Done a search and can't find the answer to this anywhere.
Recently moved house and just had my internet installed. My laptop doesnt have wireless and my GF has pinched the only wireless key we have. I don't have any CAT 5 or RJ45 to make a cable and was wondering if I can use my HD2 (plugged in via USB) to connect my PC to my wireless router? You may say 'why dont you just use internet sharing and connect via 3G?'... The simple answer to that is that we live in a signal blackspot and as such cannot get a mobile signal in my home.
How about:
1) turn HD2's wifi on and connect to router.
2) plug phone into computer and wait for active sync
3) use internet
Just make sure "allow data connections on device when connected to a PC" is enabled.
For XP - Right click the active sync icon in the notification bar and select connection settings. Or go to file > connection settings.
Vista/Win7 - In mobile device center, click mobile device settings > connection settings.

Hello,
i have a question regarding the modem functionality of the StrTrk under WM 6.1 Pro V2.
How can I share the Internet Connection of the phone to a Notebook?
(I already found the "Internet Sharing" shortcut but the question is what to do after...)
In order to find it out, i activated the Sharing through Bluetooth PAN. (On the telephone).
Now ist the the question what I have to do on my Notebook.
My Notebook displays me a Dial Up Connection and a Network Access Point Connection.
What I have to chose and what I have to enter on the Notebook then?
Is there anything to do with the telephone (except the sharing shortcut)?
Many Thanks for helpful answers!
No one for answer?
First off you will need to install active sync onto your laptop, then you will need a sync cable that will attach your phone to the USB port on your laptop. (bluetooth would be very hard to get working for this)
On your phone, start Internet sharing, and then select connect, after it says "Check USB cable connection", plug your phone into the sync cable that is plugged into your laptop.
The active sync will not try to sync but a new internet connection will be found by Windows XP.
Hope this helps
I have the same problem after I upgraded the ROM from HTC website. The upgraded ROM was still wm5. Now I upgrade the ROM from wm5 to wm6. The problem is still there. I checked the modem configuration in XP from control panel, but I can't find the modem device.
I also followed the advice here, but the screen of my phone just indicated "Check USB cable connection". I didn't get the instruction to connect the USB cable.
The upgrading was really nice for my phone except I can't use my phone as a modem. I do want to repair this problem.
Any idea?
Hello,
do you already installed active sync?
Another Problem:
I cant connect the phone through usb cable because the laptop is from the company where I work for. Iam not allowed to install any driver (On my own PC the Generic RNDIS is need to be installed). Is ist possible to have the modem functionality through Bluetooth without using Active Sync?
You don't need ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center to use the Internet Sharing on WM6.
For connecting via USB, make sure you ActiveSync is disconnected and the USB cable is unplugged before you click Connect in Internet Sharing. When you receive the prompt for 'Check USB Cable Connection' plug the USB lead in again. Windows should now detect new hardware in form of a 'Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device' instead of the usual 'Smartphone USB Sync' and a new Local Area Connection should appear in Network Connections.
The Bluetooth PAN option depends on the Bluetooth Stack installed on Windows. If you have the default Microsoft Bluetooth Stack installed (Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista) you can go to Network Connections (on Vista open Network and Sharing Center and click Manage Network Connections below Tasks) and double click on the Bluetooth Network Connection icon. In the dialog that opens the phone's Bluetooth PAN Connection should be listed for you to Connect to.
That's it. You should be browsing the Internet via GPRS / EDGE.
I did install Activesync. Even I can see the remote rndis Internet device after I plug the usb cord to my laptop, the modem doesn't work. I also can't find the modem in the control panel for it.
Thanks, I connected my Cingular 3125 to my computer. The connection is a local connection as a Ethernet card instead of a dial connection. So I don't have to set up a modem driver for it.
Just in case I wasn't clear, you don't need ActiveSync for this to work, the functionality is done entirely separately.
There is no modem device any more, it's all done using a "Virtual" Local Area Network which you'll find listed in Network Connections.
You shouldn't need to configure anything, just plug in the USB cable and wait a few seconds. The phone should initiate a GPRS / EDGE connection automatically and you should then have access to The Internet.
If it doesn't, you may need to temporarily disable any other Local Area Connections (especially any that are used for Internet access) so that your PC is forced to use the one provided by the phone's virtual network connection.
Thanks, your explanation is very clear. The process is exactly like what you said.
StarTrek can be connected with Ubuntu as a Ethernet card now.

