Hi all,
I know we can connect to the internet using desktop connectivity with ActiveSync.
Now, I want to develop some simple WAP application and place it in my http://localhost (desktop IIS) for testing purpose. How can I browse it this site from my xda?
Anyone can help? TIA.
try http://<ip-number of Desktop PC>
It doesn't work at all. Beside, I use dial-up connection in my desktop, so the desktop doesn't have any ip before connecting to the internet, and I want to develop the application offline.
I tried to assign permanent ip address to my desktop in without connecting and it still doesn't work.
internal network
I doubt you have networked computers but here goes...
If you have a network card in your PC for networking. Then you have an IP address with this. normally "192.168.???.???" so you could use that.
Hope this may be of help ..
or http://127.0.0.1
You will need to be connected to the internet on your PC before you try to browse, or you will need to configure internet connection sharing while your xda is cradled for it to work.
Though I can't test this (no webserver running), it's gotta work:
Put your XDA in the cradle, and the go in VXutil and go to info. There, under the adapter called "Serial on USB," you should see some IP config info. The "Default Gateway" should be the IP of your machine (as your XDA sees it).
Just for kicks, mine turns out to be 192.168.55.100
I've tries http://127.0.0.1 but since my desktop computer is not network and I don't have any ethernet card installed, I cannot assign IP address to this machine?
What is Vxutil anyway?
Thanks.

POCKET HOSTS worsk ok
yes use usb asycn to pda -
setup VPN or non-vpn
first setup VPN network in computer
link to that in pda
no password ect
admin or guest with autologon on direct contact will do
I use say 192.168.100.100 etc
Is it possible to sync using activesync over the internet without running an exchange server? I'd like to be able to sync my XDA while I'm out and about to my PC at home.
:shock: :?: :?:
been trying to do the same for ages , but never found out how to do it
It can be done, under a few conditions:
1. You need to have a static IP address for you PC
2. You need to install Pocket Hosts or a similar free utility to map the WINS host name to your PC's IP address.
3. Your carrier / ISP must not have a firewall that blocks ports 5678 or 5679 (T-mobile seems to block this)
Remote active sync was designed with a local area network in mind and it is configured to connect to you computer by using the WINS name and not using an internet based DNS name. When you connect over an internet connection from your XDA, it is not able to find you PC.
If you install a free utility such as Pocket Hosts (http://zimac.de/cestuff.htm) you can configure the Pocket PC to be able to find you PC. This utility will allow you to configure you Pocket PC to map your PC Name to an IP address (similar to the HOST file on a Windows based PC)
Before I had the unlimited GPRS plan, I created a dial up connection to an ISP on my PocketPC Phone and it works perfectly. However, when I try the same thing over the GPRS connection, it does not work. From my end, it looks like T-Mobile blocks ports 5678 or 5679 on their firewall, which are the ports that remote active sync uses to complete the connection. (It looks like it is about to work, but then fails to complete the connection)
I have tried to convince t-mobile to fix this, but they keep claiming that it will not work out of the box, they don't know how to make it work, and they won't support it. They try to "upsell" me the sidekick or other device. I can't seem to get through to the right people. It seems crazy that a setting on their end blocks us from being able to sync over the air. After all, what is the point of a data connection if you are still restricted to using a cradle to sync. I understand that they don't want to support this and walk people through setting this up, but blocking the functionality seems pointless.
Anyone tested this on ATT? With number portability starting, I may have to explore other options. Anyone have an in at T-mobile that can get them to open up these ports on the firewall?
try www.yahoo.com
get an account (if you don't have one already)
login -- click on mail
the click the tab for addresses
on the next line to the right you will see the word "sync"
this will take you to download intellisync for yahoo
then follow instructions
sync you pda and your good to go, you will have your info on the internet and sync from anywhere
one more thing if youown a palm os and a pocket pc pda and you want to have both devices with same info (contacts, mail, notes etc. etc.)
the change the settings on your intellisync for your other device and resync
hope this helps it did for me...
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and my Network is SMART Communications. I tried synching with my active sync via GPRS but it seems it can't find my PC eventhough I used Pocket Hosts utility. It seems they block the port too. Anybody from Smart to please open the gate for us.
I've setup up my Win2k PC as dial-up server. And with the help of the Pocket Hosts utility, I can now be able to sync my Outlook over the air. But the call charges is killing me.

