Network sharing for my PC; Steam, Origin etc. doesn't work - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi xda-developer guys,
I hope you can help me. I have a HTC one-M8 with official Android 6.0 on it. I moved to a new flatshare and we only have Wireless Lan and I have no W-Lan Card in my PC with WIN10 x64 on it. So I connected my smartphone to my pc via usb, connected the Smartphone with the Network via W-Lan in the flat. Now the problem is that Windows Store, Steam, Origin and stuff doesn't let me connect to their servers. I guess it is because the smartphone is used for the internet connection and their is a kind of recognition that there is a mobile device connected. I think this is the case because the computer sometimes opens the mobile versions of some websites as long as I am connected over my smartphone. Do you have an Idea if it is possible to turn the recognition of the smartphone off or mask it that the steam servers recognize it as a pc and don't refuse my connection? Thanks for Help in advance.

How to connect to internet on a laptop?

I have no problem to connect to the internet (to update weather, news etc) when I connect my P3300 to my desktop (which connect to the internet through a hardwire modem and a hardwire router). When I connect the P3300 to my laptop (the laptop is connect to internet through the WIFI rounter), I then cannot update those weather or news in my P3300. What setup do I need to change in the P3300 in order to be able to get to the internet through the laptop's WIFI connection? Thank you for any help.
Should happen automatically if you have a standing ActiveSync connection. No special settings needed. On the other hand - Check your firewall. Maybe some soft on the laptop is preventing your PDA from getting access to the internet!
Thanks Theonly1....one other thing though, I am using Vista ultimate x32....
not tried this yet but....just plug in and it will recognise the phone as a modem or GSM connection for internet surfing on the laptop?
Thanks again
Thanks for the feedback
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I have try to disable the firewall, but it still cannot connect to the internet. By the way, the laptop us window XT. If I enable the WIFI on the P3300, then it can connect to the internet by it's own WIFI. But if I disable it's own WIFI, then it did not connect to the internet throught the laptop's WIFI connection. I think there must be some setting in the network connection, so that it will be able to use the laptops WIFI and get information through it. But I do not know how. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again

internet through USB

hi ,
is it possible to connect my P3300 to the internet through USB that is connected to my desktop with windows ?
thanks in advance
p.s
i read the manuel and it doesn't mention

Yes, it is.
Just connect it to your pc. That's it.
Through Active Sync it will automatically recognize an existing internet connection. Works even via Bluetooth. You just neen an Active Sync Partnership with the device and then you connect it the way you want, Internet connection will then be shared

Sprint usb pc to phone modem needed asap. wm2003se

k. i live in the woods and my dsl modem fried from lightning last night. i have a ****ty isp that can only be reachable by submitting a service request via email since i work during their service hours of 12-3pm. i have to wait a week for a new modem
tldr; i need a program and directions that have proven to work'
here's my setup
windows xp sp3
audiovox 6600(camera)
windows mobile 2003se
usb cradle
well, what is your actual problem, connect your device to gprs, put it in the cradle and if activesync is set to accept, that the device runs wireless data connections, even while cradled, your internet connection should work. your pc should simply use the devices gprs then and automatically be connected to the internet. other alternatives (in case that doesn't work) would be, if you have wi-fi on your pc, you can try and install a wi-fi router software to your device and connect your pc to it just like with a normal access point, a freeware to try would be htc wifi router, although i fairly doubt any of those programs run with wm2003, but that should give you a clou, what to look for.
problem: wm2003se has no easy way to bum internet off of, only through the usb cable
sprint is cdma
there is no 802.11 wifi on this phone.
Still looking for help.

[Q] use pc internet on xperia arc

why sony ericsson doesnt allow to phone use the internet connection from pc ?
There's not much demand for it, most people have wifi routers these days.
You can use your PC's internet connection on your phone if you have Linux (through USB) or laptop (through Wi-Fi) with Conectify or similar programs.
Also, I don't think the blame's on SE, but on Android OS.
Yeah i guess this is about android and did u ever try to search about bluetooth connection? we were using this at java phones, example w series...
htc wildfire s has option for using pc net in mobile...
How is your computer connected to the internet? Cable? WiFi? Something else?
Does your computer have WiFi?
If your computer is connected via cable to modem/router, and it has WiFi, create a WiFi network to share the connetion and connect via your phone.
