Hello all, I have the xv6800, dcd rom 3.3.4 and activesync and internet sharing setup on Windows just fine. However, I have recently gotten a MAC, and I have not been able to get the internet sharing to work via BT or USB. I can understand BT cause I was never able to get it set up on windows either. I don't mind the USB connection, it's alwasy been more stable and a snap to set up with the ROM. However I can't get it working on the MAC. Is there a driver or app that needs to be installed on the mac side? The only think I remember doing on the WIN side is installing the modem driver.
On Mac, I have installed Missing Sync installed and I have been able to attach and sync my winmo phone without issue, so I know I have connection. but I cannot get the internet sharing to work. I checked out the verizon site and they state that they do not make a modem driver for the mac os.
I should also mention that I have winXP set up on the mac thru VMware, but I have been unsuccessful getting this to work the way my original windows laptop is setup. I dont want to set it up that way anyway if I can avoid it.
I am curious if anyone has this working via USB?? I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. I couldn't find anything related and certainly not specific to this ROM.
I did find this, http://www.keithtastic.com/post/3997...-to-sprint-htc, but it states to buy an app called USB Modem program from www.mobile-stream.com. but wouldnt the ISC app on the dcd rom provid the same functionality?
Thanks for any/all help

then just use internet sharing form the phone as normal?
no offense but that didnt help at all. I can connect my phone via BT themac sees it, but all I can do is browse device. I need to set up a connection with my phone to the mac and get online via my phone. I dont careif its bluetooth or not. I have the new macbook btw, if it matters
goon55: Like you, I always used a VM workaround to tether back when I had a Mac. I haven't tried this, but I've heard Syncmate allows Internet Sharing on Mac systems. Good luck!
I have no issues connecting my macbook for my 6800.
After you set it up like the other poster told you to, you should have a phone icon next to the bluetooth icon at the top right of the screen. click the phone icon then "connect bluetooth".

also when setting up the BT relationship, make sure you select the network services (i believe, there are one or two services you can check)...on the phone make sure you start BT and internet sharing (with BT selected) and when you go to the BT menu on the mac, your phone name should be under "devices", expand your phone name and select connect to network.
just trying to clarify a bit.
i had it
i had bt working for a bit and then was disconnected abruptly.
after deleting the profiles of the pairings on both the titan and the mac, it still wont share the connection although the phone will be connected in bt system prefrence pane, (where you select devices).
when it worked, i would select the phone in the device select, and underneath clicking on the gear to a menu option to 'connect to network'
it worked that wayfor 3 mins.
also, when i configure the device, if i set the phone to internet share while the mac is discovering the services, i get two options to select instead of just one:
access the internet
use device as network port.
edit: got it, apple talk active
best software you can use is http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ it works over BT or wifi and uses your phone's regular data access address which means you don't get tethering charges. NOTE I use the free version, and I have tried the tiral and although it does work, my mogul does not seem to like it and has little quirks after I install it (wifi turns on when I reset even if the switch is off, I don't why but its there).
Hi everyone, I've been trying to use my Windows Mobile phone as a modem for the Macbook, but so far I only see people being able to connect via BT. Problem with that for me is that BT drains both my laptop and phone battery quicker, so I'm trying to find a solution to connect via USB instead. Has anyone been able to surf on their Mac using their Windows Mobile phone as a modem via USB cable?
What you want is Mobile Stream USB Modem for Windows. Windows here being Windows Mobile, it works with my Mac.
Once you set it up, your phone is seen as a USB Modem and you dial from the Mac to this port. There is a free trial, take time to test it, read the forums, I had some initial issues to get it work right, but now it is good, I ended up purchasing it.
Tried BT sharing too, but too instable and drops. Tried the WiFi sharing, but eats battery...
Only downside: as you dial the data modem, it will fail if it is already in use (background email checking on your phone...). I have to disconnect the data connection on the phone to be able to dial from the Mac, otherwise it reports Port Busy.
Thanks for the recommendation, will try it out. Any other solutions in the meantime to connect and share the Internet connection from my Windows Mobile phone to Mac via USB?
I had the same problem, and tried everything recommended in the thread - no dice. I ended up just installing WMWifiRouter and that works like a champ.

This is for cingular, but I'm sure this can be attempted no matter what the provider.
I've been looking for a solution as well, and have yet to find one for USB Internet Sharing on a Mac. I currently just use Bluetooth with an external charger on the phone and laptop since it'll eat the battery of both quickly.
ssh from your computer over wifi is easy, but doing it over LTE seems to be problematic if not impossible (with the phone acting as the server). It doesn't look like we're given a public ipv4 address and they're just doing an NAT magic to translate it into an ipv4 addy on their end, but it doesnt necessarily link back to you always (if you check your ip over a browser).
With my home connection being SOL as far as having ipv6 thanks to craptactular att "we dont need no ipv6 for our customers," I don't see any possible method to reach the phone.
Blackberries had a static ipv4 (when I had one) but I know that's a dying thing for new phones with ipv4's days numbered.
I know there's other solutions (like vpn), but obviously that's not the same.
i have not had any luck either and that makes sense now cuz i remember having issues with trying to run a server on my phone . damn this is annoying.
I cant get ANY data to work with the exception of once and that was only searching google.com but no other website would work... any ideas anyone?