I've been investigating this myself too - and have to say T-Mobile's attitude is also alive and well here in the UK on O2 (via crapphone-whorehouse data support team).
I was actually shouted at by one of their 'tech' guys when I tried to persuade them that it could technically be done, but I needed to find out whether they were blocking the relevant ports. He eventually hung up on me! Fantastic service, eh!
I've been trying to get ActiveSync working over the Internet for the past few days and have finally managed to get it to work reliably. There are a couple of things that I have found...
Firstly, at least one of the ports required for ActiveSync does seem to be blocked when using GPRS (Vodadone UK in my case). Setting up a normal dial-up ISP connection results in first time connections to ActiveSync every time. It would be nice to know why there is problem over GPRS.
Secondly, my device was still connecting as Guest. Whilst reading through various other forums I found a fix that seem to work for this but it involves deleting a registry key. I wouldn't recommend it as I have know idea what else this key might be used for but it certainly solved the problem for me. The key I removed is HKLM/Ident/Username value is guest. The key is replaced automatically at some point (maybe after a reset) so if it stops working, you have to go and delete it again! There must be a better way....
That's great information, thanks.
I now have my device remote synching!
Just to summarise my steps to get things working on my XDA II:
1) XDA: Set up new work connection (don't you just hate the organisation of conenctions...) to a dial-up ISP over GSM, as O2 UK also block the ports required for activesync.
2) PC: Open sockets 990, 999, 5678, 5679 on my firewall
3) XDA: Use pockethosts to set up the IP address for my PC name
4) XDA: Change HKLM\Ident\User from guest to my normal PC logon user id
5) PC: Set allow network connections in activesync
6) XDA: Manually Connect to the ISP connection
7) XDA: Open activesync and click synch - away we go!
As an update to this, I had to do a full restore at the weekend after loosing all my data on the XDAII. The problem was not related to these changes but it made me look again at the Ident key. There are two keys normally like...
HKLM/Ident/Name Value<Your chosen PDA Name>
HKLM/Ident/OrigName Value<Pocket_PC>
This time I changed only HKLM/Ident/OrigName to the same value as in HKLM/Ident/Name and it connected first time. Also, this value does not seem to be reset unless you do a hard reset on the device. This may be better than changing the Username value though I have yet to try either on another computer where my preferred connection should actually be as a Guest.
Got it working
Thanks to andyclap's suggestions I finally got it working. It looks like T-mobile does not block any ports, but without the registry hack the error I got was the same as when I tested this over a dial up connection and blocked the ports on my firewall.
The other change since my last post is that I am using WM2003 and it requires you to set up a VPN connection to the PC instead of just using PocketHosts for the name resolution.
My work has a GPRS connection through O2 and we had to setup some manual settings (which was a nightmare!!) to make this work. However, we can still surf the net if we connect to O2 GPRS.
So in summary, we have 2 GPRS connections. 1 for O2 which is used for surfing the net, and 1 for the company I work for (let's call them XDA plc for legal reasons....).
You might ask that why don't we just have 1 connection because we receive emails and check network stuff through the XDA plc connection but we can't surf the net using this one, so this is why we have the O2 connection as well. Everyone following this.
So to jump between the connections involves a long way for a shortcut by using the Settings-Connections-Connections icon and changing the settings. I noticed under Program-GPRS Connections there are various shortcuts. So after all this drivel.... here is the question.
Does anyone know how to make a new shortcut which I could apply our personal settings to?
Much Appreciated
Keith
No for a lie down.... phew :?
So, if I got your correctly, you have a secured GPRS connection to the XDA plc that doesn't allow access to the internet for security reason, and another normal GPRS connection to surf the internet ... right ?
Ok, this is a typical setup for highly secured LANs to reduce the possibility of virus attacks.
My advice is to check with your network administrator the possibility to add a firewall on a proxy server in your LAN to allow you to surf the internet (I 'm sure it came to their mind but they know better than me of course )
Or, you can setup the normal connectivity on your XDA to access the internet through O2, and set the xda plc GPRS connection to the "Work" connection and adjust your network application on the XDA to use this connection instead of the normal one.

