S.O.S.: Jam + internet + desktop...

[Markino]

Hi guys!
Is it possible to surf the web with my Jam using the internet connection of my desktop pc (in office with lan connection and in house with dial-up!)?

Yes it is, you need to setup activesync over bluetooth however or activesync over Wifi with an add-in card.

There are a lot of guides around on how to do it with bluetooth! :)

[Markino]

Well!
With only the USB cable is not possible?

[zerimar]

Yes it's possible with AS via USB. I've been doing it a long time ago. I don't really surf but I use it to update currency and weather in WorldMate Pro.

[Markino]

zerimar, can you explain me how can I do it please?

[zerimar]

There's nothing special. As long as there's a working USB connection between the PPC and AS, open your browser and type in the url.

You have to go to connection settings within AS and set "this computer is connected with" to "internet"

then you can surf with your mdac via usb

I don't see what you mean coz I didn't need to do anything in AS Connection Settings.

Hello,

I dont think you need any extra settings to be done. Just have your PC connected to the net and Synchronize your device with active sync and open Pocket ie...Thats it i do!

I know what he means cause i got the same problem, one of my 2 pc connections (one work one home) the work one has a corp lan proxy. ive got only one application that can connect thru the firewall which is Egress RSS reader.

is there anyway to give the proxy link plus username and password like you can in egress to the connection details on the phone or within activesync somewhere?

ive seen on other forums people asking the same thing.
