ICSControl does NOT use intshrui.exe, also known as the Internet Sharing app. That application appears to dial the internet in a special way that lets the carrier know you are sharing so they can charge accordingly. ICSControl does not do this so the carrier would not detect sharing in this fashion. However, there are other methods that a carrier could use to detect PC-based data usage, for example they could monitor web traffic to see how your web browser identifies itself to remote servers. I do not know if any carriers do this but I suspect they do not. The safest thing to do would be to try it out for a few minutes and wait for your next bill.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lysdexical:
Drivers from a laptop are NOT compatible with PDA's, they are entirely different architectures. It appears that on your device the ipnat driver exists but is configured in a strange way or is not configured at all. The next release of ICSControl will attempt to fix this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lysdexical:
The adapter names differ from device to device. For sharing over WiFi:

1) To go your WiFi settings and select the "only computer to computer" under "Networks to Access" dropdown menu. Select "Add New" in the network list and pick a network name. Select "Work" in the "connects to" option and check the "this is a device to device connection" box. You can set up security if you know how and wish to do so.

2) Run ICSControl. Go to the bottom and hit Set All Defaults. Now go back to the top. Set your public interface to "Cellular Line" or "GPRS". If you don't have either of those then make a guess at what the cellular modem is called. Set your private interface to the name of your wireless card, usually it is easy to spot because it will have a W in it somewhere. Check the "Set Private IP" box.

3) Tap Start ICS.

4) Your laptop should now be able to connect to the adhoc network.

Is it possible to create a shortcut to start sharing (program should close once the sharing is enabled) ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Nor will it see a new wireless network, nor will you see anything happen on the screen. You have to setup a adhoc connection between your phone and computer first. This is all mentioned already in this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agentzee:
I have tried the following:

reg HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/Pan/ActivateOnBoot set to 1

reg HKLM/Comm/ConnectionSharing/DisabledOnBoot set to 0

Restart

I set BTPan as private, Cellular as public, press Start and then Quit.

From now, I can use Bt PAN to connect my laptop without touching the phone, connects/dicsonnects well.

The only problen is that after soft reset, i need to activate ICS Control again.

Is there any way to create a shortcut to activate ICS on device startup?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arvilrai:
It dos not seem to be working on my laptop. I have set the network and the LAN always says "connected" but when i open the internet browser then i am not able to open the wbsites.

I think i am not getting some settings right. Do we need to enter any values in DHCP, Servers, Apps tabs???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Nope i never did...are you trying wired or wireless? Either way, if your laptop is recieving an IP address, it should show up under dhcp clients though. That would be the first question I have though. Is the local connection working before worrying about internet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vecken:
i got it working pretty well on my HTC TYTN (hermes) win mobile CE 5.2, had to mess around with settings a bit, but i got this with only 2 bars of signal:

note: you need to set up an ad-hoc network BEFORE setting up ICS control, make sure the devices are connected, then configure the router.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djetaine:
According to other replies, you can but I am having trouble with it as well. Could be because im on windows 7 using mobile device center. Not sure. I've got a gaming computer that is not hooked up to the net and wanted to be able to use my phone as a wifi card every once in a while.

I've installed the app, got my tytnII hooked up with a USB cable.

My public interface is "TNETW12511" which im assuming is the wireless as everything else is cellular line or btpan.

My private interface is RNDISFN1

Set Private IP is checked

Allow suspend mode is checked

DHCP server is checked

DNS Proxy is checked

NAT Router is checked

Packet Filter is checked

NAT OPTIONS

Reserved port start : 1025

Reserved Port End : 3000

DMZ host is empty

The win7 pc doesnt seem to even notice im sharing my connection at all.

Under my network adapters in windows it shows that there is a connetion (Local Area Connection 3) that is for the phone but that was there before I even shared the internet. That is just the way windows sees the phone I believe.

Any ideas?

Edit: I just tested this on another machine running XP sp2 and it DOES work using these settings. It seems the hiccup is windows 7 (surprise surprise..)