Why couldn't I have put it like that............... Yes

I'm afraid it is the 'Or' as our IT guys cringe at the thought we even have an XDA....
There are 3 selections that you can make in the Connections (under settings) window.
1. When needed, automatically connect to The Internet using these settings:
2. When needed, automatically connect to Work using these settings:
3. My network card connect to:
1 is Work Settings
2 is Work Settings
3 is Work
The Work Settings have the secure GPRS settings (XDA plc).
I would have thought that I could have selected:
1. Internet Settings
2. Work Settings
3. Work
But when I use Active sync it will try to connect to O2 instead of XDA plc. It's the same when using IE. It will connect to XDA plc if 1,2 & 3 are set to Work. I've tried various other combinations to no avail.
My thinking was that if I could create a shortcut, like in Programs-GPRS Connections, then I could jump between the 2 without going through a long process.
Cheers

oh, i think i got ur point. up to my info, internet settings will be used whenever the device is connected 'wirelessly' .. if ur exchange server is in the xda plc LAN, then activesync will use the internet settings ... and Work settings is used whenever the xda is in the cradle ... IE will use it only if the 'pass through' option is checked and there is a proxy to the internet.
you should create another 'connection' under internet settings but using the access point of xda plc ... u will still have to select the proper 'modem' under internet settings manually
leave the work settings empty and it will be auto configured if u sync with ur exchange server from the cradle

Does that not defeat the point though? If the work settings are already setup, I'm as well selecting between that and Internet settings instead of jumping further into the settings?
I thought there might be someway to create a shortcut in Programs-GPRS Connections therefore I could get these shortcuts to the today screen and then select whichever one I need.
If you use WM2003 you can click the connection strength symbol in the header to connect and disconnect to the different services. They should both be listed in the bubble that pops up.

I think what your problem is that you are using a server name on your corporate LAN that has full-stops in it. These are interpreted by the XDA as an internet address, and therefore the Internet connection is used.
What you need to do to get around this is to put in some exceptions.
Go into Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
Then click on the exeptions button, and click on Add URL
Then put in the name of your server (or the domains that your company uses). Good examples are:-
*.xda.com
mailserver.xda.com
That should sort it for you, so you can then set the Internet to connect to the Internet, and Work to connect to Work.

But I can't use the XDA plc to access the Internet and I can't use O2 Mobile Web to access XDA plc for email, etc.
Interesting point though but I can't think where this si useful unless I've missed your point.
The only solution I can see is to create these shortcuts which no-one, so far, seems to know how to do.
Thanks for all your help so far,

Sorry - I think you have missed my point.
You have two connections - the Internet and Work.
Work is normally used for any Corporate LAN type stuff, and the Internet for everything else.
The XDA decides that you need to connect to and use Internet if the address contains full-stops (i.e. URLs like http://www.abc.com). If it doesn't, then the Work setting is used.
I think the problem is that your work server is setup as something like email.abc.com, so the XDA decides that this is an internet address and uses the Internet connection settings.
What I do is setup O2 Mobile Web as my Internet connection, and my corporate LAN as the Work connection. Then, I add into the exceptions list the name of my corporate LAN email server (email.abc.com, or even *.abc.com). This tells the XDA that when using the address email.abc.com to use the Work settings instead of the Internet settings and hey-presto it sorts itself out!
The only challenge then comes when, like me, you have a 3rd connection (WAP/MMS), at which point you do have to manually choose between which Internet connection setting to use, but for just the 2 it works fine.
Hope this helps!

I would have hoped that the advanced menu would either be somewhere else on PPC2002 or at least be called something else. It appears that there is no easy answer to this.
This is really the crux of the problem where I have to keep going to Settings/Connection/Connections and changing everything back and forth.
What I have noticed about using the GPRS connection shortcuts, progrma/gprs connections, is that they change all the settings over automatically which means I have to change them back. So if it can do this then we must be able to create a shortcut which will change them back. Where this info is kept, I don't know.
it's pretty much the same situation you are facing if you are using a laptop with a modem and lan and have to change between them
maybe you can look for some 3th party software

What you're looking for is there in WM2003.
If an upgrade to 2003 is not an option you might want to give SPBs GPRS Monitor a try. I think it will let you connect/disconnect to different networks from the popup that is shown when you klick the connection icon in the task bar.
Download a trial at:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en
I've downloaded this software and I'll give it a try. Looks like good quality software too. Anyone tried the Today plug-in? versus other today plugins?
How do you upgrade to WM2003? Is it like a PC OS where you purchase the OS and install it? Sorry for newbie question....
After much serching and trialling I eventually forund RasMan software which provides the dial in switching that I need.
Now I can leave all the settings for my companies GPRS (so I can Activesync) and by using RasMan, I can dial up the O2 Mobile Web and surf to my hearts content.
Knew I would get there in the end.......

