Hi community !
Does anyone know how to share wired internet from the laptop, over wifi, to the Android phone ? What if the wired network (LAN) goes through a proxy server ?
What tools do we need, what settings has to be done ?
I think I found a solution only for the first part of my query, the LAN without proxy.
Please provide instructions on how to make a proper configuration. I did search on multiple forums, none of them are showing comprehensible way to accomplish this.
Thank you
To provide any help we would need to know your operating system, I think this is pretty obvious. Here are instructions to share your connection on Windows 7: http://lifehacker.com/5369381/turn-your-windows-7-pc-into-a-wireless-hotspot
Proxy configuration is located under advanced options when connecting to a WiFi network.
I'm using Windows 7.
Thanks for the tip on where the proxy settings location is in Android, for Wifi.
I'm still not able to connect using proxy on Wifi.
For Android, is there any similar location to enter proxy but for the mobile network, not the Wifi network?

Settings => More.. => Mobile networks => Access Point Names => Click on the APN which is checked
You can also use the app ProxyDroid if you're rooted.

Ever since i installed wm6 (black dymond or black 3.1), I can not connect to the internet using wifi.
It show i am connected to my router with good signal, but can not access any web site using IE. I am not connecting thry a proxy.
Can anyone help?
what carrier are you using
Try to disable the proxy and see what happens...long time problem for Cingular/At&t users...
If it's just throught WiFi that you have a problem then go to Settings / Connections / WiFi
Then click on the tab for Network Adaptors and ensure that the drop-down shows ... "My network card connects to: The Internet".
There is another more detailed explanation of this elsewhere in the forums - may need to search to find it.
Multiple proxies...ugh
I'm not sure which proxy you are talking about...but on my WM6, I had to go into the Windows menu -> Programs -> Proxy Manager -> and select Disable Proxy for my Wifi to work. It seems like this program shortcut is independent from "Connections" proxy settings.
Try that and see if it works. It fixed my problem.

