Hi all,

I am wondering if this software/proceedure will also work for PC -> PPC USB connection with Enhanced Network Functionality set up on the USB connection and the PPC set as the gateway on the PC.

Also, does the software detect Routes or Port Forwarding that the PC would have set up running throught the connection?

One more thing, does anyone know how I can increase the WiFis Signal Strength via the software beyond what the PPC standard WiFi sofware allows it to be set to? (Power consumption doesn't matter because it will be plugged into a PC).

Can anyone also tell me why the Wireless Modem software that comes with WM5 will not act as a wireless modem and connect to the desired WAP?

I know this is a lot of questions, and I apologise, but I have been trying to get this working for a week now so I can earn money easier instead of having to wander closer to the HotSpot with my Mobile so I can email those that are employing me.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Andrew.

Hi Werner,

First, thanks for all the great info - it's most appreciated.

I have an HTC TYTNII and an HTC Advantager X7500. Both are great devices, but the screen on the TYTNII is too small for my old eyes and the X7500 isn't a viable phone. Rather than sitching SIM cards, I would like to access the internet and email on the 7500 usine the TYTNII as a "host". I read your article on setting up a WIFI conenection between two PDA's, got them to connect to each other but I can't make the internet connection from the 7500. I get the message "answering modem has disconnected". Did I miss something, do I need to set up a special connection in "connection settings"? I'll appreciate any additional help.

Can this be done with a bluetooth or cable connection?

Thanks again.

Just change the

requestHeaders.add(line);

line to

requestHeaders.addElement(line);

Then, it'll compile just fine.

That is, you want to use your PDA as a GPRS modem for your laptop?

Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely Windows Mobile will ever support this functionality out-of-the-box, however much I try to push this issue inside Microsoft.

There are no third-party products for this either, unfortunately.

John, nope, unfortunately. It's HTTP-only, looks for well-formed HTTP requests and responses on TCP ports. That is, it can't work with any other protocol.

Do you run my HTTP proxy server on the EVDO-connected PDA? If yes, can you connect to the Web through it from the LOCAL PPC?

It's only by using my HTTP proxy server that you can share an Internet connection on a Pocket PC - the operting system itself doesn't do the same, as opposed to desktop Windows operating systems.

Nope, you won't play games.

Yes, you will be able - at least to access the Web. Make sure you run CrEme on your 6700 though - it's the only 100% WM5-compliant JVM right now.
