AS 4.5 -> Internet passthrough (100s of solutions, but none is working???)

[marcelser]

Hi,

Since AS 4.2 came out I have problems to use USB Internet passthrough in Activesync, als AS 4.5 did not solve this problem. I googled around a lot and also searched in xda forums but everyone is giving other instructions, some say this, some say it the other way. It also does not depend on the rom, I had the same problem on the wizard and now also with my TyTN on wm5 and wm6 roms.

So my question is: How to enable USB internet passthrough on ActiveSync 4.5? At the moment my desktop activesync is set to "automatic" in the connection settings, and on my device under Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks I have "Orange Internet" as the connection which connects to the internet (which has in the proxy settings "this network connects to the internet" enabled). and the work connection is "My ISP" which has no settings at all. I tried to add a new network connection but didn't even know which Modem I have to choose and so I gave this up.

I also tried to set my desktop activesync to either use "Work" or "Internet" instead of automatic but when I try to use Opera, Internet Explorer or any other program like downloading the weather data all programs say that the host or page cannot be found or report a network error.

Can anyone help with this, I'm really very desperate... Cause I also tried to find the correct settings for hours now, but without luck...

Thanks for any help with this subject.

do you use a proxy server for this pass through connection? what activesync partnership do you have setup "Guest" or a Normal one...

[docles2002]

First to be able to use passthrough you must be connected to your PC via USB and thus connected to active sync. Active Sync should be fully set-up.

First question;
Can you synchronize your data through Active Sync 4.5.

If yes. Try to tick all the items in the desktop active sync> connections settings. On the space "this computer is connected to" select automatic
second: Can your PC connect to the internet?

If yes open the PC Internet Explorer and try to browse, then, while connected at USB, open Pocket Internet Explorer in your mobile and try to browse. You should be connected to the internet then. Good Luck!!;)

If still you wouldnt connect there must be wrong on your Active Sync partnership set-up

I don't use any proxy server for connecting to the internet, my PC is directly connected to a NAT Router, as well as my linux box and my girlfriends computer and all work perfect.

As for the activesync partnership, where do I see the type of my partnership or in other words, what is a "guest" partnership? The only thing I see is that my device is named "WM_marc1" and that activesync items sync perfectly but the internet passthrough won't work.

I hope you can give me further advice with this information. Thanks for you help

My data synchronizes perfectly through AS 4.5 and I have already checked all items in connection settings. Of course my computer is connected to the internet (see reply to walshieau) and honestly IE and pocket IE have nothing to do with internet passthrough, it's all about TCP/IP subnetting, bridging, tunnelling or whatever method AS 4.5 uses for internet passthrough.

Sorry if i am not explicit...but i hope this helps. For my wizard i remember i had to install a reg on the PC. It did some changes to the Active Sync registry.
The bad is that i don't have that reg :o

hi, I am using wm6(LVSW series, black Series and now Official Dopod release) on my hermes, everytime I can successfully connect to the internet via activesync using whatever program like pie, opera, spb insight, weather update, WML etc.

what I have done is simply unchecked the 'enable advanced network functionality' under start -> settings -> connections ->USB to PC and then plug the usb cable to my pc.

I use activesync 4.5.

hope this help :)

YES WORKS UNDER VISTA TOO
simply check the 'allow data connections on device when conneted to the pc' under connection settings and then plug the usb cable to pc.

I had the same problem and this reg key fixed it for me 100%

Download this file AND RENAME IT TO lspvalue.reg
the double click on the reg file on your PC

That's the one i was talking about, thanks i was going to need it too :D

[boot_sectorz]

Ok followed the procedures. I think anyone of them works. Mine worked by changing on PC activesync to "this computer is connected to: The Internet". Nothing else worked. I had the reg hack from the time of my beloved Wizard!

[hsalah72]

go to:
start -> settings -> connections -> advanced -> select network
make sure that
"programs that automaticaly connect to the internetshould connect using"
"my work network" and not "my isp"

then go to
start -> settings -> connections -> usb to pc
and make sure to uncheck "enable advanced network functionality"

that should do it

Why can't someone come up with an ACTUAL solution to this?

