody confirm that my method works for vista?
soniX
I'm based also to your method, but it would be more complete to integrate it with the method on modaco.
It seems that most people didn't get the point of this thread...weird considering I put TETHERING in the subject line. However, it is nice to see people trying to help others with Vista to flash. I have the same problem myself but access to machines with XP nullify my real need for flashing on Vista for now.
I'm about to reinstall LVSW's latest ROM set for the billionth time and I'll try out tethering on that. It seems that people who were on WM6BE were having a hard time with Internet Sharing. I'll load a new rom and let you know how it goes.

Help accessing PC & Laptop from XDA

Currently share files on my latop and pc through a BT Home hub.
Now got an XDA and want to be able to access my laptop files and PC files from my XDA through my homehub.
Have pinged my XDA in Comd prompt from my laptop so I know that is working.
Have tried in my XDA file explorer to open path using the format //Desktop_Name assuming my desktop name is my laptop or computer name found in system settings.
That comes to nothing though and after trawling the net for ages have had no luck.
Do I need to set up a VPN? If so I have no idea how to do this. BT Home hubpages are no use.
Can anyone help me please!!!
Maybe you should check firewall settings on your hub. Some WiFi routers allow traffic on ping ports but disallow on other ports. Additionally try to explore your PC with IP number, not name (\\www.xxx.yyy.zzz format) using Total Commander.
Good luck,
yeap, I've tried that, but it still says i cannot access the server. firewall settings seem ok. Surely it must be possible to link up wirelessly with my PC???
can anyone offfer further help??
Try to turn firewall on laptop completely off for tests. I remember there is WM version of ping - install it on PDA and tray to ping laptop to be sure that PDA -> laptop traffic goes without problems. Then make network share on laptop and try with Total Commander again.
so basically i need total commander on both my PC and latop??
no just the pda
though total commander is a very nice browser on pc too
i've been using it since windows 3.11
Yeah, I geuss what i am after is a bit of step by step direction on what to di. I am new to all this and have an ok knoweldge of computers and setting up networks etc. However i am still none the wiser.
1. I have dowloaded Total Commander, but need to register. In saying that I am not sure where to place the registry key. Dont want to frag my PC
2. Have checked my firewall settings for the home hub and in my McAffee sfotware. All seems ok.
still none the wiser how to set it all up. Do I install the total commander .exe to the PDA direct?? Dunno!
Please can someone help me step by step. Its got to be worth a beer or two ;-)
If you want to access you pc by BT then just go to "Start"->"Programs" and run "Bluetooth Explorer" make sure BT on you pc is enabled. After running BTexplorer there will be a popup on you pc asking for folder to share/save files.
the pocketpc total commander exe is an activesync install which have to be run on the pc

can't access samba share

Hi,
I want to access a samba share in my home network. I have a lan-storage device (dlink dns323, static ip 192.168.XX.XX) connected to a wlan-router.
When I activate my wlan on the xda orbit, I'm able to open web-pages and download gps-data for quick gps. Xda orbit is getting its ip via dhcp. As dns I defined the wlan-router.
So how can I access the share "folder1" at the dns323?
I tried this in totalcommander:
\\[email protected]\folder1
--> Error 53 while connection!
Similar in File Explorer:
\\[email protected]\folder1
--> Network ressource was not found or you do not have access rights.
From a desktop pc or laptop inside my home network I can connect to the share as user1. Without the [email protected] statement --> same result.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards, hqqh
Hi,
now I installed z2 PocketLan. When I scan my network, my NAS (DNS323), wlan router and my linux server were found. But when I try to connect using group name user name and password the error message: "Network path not found." is printed. This happen when I try to connect to the NAS and the linux server (smb server is running).
I'm happy about any help.

fwiw I could only get network sharing to work when i addressed it via name ie.
\\device\sharename rather than \\ipaddress\sharename.
Hi,
thank you for your hint. I tried to connect vi Internet Explorer by device name:
"\\DLINK-EE2EBC\folder1"
But when I press ENTER, the address is substituted by "file://\\DLINK-EE2EBC\folder1" and the error "Network path not found" appears.
How can I configure my device, so that it will access the LAN and not local files?
Kind regards,

Do you have the (Start -> Settings -> Connections ->) Network Plugin installed and configured?
I've exactly the same problem, i have an Artemis P3300 and already tried everything. Also configuring the network plugin. But the plugin won't connect to my lanbox...
When i refresh the Networkneigbourhood, my lanbos can be found, but i can't tap on it (i can by my other computers in the neigbourhood). Maybe it is a problem with the firmware of my lanbox? But under WM5 everything was accesable.

when i enter a \\network\share link in IE, it gets redirected to file explorer and a blank IE window says open with file://\\device\share in the address bar. Have you tried file explorer or total commander?
also i have no settings set on the network plugin page, isnt that for sharing out your wm?
Hi,
@chiel80: You mean it is an WM6 problem? Do you know whether it is possible to update the operating system without affecting the installed software?
@mc1: Yes it tried totalcommander and file explorer. The network plugin shows the same behavior like chiel80's device. All network devices were found, but no shared folder is available. Same in the tool called pocketlan.
I dont know what I can do. Is there anyone how can access shared folders via network?
Kind regards,

