I am able to tether my mac to what should be any windows mobile device (I currently have a tytn/hermes) using syncmate 1.4.0350 and ics control v0.21. in fact I am listening to a stream from DI.FM pro and typing this. If there is interest I'll write it up.
Basically you have to set the IP info for WM driver manually b/c no default route is normally set.
Please tell us about it!
That would be great. I'm tethering off of bluetooth, but I think off USB would be faster. I have to be plugged in with USB anyway so I don't kill my battery with the BT so might as well tether through that if possible.
Mac USB Tethering
I would greatly appreciate it if you could post your Mac USB tethering solution. Thanks!
awesome!! i've been trying ot figure it out forever. please do post detail instructions.
thanks mate
Full instructions
This is how I got it to work with SyncMate 2.0, ICS Control 0.21, Leopard 10.5.6 and Windows Mobile 6.1.
On the mac, in System Prefs > Network:
1. Click 'Windows Mobile Device' (should be listed - if not see bottom of post).
2. It should already say:
• Configure: Using DHCP with manual address
• IP Address: 169.254.2.2
3. If it doesn't, fill this in. Click Apply.
On the Windows Mobile:
4. Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC.
5. Tick 'Enable advanced network functionality'.
6. Open ISC Control (ICSControl.exe).
7. Scroll down and click 'Set all defaults' at the bottom.
8. Set these settings:
• Public Interface: Cellular (Cellular 1) or Wif-Fi (has a W in the name, mine is TIACXWLN1)
• Private Interface: RNDISFN1
• Set private IP: Ticked, 169.254.2.1
• Auto Connect to Network: Ticked, 'T-Mobile Internet' or whatever you use (I think this only applies for cellular connections).
9. Click 'Start ICS'.
10. If your phone is not already connected to the internet, start the Wi-Fi or GPRS/3G data connection and wait for it to connect.
11. Plug in the USB cable.
That's It! You should be connected to the internet after about 20 seconds.
(SyncMate may load during this time - ignore it).
Troubleshooting tips:
If it doesn't work after 30 seconds, try this:
On the Mac, in System Prefs > Network:
1. Create a new location.
• Windows Mobile Device should be listed. If not, run SyncMate once (with the driver enabled on WM device) and plug in your device. Set it up if it asks you to.
2. Set the Service Order (in Leopard it's in the menu available from the button with the gear icon, at the bottom of the list). Drag the connections into order so that your Windows Mobile Device is above any other enabled adapters (even if they are not connected to the internet).
3. Click OK then Apply.
4. Make sure there is an address written next to 'Router'. If not, enter these settings:
• Configure: Manually.
• IP address: 169.254.2.2
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Router: 169.254.2.1
• DNS Server: 169.254.2.1
5. Click Apply.
6. Unplug USB, Stop & Start ICS, then plug in again.
(If this works for you, after having used the settings like this once, you may be able to go back to using the network settings as listed above.)
If you have done this and it still doesn't work:
On the phone go to Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters
1. Tap Remote-NDIS Host.
2. Choose 'Use specified IP address' and enter:
• IP address: 169.254.2.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: blank
3. Restart the phone (may be optional)
4. Start ICS Control
5. Go to the DNS tab & delete all the DNS entries.
6. Hit Start ICS then plug in the USB.
NB If you change settings on ICS Control (such as Public interface) while connected: Click Stop ICS, then Start ICS.
If you still can't get a connection, try this:
1. On the phone, quit the SyncMate driver (from the today page).
2. Quit the Activesync app (from the task manager).
3. Stop & Start ICS.
Notes:
• After setting this up, in the future all you need to do is load ICSControl, hit 'Start ICS' and then plug in.
• If you want to, you can quit ICSControl after clicking 'Start ICS' and plugging in.
• The SyncMate driver and ActiveSync app are both automatically loaded when plugging in the USB but you can quit both of these after loading, for improved response from the phone. SyncMate on the Mac is also loaded, and of course you can quit this too after it loads.
• NB - SyncMate driver can be a resource hog so it makes sense to quit it whenever you can
can ATT charge extra when we do this? I remember a while ago, if you used ISP.CINGULAR you WILL be charged, but if you use WAP.CINGULAR you wont be charged?
Can someone that has access to their bill check? I will be traveling, using international roaming if i add a "tether" rate, i'd be dead.
I cannot check because i do not have access to my account (it's a corp account).
Thanks!
Works great!
Hi!
I have just tried it with my Xperia X1i and it works great! I´m soo happy
Thank you!
robrecord, thanks a lot!! this will sure come in handy, couldn't find this information anywhere else
Also works fine in Snow Leopard
@robrecord: Thanks for these instructions! It just works great. Using an HTC Touch HD and Snow Leopard, I can finally tether over USB on OSX.
I apologize for bumping an old thread but wanted to say thanks to the OP for this guide. Worked flawlessly on my Hackintosh 10.6.6.
There is just one modification I had to make to make it work. I used the IP addresses...
192.168.1.1 (on the Desktop) and
192.168.1.2 (on the WM Device).
Connected to the internet using my HTC Touch Find with WM 6.1.

