I would like to use the Wallaby as a modem: It connects to the internet and allows my pc to use that connection. With the HTC Hermes and WM 6, this is easy: I just use "Internet sharing", and then the Hermes connects to the internet (using my GPRS internet connection) and everything works. Just, I have not yet found a similar feature for the Wallaby. I am using some kind of ROMKitchen's version, but it does notprovide the same feature. I have a program called "wireless modem" which allegedly does the same, but it does not (apart from the fact that it only works via infrared).
In short, I would just like to use the Wallaby with WM 2003 in the same manner as a modem for my pc as the Hermes.
1. Is there any freeware available in order to accomplish this goal?
2. would an upgrade to WM 2003 SE help?
Thanks for any help.
Michael
internet sharing that you are using on your hermes is only available in wm5/wm6 and as you cannot upgrade the wallaby to wm5/6 then i am afraid you wont be able to use this feature on the wallaby.
Thank you very much for answering. There is no software-based alternative available, either?

Rudegar , that link describes how to share the internet from the pc to allow the wallaby internet access.
What michael here wants. is to have internet access on his pc via the wallaby. As i have already said though i doubt anybody has even bothered developing internet sharing on the wallaby, i would hate to imagine the slow speed you would get from a wallaby
no only the first one is about that

Hi folks,
as you can see my Pretec SD WIFI Card works fine with WM2005. And know I would like to get some WIFI Tools which are working with this configuration.
I just testet WIFIGRAPH, WIFIFOFUM and Wifi Tools and non of these worked.
Is there somebody out there with the same configuration and a solution?
Thank you very much in advance.
I had WiFiFoFum working on 2005...
I used the SmartPhone WLAN drivers though..
Sadly, I re-installed 2003SE.. ..so I can't help you debug..
Thank you very much for your reply. Just one question: What do you mean with "SmartPhone WLAN drivers"? The built in drivers? Got a link?
Thank you very much in advance.
Terms used in this post:
Pocket PC - A handheld device that has a 320x240 touch screen and runs Windows Mobile 2002/2003/2003SE
SmartPhone - A handheld device that looks like a mobile phone and runs some kind of Windows OS...
WM5 - Windows CE 5.0 (uncorrectly reffered to as Windows Mobile 2005)
U see, WM5 is sort of a merge between Pocket PC and SmartPhone if you look at the OS structure..
You can run SOME applications that were made for SmartPhones on WM5.
You can run MOST applications that were made for Pocket PC on WM5.
This is mainly because the hardware specs are more similar to a Pocket PC than a SmartPhone.
The WLAN drivers produced for Pocket PC (WM200x) doesn't work on WM5.
How ever, the drivers for the same WLAN card written for the SmartPhone OS does work under WM5.
All you need to do, is visit the pretec, sandisc, socket or what ever webpage, download the files for a SmartPhone and install these on your Himalaya..
It should work like a charm!
And I do think there was a post somewhere around here that had a link and description..
Maybe if we do some SEARCHING?
Thank you very much for your explanation and thank you very much for the hint of SEARCHING, but I did some searching yesterday on this forum and used some googling.
Anyway, the driver from Pretec works like a charm and I can connect to other machines and in the Internet. The only think, is that the WiFi Tools don't work.
Thats the only problem.
Well, good to hear that you got the WLAN up and running..
I do believe that I got WiFiFoFum working, but I might be wrong..
I updated my 8525 with the official AT&T AKU 3.5.2. When I enable Internet Sharing and connect the phone via USB to my Mac, it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens.
With AKU 3.3, this was not an issue. I tried it on a Macbook Pro and a Macbook with the same result. No problem using Bluetooth PAN, but slow.
Just for the fun of it, I tried Internet Sharing with Windows XP running in Parallels, and it works fine via USB cable.
Anyone having the same issue? Any registry hacks or drivers to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Ted
There must be a Mac user here who upgraded t AKU 3.5.
What do you mean by "it kills Bluetooth and nothing happens"?
Does it kill your bluetooth on your mac or on your 8525?
Are you trying to both do internet sharing via USB and connect to your Mac via Bluetooth from your 8525 at the same time?

After I enable ICS on my 8525, and connect the USB cable to MAC, somehow, the bluetooth on my MAC gets disabled [Bluetooth Not Avaible message with the icon grey out], and my 8525 still says "check USB cable". But, there's no connection. I made sure that BT is disabled on my phone, and PC to USB is unchecked.
Just as a test, I connected my 8525 to another MAC that doesn't even have Missing Sync and the same thing happened. With ICS on, USB connection basically disables Bluetooth. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that happens. USB shouldn't interfere with Bluetooth.
In the meantime, it works fine with PC.
Hope someone can shed some insight.

Any MAC user here willing to help a poor sould?