When I have it connected to the win7 machine and I look at DHCP in ICS control, I see my PC and it is showing an ip of 192.168.2.57 but when i look at the status of local area connection 3 in win7 it just says ipv4 no internet access, media state - enabled.

Filesharing anyone?

This program kicks ass!

I've been able to do every kind of connection possible, only thing I haven't done is filesharing between 2 computers using the phone as a router. Has anyone been able to do this? Is this even possible?

Oh and to add another brief tutorial on top of the all the other ones:

TNETW12511 (or any variation of TNETW) = Wifi

Cellular Line 1 (or just Cellular Line) = Your Carrier's Internet (eg. Sprint, Verizon... etc)

Cellular Line 2 = Dunno .. never needed it but I'm assuming its Line 2 of your phone

Rndisfn1 = USB

BTPAN = Bluetooth

Public Interface = Where you want to get internet from.

Private Interface = Where you want to give internet to.

For example to get internet from Wifi and give it to USB:

Public = TNETW12511

Private = RNDISFN1

The ONLY time that I use the Set Private IP is when I am giving internet to WIFI (ie. Private Interface = TNETW12511). I ran into problems when I tried to set the private ip for usb. Not sure about Bluetooth as I've never had to use it.

Auto Connect to Network:

I only use this when my public interface is Sprint.

Allow Suspend Mode

I never check this box (I just read somewhere that this may cause bad things to happen)

That should be all you need to do. If anyone needs more info I can post my network settings.

is this something I can use instead of WMWiFiRouter?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mohitsapru:
may be this will help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbrenes:
djetaine The Problem is not Win 7, the ip that you're getting is te default IP for Active Sync/Mobile Center, you will need to add an static ip to the windows mobile interface, then the internet sharing will work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BennTech:
Yes. However, ICS is much more complicated and confusing than WMWiFiRouter's clean, simple interface. For example, I primarily want to share my phone's data with laptop via Bluetooth. With ICS, I have to enable Bluetooth, then open ICS and start it (assuming the plethora of cryptic settings are correct), then open Window Mobile's Connection Sharing and "Connect" it. (Maybe there's a better way, but that's the only way I could get it to work.) With WMWiFiRouter, I just click one button and it does all that for me automatically. I like WMWiFiRouter because WMWiFiRouter simply works.

That said, WMWiFiRouter was developed by an XDA member, who beta tested it here in the XDA community, then spun it into an overpriced commercial app that costs about double what it's worth, which I find personally offensive (even though, I dream that my apps & utilities might someday be likewise commercially viable). ;)

Thus, I'm glad I figured out how to get ICS working. Now if only it had a user-friendly interface... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Then it would become an overpriced commercial app that costs about double what it's worth!

Activesync, email not functioning

Hey all,

I tried pouring through all the posts but have been unable to find anything on this. Since installing I can no longer sync with my exchange server or get email from my hotmail account. Web browsing from the phone is very spotty as well. My phone is a HTC Fuze, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am afraid I am going to have to do a hard reset

Strange names

Must be a great app, but when I start it, the connections I am able to select have strange names like SPLD25SP1, BTPAN1 (Ok, this is the only one I know what is this for) and RNDISFN1.

My two questions are:

-I have an ETEN Glofiish M700. So there should be a menu entry for cellular, USB, WiFi and BtPan. But I only see three connection options.

-I have an Ubuntu Karmic Koala on my computer. Will I be able to use my phone as a WiFi adapter?

Thanks

Thermate

P. S. Sorry if bad English or impoliteness.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
That would depend...how are you trying to connect to your phone? Wireless? If so, you would need to use your wireless adapter, which is what SPLD25SP1 is I'm guessing. If you are going USB, RNDISFN1, and BTPAN1 is bluetooth.

Yes it works in ubuntu if you have rndis setup through usb, or by default if you are using wireless.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I went through pretty much trouble but got it working.

First, I installed the package that the forums told me to.