Make sure u r going through the procedure.
1. Your WiFi capable device must be in the range of a Wireless Router (internet connected).
2. I assume that ur Wireless Router is set on security (allready set to allow specific users).
3. Every WiFi device has got an unique ID called MAC address, so your phone has also got a MAC address e.g: 00:09:2D:1F:34:E3. U have to go into the Wireless Router settings to enable ur WiFi phone.
4. Go into your Wireless Router settings (u need router's login ID & password to login) and add a device, give it ur phone's MAC address (Point 5) and a name (e.g. My XDA), Apply->Save->Logout. If ur Wireless router is security enabled then there must be a password called "WEP Key" e.g. "AE4ED24C54", now write it down to put it in your Phone to login to the Wireless Router to use the WiFi internet.
5. Find your phone's MAC address at: "Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->WLAN->(in the status: Not connected to network) click the bottom left Green button->click WLAN button(it will turn green from red)->ok->in the MAC: would be ur device MAC address(e.g: 00:09:2D:1F:34:E3). (write down on a piece of paper for the router settings).
6. As your phone is already "WiFi switched on" in point 5, it should detect ur Wireless Router once u finish point 4.
7. Phone will detect & show the name of ur Wireless Router, select it, it will ask for the Password now (WEP Key), enter the Wep Key and here u go.
8. Now ur Today screen Top "G" icon should change (antenna type icon) and show ur decice as connected in few seconds, u can switch it off by clicking that icon and click "Turn OFF WiFi" on the popup, you can switch it back on by: Start->Program->Wireless Manager->WiFi icon.
This explaination is only for WiFi enabled devices.

Hmm... I can't get it to work. My Universal says:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or does not exist
2. A network error occurred while estabilishing the connection.
What I've done:
- Enabled the Remote Desktop on my computer.
- Forwarded the 3389 port to remote desktop in Windows's built in firewall. (I don't use any other one)
- Checked what is my IP
- Started the Remote Desktop Mobile on my Universal
- Entered the IP to the computer name
- Entered a username without any password, and domain
P.S.:
My Computer is behind a router. Maybe I need some other tweak?
P.P.S.:
What is the best Remote Desktop application if this one does not works? Maybe I should try another...
Help please.
Thanks

You need to set up your router to forward it to your PC. "Port forwarding", I think is the word, should be under Server/Application setup on your router.

WOW! You're fast! Try it, and post the changes
Well, I've found some things under my router Remote Management setup.
- Enabled HTTP
- Enabled UPNP
- Enabled PPTP
- Enabled IPSec
I'm quite new in router setup, because I've just get my first router about 1 months ago.
Maybe I'll try to pull out the router, and plug the internet directly to my PC. If it works, than the problem is in my router setup.
I've just realised it if I pull out the cable from the router, I cannot connect my PDa via wifi Saaaad
Now I must play with the router settings
Just a quick question. When switching on the wifi on your universal, which access point does it connect to ? Or you need to setup a adhoc between the pc and universal. Your universal must be on the same ip range as the desktop.
Let me know if this has been done yet.
There is some advice for setting up Terminal Services under XP SP2 at this link.
http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27117
You also need to be able to ping the XP SP2 machine successfully from your XDA. Try vxUtil to make sure that you can do this.
I do this at home through WiFI and it works well, particularly through the 640x480 screen.

