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.

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!!!

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,

Ok guys, I could use some help here. I just upgraded to Vista 64 bit (probably a bit mistake.. but o well).
The first time I plugged in the phone it failed to install drivers, then it updated windows update with a new one. Installed that and I was able to access the phone (but not connect with WMDC).
The next time I connected the phone nothing happens anymore. I've gone through everything I can find for solutions and nothing seems to work (internet searches and searches here in the forums). Any suggestions would be welcomed!
The phone currently has MRH's 6.1 rom (vs 4.7) on it if that makes any difference. If you need any more info please let me know and I'll post it up.
Thanks!
has u tried to untick the enable advanced network functionality in settings, connections, USB to pc? I'm also using vista x64 and I can connect with this option unticked. I'm quite sure that I was able to connect with the option ticked previously, I'm not quite sure why I'm unable to do that now.
Can't believe something as simple as that was causing all my headaches and frustrations... thank you very much!!
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.

I have flashed into the E1 English ROM (the one without the opera browser) and encountered some issues, I might have had them in previous ROMs as well, and I am wondering whether there is a solution for them:
1) Cannot set the IE homepage, it will always refer back to SamsungMobile
2) Cannot sync via Blue-tooth, even though a partnership is set with my PC, and ActiveSync is enabled I keep getting a message: "Cannot connect using Bluetooth to a PC that supports ACtivesync. You may be out of range. Would you like to create a bluetooth partnership with a different PC?"
Clicking Yes does not help here and the Bluetooth wont sync
Did anyone find a resolution for this matters?
i have the original E1 rom, i dont think the activesync prob is related to the rom as mine has no prob activesyncing using BT since the A1 rom.
btw make sure u are using the latest activesync on the pc.
use your phone to detect your pc, not the other way around, then try activesync. if u still cant, use your pc's BT to establish a serial connection to the phone, then start activesync on your phone.
I have tried my damnedest to tether the Tilt 2 and a laptop running Windows XP. I have active sync 4.5 and and SP3 XP on the Laptop. I have also loaded the previous listed cab file on the forum for tethering. The laptop recognizes two generic serial items in the device manager, however when I direct it to the USB driver .inf file it will not load the manufacturer to add the generic serial modem.
I have searched through all previous postings, and cannot figure this one out.
Any help would surely be appreciated.
if u have a cooked ROM then you can tether wireless. or unlock the SPL and search for HTC WIFI tether .cab
Works with Vista
I can get the Tilt 2 to tether with a Vista machine. This XP laptop has been the pain.

Can you please be more specific? I'm in the same boat and new to this. Tethering worked right out of the box on my Treo and now I have to pack two phones and switch the SIM card when I need to tether.
Specifically, is there a particular ROM that I need or will all cooked ROMs work? Also, what do you mean by "unlock the SPL"?
Thanks!
