Short and simple... is there a way to use the Internet Sharing program on WM6 to share my Cingular 3g connection with my Linux OS (Ubuntu 7.04)? preciate it!
i'm going to follow this thread..
btw, the ubuntu forums are amazing, someone on there might know! http://ubuntuforums.org/
i use ubuntu on my main general use laptop.. few other distros around the house.

Technically speaking, short and simple - yes. But in reality that depends on how friendly you are with Linux.
RNDIS is supported on Linux these days. Here is an interesting alternative approach if compiling kernels is above your head - install VMware and tether with "host only" networking. Good luck.
Are they (WM6 and Linux) able to syncronise yet?
I could never get SynCE working, nor find instructions on how to get it working either. Even tried a VMWare Windows client, but because Linux wouldn't recognise the WM5/6 at the USB driver level, then the VMWare session couldn't either.
That was about 12 mths ago though ... does/can it work now?
Not to Hi-Jack the thread but I would also like to do this on OS X.
Unix/Linux- Gotta be a Script out there?
I had a great Modem Script that shared my HSDPA connection over WM5 and OS X but it dosent work with XDA Live 2.0 WM6...

On OSX make sure your device has the "Network Access Point" bluetooth profile and tether by using bluetooth PAN. You'll need to use the internet sharing app in the phone before it will work.
I'm not sure how to get it working over USB, but bluetooth is faster the the edge connection I get with the phone so I never tried.
Thanks for your reply. I will give it a go tomorrow!
Muchos ta.

I guess it's time for you to revisit SynCE

For me - doesn't work. But I haven't try very hard, to be honest.

I am using VMWare 6.0 Beta with WinXP Pro as guest in Fedora Core 6 host. I can use ActiveSync to synchronize my Hermes and Outlook with no problems at all. Strange that yours doesn't work. :-o
@roostar
I typed up a long guide on how to do this, but the somehow lost it(I love testing betas, but there are reasons they are beta[my browser I'm talking about])
Basically, You need a new modem script which I have uploaded for you here
There are many guides on how to do this, here is one:
Here are the steps I followed to tether my 8525 to my PowerBook G4. Should work for any Mac w/ Bluetooth.
Download the HTC TyTN modem script from: http://www.box.net/public/zxjp6ummyz
Drag the “HTC TyTN” script to your Hard Drive’s “Library/Modem Scripts”
On your 8525, click “Start/Settings/Connection/Bluetooth.” Check both “Turn on Bluetooth” and “Make this device discoverable to other devices.”
Use your Mac to establish a new Bluetooth connection with the 8525. If the Bluetooth Icon is in your top right toolbar, scroll down to “Set Up Bluetooth Device…”
Check “Any Device” (My Mac did not recognize my 8525 as a Mobile phone and calls it “Pocket PC”).
Check “Pocket PC” and “Continue.”
Follow the instructions for entering the Passkey on the 8525 and hit “next”. In Bluetooth Setup, make sure to select your device for use to connect to the internet.
Now fill in the Bluetooth settings on the Mac:
Sevice Provider: Any name you want, i.e “Cingular”
Account Name: [email protected] (ALL CAPS)
Password: CINGULAR1 (ALL CAPS)
Telephone: *99#
Check PPP Options and make sure “Use TCP header compression” is NOT checked.
Click the blue “Bluetooth Modem” bar and for the Modem’s drop down menu and check “HTC TyTN.”
On the 8525 go to Start/Programs/Wireless Modem.” Change the “Connection Type” from USB to Bluetooth. On the right soft key, hit “Menu/Start.”
Now you are ready to connect. Open “Internet Connect” go to “Bluetooth” and click “Connect.”
Everytime you want to tether the 8525 to the Mac, you will have to go to “Wireless Modem” first and turn it on before connecting with “Internet Connect.”

There are many, many, many guides on how to do this. If what I have given you is not enough, then do some googling. Google is your friend. It may take a minute or two to find exactly what you want, but if someone else has even had the same problem as you, you will find it. Here is another guide for you.
These are all for Cingular, excuse me At&T... but if you have another carrier, you can find the settings here at Ross Barkman's homepage. he maintains a list of u/p for various carriers(international) and has done more for one's ability to connect to the internet using bluetooth through your phone's nternet connection. It is a great resource.
Everything I have given you should at least get well on your way, if not all the way there. It works well(better when I use it where they have 3g, in my area[sw. florida] it will be installed later this year ).
Hope this helps.

@ jaysmith
Thanks m8. I flashed to Black Dymond 3.5 which has new BT stack with PAN support.
Pair / Join network / Job Done.
Thanks again.