I have figured out how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes my Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (for the Hermes). It should currently be "BTPAN1".
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc")
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
And it works!
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
UPDATE (28-Oct-2007): Attached are some more beta releases of patched intshare.dll. I've created versions for most of the adapter names people have requested. By renaming this dll to intshare.dll and copying it to \Windows, Internet Sharing will use TIACXWLN1 (or whichever dll you use) when Bluetooth PAN is selected. I.e., if you use this, you will not need to make the registry changes above.
This will handle the registry part, but of course you'll still need to set up the ad-hoc network on your own.
UPDATE (03-Nov-2007): I've attached a beta version of the patched Internet Sharing app. It's in its own cab so it won't overwrite your existing IS. This app replaces Bluetooth PAN with 802.11b/g Wireless Ethernet. No registry hacking required. This app is well suited to replace the MS version on cooked ROMs.
If you use an adapter other than TIACXWLN1 then replace intshare.dll just as before.
UPDATE (08-Nov-2007): Attached is v 0.9.1 of the Internet Sharing Mod. This update addresses the 10 minute disconnect bug most people have experienced.

This is the first thing I'll try when i'm at home again!
I can't believe this! Waiting for this since i got my Hermes. Thx for this development. This is the greatest effort since Hard-SPL and WM6 upgrade.
Now I can connect my XBOX360 to the Internet without starting my PC and sharing it over PC-LAN. USB-Charger is at the Front of the XBOX360.
I hope it will work.
You said the Max-Connections can be reworked. Does this mean it will support Ad-Hoc AND WLAN-Routing to many recepients too?
This worked for me too on a Kaiser/TYTN II
I'm doing some additional experimentation to see what exactly this can do - for instance to replace a bluetooth connection to a laptop with a wifi one?

not sure what you mean by replacing the connection. With ICS, obviously you cant share your connection over BT while sharing it over WIFI. and you can normally use wifi to connect to another computer by using an ad-hoc connection and manually entering a private ip on the same subnet for each computer.
this is awesome. worked perfectly for me.
After trying to stuff around with a proxy server for days and then you come along with something as simple as this....

Were you able to use more than one client connected?
I'll admit..when I saw this my first thought was that this was another "How can I do internet sharing via wifi" and the title was just misleading..instead I find myself very impressed with your accomplishment. Very well done! As a "hack" untill you figure out how to mod the dll which I'm sure is only a matter of time now that you have pointed everyone in the right direction, you can export the registry key for both the Bluetooth adapter and the Wifi one and "import" whichever one you want to use at a given time...it's not pretty but it should work.
Some issues of concern would be that the AP is wide open and can be connected to by anyone with no password etc...the bluetooth pairing allowed some security but using the wifi doesn't have the same shared key protection...or am I missing something obvious?

When I used it I was only able to get one client to connect, however there is a reg value, HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms\MaxConnections that may help if it is changed from 1 to 2 (or whatever). But I haven't tried.
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. So that's a good thing, although I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
I was going to release a patched intshare.dll so that the normal Internet Sharing utility can do this, but I'm having trouble changing the section addresses in the dll to the right values after I add data. If anyone knows how to do this PM me and I'll give you the details.

thank you.
this work actually stemmed from my trying to share my phone's tethered connection with another client. by which i mean, my laptop is in a cafe online through my 8525 using Internet Sharing(IS) over usb. and i want to provide a connection, through wifi or ethernet, to my gfriends laptop. this actually isnt normally possible b/c WM IS and XP Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) both have 192.168.0.1 hard-coded as the gateway IP. so the phone uses that IP to give my laptop a connection, and my laptop tries to use the same IP with ICS. anyway, it fails because of this. i was able to get past that problem by going into Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters -> Remote-NDIS and manually setting 192.168.1.1. This lead to the breakthrough with regards to wifi. prior to that id been trying all different ways to have the wifi adapter spoof the bt pan, however i could never get dhcp to assign an IP to the client. this is what it took.
and it's great that DHCP does in fact work here. it makes it dead easy for any arbitrary client to get online. just join the adhoc network as if it were an AP.
anyway, security-wise the ad-hoc network can use WEP or WPA, so security doesn't have to be a problem. the procedures for doing this are the same as normal.
and i haven't tried that reg key to enable multiple clients. but it looked like an obvious choice. i'll leave that as an exercise for the reader

I ran into same issue with XP internet sharing. Another workaround is to have a linux machine do NAT( since you can specify the IP used there) to whatever other clients you want and have it connected via bluetooth dun or bluetooth PAND (which is the solution I use to give internet to my replaytv and a couple of laptops in the house)...my edge connection is my main internet feed..a cacheing proxy such as wwoffle, squid of my personal preference "polipo" helps alot to when using gprs/edge etc since it helps with the latency.

