Wifi Internet Sharing

[ShuShine]

Hi Guys, My laptop wifi is broken so i'm wondering if it is possible to share my Wing's Wifi to my laptop via USB.

It is. I don't know about a default rom, but you can internet share off your phone's 3g on the rom i use, juststable. I've only figured it out for 3g though, not on a wifi network.

i''m using FingerMe currently but I used JustHome 19 before and I can't figure out how to make it work

You just run the Internet Sharing program included in the ROM, connect via USB, follow the program's directions, and you're off!

(Unless apreincher removed internet sharing...)

It should work with your WiFi connection on your phone, too.

Oh, and, on a WM6.5 ROM, it's called Modem Link.

Hmm, well you said you are using the Modem Link program from WM6.5, correct???

You can install the original Internet Sharing program, here: http://thewingster.com/internetsharing.aspx

(direct download: http://thewingster.com/Documents/Internet%20Sharing.CAB)

Maybe that'll work for you, if you aren't using the Internet Sharing version already. And also, I think you're supposed to start the internet sharing, and then connect your USB. Otherwise ActiveSync might interferre.

ace, have you actually done this?

As far as I know, the default Internet Sharing program wont actually share the phone's wifi connection with the host computer.

The solution is to use Internet Connection Sharing Control v0.21, which is a third party application that was created specifically for arranging the data stream however you want. The author touts it as being capable of "Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the PC (neat, eh?)." Looks like it might be a somewhat complicated program to figure out, but it should accomplish whatever he's asking.

The default Internet Sharing program has a connection called WModemLink, which might be WiFi.

I never tried it though, so it's true that the third-party app is probably better.
