Hello there !
I would like to accomplish the following:
- VPA Compact 2 WM-5 with German E-Plus SimCard, giving me an excellent GPRS/Edge internet connection on the mobile phone.
Is it possible, by connecting my Laptop with the HTC Wizard, to use the mobile phone GPRS connection to browse the web with my laptop `?
Does anybody know/have an exact tutorial for a little dumb as I am ?
Thanks in advance !

There should be an application in the programs folder called Internet Sharing. As long as the laptop has been setup previously with active sync the internet Sharing program will give your laptop access to the internet. It has worked on every XP system that I have tried but I have not used it on a Vista machine.

Sorry, but on my WM device there is no such program... I guess it is an older WM5 version.
Any simple solution ?

Thank you, Orb3000...
Thank you for your hint, you seem to know where the information lies:D
I successfully installed the driver „USBMDM.INF“ under Windows XP.
My problem:
After going on the phone to "Modem Link" according to chapter "1.1.1.1.1 The Pre-WM5 AKU3 approach" (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2398206&postcount=2), as an "Access point name" in the drop down menu, I can only select “none”, nothing else.
I believe I should select my “eplus GPRS” connection, but it is not available in the drop down menue !
What am I doing wrong ?
Can you please help ?
Thank you,