Nope, not really. Probably could set up a vpn server on my VPS server and and vpn into that to get around the NAT though and do some work in iptables for routing. That was the only thing I could come up with.
Hi,
I know that it was stated that "ssh from your computer over wifi is easy," but this process is not immediately obviously to me. I have succeeded in sshing with the phone, but not into it. Can someone explain how to ssh into the phone (from a computer with wifi that the phone is also connected into)?
Thank you,
Michael

You need an ssh server on your phone. You can either use something like dropbear, which comes by default on most AOSP ROMs and you can figure out how to set it up by reading this or you can use something like sshdroid, which is a GUI app.
I'd be willing to bet that verizion simply blocking ports and not giving you a real ip

Unless you're roaming, you're always behind NAT and an IP within verizon's network. No one is going to give you a real and static ipv4 address nowadays regardless of the mobile network, there just arent enough left. IPv6 however I do not know if it routes out or not, haven't tested yet and the only place that I have an ipv6 address is my remote server so it doesn't do that much good usability wise to me.
Thank you for the really helpful comment! Now for another silly question: imagine the case where you have your phone connected by USB to your computer. Is it still possible to "ssh" into it using one of the methods described above?

if you have the usb cable connected, you could just use adb and type "adb shell"
Otherwise, I don't think so because you aren't registering a network address via usb.
So once you are into your phone with adb, is it possible to run a program like ConnectBot to ssh out from the phone through your computer's adb shell?

Yes, if you mean ssh into your computer's sshd (ssh server).
ssh client (phone) → ssh server (computer)
or you can go the other way as well if you have an ssh server on your phone.
I am running Nilsp business ics 3.x, s-on as of now, I have been using the Wifi tether app that Nilsp added to the rom with the profile set to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and the routing fix checked, and it works for the most part. What happens is my laptop will be connected to the wifi from the phone but it can't access the internet because it says "limited access" with a little exclamation sign next to it. It is not that the phone is not connected to the internet though because my buddy's iPad will be connected to the internet at the same time and it will be working fine for him. Could be a problem with the phone, could be a problem with my computer, I don't know. My computer will connect to other wifi signals just fine. Very confused on this matter. Anyone got any answers?

probably the laptop:
make sure you don't have any static-ip settings on your wifi adapter. Let the phone get an IP dynamically. Also don't set any specific dns entries either. I had difficulty from both angles if I didn't just let the wifi-tether app dictate the network settings to the laptop.
Also, do you have any custom firewalls on your laptop? The phone defaults to the 192.168.2.0/ network, so it's not the same as your home router, which is probably 192.168.1.0/
My laptop does that as well but the limited access for about a minute or so but then works fine. Im not sure what causes it
Boot to safe mode with networking (f8 on boot up) and see if it connects.
If it works in safemode with networking then you have a firewall issue.
I can assist further if it is the case
Ok so yeah I am haiving the same problem as hardfallen87. I'm sorry but I don't think I completely understand everything you guys have said to try and help. I sort of understand the IP address stuff but I can't find any settings like that anywhere on the computer. And no I do not have any custom firewall installed.
Still haven't really fixed this problem. I'm still constantly getting limited access on my PC from my phone's WiFi tethering app. I am now running Nils Business ICS Sense 4 version 2.6 and am S-off but it seems no matter what ROM I use it doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated...

Seems to work in safe mode ok.
hey people,
here is the issue. i am able to connect to my wifi at home no issue. when i try to connect at work it says connected but i have no access to the internet. the bars are grey with the up and down arrow going crazy but the bars never turn blur. sound like its not authenticating. i noticed when i connect its always trying to connect to the same DHCP IP. i asked the network guys to release the address manually but it does not seem to have helped. any ideas. i do not know much about DHCP so i could be blowing sunshine up your a$$. ; )
i own the i757m so there is only 1 radio to choose from.
talk to your network administrator and ask them to verify if the router is actually seeing your phone.
it maybe trying to connevt but the router is not acknowledging the phone is sending a valid request.

I've had this in situations where free wifi is given out. My phone connects to the router but not the Web until I've registered with the service provider. It's not your phone it must be an error in your log on details, password etc

Maybe their DHCP server is acting up. Try setting your IP address manually (assuming you know the rest of the networking configuration as well).

i also tried that. should have mentioned these things, sorry. its really irritating me. i see its connected and it says its connected. it seems like it connects to the router but the DHCP server will not authenticate if thats makes any sense.
My phone is HTC 620G but I think its not important because I've factory reset it and it didnt help. The problem is I'm connected to wifi but I can't access to internet. Sometimes I can but its way too slow, way way slow so as I said I formatted the phone but it didnt help. Waiting for your help
edit: I dont have any problems at other devices like laptop or phones but my phone...
edit2:When I connected to wifi near any device, the other devices internet connection got lost, its been so annoying i wanna get rid of this issue immediately
2.4 or 5ghz? What encryption ie wpa wep open? Can other devices connect to the wifi? Is the channel congested?
Edit I see you edited!

Yeah there isnt any problem with other devices, btw i forgot the wifi on my phone, rebooted both phone and modem and it was perfect for a moment,then it goes back and its bad now, its 2.4,wpa/wpa2 i guess and i already tried digferent channels
Have you tried going to maccas or wherever is a free wifi near you and seeing if the phone can connect to something other than your router?

I realised something now, i entered my gmail account on laptop and it sent my phone a notification, when i opened it I saw that one of my last connected location is Ireland. I didnt download any vpn apps so why is this saying that?
You might want to check the router settings. Some routers have a default limit on how many devices can be connected at once. It sounds like either that or IP address conflicts.

It could be about ip address because there isn't so much device, so what should I do? And I think it could be about dns settings, I tried something for that but couldn't solve it
