Windows Mobile ICS?

Hey, I have been thinking. Why must we stop using the machine and making act like a modem?

I have digged a bit on MSDN and Windows CE has Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Which should allow it to bridge or NAT a connection.

Which means, having a PAN bluetooth network could allow us to NAT computer access to the GPRS connection...

If anyone knows enough to dig into it, and see if we can enable and configure it in our WM5, that would be great...

Also, if there are any components missing, there is eVC4 + sp4, which allows building a free development environment for CE5 / WM5.

Windows CE ICS is available since CE 4.2 according to MSDN.

Any ideas? anyone ever treaded this road to give GPRS internet to PCs?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] greatbal:
@Brazilian Joe,

i am able to use my Windows Mobile devices to act as a wireless modem via BT (or USB for that matter). If via USB, as USB Modem and if via BT, thru DUN (Dialup Networking). In both cases, i can access the internet on my laptop via GPRS of my Windows Mobile device.

Right now, i have a Feeler on WM5 and BA on WM5. I still can use this method on my Feeler. But, no luck on my BA with WM5. I posted a few posts on the previous WM5 rom threads re making the BA work as a modem, but nobody has replied, nor if anybody has been ever succesful.

Is this what you mean?

Hope we can make the BA work as a modem...

I have updated my Qtek9090 and I am quite happy with this ROM. Thanks

everyone, good work. There is however still one problem: my headset.

I can't get a proper connection between my Jabra BT250 and Qtek 9090.

The connection is established but there is a lot of noise.

People complain that they can hardly hear me and it is difficult for me

to understand the other persons because of the noise.

Can anyone tell me if this is a bluetooth (driver) problem or that it will be

solved if I use another headset?

Bluetooth

Hi Helmi

On my BA I got also the Bluetooth-Problem, that it can't be activated. After a sr it works again.

But most of time it works - in contrast to the wifi. This is my worst problem I got on my BA.

But all in all I find this version the best.

Have a good day

Hello helmi_c,

I installed the patch and can confirm functionality. However i never used STK myself. But i can say STK starts up now, in your ROM 1.3.1 (originaly) it didn't just startup for me. But it doesn't do anything when i select an entry in the initial listbox or when i hit "select".

Hope it helps

greatbal,

I can successfully use the machine as a modem on 2003SE, but like you, so far it has been a no-go to use it as a modem under WM5.

Then I thought:

Is that the ONLY way to make my PC use the GPRS connection to browse the web?

NO!

Windows can do ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) since windows 98, and windows mobile is a Windows CE tailored for, well, mobiles.

I digged into MSDN looking for info on whether CE had ICS capabilities or not. Turns out YES, it has.

Now, if we can find out how to enable it, we can make a BT PAN to the PC, and use the routing/NAT capabilities of CE/WM5 to browse the web.

Now, look at this, which I got on MSDN, my comments are in italic:

<snip>

Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2

Enabling NAT

The following steps show how to enable NAT for a Windows CE-based device using IPv4.

To enable NAT

1. Enable IP forwarding by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter registry key equal to 1.

2. Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\EnableAddressTranslation registry key equal to a non-zero value.

3. Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PublicInterface registry key to the public interface on which you want to enable NAT. now, where do I find THIS value?-->This value should contain a string that indicates the adapter instance for a network card, or that indicates the RAS connection name for a dial-up connection.

Now the key is where do we find the 'adapter instance or RAS connection name', so that we can try this solution.

NAT mappings expire after a certain amount of time if the mappings are not used. The default expiration time is 24 hours for TCP connections, and 1 minute for UDP mappings. You can configure these expiration times by setting registry subkeys contained under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\IPNat registry key.

The following table shows optional registry subkeys that you can use to configure these expiration times.

Subkey Description
TCPTimeoutSeconds_ Specifies the amount of time before TCP mappings expire in the NAT, if the mappings are not used.
UDPTimeoutSeconds Specifies the amount of time before UDP mappings expire in the NAT, if the mappings are not used.