Well, I won't encourage you to mess with the router if you don'tknow what you are doing. As of a router, Remote Management setup -> Enabled HTTP sounds to me like that just opened your router to the outside world, and if they are able to brute force their way into your router, your router is at their mercy.
Anyway, since you said that you used your phone and PC at the same router, you ought to able to do it with the LAN IP address, which should start with 192.168. At your PC, Start -> Run -> "Cmd" -> "ipconfig". That should display your network stuff, look for the 'IP address'. Use this address instead of the one you get from whatismyip.com
Sorry for nnot posting this time. I've been busy.
Well,
To hanmin:
I didn't played with the router, because of no-time, but I'll try what you've said. But I know ehat I'm doing, I'm just not experienced about advanced networking. But maybe time will teach me. Or you guys
To mikeycrawford:
Thanks will read it, and if there's any solution try it too.
To wh1t3w0lf:
Well, I want to try remote desktop via internet, not via WiFi. I mean I want to connect to my computer from my work, so I didn't selected ad-hoc connection. BTW thanks for the help
So thank you all your helps, I will have 2 days break, maybe then I'll try all you've written. And of course post the results.
Cheers,

Awwwwwwww maaaan just tried it and it works!!!!!! Now I have another question.
Ok I'm logged in, but the XP user on my PC automatically logging out. My friend doing remote desktop from our work, and when he logs in from the work on a Pc, the PC what is at home, don't logs out, it still the same, and he can use the computer to help his girlfriend.
So if he logs in form work, his gilrfried can see what he is doing.
I hope you guys can understand it, I'm writing a bit messy.
So can I do it form my PDA to PC too? And the anwer is yes, can I get a separate program for this? I think my friend uses a program what is called VNC.
And another question: I know the built-in remote desktop in the best program for this process. What are the most useable programs? I mean: best speed, or more beautiful look.
Cheers, and thanks for helping

Hi, dears!
Q: why I can not use my wireless networks?!
I have two type of wireless network.
I can use both of this networks in my laptop, but I am confused and tired of retrying more and again and again in pocket pc.
===========================
First network is in our faculty:
1- Proxy Server (that will be set in pc in: InternetExplorer/Tools/InternetOptions/Connection/LanSetting/)
Address:192.168.12.20 Port:8080
2- And not any more setting is required in this network!
-----------------------------------
Second, in our dormitory:
1- Proxy Server (that will be set in pc in: InternetExplorer/Tools/InternetOptions/Connection/LanSetting/)
Address:192.168.0.1 Port:8080
2- In this network anyone has an specific IP for Wireless
Mine is:
IP: 192.168.0.188
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.188
(You maybe know it better than me that this configuration must be set in wireless properties in PC)
3- This network also use user-password that when I open opera or InternetExplorer (In PC), it will ask me for them:
suppose it is: user: 1111 and password: 2222
----------------------------------
In PC, I use both of this networks successfully.
Also I can connect both of them in ppc, (PPC show me "connected"!)
BUT! I cant not use this "connected" network in IE or Opera in PPC, Why?
I am really confused and tired.
----------------------------------
Now, who know what I must do?
Help Me, Just Step By Step!
Becuase I am a simple user of WM, not proffesional!
Extra Information:
Artemis P3300.
WM 6.1 Build 20771.1.4.6
I don't know what kind of more info is needed for describong device situation!
1. Setings-Conections-Conections-Advanced-Select Networks from My ISP changed it to My Work Network, select Edit button Proxy Setings to go and check on This network conects to the Internet button and then OK.
2. In Wifi settings on the card again in Conections (the icon is Wifi) Network Adapters to select The Internet. Ok. Wifi-and restarts it.
Good luck.
Dear, SPGI!
First thank you for answering.
Altought I did many test on this ways before, but I removed all old configurations first, and then I did your advice, but not worked!
I am often (and now) in Dormitory. In dormitory wireless network when I try to load any site IE shows this error: " The page connot be found. Check the name and try again", What is the matter? (In PC in this moment IE must show user-pass window!)
I saw some problem in wireless in this pags that their text was very onfusing for me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567110
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568878
Can I ask, those phone are same as mine? or they have another problem. becuase (I said) I can connect wireless, (altought it is useless yet) but it seems they can not turn their wireless or semi-problems.
-----
Everyone I restart my phone, it shows a message that had not set any data connection, why?
In Setting/Connection/Connection/Manage existing connections/Proxy Setting/Advanced/HTTP/
(I set dormitory wireless network server as 192.168.0.1 and port as 8080 there.)
There are username and passoword also that I think it must be instead of user-pass login that IE in PC will show when I Open IE. But I don not know what is the domain?
Then, If user-pass must be set here, what is the domain?
And if not: where it must be set?
Also, I found this In Setting/Connection/WiFi/Network Adapter/SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter:
IP and Subnet mask and Default gateway.
Well, people , was trying to Share my laptops Broadband connection with my sgs running MIUI 1.7.8 but couldnt get to to work. The phone just used to get stuck at "Obtaining ip address". Using Connectify didnt help me, so i had to manually configure the connections.
Here is a complete tutorial for connecting to the adhoc network to get it working.
Setting up the connection:
1) Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
2) Go to Change Adapter Settings
3) Find the adapter for the default internet connection (it was a PPPOE in my case, it is the connection u use to connect to the internet.)
4) Right click on that -> Cancel as Default Connection
4) Right click -> Properties -> Sharing tab
5) Uncheck "Allow other network users to connect ..." if it is not
6) Right-Click the Correct Wireless Network Connection > Properties > "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in Windows Vista / Only "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in Windows 2000 and XP > Properties
7) Choose "Use the following IP address:" and enter the following
IP address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Setting Up The Network :
1) Open Network and Sharing Center.
2) Under Change your networking settings, click Set up a new connection or network.
3) Select Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network
4) Enter your Network name, and enter a Security key if wanted (Use WEP over here, WPA doesnt seem to work.)
5) Check the box for Save this network and click Turn on Internet connection sharing on next page.
Configuring the Phone :
1) Now on the android, go to Settings -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Advanced.
2) In IP settings, turn on use static IP.
3) Give The settings as follows :
IP address : 192.168.0.2
Gateway : 192.168.0.1
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
DNS 1 : 192.168.0.1
4) Now turn of Use Static IP. Dont worry, the settings will remain as they are.
5) Now Go back and connect to the adhoc network you created above, give the password and it will try to connect to it.
6)At this point, you will see Obtaining IP address, now go into advanced again and enable use static ip. Voila! you are connected to the network.
Well, if you're using Windows 7, there is no need for ad-hoc networks
Windows 7 has a built-in support for wireless hotspots, but unfortunatly Microsoft didn't implement a control panel for that.
There is a freeware called connectify, it will turn your Windows7 Computer with a wireless card into a real hot spot, no ad hoc needed:
http://www.connectify.me/
I couldnt get connectify to work either. But I found a much better (lightweight and simple) program which worked for me called "virtual router manager". Works a charm every time

