Internet Sharing between two pdas

[howardke85]

I am wandering if there is a way to share my internet connetion between my alltel ppc 6800 with the new htc shift. I know how to link the phone with my laptop but I am currently looking at purchasing the shift to replace it and was wandering if the connection would work. If anyone has tried this please post.

P.S. the connection would be via bluetooth unless I converted the mini usb from the ppc 6800 to usb back to usb to plug into the shift. Thanks.

not sure if it could be done with BT, pretty sure it cant be done with USB (unless the shift can operate in host mode)

what should work is wifirouter (im sure the shift has wireless)

ok so how would i get the connection to work through a router? The only internet connection i have is through the ppc 6800.

nono, wifirouter is an app that you would run on your 6800, it essentially turns it into a wireless access point that other wifi enabled devices can use for internet access

where is the app available for download at?
Is that the only way it would work or could I configure the 6800 as a modem to connect?

[howardke85]

ok I downloaded the app but still cant connect. I am trying the connection via my laptop and it stops at waiting for Internet connection sharing. is there some setting that needs to be changed or what am i doing wrong?

You ever figure out how to get the internet on your pda using the 6800 and the connection? I would like to do this bluetooth with my setup.

The newest version of WMWiFiRouter ($$$) allows you to do this over wifi, BT, or USB. If you have the money, it's a great program.

I have WMWifiRouter and use it with my laptop. How do i use it with bluetooth to get internet on my Dell X51? The x51 wants to dial a number when you setup a connection.