</snip>

Which can be found here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceics/html/ceconEnablingNAT.asp

The advantage of this solution is that we won't have to stop using the PDA and opening a program to make a notebook navigate the web whilc on the move. In short, we cut off some bureaucracy from our connection management.

hi there,

I have installed this version on my PDA2k but non of the extra programs (like TaskManager, WM5 Storage, Smart Dial, Flightmode or anything else...) were installed on the device, could anyone advice please...

another thing I really suggest to add the battery program called Batti with the latest vervion 2.1 to the Helmi version, it is fantastic program to show the status of your battery by looking at a colored bar beside Start menu without needing to open Battery Settings with your Pen, this program is free and you can find Multi-lang versions in the following link: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/releases/2.1.php#downandinstall

I hope i suggested a good idea... :D

Dear kerio,

I have Extra folder in Programs and has some programs but not the extra programs in the 1.3.1 while i am of course sure that i have downloaded the 1.3.1 because all the files there say this, but by the way, I got now to Device Information to see that ExtRom Verion is Helmi 1.1 but Operator Verion is AKU3.2, it is really strange, I am really shocked of this, could anyone help, is it must to have ExtRom: Helmi 1.3.1 in Device Information...????!!!!!

and about Smart Dial, it is not in windows 2005 by default, it is just add-on to phone ;)

for the battery program, i requested it bcause it is toooooo small and free and sooooo useful, anyway it is up to developers to decide my friend ;)

WModem, wishlist for Helmi 1.3.2

Yeah, you might have noticed i have already tried this, but so far I haven't had any luck in making this work. others might succeed though. Please, people, try this out! Maybe my problem is just a detail...

BUT, my questioning above is tackling the 'PC-to-GPRS' problem from a different approach, using the system's built-in NAT capabilities instead of the WModem solution.

Another subject:

Here is my small configuration tweaks wishlist for Helmi 1.3.2:

1. Having <Left Softkey> mapped to the <mail> hardware button and <Right Softkey> mapped to the <Internet Explorer> hardware button.

2. Having <Rotate Screen> mapped to a hardware button. My suggestion is the top-left button, <contacts>, because it's teh natural place the right thumb would rest when looking at the machine in landscape (and I never use it). Besides, Contacts is also mapped to the left softkey button on the today screen, making it redundant.

3. Disable Backlight setting to 'turn off backlight if device not used' when the machine is on External Power.

If have the same problem as Chris. After a soft reset bluetooth is working fine. But after no parrent reason BT switches off. Wireless Manager indicats that Bt is onso does Comm Manager but when you look at the BT settings the box "Turn on BT" is empty. It also refused to be activated.

using the first command (xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521), nothing comes up after but C:\

using the second command (xda3nbftool -d -t -x nk.nbf nk.nba), the result is similar to hiverli's:

C:\ROM>xda3nbftool -d -t -x nk.nbf nk.nba

xda3nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040521

ms_.nbf: No such file or directory

Radio_.nbf: No such file or directory

both commands yielded no nk.nba anywhere...

i assume xda3nbftool.exe is working fine... or is it?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
after performing that command, u should have NK.nba in your C:\ROM\ directory.

Re: WModem, wishlist for Helmi 1.3.2

Joe, could you start a new thread for this? It's a fantastic idea and I'm very interested in it. It would turn the phone into a portable WiFi hotspot if you could run a dhcpd server on it and route over the gprs connection. This is a BIG deal, it'll get you front page news on many tech sites.

I'm a bit of a networking type, so I can help out with it. I have zero msdn experience though. Been using Visual Studio recently and frankly I can't stand it!

I prefer the WM5 New menu util that is similar to the WM2003 hotkey. The quick shortcuts to "new mail" and "new task" are my most common way of doing these. I usually remove "excel" and "word" from this menu though and just keep it for PIM data.

You can set this manually IIRC. I never rotate the screen on my BA ever but I do use the contact button regularly. The only buttons I rarely use are calendar (I use it sometimes) and the voice/camera ones.

Agreed. I've also noticed that as the password prompt comes up when on external power. It didn't do that on 2003 and Tuma's WM5 ROM. Really annoying as I don't want the screen locking when it's docked, I want to see my current todo lists!!

Hi,

yes - use DDI_D3D_Driver.CAB (can be found in add-ons folder of Helmi`s 1.3.1/2 release) instead of the default ACE_DDI_Driver.CAB. That will make Agile Messenger and also Wififofum work.