Not all network cards are supported by virtual router manager.. Mine was not supported.. whereas the above method works for all wifi cards regardless of model...
well, observed thks thing... for connecting to wifi everytime we need to turn of use static ip, then turn on wifi and wait for obtaing ip address message and after it is shown, go to advanced and switch on us sttic ip... this does the trick...
Connectify just keeps giving my system a damn BSOD...

Actually wireless AP mode was implemented in Windows 7 and therefore programs like connectify won't work on Vista or Xp.
Adhoc has been supported for much longer, but it is a completely different thing than wireless AP mode.
If you are running Windows 7, you should be able to use wireless AP mode. If programs like connectify somehow fail, you can always try enabling it manually.
If everything fails, upgrade your hardware.

Hello everybody,
After im using lumia 950, and this device can't change DNS (Static IP not enable).
But i have anotherto enable it.
Step 1: Enable "Developer mode"
- "Device Portal": Turn on Remote diagnostics
- Get IP below Wi-Fi (ex: 192.158.1.25)
Step 2: Open Microsoft EDGE
- Enter IP you get on step 1 to dress bar
- Go to "Networking"
Now you can see all information of wifi you connect
Step 3:
- In the Right of page, you can see: List button "IPv4 Configuration", click to the first button of list
- Board setting "Internet Protocol Version 4" will be Expland.
Now you can config DNS server like PC :good:
finally, cellular data under control, now it would be nice if the settings for wifi werent applied on a ssid by ssid basis, as in, if they could stick until changed again by the user just like on w10 proper, instead it just sticks to the current connection profile

I wonder if it should be possible to write a batch script to do this...or once we are able to jailbreak to change it in a custom rom? I have never wanted to change the dns on wifi though.
