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 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
Hey guys, i've searched around here and PPCGeeks but can't seem to find an answer.
Obviously I have a Touch Pro and I want to tether it to/with my Vista Laptop. I'm currently using WMWifi Router and it works fine but it drains the battery and the phone gets REALLY hot, rendering it unchargeable until it cools down.
I know I'm not the only one that is trying to tether with Vista so how are you guys able to do it? I can tether with XP no problem.
I've installed all the hacks, registry edits, fixes, and nothing.
Any help?

I was tethering this weekend using hte usb cable. It was working fine on dcd rom 0.92. However, I tried wmwifirouter 0.89 and it didn't work at all. I'm not sure why, but I had to reset the registry with the crash cleanup in order for the regular tethering to work.
My phone has been getting warm with heavy internet use, but I am in a low signal area. It is the phone using a lot of power to get to the network.
I tether all the time. I use Internet Sharing. Open Internet Sharing on your phone, then connect the phone to the computer/laptop using your usb cord. Then hit connect on your Internet Sharing and voila - internet on your computer/laptop.

Me too. I took a trip this weekend and just used Internet Sharing. Worked every time like a charm. I'm using it with NFSFAN's latest ROM and Vista Ultimate.
I am tethering with Vista and my TP all the time, in fact i am writing this using that connection with my vista lappy and TP(wm6.5+Shell3(no touchflow)) with wmwifirouter(1.35) via 3g(sprint) and wifi. Thats the worst possible configuration for heating up the TP and thus stopping the charge. Here is how i beat it, try this steps one by one until it stops overheating and lets you use net and charge at the same time:
1) turn off screen on TP(saves batt life as well as heat)
2) + slide the keyboard open(better heat dessisipation(sp?)
3) + take out stylus
4) + set it up so TP is standing up(lean it on something)
5) + point a regular fan at TP(thats where i am at atm but the temperature inside my room is close to 90F)
I've been online today for a total of about 40 mins(heavy downloads and 6 tabs open) and still charging(step 5)
Thanks for the pointers Pesok.
I know how to tether.. i've done it for a while with my old XP laptop. The whole "connect usb, internet sharing, etc" is second nature to me.
I should say I'm using the stock rom.
I've been using PDANet and/or WMWifi depending on how much battery life I have.
As far as the conventional method, internet sharing, connect, etc.. it's just not working. I must be missing something

You do need to install the Windows Mobile Device Center Update. You can get it here: Mobile Device Center 6.1 This is for 32bit, if you need the 64bit version go here
Even though you may not sync the device, it install's the driver that is used when it acts as a modem in internet sharing mode. I used it with Vista and Windows 7. Windows 7 is good enough to automatically download and install the driver saving you the time.
If you have done this and it still doesn't work I have some more troubleshooting you can try.

I dl'd this and still can't get my TP to connect using Internet Sharing. It sync's just fine, but when I try to connect, it makes a noise on the laptop that like when the cable disconnects, then makes another alert like it failed to connect.

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.

Hey guys long time no see. im usually in the Android Kiaser section, but I got a different question for today. A good friend of mines recently got a old computer. It had a lot of viruses on it and I cleaned them out. Once I was done with that, I had her o/s up and it was running a lot faster than before.
Anyway, she wanted to use her Optimus T as a modem because she doesnt have internet connection or DSL in her house. She is a genius and all, so she picks up stuff very fast . especially in IT and computers .
Well she followed the tethering instructions for XP and downloaded it to her phone. She then hooked it up to her computer and when we searched for the file, it was there but it could not be launched.
Now I advised eher to come here and ask you guys for help, but she is very prideful and wants to figure it out on her own. Now if this were a simple hardwre issue no problem . but since this is a networking issue , and well you guys are far more experienced in these matters, I was wondering if theren were a special program she needed or something like that for her computer to properly launch the program needed for her phone to go online
Well I used to be in the same boat With the internet. Although It wasn't a smartphone. The solution i came up with after days of trying was the phone in question needed an initialization command pointing to the apn of the phone. This was accomplished with no special software just windows built in capability, on a standard sp 2 machine. I would try my optimus but i have win 7 x64. Anyway not sure whether it helps or not but the proper initialization command would be something like AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”epc.tmobile.com” the number to dial should be " *99# "
The post below me is also good. It is usb network instead of modem.

You basically have two options to go about doing this. Switch on Data on your phone ..
1. Connect the phone via the USB cable and select the LG PC suite application, under Tools there is a option of Internet connection using Phone.
OR
2. Connect the phone via the USB cable, do not run the LG suite, instead on the phone in Settings -> Wifi & networks Use the portability and tethering option. The first option is USB tethering, the second is Wifi. Just select the USB one. THis will create a local network between the phone and computer and allow you to access the internet ...
Cheers !

..Well third option is to use P500 as a bluetooth modem to access Internet.
You have to pair the devices and use bluetooth dialup profile. This post is sent that way from my Compaq nx8220 laptop
use pdanet

Hi Everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with JB 4.1.1. I would like to share my laptop's internet connec with my phone over Wifi. I don't have a router and I don't want to root my phone as its within the warranty period. My laptop runs on Win Vista Home Premium.
I understand that for Win 7 we can use connectify, mhotspot etc but for Vista I couldn't find anything. Is there any method to solve my problem besides upgrading to Win 7 or buying a router?
I'm afraid this answer giant going to be much use to you but seriously consider upgrading to windows 7, I know a fair bit about windows and vista is a really badly built os. Windows 7 is so much better, as I say probably not much help but a genuine recommendation.
Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
Win8 is a $39 upgrade still.
do you not just do it the same way?
on your gs3 go into settings, more settings, tethering and mobile hotspot
then on your laptop turn on the wifi, search for connections, find the one your phone just created and enter the password the phone tells you
This?

Thanks all for replying......guess I need to upgrade or buy a router.
@ skimminstones..I am trying to share my laptops internet connection with my phone....I guess the one you are mentioning is the reverse ...i.e. to share the phone's data connection with the laptop which will mean network charges ...Correct me if I am wrong.
No need to upgrade or buy a router, install Connectify to your pc. It has basic functions for free. No need to root phone either

/edit I see that adhoc mode is only available on vista version