Hello,
I have the same Problem. I have tryed with PocketLAN, Resco-File-Explorer, HTC Network Plugin and Total Comander and it cames the same Problem. With Windows-Sharefolder its worked very fine. But I have Problems with my NAS-Server (Buffalo Linkstation) and my DreamBox, boths are Linux-Devices. Before I flashed my HTC Kaiser, its worked with my NAS. But after I flashed my Kaiser then the Problems has beginn. I think its a Windows Mobil 6-Problem. What can I do?
WM6 Firewall?
Hi,
I still have the problem, that I can't connect to samba shares via WLAN. I as said above, I can send pings to my linux server and I can send pings from the server to the xda orbit.
I noticed that if I connect to the samba share from e.g. another linux or windows pc, a log file is created under /var/log/samba on the server. But when I try to connect with the xda orbit, no log file will be created.
So is it possible that WM6 has a firewall, which blocks the samba ports (137-139 I think)?
I have done a port scan of the xda orbit an got the following result:

I know, if the communication was started from the xda orbit, the samba ports dont have to be open, but if the firewall has a very restrictive setup, the commuication will not be start? Just an idea.
So my question: Is there a firewall in Windows Mobile 6? If yes, how can I configure it?
Kind regards,
hqqh
Any progresses here? Struggling with the same problem here.
Hi johnpatcher,
No, there is no progress on this topic at my side ((.
Do you have this connection problem when you try to connect to a share on a linux or a windows system?
Maybe there are differences in the implementation of the samba protocol between linux and windows.
Kind regards,
hqqh
I'm trying to connect to a samba (linux) share.
It doesnt work neither with "security = user" nor with "security = share". I just get a sound, but it doesn't connect. No entries in the server log files can be found .
Hi,
I setup a connection to a winXp computer where a folder was declared as shared folder and I was able to connect to it!!!
So what is the problem? Do I have the wrong settings of the samba-server?
The ip address of my XDA Orbit is added to the list of devices which have access to the share.
Has someone established a connection between a WM6 device and a linux system?
Kind regards,
hqqh
Hi
I have the same problem on my HTC touch cruise with WM6
Using TotalCommander LAN-plugin, I get connection to all the shared folders
in the LAN, but when I want to connect to a LAN-storage, located on a USB-server (running smb-protocol) I get the storages name, but no folders or files on it.
With my elder HP Ipaq 6910 running WM5 all works perfect.
I think there must be a setting (in WM6 or HTC) that prevents WM6 from connecting to a SMB-server?
Is there anybody who can connect with WM6 to a LAN-(smb)-storage?
Thanks
Stefan
I have the same issue. My ATT-Tilt-WM6 with HTC network plugin shows all available pcs, but will only connect to actual windows machines. I've got shared Linux samba drives, and shared ibook hosted samba drives, which show up in network plugin, but it can't connect to. All pcs/ibooks/linux boxes in network can connect to each other just fine. And my other phone, a sprint 6700 with WM5, shares the ibook and linux drives just fine, I'm only having the problem with WM6.
Network access to NAS using Lobster Tunes
If you just want access to audio files? I have managed to get access to my audio files on my NAS device (Synology DS107) using Lobster Tunes.
http://lobstertunes.com
The NAS device has a media server as well as being Upnp.
There *is* a fix for browsing Linux (samba)-based shares and it involves editing a line in smb.conf on the Linux server.
BUT
I found the fix in a very obscure forum on the Internet a long time ago AND I no longer have the link!! I did fix this problem on my old Linux server but it's not currently fired up so I will have to dig it out of storage and see what I did.
This is bugging me now as I need to 'fix' my new server!

Unfortunately, I can't figure out why and what is difference, but if I install any other ROM (e.g. Dutty's), I can't access samba shares. If I install the one above, I can access using TC, Resco, File Explorer and maybe others.
Hope this helps someone.
PS: I have Synology DS-207+ on the network.
OK. The correct answer is here:
Change HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLe vel to 1 from 3, not to 2 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa925018.aspx) as "You can also set the LmCompatibilityLevelServer value to 2 or to 3. Both of these specify that the server will only use NTLM v2. Authentication will fail if the client is not capable of NTLM v2 protocol. For more information, see Authentication Services Registry Settings".
And check to make sure HKLM\Comm\Redir\SmbSignatureMode is set to 0 (not recommended 'cos it may cause problems with windows servers), 1 or 2, but not 3 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921092.aspx).
And you can try to set HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods to 3 to see if it makes any difference. To me, 2 works fine.
No need to modify samba configurations if you are running a recent version of samba (3.0.28 right now). Anyway, you can always try to add "use spnego = no" (maybe "client use spnego = no" or "spnego = no" as stated and/or quoted in other posts/web pages, I'm not sure of it.) to see if it makes any difference in your situation/samba version.

