First, make sure you mobile has connected to your pc thru usb.
"At the PC side"
next, open Microsoft ActiveSync, open menu File->Connection Settings...
and, make sure 'Allow usb connection' is checked, and the value of drop-down list 'This computer is connected to' is either 'Automatic' or 'Internet'.
"On the Mobile"
I am not sure the exact words in English edition, as my mobile is Chinese edition. So i will try to use the words which fit into the meaning that they described.
Start->Set up(maybe Setting)->Connection tab->Connection.
make sure the value of drop-down list 'Network Adapter is connected to' is 'Internet'
so, everything will be fine.
hope you enjoy it.
it's not working
On your PC
// -- Microsoft ActiveSync --//
"File"->"Connection Settings" ->
(1) check 'Allow USB connection'
(2) 'This computer is connected to' -> 'Internet'
// -- On your device -- //
"Start"->"Setting"->"Connections" tab ->
(1) "Connection" -> "Advance" tab -> "Select Network"
-> the options for "Programs that ... the Internet should connect using:"
choose the option "My Work Network"
(2) "Network Cards" -> "My Network card connects to" -> "The Internet"
(3) "Network Cards" -> "Remote-NDIS Host"
Select "Use server-assigned IP address"
// -- Now test your connection before trying the option below -- //
If "Use server-assigned IP address" above doesn't work use
"Use specific IP address"
IP address: 196.254.2.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 196.254.2.1
// -- How to test your connection -- //
- Unplug your USB cable (if it is plugged-in when you change the setting)
- Plug your USB cable
- Wait for your activesync to complete.
- Use IE in your device to test connection
ps: Some software (i.e. WorldMate) doesn't seems to work even I have connection on other sofware (i.e. IE).

I am considering purchasing the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. I need the ability to connect a wireless device to my laptop while I travel. Can I connect the T-Mobile pocket pc phone to my laptop? If so, do I need a cable for that or can I do it via IR?
Thanks,
Brian
Wireless modem on XDA is serial cable or irda. Be sure to disable activesync before and connect your phone to laptop before pushing the "start", button.
So will W2K automatically detect it as a modem?
Well, actually not really. Regarding the infra red connection, I had to install first a virtual infra red port (http://www.cyber-mill.com/irdaw2k.zip), and then install on it the standard 33.6 Modem.
If you want, I can post how to do this, step by step, and it works.

in this thread there is an url to a pdf which explane how you do it step by step
USING XDA AS A MODEM
example for GPRS connection
Before installation, note carefully (for your GPRS connection):
The access point name of your network provider
Your username and password
PS: if you don't know the access point name, open -on your device- settings/connections/internet settings
press on modify... then press on your GPRS connection
press on next: you will see the access point name.
Preliminary step: for infrared use only (skip for serial connection)
unzip irdaw2k (download from: http://www.cyber-mill.com/irdaw2k.zip)
click on setup, wait till end of installation
open your pc control panel/system/hardware/device manager
Click on ports and note on what port the infrared virtual com is installed (example: com5)
Step one: installing modem
open control panel/phone and modem options
choose modems tab. click add...
check don't detect modem
select from standard modem types: standard 33600bps
click next. install on selected port (com5 in this example)
after end of installation, click on properties for the modem
on tab Modem, confirm maximum speed 115200
on advanced, extra initialization type: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","xxx","",0,0
where xxx is the access point name of your network provider
select change default preferences
change flow control to none
clik OK to finish
Step two: setup the network
In control panel/network connections/ select file/new connection
select connect the internet, then manual setup
choose connect using modem. confirm the standard 33600bps
Give a name to the ISP
Choose: *99# as phone number.
write your username and password
do not use dialing rules
Step three: using XDA
Make sure activesync is disabled
Once connected through serial port or facing IR
Open wireless modem. choose connection (serial or IR)
click on start
wait for confirmation of connection on PC
Start dial-up from PC
ps: during this time, GSM phone line is disconnected
It reconnects automatically after disconnecting the modem

generally, the incoming serial port for the pc over bluetooth is COM7.
however, sometimes it is not available to select in activesync or wmdc(for vista).
you can try to set it manually. try the followings:
- if your PC and phone is already bound over bluetooth, delete the relationship.
- start -> run -> regedit (enter)
- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
- you will see a REG_SZ (string) value named as "SerialPort". change it to COM7
- reboot the PC. try to bind over bluetooth again. this time you should see "ActiveSync Service" not "Serial Port" during the binding process. start the binding process from your phone, not from the PC.
if the incoming serial port is different than COM7, then use it. I am sure there is something in the control panel to let you add/delete/modify that setting. check it before starting.
good luck.

It's ok,also need to del the unused serial port
Thank you
Hello
I've managed to select the incoming port in Activesync to COM6
and set the outgoing port on my S200 to COM6
but the pda is reporting that he doesn't find a computer that supports Activesync, although they are paired
I'm using the Widcomm stack
the widcomm program is reporting these 3 services are available on the pda:
- Connect NPA & Dialup & voice Gateway, serial port is not one of them
I used to be able to choose whether I wanted to toggle activesync mode or storage mode when plugging in my htc hd2 to my pc's usb port. Now the box doesn't appear anymore (tried two desktop computers so far) and it goes straight into storage mode, and windows pops up the window asking what to do (Play, copy, print, open folder, no action, etc.).
I searched the phone up and down for an activesync option (I thought I'd seen it somewhere), but couldn't find it.
Could anyone please tell me how to reenable activesync without hardresetting?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I'm running an Energy rom.
Setings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC. Then select the 'ask me first about USB connection....'

Thanks a lot fred! It was right in front of my nose!
I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).
