Trying to connect to a shared internet connection from a imac running osx 10.5.3. On the phone the network is detected as if is a router and it will not let me select the "this is a device to device (ad-hoc) connection" check box, it will not connect. when adding the network by hand and selecting this check box I am still unable to connect to the network.
Other device on my network are able to connect to this connection with no problem.
I am hoping someone has tried this sort of setup before and can possible share a bit their knowledge with me. Any help is appreciated.
Is your phone an att tilt?
Not a tilt, its a HTC Excalibur branded as a T-mobile Dash. Though I do have a Tilt available to test the network with, that will be my next step in troubleshooting.

I see, I asked cause it says it on your bottom signature.
Hi,
I am wondering if you were able to resolve your issue. I am in the same situation, but with a HTC touch and a HTC Magic.
I am unable to connect with either device to the network shared by my mac. However, other mac machines are able to access the network.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks!
Michael

Hi Everyone,
I know there are already a lot of posts out there on this but I have tried them all to no avail. I have an unlocked HTC S620 (not Dash) upgraded to WM6 that I use with AT&T. I have the Smartphone Connect Unlimited plan and would like to tether it to my Vista Business laptop. I am able to connect it via bluetooth and the network center recognizes an established connection, but it says it's 'Local Only' and has not access to the internet. Same thing happens when I tether via USB. I have already tried completely disabling the firewall and that does not help either. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
J.
I'm assuming you're using Windows Mobile Device Center? If so, under
Open Windows Mobile Device Center
Goto Mobile Device Settings --> Connection Settings
Allow Data Connections on Device when connected to PC
I checked and the option is already checked. The connection occurs and it does show that I am connected to a network but it just says that it's only a local connection, not internet.
Figured out what my problem was. I just had to change the naming convention of my connection on the phone.
Hi guys,
i need to use my tp2 as dialup usb modem trought my pc. I rember that i can do it with a old htc tytn II ...
Now the qestion is: can i do the same with a tp2 ? I need install a driver ? Which ?
I need use the tp2 for connect to a remote modem NOT for share a internet connection.
Thanks in advance.
create a new connection use cellular line enter the number and user and pass and whatever else then go to internet sharing but use that connection. and it will actually dial to use as dial up...
but i dont really see the point because even tho its dialing a number isnt it still using data FROM the carrier because it has to transfer?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
I need to connect my htc tp2 to my notebook using a usb cable for start a dialup connection trought windows.
In really i have install on my notebook a RemoteAccess Software that use a dial up modem (and for this i would use my htc) for a number and connect t remote appliance
So i thinks that if i create a new connection cellular line on my tp2 is a not good solution.
About 4 years ago i rember that can do it with my htc tytn using a usb driver form htc cd-rom and install it on my windows system.
Now anybody have you any idea for do it with my tp2 ?
thanks in advance.
Hi ,
anybody have a idea ?
thanks
The previous answer is the way you need to go.
Your speaking in circles, if your PC is dialing a number you need to replace that with your phones connection.
In other words, whatever software on your pc that needs to connect to the internet should use one of the connections you setup, one being "Cellular".
Updated....
I think after a few reads I get you.
Your PC is dialing an access number directly into a remote server?
So you need the phone to just be a telephone line for the PCs modem to dial over?
And you would like to know how to do this through USB?
Is this correct?
I don't know how to do that but my clarification of your question may help get you an answer.
Question can't the server be access by IP address?
Then you could use the phones internet connection.
Good Luck.

NO i need to call a remote server with a direct connection (no internet, no ip)
Anybody have a idea ?
Thanks in advance-
I used to do this (dial-up) and since I switched to Verizon PC card I no longer remember how I did it... I think I installed a usb modem driver for my phone, but it wasn't a Touch Pro2...
I work for a faily large UK company and im trying to setup an HTC Touch Pro 2 (Unbranded on BT-Mobile). I have managed to get everything setup as i want including a VPN connection to my works internal network. Currently this requires having 2 network connections setup in the settings of this device... one for GPRS and one for "My Work Network" which automatically connects when required. Now the only problem im having is users can browse on these devices unrestricted however our PCs all require browsing is done through a proxy. I have tried every possibly setup on this device to route traffic through our proxy server but i have had no luck.
Has anyone managed to set this up?
Is it even possible as they wouldnt be connected to the VPN while browsing via GPRS?
Any hints/tips?
Im really loosing my mind with this one.
Thanks in advance!
bump, no ideas anyone?
it is very easy go to setup and connection ,, and than again connection,, that down u will find general, modem, vpn,, hope u can make inside other details
Has anyone else tried to connect via WiFi to another phone over WiFi shared internet successfully?
I got my HTC HD7 WP7 today for development, so no plan. I was upset to find out the inability to connect to the hidden WiFi at my work is a known/"by design" issue; however, I quickly went to my fallback plan of using my HTC TP2's (Touch Pro 2) WiFi Internet Sharing/Tethering (CM Internet Sharing). However, this did not detect either! This is not a hidden network, and uses WEP protection. The WP7 phone did successfully find and connect to other networks, so it's not the phone.
Has anyone else tried this or can anyone else confirm this? This phone would be a whole lot more useful to me if I could have a connection on-the-go, as I planned!
Thank you!
I am posting without a lot of technical expertise/knowledge, however if WP7 is at all similar to the Operating System that the Zune HD has (I believe it is quite alike), and the TP2 is at all similar to the HTC HD2, then I guess I might have an answer.
The HTC HD2 creates a Wifi Network, which the Zune HD cannot see. The reason is the network is created as a "computer to computer" network on Windows Mobile 6, and for some reason the Zune HD cannot see Computer to Computer networks. You have a way of knowing wether your TP2 is doing the same as my HD2, by turning on the wireless connection sharing on the TP2, and then using your laptop or notebook PC, and looking at the available wireless networks and their properties. If you are using Vista or Windows 7, Computer to Computer networks have an icon right next to them showing two small computer monitors.
Let me know what you find.
Great point! You are correct, and that explains it and makes sense. I guess if WP7 doesn't even support "hidden" networks yet, there's very slim hope for computer-to-computer networks in the near future. Disappointing.
Hi,
I'm stuck for a while without internet access except via 3G. I've got a dev phone running the Mango beta 2.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I could make a proxy server or any other kind of tethering for it.
I was looking to use HttpListener or Sockets.Listen but both are unavailable for the phone.
I thought I might have to make a server application for the laptop that has a proxy server listening port and a phone listening port then have an application on the phone that connects to the server app. Once established, pass requests on from the laptop app to the phone app and get the phone to do the requests.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to do this over sockets is limited and if anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Depending on which phone you have it might be possible to switch into teethering mode in the MFG app (usually installed by dialing ##634#).
HTC 7 Trophy .. I'm not aware of a way to use tethering on that.

Do you have a old Windows mobile 6.5 device sitting around ? Then for the temp window you need it, switch ESN/SIM to your 6.5 device, wi-fi teather, then swap back ESN/SIM when you need it...
Depending on your carrier....I know with Verizon, I can change hardware on-line
I'm unaware of how the network stack works in WP7.
If you're connected to WiFi, in your application can you choose to use 3G or WiFi? Maybe there are some P/Invoke calls you could do?
If so, then connect your phone to a router ... same with your laptop. Then relay HTTP(S) between the two connections.
Otherwise, we'll need to be able to execute native applications.