Trinity WM6 Modem [Movistar]

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my laptop to the internet via my Trinity WM6 and I've seen that we need to install a .inf to make the device recognized as a Modem. I think I remember that with Wm5 no driver was needed. Is this real?
So once I've installed the HTC USB Modem driver, I figured I don't know the info I've to insert in user/pass/APN to make it work. I'm using MOVISTAR in spain. I've googled and I've seen nothing about it.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks in advance for your help...
Hello
In my Trini (WM Faman 4.02) to connect the laptop to inernet only have to enter in the configuration of your Windows Mobile and uncheck the option to allow USB connections, watch your portable recognizes the Trini. Then, in your Trini go to inicio- programss - accesorios - conexion compartida, USB and Movistar and connect. That's all. Once when you finish re-activate the option in Windows Mobile to allow USB connections so you can synchronize data
Greetings
I've done exactly what you said, and when you plug the usb, the xp requires drivers.
Once drivers are installed "USBModem_Dialer.exe" asks for some connection info I don't know.
Upssss,
My OS is Windows Vista
Think that you need to configure the operator.
Home-configuration-connections-config. Operators, then verify in Home-configuration-connections-connections is configured Movistar Internet.
Now try connecting 3G by simply starting Internet Explorer
If all went well, disconnect 3G and test what I told you before using your laptop
salu2
At least, on my oold WM5. No additional softs needed.
Just plug the USB.
Then run: programs/Internet Sharing.
with the settings:
Pc connexion: USB or Bluetooth
Network connetion: <your provider GPRS/UMTS profile connection>
and click "coonect"
No idea about "WM6"
I use movitar also and many of the FAMANs vers.
First, configure your operator with the peogram found in Movistar or HTC home page (or in last FAMAN ROMs in the Configuración>Config. Operadores>Movistar. When you have access to Internet with 3G or GPRS properly configured then you only need to access to Coneción compartida using USB and thats all. In my case I used to first conect with the computer using activesync and then open the Conexión compartida program. It always wotk. Activesync looses the conection with the phone but I have access to the Internet from computer.
I use Faman 4.02 and Window XP.
Saludos,

Well after reading the last thread I'm still having problems my notebook doesn't recognize the phone as a standard modem I've installed various vista drivers found on other threads still no luck!!
os windows vista 64
im using vista64. it shouldnt matter which version you are using because drivers are automatically installed when you connect via usb. when i first plugged in my tp2, it automatically set everything up. dont try to configure the modem crap in MyComputer, but rather just hook up via the internet sharing app on the tp2 or if your laptop supports wifi, enable wifi on your tp2 and search for the signal on your laptop. the above mentioned forum topics should have more than helped. its easier than you make it bro. btw, are your carrier internet settings correct? here are settings for Tmobile and ATT. hope this helps.
For sure give this thread a read: Wifi Internet Sharing
It's the easiest way to turn your phone into a router and get internet on your laptop. That said, if your laptop or desktop isnt wifi enabled then you'll just have to teather it using "internet sharing" I havn't seen a rom yet (even my stock ATT rom had it I believe) that doesn't have internet sharing built into it as a standard option in the com manager or in the connections settings.
if you dont have the internet sharing app, its HERE in this thread
This most be very disappointing for all of you that have tried to help me on this issue but I'm still having problems...
List of things tried already
1. Installed internet sharing but cant get the phone to connect via usb, the wifi recieve data I've tried the phone on my home network without sim card and it browses the net without problems but can't use it as a router with or without the sim card
2. Follow the att instructions but my phone has the media net setting locked and I can't edit them
"Media Net This connection is pre configure. It cannot be modify'
3. installed all kind of drivers still not recognized as a standard modem
Last drivers instaled was using wmdriverinstaler
Even gone to you tube!!
Toshiba satellite a305 wifi enabled
vista home premiun 64
att tilt 2 rom1.59.502.3 rom date 9/25/09 wm6.5
CE OS 5.2.21849 build 21849.5.0.63
att $30 unlimited data plan ("no thethering" din't need it with the blackberry since it work as a dial up modem)
I wont give up I like this htc better than my BB curve!!!
Is it a rom issue?
Drivers issue?
att plan that has to upgragded to tehter "won't go there"
Unlocking the phone?
Thanks!!
Have you tried connecting the laptop to the phone via Bluetooth (if you have that option on your laptop)? I was trying to get Internet Sharing going this way, and once I paired the two, I got an option to use the phone as a dial-up modem, rather than just sharing the phone's ATT data connection (which sounds like exactly what you are looking for). For some reason, I got this option when I connected via Bluetooth, and not USB. Also, I'm using XP, and not Vista, so I don't know if that will change the options.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which rom are you using?
ok so if you are using the stock rom, why cant you connect? your settings are automatically set up on a stock rom. you must have done something in the connections settings to screw up your connection. just reflash the stock rom.
Well thanks for all the help and suggestions but the problem was the actual phone
I went to ATT and changed the unit and now it works fine I was able to connect via internet sharing using wifi apparently there was hardware failure with my original tilt
Thanks you for all your help!!!