I see the same thing on AKU 3.5 and Tiger 10.4.9 when I just tried it. Once 10.4.9 came out and supported PAN, I stopped using the USB connection. I still get 400kbps or so with Bluetooth, so there's I don't really have a reason to use USB (plus the Hermes drains a MacBook Pro's battery rather fast - I can drain a notebook battery in an hour with the phone plugged in vs. 3 hours without).
Jmat, thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it's not just my phone. I hope this can be fixed though. I do use BT PAN with OS X 10.4.9, but it would be nice to have the USB option since it's about 2x faster.
I cannot understand why USB connection would wipe out Bluetooth on my MAC though.
I know someone here will figure it out.
eh, 10.4.9 supports pan? news to me. i use my pc more than my mac, so i think i only have 10.4.8. i have the latest aku (as far as i know) from the newest cingular rom. i'll give it a shot.
Internet Sharing + OS X
I was able to tether 8525 to powerbook G4 thru bluetooth for internet connection. Then clicking the dropdown for the phone icon and clicking bluetooth. It would dial then authenticate, and I would be connected to the internet. In doing that, I needed to download Tytn modem script for mac modem, it worked great! However, I recently upgraded the ROM (2.06)on the 8525, and now Internet Sharing is the protocol for for Wireless Modem. This method directs the device to connect thru bluetooth by joining the network associated with the Pocket PC, once connected in the bluetooth icon dropdown, I try to access webpages and I get "Not Connected to the Internet."
I've heard of AKU, can someone please refresh my memory, and will it be necessary to update to correct my issue?
Can someone please assist me with using the 8525 to tether with a Powerbook G4 to connect to the internet?
**NOTE** Also, MissingSync for 8525 does not work since the ROM update. I was never successful connecting to it thru BT, but it worked great thru USB. Now I try to connect thru USB , the connection is lost when attempting to start MissingSync app. Any Ideas??
Thank you

Internet Sharing + OSX
I've been using my Hermes to connect to the internet from my powerbook for a few month (BT connection). It was working OK although conflicting with direct push.
Since I upgraded to AKU 3.3 and use internet sharing, it is now much more reliable, connects fast and transparently.
I recently got MissingSync to work, by enabling advanced USB settings thru the phone.
My other issue that is still unresolved is that when I connect the BT PAN from the phone, and join network from the BT setting from the MAC, I connect successfully, but I still can not access internet on MAC. It appears that there are internal settings that need to be altered to access web pages once connected thru BT PAN/Internet share? Any Ideas, please help! Thank you.

Can you tell me how you set up the connection? I've paired my Hermes and Powerbook, turned internet sharing on, I can join the PAN network but the Powerbook refuses to connect to the internet.
PB PAN
Have you set your network conf to Automatic?
I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.
I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.
However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).
Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...
Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).
Thanks for your help
My very basic guess is that you need to use the Internet Connection Sharing program on windows mobile, as just paring the devices won't do anything.
So I guess I fire ICS up and and choose Bluetooth PAN and then try to see if TomTom sees it.?
I'll try tonight and report back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.
I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?
Any other ideas?
Is a well known problem since WM5 AKU 3.0, DUN disappeared (Dial Up Network, using WM as remote modem, via Activesync or BT)
Any TOM TOM Go and TOM TOM One, (not used by ATHENA users, we have our GPS) need IT to be connected with the PDA. In some cases DUN could be usefull also for Athena users, but it was removed from latest WM5 and WM6 Rom (the majority of Nokia and Sony smartphones have it)
Now someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 posted the .cab to restore it on a TyTN.
Sleuth put it on his new rom, I've tested on my X7500 (HTC WM6 rom) and I am having some config problem on the USB side...
My be it could be interesting also for some ATHENA user
tried on my touch and tried to dial from my athena with *99# and didnt work..
Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you set up a modem in Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks > Add a new modem connection? Just need an APN, user name and password, which vary depending on your ISP (I have AT&T). Modem string and *99# no longer necessary.
If you want to use your Athena as a modem for your laptop, either through a USB or Bluetooth connection, just use Internet Sharing under Programs.
im trying to share between ppc to ppc ...
hy,
I cannot connect athena100 to tomtom go910.
I upgrades WM5 to WM6, I installes BT_DUN, tries several ways, but it doesn't work, I always got a message of DUN-connection problem;
I managed perfectly well on touch, but I have no succes with atnena100;
could you help me?
I'd say use wmwifirouter for this. It will work perfectly for internet sharing with about anything around you over usb BT or wifi
Thank you Astain, but I need a DUN-connection because TomTom does not use ICS.
Do you have a solution for that?
Hi everyone, I have tried share internet for my T-01A but no way success, I used WMWIFIROUTER, PDANet, ICS but alway notice error.

So you want use your T01A as a modem for your PC.
I think an other person had same problem. Solution is lock for some third part software any for wm have to work with it.
For Nokia is (Nokia PC Suit) but for wm I don't know.
Just check on Google.

that was me its not as simple as installing 3rd party software unfortunatly. my problem and it sounds like this is the same problem are that our phones will not allow us to access wifi, usb or bluetooth networks while we are connected to our cellphone network. it's one or the other, not both.
my guess is is that our providers dont want us doing such things so the
did something to prevent us from doing this.
honestly ive given up.
You can try one of this.