Then I connected the phone and presto!... nothing. My computer didn't even seem to realize that something was plugged onto it. But driven from a sudden idea I typed dmesg into the command line, and I saw plenty of error messages: "Error: unknown symbol: ..." So it missed a lot of kernel modules.

But one day somehow, update manager managed to download another kernel, put it into grub, and the modules I missed were in it! I am writing this reply over my "new" ETEN Glofiish M700 WiFi router! Thanks for your help!

PDA, USB to WIFI

Hello

I have a PDA device (No phone) and I try to use it as a WIFI router so I can get internet to my laptop from PC.

I connect the PDA to PC using USB.

How can I make things work step by step, please.

I spent two days on WIFI router, then I found ICSControl, but I"l lost in IP settings or whether should I use DHCP instead.

Thank you

I am ready to donate for the one building this if I can make it work, will be cheaper than spending a single other minute :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
I guess it's just United States ISP that give away free wireless routers. Everyone on my ISP gets one regardless if you use it or not. Even the cable and no internet customers. Anyways, the PDA has win mobile? I would think the setup would be no different, except the public interface would be the usb connection to your computer rather than cellular. If DHCP doesn't work, that's a good indication that something else is wrong because the wireless connection isn't being made.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crirus:
It's a matter of IPs I don't know to setup. I can give specific IP to each network adapter/connection, so I need someone with a good knowledge on such
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Well, being a network admin for over 10 years, I think I qualify. Set your phone adapter to 192.168.1.1. Set your computer to 192.168.1.2, with a gateway and dns of 192.168.1.1. Set both to a netmask of 255.255.255.0. But as I said, DHCP should work, because it works by broadcasting over the network medium and if that isn't working when both devices are set to DHCP, that's a good indicator that something else is wrong. But hey, have at it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crirus:
Well, my scenario is different.

I have a simple PDA with WM6, not phone.

I have a PC connected to internet and a laptop craving for internet :)

I connect the PDA to PC using USB. I get a PC IP, 169.254.2.2. Ishare INternet connection with that PDA connection on PC.

From there I am lost...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
My instructions were for that scenario. Your phone would still be used as a router, so that wouldn't change anything but the public and private interfaces, where public would be rndis (The one with 169.254.2.2 assuming you have internet working on your pda through active sync or whatever you are using) and private whatever your network adapter is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Double post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crirus:
I seems to have all kind of problems with DHCP.

ActiveSync works on PDA until I start messing with ICSControl. After that ActiveSync disconnects.

Can you help me from one ned to the other without using DHCP but some fixed IPs?

This is what I did so far:

PDA>Connection Settings>Computer-to-computer>Add New>

:PdaCrirus

:connects to Internet

:device-to-device

:wep auth

Turn Wifi on and get it connected to pdaCrirus

Plug in USB, Active Sync kicks in, I can browse internet.

PC IP is 169.254.2.2 (DHCP)

Looking into RNDIS at this point I have two IP addresses on it:

169.254.2.1 and 0.0.0.0

Wireless card(? CF8385PN1) have IP 169.254.188.250, Mask 255.255.0.0 (DHCP)

Not sure if all is ok by now.

I start ICS, I choose as public interface RNDISFN1, and private CF8385PN1 (wireless one right?)

Set private IP(null, auto fill as 169.254.3.3).

Start ICS

ActiveSync disconnects at this point in like 10 seconds.

I start the laptop and connect to pdaCrirus, I get No Internet Access... I can start to hate IT industry now!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
From what you just described, your PDA connects to your PC over wireless. Or is pdaCrirus what you named your adhoc connection? But yeah, those IPs I gave you above are to connect without DHCP.

Your computer would stay as is. Likewise on the RNDIS connection (use the one with the 169 address). The wireless adapter on your PDA (CF8385PN1 sounds right) would be:

192.168.1.1 - ip

255.255.255.0 - netmask

On your laptop:

192.168.1.2 - ip

255.255.255.0 - netmask

192.168.1.1 - gateway/router
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crirus:
PDACrirus is the adhoc connection I made on PDA. PDA connects to PC through USB. Laptop connects to PDA through wireless hoping to get internet.