I will try the proxy manger.
I do have the connect to "the internet" box checked under Wifi tab.
not linked to black only
After a lot of effort I can now connect to a secure network but have no internet either. With a unsecure network I have no problems with the internet. strange. I have tried a few roms and for me they all share this problem.
I do not have a seperate program for proxy server to disable!!
When I tried the Black Dymond, I downloaded Custals Proxy cabs as I had the same issue. Here it is....
I have black 3 and I have the same problem. When I connect to an unsecure and opened wifi, I am cannot connect with ie. I am getting "page is not found'.
I do not have the proxy manager in programs. I have selected 'internet' for wifi. any solutions?
Hey Everyone,
I have just upgraded my device to Windows Mobile 6 so I had to install Activesync 4.5 and I would like to access my pc's internet connection (which is adsl) when it is connected via USB. But when I connect my device via USB it doesn't seem to have access to internet at all even though it should be automatic as far as I know. I guess some things should be done in settings but don't know what they exactly are. Would you be so kind as to help me by writing every single step I should take to make it work?
I would also like to access my pc's net via Bluetooth but I think it's going to be more difficult to set. I have a bluetooth adapter with Bluesoleil software and I don't know what I should do to synchronize my device with pc via bluetooth using Activesync 4.5. I guess after making it work, accessing my pc's net via Bluetooth wouldn't be a big problem.
I hope you have ideas what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance!
when in settings->networking->usb to pc->enable advanced network functions is checked
and connetions->advanced->select networks is set to my work network
when ever the pda is connected to activesync using usb or bluetooth
the network which is being used is that of the pc
unless the pc is set to otherwise
Thanks for your short reply. I have done as you wrote, but it still doesn't work.
at settings->connections->connections->My work Network there are 4 things:
-Add a new modem connection
-Edit my VPN servers (I have tried to add a VPN server but didn't know the exact settings)
-Set up my proxy server
-Manage existing connections (I have also added a cellular modem connection and *99# is supposed to be dialled but I didn't do any other settings)
So I guess there are things here that should be changed. For example at VPN, what should be the name of the Server? My computer's name? and there's a part at which it requires a Username and a Password and also a Domain marked with a *. What should I write in these fields? The usernam and password that are set to connecting to the internet on my pc or something else?
I might have to check the settings of my as well, I guess. What settings should be checked on it?
Thanks in advance!!!
I might have to check the settings of my pc as well, I guess.*
Sorry I left out a word.
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
dropdownbox is set to my work network
to spell it more out
It is set that way, but it still doesn't work. This is why I think I should change things either on my pc or in My Work Network settings (the 4 menu points I mentioned). But I did everything the way you wrote in your first reply and despite this fact it still doesn't work. So I'm out of idea
The network where I work uses ISA and has all workstations setup to go through the GATEWAY in order to access the WWW. They have a unsecured wireless network, and my Trinity can connect perfectly fine. I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 and can connect to the wireless AP with no problem. When I launch Internet Explorer Mobile, it shows the default page, but complains that the page cannot be displayed when I try to go to any website - my guess is because Internet Explorer needs to be setup to use the gateway/proxy (just like the workstations are). But I do not see any options to type in the name and port of the gateway/proxy. Do i need a seperate proxy application for the phone/IE or are there registry settings or some other settings elsewhere that I cant find that need setting?
Any ideas?
Nevermind, ignore me... i forgot that there was a proxy settings section under Settings > Connections. my bad.
Hi guys.
I'm trying to get my TP2 to work over wifi using my works proxy server...
I've managed to get it to connect fine at home, and can get it to connect to sites which do not require the proxy to access, but when I need to use the proxy, it just won't access (as if the proxy server is not set up correctly).
Now maybe I don't have it set up correctly?! This is what I've got:
Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks:
Programs the automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: mobile web
Programs the automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network
The "mobile web" option was set up by the Settings -> Communications -> Data Connection, and allows me to use gprs/hsdpa to connect to my provider (O2).
Is there something I have set up wrong? Or is there a way that I can get it to connect to the internet using the work proxy?
Many thanks,
David
Surely someone can help me to get the correct set up for this?
Another bump in case someone decides that they might know a way?
i am also having the same problem, my uni requires all http traffic to go through a web cache proxy script. iv tryed all sorts and it generally just ends up freezing as soon as i try connect to a remote web page
Me too, having the same issue. I managed to connect to my company WiFi after spending the effort of downloading and installing the certificates.
With a big breath, when I connected to Internet, nothing worked. And spent nearly an hour searching this forum for a resolution but couldnt get hold of anything.
Our company uses a URL with the option of 'Use automatic configuration script' in IE. And I dont how to configure this in my TP2.
Man, just checked with my colleague having an iPhone. It was a breeze. The HTTP Proxy has 3 options 1. On, 2. Off 3. Auto and when you enable Auto, it allows to enter the URL with the field label URL. Its a breeze. Why is it so difficult in WM????
Bump....
Please, anyone can give some pointers or if it is not doable? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Reply from HTC on this....
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we are sorry because HTC phone can only automatic receive the Wifi signal or use SSID to access to the Wifi network, it cannot check the URL to get the connection.
You can go to Start - Settings - All Settings - Connections - Wifi. Please turn on Wifi there first. Then go to Advanced. Please take a note for the MAC address there and go to your server to add this MAC address to connect it with your phone.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Dear All,
Managed to resolve this. My issue was that we had an Automatic Configuration Script in the IE. Hence managed to look into the script for the Proxy Server and the port and set it up in the 'My Work' connections. Also edited the WiFi connection to connect to 'My Work' and i got it working.

Hy, I think the ip which is shown there is providet via DHCP from the DHCP-Server of your carrier. Your Laptop is in the same IP-Area because you use your phone a modem.

hy, i think changing the app doest solve your problem.
You need to be in the same network with your Laptop.
Is there an Error Page in your browser?
You need to Install a Port-Forwarding, or else you cant acess it from the internet, furthermore you need to know the external ip of your college's
network. For further help pm me or write down the ip's an the used networkmask here.