Impact on BT?
What a brill find. Well done.
Does it break anything with bluetooth?
Tx
can someone elaborate what this is for, maybe give a sample scenario on using this?
Is this basically allowing a computer to use the internet connection of the pda phone (ie EVDO, 1RxTT, etc.) through wifi, instead of bluetooth or USB cable? (ie tethering?)
if someone manages to get this working with xbox 360 make a tutorial plx ;D

thats what i wanna know , could i use my hsdpa connection via wifi to my psp?
I'll do a tutorial when i'm at home again. Maybe somebody with know-how can make a cab-file v1.0 for this "WLAN-Modem hack".
This surely will be a great app.
yes, your xbox and your psp should be able to connect just fine, as long as they support ad-hoc wireless (which i imagine they must). this hack will allow the phone to act like any normal wifi access point. the only difference is the client has to be seraching for ad-hoc networks in addition to normal APs.
the difficulty with creating a cab file at this point is that the registry setting is not persistent. that is, it must be set each time you enable IS. the setting is lost every time IS starts. this is why i am trying to patch the dll - so wifi will work as a normal, additional option in Internet Sharing (and hopefully this should be ready soon).

1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
Got it - except on my device it's Programs -> accessories -> IS
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
Check - but is the T1ACXWLN1 device specific? If so, how can I find the interface ID on my device?
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
For me it's settings -> connections -> network cards, but I don't have an IEEE 802.11 listed. I connected to an existing AP, and found that my 'SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter' does receive a DHCP address, so I tried changing it to 192.168.1.1...
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
Found this and set up my WING-FI network.
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
The client PC connects to WING-FI, but never receives an IP address...
What could I be doing wrong? Is it the hardware ID in the registry? I've created the network with WPA, then after the connection problems, with no security - but still no change.
Thanks!!

Very likely the string TIACXWLN1 needs to be something different. Check HKLM\Software\WZCSV\Parameters\Interfaces\
There should be a key there with the name of your wireless adapter. It should end in "1".
And if not there, it should also be visible under HKLM\Comm\
Let us know how it works out.
EDIT: I just noticed you typed T1ACXWLN1. The string must be TIACXWLN1. That's "i" not one.

I own a PPC6700 as well and I was able to get it working no problem other than the fact that our wireless adapter is not the same as the one mentioned. The reg edit is the same it's just the first network adapter in the list when you create the network settings.

yes, your xbox and your psp should be able to connect just fine, as long as they support ad-hoc wireless (which i imagine they must). this hack will allow the phone to act like any normal wifi access point. the only difference is the client has to be seraching for ad-hoc networks in addition to normal APs.
the difficulty with creating a cab file at this point is that the registry setting is not persistent. that is, it must be set each time you enable IS. the setting is lost every time IS starts. this is why i am trying to patch the dll - so wifi will work as a normal, additional option in Internet Sharing (and hopefully this should be ready soon).

If you send me the dll I could look into it.
i have some experience with editing dlls.
good work man
I am not sure what to call this so it is difficult to search for it... what I am wondering is... can I connect my SG2 to PC via usb and use the wired internet connection that way? (For example, at someone's house who doesn't have wireless - so I am not using cell data all the time)
It's generally called reverse tethering. I found a page here on XDA that may help you do what you're wanting to do - [Tool][Windows Only][Root] Android Reverse Tethering
Here's a good example of how to set it up for XP, MAC and Vista. I assume this should apply to Windows 7 as well.

Thanks, guys. I guess I was hoping there was just some setting on the PC and another on the phone and then connect and go. I don't want to install things on on a computer I am just "visiting" for a day or two. I appreciate the quick answers though.
If the PC has a wireless card, you can use that to host an access point for your phone to connect to via wifi.