I need RNDIS IP's first, why do I have two there, one to PC one to Wireless card?

Basically what I need is

IP/MASkGateway on PC, RNDIS (two), CF, maybe Laptop since I only get a IP and mask on that not gateway from PDA DHCP.

Could be my DHCP on PDA messed up and I should reinstall if ever possible?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
You have two because RNDIS binds to each network adapter...the wireless adapter and usb connection to your computer in your case. The one with the 169 address would be the usb to computer connection. That is how your PDA gets internet from your computer, so you cannot and do not need to change that IP address. You do that and you'll get no internet at all on your PDA or laptop. Your network connection between your computer and PDA are working if you have internet on your PDA. It is the connection between your PDA and laptop that you need to modify.

The settings I gave you should work if you try them, assuming you have a good ad-hoc connection between your PDA and laptop in the first place, which the reason I previously stated I did not think you did was because DHCP is not working, which is usually a tell-tale sign the network connection isn't working, because it broadcasts across the network and only does not work on a functional network in very rare, specific cases, which I highly doubt you are in...ie you would have to purposely have done something to prevent it.

A better question would be does your PDA allow both adapters to be active at the same time? It could be a device limitation.

To make this easier...give me all your adapters and their IP addresses on your PDA when you have a working internet connection on it and are running this program.

Palm Treo 800w

I'm trying to get this slick little application to do a basic WiFi tether to a laptop or iTouch. I'm running it on a Palm Treo 800w. The problem is that I'm not seeing my wifi adapter in the drop down list to choose from. There is no T or W connections. The only unknown option I've got is SDIO86861. I'm not sure what that is but I haven't been able to make it play nice. I saw that at least one other user has had this problem but never received a response on the thread. Does anyone know why a WiFi adapter wouldn't show on the list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Go to "Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters tab and take a look at the available interfaces on your device. SDIO86861 is, most probably, your WiFi card.

Just my 2 cents...

Cheers!

Carlos
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] plunk:
I'm thinking the SDIO entry may be the SD expansion slot on the device. In older Treo's you could get SDIO wifi cards but the 800w has a built in adapter. It's either a reference to the SDIO card slot or else they're using a similar driver set for the internal card it's just calling it SDIO.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Your phone is probably overheating. If you have the charger plugged in, it will eventually stop charging the battery too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] casouzaj:
No, man. It's your internal Wi-Fi card. Don't let its name trick you. You know, I have this same Marvell Wi-Fi card inside my Acer M900. I have an application on my device which checks the interface being used whislt data is connected, and whenever my device is connected to my WiFi router, guess which interface is displayed? Yes, exactly: SDIO86861!

Connecting to a Cradlepoint router with ICS Control

Complete network:

WAN: Cradlepoint CTR350 connected to USB HTC Alltel 6800 (ISP) Phone only used for Internet

LAN: Cradlepoint CTR350 connected to Gigabit switch supplies internet to household (Several PCs, NAS, and 2008 Server)

This worked like a champ until... Recently using the WM 6.1 integrated Internet Sharing will disconnect randomly, usually after 2-3 hours of use. Stating, "The remote party terminated your connection".. I was looking for a app that will automatically reconnect the network connection again once it was disconnected. (Instead of coming home, selecting OK, and tapping the connect button again)

Doing tons of research brought me here to the ICS Control. I setup my device:

1. Public Interface: Cellular Line

2. Private Interface: RNDISFN1

3. auto connect to network "Alltel Wireless"

4. Checked: DHCP Server, DNS Proxy, NAT Router, Packet Filter

5. All other options to default settings

If I login to the CTR350, it doesn't show any devices connected to the USB port on the router. Does this have anything to do with the device ID diffences between the integrated ICS and ICS Contol? Can I fix it? Or is there anyway to setup the integrated ICS to auto reconnect when disconnected? Thanks a million. I looked at wolf's discussion about the Linux RNDIS setup, and was curious. Any ideas?
