Drop it. No way to do it. I've posted here just a few weeks ago, tried everything, with no luck. It simply isn't possible with the latest ActiveSync 4.1, and the older one 3.8 which has the wifi functionality, is not compatible with WM 5.0.

So forget about it. You can connect through wifi, but no synching...

[lover]

Thank you very much but what is the benefith to connect through wifi?? i cant even send a file or connect to internet!!! At list give me a clue to conect Internet through WiFi & PC. but i think if we do the right Setting for IP in WiFi we would get connected some how....

Connecting through wifi gives you some good things... FOr one, I can stream all my mp3, and movie collection through wifi from PC to my prophet in real time... Yes, even movies work perfectly. So you don't have to keep your mem card full. And you can transfer files to/from PC with little problem.

To set it up, just set up a network on your pc, turn on wifi. Your prophet will discover it, and you can connect to it. Then you need a program like PocketLan, and you can set up a network folder in your prophet which lets you view all the folders you have placed on share on the PC. (so you have to place some folders on share).

I haven't tested sharing an internet connection, but it should not be a problem. I will test tomorrow or tuesday, and let you know.

Cheers.

Resco File Explorer will let you add "share drives" also. You can add directories or drives.

It seems that sharing internet connection through wifi is NOT possible with WM5... They have just ruined everything with this stupid upgrade of activesync!

Anyone aware of a work arround so my PC internet connection works on my PPC connected to it with ad-hoc wifi?

[lover]

as i said i think with IP configuration there might be a way to share it. or i think XDA fellow should program a Stack for this issue on activesyns4.x

you definitely need to do your research better

I have a wi-fi network at home and connect my Prophet to the internet without any problem, and so do thousands of other users.

If you have a wi-fi router, just set it to use the encryption supported by the Prophet. I found that using an authentication of "WPA-PSK" and encryption of TKIP works perfectly.

If you're setting up an ad-hoc network between a pc and the Prophet, you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the PC with the internet connection and voila'

You do not need activesync over wifi to use internet on the Prophet, just use it as a normal pc on wi-fi network. However what they have not been able to do till now is enable Activesync over Wi-fi for synchronisation.

Perhaps you are right Acer, since I was not able to fully test it with your specs.

I have a company cable network LAN, and a wireless adapter on the laptop which is free. But unfortunatelly, I was not able to set up internet sharing of the LAN, since it goes over a Network Bridge. Anyone now how this could be enabled?

THanks for the info Acer, its helpful...

Dude thanx i have a laptop and i have made an ad-hoc network between my pc and the Prophet, also i have shared my dialup connection but it is not working, if possible would you please explain step by step settings?

[acer175]

do you have Windows XP on your laptop?

[lover]

do you have Windows XP on your laptop?
yes i am using XP home Edition and my laptop is Averatec 3200 series

[Munyuk81]

Just go to properties on your dial up internet sharing and set share this connection. i thinks thats about it. i've not use it for a long time, but if I remember correctly that's about it. you have to share it with your WI-FI adapter of course.

Some WI-Fi card can configure this automacticly. Like several I seen. You can set it as a router, and you're good to go.

[lover]

BUMP @ acer175 ..where are you dude??!!!

[acer175]

Hi lover. Sorry, I thought Munyuk81's response was enough.

Anyway, on Windows XP, open Network Connections, right-click on your dial-up/ADSL connection, selet Properties.
Open the Advanced tab, you should have an Internet Connection SHaring section. Enable "Allow other users to connect etc, etc...". Select the wireless network adapter if given the option. Click YES if asked to change the IP.

Next create a wi-fi network using the XP utlities or your card's utilities. Don't touch the IP address of the wi-fi card.

Next on your Prophet, enable Wi-Fi and it should discover the network by itself. If you set a key in the step above, it will ask you to enter it.

@acer175

Do you know how i can share my Lan internet which goes over a Network Bridge? WHen I removed the Lan from the Network Bridge, I could see the options for ICS, but there was no internet to share, as the connection was lost. Adding it back to the network bridge restores the internet connection, but removes the option for sharing it with the other (wifi) card...

Anyone?

[acer175]

i haven't tried it myself, but thinking logically, when you add a connection to a bridge, it loses its individual attributes. You have to check the properties of the bridge, and check if there are ICS options there, however I do not think that XP allows that, but you can try.

ALso see if this may be helpful:

my internet connection is shared (dial up)
even i can another laptop to mine( connect through LAN) and use internet but my JAMin can not

[acer175]

@lover

what are you exact wi-fi settings on the pc?

and what are the exact wi-fi settings on the Prophet?

[lover]

my settings are default and even no IP,
would you tell me which part of setting you mean

[tjongi]

Install WinProxy to your PC and configure properly.
With WinProxy, your PC will act as a proxy server.
In your Internet Explorer's PPC set it to connect through proxy server IP.
I thing this will work.

Hi guys

I've just stumbled over this post, thought it was interesting since I've been battling with this since I got the Prophet (Qtek s200)

Well, first of all, how on earth can you set the IP address on the Prophet?? I don't want to have my DHCP enabled, want to have a fix IP.. but I have not found out how to set it yet.

Further: I could not manage to browse any folders on my Server nor my Laptop from the Prophet. My server runs Linux on it, I have Samba and NFS anabled (works with all the rest). When I connect through Wifi, and try to mount a drive with Resco Expolere, it always tells me that the drive doesn't exist, that the server could not be connected to.

Message: "No computer was found in the network. Check your network card or modify settings to specify your network subnets."

Freakin', the subnet is the right one (or I assume so, since my DHCP gives the right one and you can't check the subnet on the Prophet, only the given IP... and that one for sure is in the subnet)

Still neither my laptop's shares nor any of the Servers are displayed...

What should I do, what can I do, is there anything I'm doing wrong? there is no further settings... I checked on everything..

Please help me, I would really like to pull files directly from my server, like I was able to do it with my Palm (with SMBmate)
