WM6 Internet Connection Sharing Problem

[LAN_KILLA]

Hi Guys

Sorry if ive posted this in the wrong place (Admins, feel free to move it if need be)

Well... My old iMate JasJar (HTC Universal) died completely last night, so today I went and got myself an OKTA Boss... Im pretty sure its an HTC Manufactured phone, just cant quite work out which model... But anyway... Onto my problem

I regularly work out of the office and rely on my PDA for internet access, I used to use the USB Dialer for WM5 with the JasJar and it worked just fine.

Now the new BOSS has WM6 so has Internet Connection Sharing... But I just cant get it to work...

Everytime I connect it the icon in the taskbar (Im running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5) searchs for the IP address and then fails to find an IP, coming up with a error in a bubble:

"There is limited or no connectivity on this network connection"

ActiveSync works fine, as does browsing and copying files to and from the phone within My Computer, but Internet Connection Sharing doesnt...

Heres what Ive tried so far...

-Turn off USB Connections in ActiveSync (on PC, have to do this anyway or PDA complains)
-Diabled Windows Firewall (on PC)
-Disabled or deleted all other network connections and old USB Modem drivers (on PC)
-Turned off "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" (on phone)
-Tried 3 Different PCs and 4 Different Cables (all with same results)
-Yelled @ various peices of IT equipment in my house LOL

So any ideas on how to fix this?

If not then my Screen Name is living up to its meaning.

Make sure you close the ActiveSync when it try to start, you can do it with the X Button

or simply use the

Setting > System > Memory > Running Program

select ActiveSync and the click Stop

If you do this quick the internet connection will up if you let the ActiveSync run long enough it will set up PC to your device connection for data syncronization/transfer only with no routing to internet.


Hope this help

Maybe Your service provider does not allow you to use your data connection to share with the pc, try using pdanet that way you can syncronise and use it for ICS at the same time