When I connect my Tilt to the PC it automatically passes the internet connection through the PC. I did the registry fix and tried all four settings (0, 1, 10, 11) and still my data connection on the phone is overridden by the active sync desktop pass-through. I turned off the advanced networking option and still it goes through the PC. I even went through all the settings in active sync for "This computer is connected to" even though that doesn't even look like it would affect which connection my phone uses. This seems more like a setting within active sync on the phone more than anything.

I use my phone at work for chatting on yahoo IM (with Palringo) since my company network is filtered. I use a program called MyMobiler to transfer the phone display and controls to the PC so I can use my desktop keyboard for the chat program instead of my phone's keypad. Since the network is filtered the internet connection on my phone is filtered too since it's passed through the desktop when I active sync it to use MyMobiler. Sometimes Palringo will hold the connection even after I've connected to the desktop and sometimes it won't.

Bottom line here is can someone come up with an real working solution to this problem that a LOT of people are having?

HOW TO DISABLE DESKTOP PASSTHROUGH WHEN CONNECTING WITH ACTIVESYNC. Search that on google and here and all you will find are people saying "Yeah I have that problem too" or people telling how to connect WITH desktop passthrough.

[gboybama]

I have a similar issue. I have my phone connected to my work PC to charge / sync, but all Internet connections attempted by the phone are being routed through my work network until I unplug the USB.

Naturally, that's very bad since all Internet traffic is logged by my work and many sources are blocked. I have an unlimited data plan on my phone. Why can't I stay connected to it when I'm hooked to ActiveSync?

I read someplace that Windows Mobile has an order of preference where connections are concerned. Probably hard line, then wi-fi, 3G and then EDGE. Surely there must be some way to modify this order of preference.

[+ Que PPC]

The problem here is give to the PPC internet via usb... providede by a PC...

The solution that REG (that works for me EVER!!!).

And now other one provide internet to my PC via usb on phone account

[gboybama]

With apologies, I'm not sure I understood what you said there.

But, some of us are actually trying to stop receiving internet by the USB.

I would like the phone to initiate a wireless 3G connection even when connected to the PC. But, thus far, all settings I've tried still cause my phone to attempt to access my business network here at my company.

Big no-no. :eek:

[character]

have you finally solved the problem?
If so just like to ask if you have change your homepage in ppc? which is
file://windows/default_0409.htm?
and have not run your network wizard? then maybe I have the solution here

Reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer/AboutURLs/

usually it is ( default value )
A.Blank value is res://webview.dll/blank.htm
B.Home_0409 value isfile://windows/default_0409.htm
C.version_0409value isfile://windows/default_0409.htm

if there is a new reg in that one try to delete that file again using a registry explorer ( depends on what you use to view the file)

turn it off for about 30 secs then soft reset... I hope this helps out

[gboybama]

I'm not sure that addresses the issue, or mine at least. My phone disables HSDPA the moment I plug the USB cable into the phone and Active Sync takes over. It's before I even open a browser.

Not only does the phone start looking for Internet over the USB Active Sync connection, it looks for non browser related things like weather updates and sending mail to the gmail server.

Somewhere, it's coded to have an order of preference in what kind of connection it accesses. By default, it seems to look for any available land line connection, possibly wi-fi next, then 3G and then EDGE. I'd like to take the land line connection completely out of the equation.

Try network wizard:)

I'd love to find a solution to the same problem.
See, on the road, my only access to the internet is through my tilt. But there are situations like when I need to run google earth on my laptop AND use tilt as the GPS receiver. For that I need both activesync AND to be able to tether altogether. So far I can have one OR the other but not both. There must be a solution for this. Anyone?

Maybe try using: wifi router (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152)

I did. It shuts down my activesync too. Maybe I'm missing something about its configuration but so far only PDAnet works pretty good. Too bad it's so pricy but I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and fork over $34 for it.
Anyone else any ideas?

Sorry for the bump and hijack, but as I've been having this issue & want this fixed, I started a new thread at Modaco.com (http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-general-discussion/299276/central-usb-activesync-connection-blocking-wireless-connections/) about this problem and the solutions I found so far.

Since I've still been unable to get USB ActiveSync to just be 'Active' (for MyMobiler control), without the 'Sync' part (to allow wireless connections as opposed to desktop passthrough for Internet connectivity), I'm hoping this bump might expose the problem more, and finally come up with a fix. :)

As a side note, I'm wondering whether this problem has anything to do with a firewall/policy setting on the PC, actively enforcing the disabling of wireless connections.
