Windows Mobile 6 & Extra Dial String

[kevdyas]

Hello

I am using Windows Mobile 6 and want to make a connection from my Pocket PC to the internet using my mobile phone on a Bluetooth connection, on Windows Mobile 5 I would using the 'Extra Dial String' part while making the connection to *99# but in WM6 it has disappeared therefore I cannot make any connections.

Any tips?

Ta!

WM6 did remove DUN networking on favor of PAN. It has been hacked to get back DUN. I am on dial up tonight do not able to find links for you but look for a thread I started about TOMTOM and DUN and look for mfrazzz's response. Also you can look for menneisys (sp?) posting on pocket pc mag or somewhere where he details how to do the hack.

In WM6 is really easy..

It includes an application called "Internet Sharing" (it must be in programs).

To use it, you only have to chose in 2 combo boxes:

1- If you want to share the connection via USB or Bluetooth

2- Which network connection you want to share

Then tap on Connect, and then plug the USB cable (or connect via bluetooth).

After this, you phone would be recognized by windows as a network connection (the one you shared).

That's it...

Just keep in mind that if your connection uses a proxy, then you have to set this proxy in the program that you want to use in the PC too.

This was a well known problem that was discussed somewhere. If I remember correctly, the idea of the solution is pretty simple, but the implementation is rather tedious.

As a matter of fact, those connection settings including extra modem init strings are stored in the HKCU-Comm->RasBook-<connection name> registry under the keys "DevCfg" and "Entry".

If you export them in ASCII, you will know what I mean. They claimed that you can export these registries (esp the "DevCfg" key) from a WM5 device (with your init strings of course), and import it back to WM6. Things would then work as you wished.

But the trouble is you got to get a WM5 machine or someone to try to do it for you.
