Hello,
We are developers of a Wireless Sales Automation Software for Windows Mobile. We recently had a situation of one of our clients’ employee using the equipment to access porn sites with the browser. We were wondering if there is a way to safely delete IE from the Windows Mobile and still allow internet access with our application.
Thanks
Guillermo
I don't think its possible because afaik windows mobile integrate ie in the ROM. and even if u did manage to delete it, users can still access it through opera or install some third party internet browsers... so best is block those porn sites thru ur internet gateway. good luck.

thanks....
The good thing is the employees using the equipment aren't very computer savvy. They are sales persons, so maybe I could try deleting the shortcuts to the IE executable.
Thanks
another thing... the users connect directly to the internet via the cellular company, so they do not pass-thru any of our gateways.
maybe there is some netnanny kinda software for pocketpc i would look into it if i were you
also who in their right mind would bother with pr0n on the ultra slow gprs network?
i mean all the popups and such from those sites would have the xda needing a softreset in no time
if they are really computer morons then maybe just removing the IE shortcut from start bar and programs would be enough ?
or you may run your software in a kiosk mode. This would prevent user from running anything else. Search for "spb kiosk" in google.
Hi, I will use Wlan to go online and not gprs, is there a tool to deactivate gprs permanently on Windows Mobile 6 ?
greets
well i don't know about permanent deactivation,
if i didn't want to use GPRS ever,
I'd probably just delete my access point name from the settings or something...
...or have you tried MoDaCo_NoData.CAB

Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Edward!! you rock! this has got to be the sweetest thing, since wm6..for me atleast, Im actually posting from my old hacked OSX x86, I really cant believe this worked, but it did.
Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

Your phone is now the router.

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

Hah! I knew I must have been missing something. Thanks.
WiFi & WM5?
Does this work on WM5? The instructions don't seem to match for me. Can someone tell me how to do this on WM5?

no it will not
THANK YOU
I have tried this out and it apprears to work pretty well- thank you so much, I had hoped this would be figured out. i had the idea to do this but not the technical know how.
This is awesome
but you know what would be also interesting?
to be able to share the wifi connection over Bluetooth or usb instead of the cellular.
Basically using the phone as a wifi adapter.
What say you?
titan 6800
Has any one gotten this to work with the 6800? The registry key for bluetooth is different.
Thanks
Garvin.

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.
man, i cannot belive this..
that is amazing

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Heh, it's cool dude - PPCGeeks got it from us - but check your research ;-) No point having duplicate threads.
I am trying to access the internet from my laptop using my O2 PDA as the modem with no success. I can access the internet on the phone OK. I link the phone to the laptop using the usb cable but I'm unable to access the internet.
I am running Vista Home Premium and Windows mobile 6.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
Enable Internet Connection Sharing option found in the Setting of the Mobile. This is a add on from WM 6 onwards.
/Raj
Whre abouts exactly. I have looked through the settings and can't find it
Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Internet Sharing.
Should be there
I feel like I should get ready to duck for asking such a question! Im both Windows and Mac savvy, but I am having some trouble now. No one in Tmobile or HTC or Apple customer support has been able to help. Ive searched the forums here and found some very helpful and interesting information! Just not for the problem I am having.
Initially I had no issues connecting my HTC bluetooth PAN network to my Macbook. I was able to go online with my mac and it was a lot faster and nicer than using the mobile browsers.
The USB connection refused to work and now my bluetooth PAN network refuses to connect saying that the remote device supports Network Access Point mode only.
Again I cannot seem to find any info on this particular problem please help!
Im using manilla TP2 settings, no roms or other 3rd party software.
Thanks to everyone who supports and runs XDA this is the only reliable source of info I have found for this phone!
I've used my Tilt2 with my G4 Powerbook via BT but I was using WMWifiRouter to handle the connectivity, not the built-in Connection Sharing. Maybe something got fubar'd with the BT stack on your TP2 and a hard reset is in order?
that is what i was thinking as well! thanks for the reply! glad to know there is at least one other windows mobile mac user out there! do you know of any compiled wiki or other source of info for these kind of mac problems?