About to bump a really old thread:
As of today, I have USB tethering working with Internet Sharing and WM6. You have to use the usb-rndis-lite driver from the synce project and apply a patch to it to get it to recognize the hermes in Internet sharing mode. For me I prefer USB tether since I don't run my battery dead as quickly without BT on. In any case, if anyone's interested in the patch I'd ask on the linux-usb-devel mailing list or check the archives there. Hopefully it'll be in the kernel sometime... if it ever makes it all you'll have to do to get your hermes to work is plug it in.
Ok...found the magic bullet for anyone that is still looking to do this. I took this from pdaphonehome LINK
I now have my 8925 tilt working as a cellular modem for my laptop running Ubuntu 7.10. This solution actually works really well...if anyone has trouble hit me up I can get you through it.
----Quoted----
After many hours of tinkering, I got USB tethering with wvdial.
First, start the Wmodem program on the Tilt and select USB. Then click Menu-->Start
On the command line type: /sbin/modprobe ipaq vendor=0x0bb4 product=0x00cf
Now plug in your USB cable
If you type dmesg you should see that ttyUSB0 is now initialized
Create a /etc/wvdial.conf with the following:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = off
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATZ+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.CINGULAR"
Init3 =
Init4 =
Init5 =
Init6 =
Init7 =
Init8 =
Init9 =
Phone = *99#
Phone1 =
Phone2 =
Phone3 =
Phone4 =
Dial Prefix =
Dial Attempts = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
#Ask Password = on
Password = CINGULAR1
Username = [email protected]
Auto Reconnect = off
Abort on Busy = off
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = on
Idle Seconds = 0
Auto DNS = on
Lastly create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial containing the 2 lines:
lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0
Now at a command prompt type wvdial
You should see it connect and get an IP address
You can put the modprobe statement in /etc/rc.local
Hope this helps... it works for me (I am posting this via the USB tether right now)
Also, can an admin change this thread name and add a SOLVED to it?

You can accomplish this relatively easy by using a bluetooth dongle. I think this would work with MAC too. With Bluetooth its using standard bluetooth internet sharing/networking technology, whereas Activesync is a bit more Microsoft-centric.
Google around the ubuntu forums for some tips. There are some threads out there with this topic. I was successful at it, but unfortunatley I don't remember the exact steps. I"ll poke around my laptop later and see if I can't dig up the script i created.
Plugging the bluetooth dongle in every time became a PITA and a drain on my phone's battery so i just switch over to my windows partition if I really need some 3G action.
I also made it work with a Windows VM running under Virtual BOX in Ubuntu. Again, not as elegant, but it worked.
Good luck.
Two Way Street?
Is there any way of reversing this? For instance, using the Ubuntu box's internet to pass through on to the WM device (Internet-->Ubuntu-->WM). I currently have an IP address via rndis (169.254.2.2) on my Ubuntu for my WM device, but am uncertain how to get the packets to "jump" to my eth1 device. Any help would be appreciated.
I can't get it to phone home. I get the following error when I... "wvdial".

I use a HTC-S710 smartphone and want to change the Wifi MAC address.
Does someone know if this is possible by changing ROM or registry values.
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=change+mac+address+pocketpc&btnG=Søg&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en
I've added a string value NetworkAddress with the spoofed MAC (e.g "112233445566" or "11-22-33-44-55-66") to HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms
The function NdisReadNetworkAddress in ndis.dll reads the new MAC if the driver allows sw configuration of MAC (don't know where that is controlled).
See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa910317.aspx
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Would be great if someone can provide more clues.
Although the ndis.dll in my Vox WM6 contains NdisReadNetworkAddress() it seems not to be used or perhaps overruled.
PS: Rudegar I know google
yeah another person with wm6 reported that it dident work too
:S
Hi,
I've a new question for the community:
I'm working under linux (mandriva for professional of tux) with a PC dell latitude D600 which doesn't have a bluetouth connectivity.
Is someone know a tip to connect my HTC to this system, someting like activesync under linux ... could he tell me that ?!
Big thank
SynCE
Try SynCE and multisync. But, as far as I know, this device is not yet supported.
If you can make it, please post a small how-to
you're right ! not yet supported, i've test it before !!!
so ...
You can use a program such as WM5torage to change the Trinity into an "external USB key" to copy programs onto your SD card. But of course, if you're looking to sync contacts/agenda, then that won't do it.
It comes in handy to copy over CAB files however.
Hi every one,
I have paired an external BT GPS , and every time that i want to use it with TomTom or Oziexplorer, i have to manually connect to it as BT manager ask.
Any clue on doing this automatically as it was before in other devices with Broadcom stack?
Thanks.
Try to install "GPSGATE 2" ...
GPSGATE will create a virtual port that u can use with TT or Ozie.
for example : GPSGATE found my Royaltek (by Bluetooth) and do a virtual port com 4 (u can choose the number), after that, in tomtom or Ozie i choose my "gpsgate virtual" port 4 (i believe it's named "Franson" port) ...
...and that's all !
GPSGATE must be start with your device (see in options) ...

That is one of the things that i tried, but still asking if i want to connect it.
Thanks any away.
Strange...because, as i start TT, gpsgate look after my BT GPS and switch on automatically BT on TP2...and connect to GPS !
I do nothing, only start TT ...
I think that the difference between us is that mine is an Spanish rom.
Also i can't change the settings for external gps at wm settings page.
Perhaps it is a bug on Spanish rom, who knows.
