Internet Sharing and Vista

[yozh]

Hello, been using custel 2.5 for a while now, probably the day after it came out. Now I need to use internet sharing adn I`m not able to do it thru BT. When I pair my device I can do activesync just fine, but on Vistas BT manager (BT Devices) its not showing the dial-up device. This is strange it works fine with the USB connection, but I really need the BT. Please help. Thanks in advance.

BTW it used to work with wizard with WM6. Thanks

its not a dail up service to start off with its a PAN. second what BT stack are you using? I had the broadcomm stack first and that wouldnt work so i had to switch to the native MS stack and its works fine. If you know how to edit the bt.inf file on your vista machine that will install the MS stack instead of the other stack.

Doesnt it show up in the dial-up services in vista bt device manager ? so i guess Im doint it wrong ? Is there a tutorial that I can see. I remmber on the wizard WM6 it just showed up as a dial-up device and I just dial it. How do I do it here ? Maybe I dont even have to edit anything, maybe Im just having a senior moment :) thx for the reply

believe it or not if you use your handheld's help program and search for internet sharing it will give you instructions on how to set it up. and no it does not show up on vista as a dail up network since it is not also search this forum for Bluetooth PAN and there is lots of info

Yeah got it working, works ok kinda slow, I get about 322k on dslreports.com/mspeed while on the phone I get around 800k on the phone it self and about 800 using the USB cable. Any suggestion on how to speed it up ?

I noticed the speed decrease over PAN compared to the USB cable as well. I get way more fluctuations over BT. I am sticking to the USB but it is a nice fallback. Also, for me, Internet Sharing is a night and day difference over dial-up networking/modem driver. It is so easy. This feature is a WM6 gem!

Bluetooth is severely limited in Terms of speed, especially if you're not using Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR

Hey Guys!

My first post with such a stupid problem:

i'm trying to connect to internet with vista 64bit using my hermes over usb. but it doesnt seem to work.

Until last week i had win xp sp3 on my pc and the internet sharing option in hermes worked without any problems. Now with Vista Ultimate 64 bit i can connect the phone to pc, sync works perfect.

when i start internet sharing, phone builds up a GPRS connection but after 2-3 sec it disconnects the data connection and active sync authentication starts with vista.

In vista i cant find any modem connection in network settings. The only thing i found was in device manager when phone is connected to pc (HTC USB Modem)

here is my spec :
- windows vista ultimate 64bit
- mobile device center 6.1
- Framework etc. is installed

my Hermes:
- HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V3_WWE_02.10.2 008
- SPL 2.10 olipro
- radio ver 1.54.30.10


i have re-installed the drivers and device center several times without success.

What the hell i forgot or what i'm doing wrong...:confused::confused::confused:

Are there any tools or drivers i should use?

My friend has a vista 32 bit system. with his pc its no prob...some rndis drivers installed itself and we began to surf.

But in my vista 64, i missed this rndis driver installation......

Please can someone help me, i'm so confused...

Try checking your firewall... maybe disable it to test and see if it works temporarily.

Alright, thank you i'll try it on monday when i'm in office...

Ive no i-net there so i must be prepared, so are there any specific drivers or something i need to download? Or is device center enough?