Hi,
I don't have wifi at home, but I wanna do some surfing on my laptop, without being connected to Internet with wires.
So I got an idea: why don't I use the wifi router program on my HD2? I can connect it to my desktop computer (it's connected to the internet with a wire), and then turn it into a wifi router. But apparently it only works with GPRS to Wifi, not Active Sync to wifi.
Is it possible to do?

So you are trying to do this:
PC -> HTCHD2 (Wifi Router)-> Laptop
Sorry I'm not sure if you can do that.
If you have 3G, it should be sufficient and you can charge the phone while using it as a router. Hopefully someone else can spread more light on this subject.

Sharing 3G/4G Internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP connected with Android mobile phone via WiFi HOTSPOT or USB LAN or 3G/4G USB modem datacard , and then use the wireless Wifi router as a WiFi access point for the other devices.
1) Setting up the router
Router WAN will not be connected to any modem, *** NOTHING ON ROUTER WAN PORT (NO INTERNET VIA PPPoE DSL , STATIC OR DYNAMIC IPs) but it will made to act as Access Point for "sharing" the shared internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP.
First, one needs to access the wireless Wifi router's configuration settings, usually one need to connect the Wifi router, and then access its setup page either over WiFi network, or by plugging it to desktop or laptop in 1 of its 4 LAN ports. setup page is accessible by entering the router's IP address 192.168.1.1 on IE address bar or some other browser like Firefox etc. however consider your router's manual to see how to get to the settings. Ideally, resetting the wireless Wifi router and then following its setup guide would best way start off.
Once on Wireless Wifi router's settings do the following:
a) Enable the Wifi connection. It should be enabled by default, but some routers require you to manually enable it.
b) Secure your network. Under security options, there should be a way for you to specify a password for your new wireless network. Here you will have multiple options, probably WEP, WPA and WPA2. Set up either WEP or WPA/WPA2 security. WPA2 would be best if your router supports it. Consider having a look at the router's manual for that.
c) Disable DHCP. Look for a setting that says something about automatic addressing (or "DHCP"). Which is enabled by default, disable it – ****this is most important!
d) Connect the router to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP. The LAN port of Desktop should be connected to 1 out of router's 4 LAN ports via RJ45 cable. Wireless Wifi router will have one WAN internet Modem port at the back designated only for modems, as mentioned above do not use connect anything to this port so-called WAN port.
Once above steps are done Wireless Wifi router is all set.
2) Enable connection sharing
• Now if you have 3G/4G dongle data card then insert it into USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate your “3G modem” connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected via Android mobile HOTSPOT to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections", locate Wifi adapter e.g. "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" connection connected to Android mobile HOTSPOT
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to shared it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or if you two wifi wireless adapter card then share it over 2nd Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
Once done you are all set to rock the network by connecting other Desktops/PCs/NOTEBOOKs/LAPTOPs/Android/windows/Apple/blackberry’s phones and other devices to Wifi wireless router Access point that you had set up. Your devices should acquire an IP address and be able to connect to the internet with any issues. Windows will lease out more than just one address when using windows ICS!
Spacedesk is a desktop app that allow to make your device into another monitor & control mouse
Need a wifi point near my desktop pc (for lower latency), so i wanted to use my phone in usb tethering since wifi hotspot don't work / stop working after some times on pc with power management setting off (when i try to connect, it just do nothing and still say "Secured" but not "Connected")
So i want my phone to redirect everything from the wifi hotspot, to the usb tethering and the same thing in the opposite way, i know i can use proxy server, but i don't know how to configure it to make it work with spacedesk.
Any idea?
spacedesk port is 28252
