Oh finally got it working. I initially checked all the interface IP addresses and set them to server assigned. But the settings didn't seem to stick. After a few soft-resets it seems to be working now.

Thanks for the input.

Congratulations! I think it is still somewhat safe to keep using ICS Control the way we want, after all, because we all know how to get rid of what it leaves behind, now...:)

Cheers!

How to get Bluetooth PAN working

I saw a few post saying ICS Control did not work with Bluetooth PAN and wanted to post to say that I have this working. I'm typing this post from a netbook running Windows XP connected to my HTC Vogue through a BT PAN connection.

Here's what I needed to do (this should apply to most WM6 phones):

From WM:

1) Download the WM6BTPAN.EXE from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1571776 or directly from http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/wm6btpan.zip.

2) Extract the file to where ever you like, I put it under Program Files.

3) Launch WM6BTPAN.EXE (note: it give no feedback, but will be running)

4) Configure your WM "Bluetooth PAN Drive" to use a static address (Start -> Settings -> Network Cards). I used 192.168.0.1

5) Start ICS Control and configure the Private Interface as Bluetooh, BTPAN1 for me. I unchecked "Set Private IP" and set the address as 192.168.0.1. I also unchecked "DHCP Server" as I could not get DHCP to work.

From Windows XP:

1) Pair the devices and connect the PAN. Note: Make sure you are set up as a client, not a host (for Toshiba stack, it was unchecking "PAN Networking Service" under option). Note: If WM6BTPAN.EXE is not running on WM, you will get a connection denied error.

2) Modify the PAN adapter to use a static address and DNS. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. Open the "Bluetooth Person Area Network" device. You may need to change to the Details view and look under the "Device Name" column to determine which adapter to use. Once open, select Properties. In the window that opens, scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", click on it, and select Properties. Set a static address like this:

IP Address: 192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

Prefered DNS Server: 208.67.222.222

Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

The Default gateway should be the static address you set on WM. The DNS servers can be any public DNS servers (I prefer the ones at OpenDNS.com)/

3) Save the settings.

4) Test the connection. Open a browser and go.

Some troubleshooting steps:

1) If browsing doesn't work, make sure the phone's data connection is active.

2) Verify the PAN is active by pinging the phone IP address from a command prompt. Start -> Run -> CMD.EXE -> PING 192.168.0.1

3) If you can ping the phone, try pinging your DNS server. If that doesn't work, try pinging your phone's external IP Address (you should see this under ICS Control if you refresh and click on the drop down for Public Interface, it should be after Cellular Line).

4) If you can't ping the Cellular Line, then ICS Control probably is not active. I've had to click Start ICS multiple times for it to work.

5) If you can ping the Cellular Line, then most likely your DNS settings are not correct. If you used something other than the one in the example above, give these a try.

5) If it's still not working, I'm out of suggestions.

Good luck.

Problem with utility

I was trying this program the other night and had no luck with it. I am using my wifes phone on metropcs and I got the internet working but the problem is with the internet connection sharing. I can connect the cell phone to the computer and they see each other on the network via USB or blue tooth and the cellphone connects to the metropcs data network fine. But as soon as I try and get it to pass the information along to the computer there is a disconnect. I was trying to solve it by using this program but I click the button to start running and nothing happens, no error, no nothing. I have looked through the registry but I don't see what could be causing this. This is on a mp6900sp with the updated sprint rom flashed to it from the HTC website. Is there a file that enables the internet sharing to work that I need to install?:confused:WM6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
It doesn't give you any visual feedback that it's running. Just know when you press start or stop, or whatever, that it does it. So if the computer and phone see each other, you want your private interface in ICS control to be whatever network connection you are using between the computer and phone (wireless, usb, etc.) and the public interface should be the cellular internet connection. Establish the network connection between the computer and phone first, then start ics control.

Is any one currently working on this development?

How does v.21 compare to wmwifirouter's v.1.35?

Any customized updates on the UI?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
No.

It's free.

And no.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reekotubbs:
Thanks, the first and last answer were what I was looking for but for the second question I was looking for details.

Does anyone have a comparison of what ICScontrol can do compared to what wmwifirouter can do. Besides being free

Specifically can ICSControl connect to a wireless router to share internet connection like wmwifirouter (link found here)

If so has any one had success doing this?

"double post"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjlwork:
If I recall correctly i did this last summer, create a wifi connection from your phone to your router instead of doing an adhoc one, then on your router disable the dns and set your phone's ip address as the gateway for the router, (make sure your router and ip address for icscontrol are not the same). Now your wifi router will use your phone as its internet gateway and your phone will also give out ip adresses as long as dns is enabled in ics control. Remember it was a year ago i did this so instructions may not be 100%, but that is how i remember it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reekotubbs:
Thanks for the info. I will try this out.

And I did find a comparison chart in this forum located here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
I think this will work, in theory it sounds right. One other idea I would try if it doesn't. Still establish the connection wireless connection between your phone and your router. Disable NAT on your router, so it is basically functioning as an access point. Your phone should still serve DHCP requests. If it does not, you can enable DHCP on your router, and if it allows you to edit the scope options, (most do) change the gateway and dns settings to use your phone IP address instead of your router.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DWC316:
ok, i followed instructions and place the .exe file in the programs list and ran it and it came up perfectly but when i click on start ics it does nothing. need help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
It doesn't provide any visual feedback. So you are just going to have to try it out and then provide more details about your setup if it doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjlwork:
Yes, and one place to check if you have ICSControl acting as the DNS server is to check the DNS in ICSControl, it should show the IP address it gave your computersin there, that way you at least know the wifi and dns part of it is working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reekotubbs:
Check out post #238, it help me out with running ICS Control. After setup, I recommend either toggling your wifi adapter on then off, or soft resetting your phone.

One thing to look out for is if you let your screen turn black you will loose connectivity and will need to reset devices that were connected to ICS Control.

Any body knows how to reverse engineer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wg5566:
Besides that, are you sure you have the 'ipnat.dll' file in windows folder?

If not, go one page back find the dl link for icsinstal.cab & install it.

NAT driver

When I try to use the ICS file, I receive a message that reads, "FATAL: NAT driver not found." Please advise. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wg5566:
Please read the first post & last post before yours on the thread.

Better read more carefully the first several pages & the last several pages (at least), and be sure backup everything before try this. If you messed up the conection settings, maybe the only fast solution is a hard reset, for not-very experienced users. But if you already master ICScontrol, probably will not leave it again.

ICSControl is 'for advanced users'.

Edit: Do not feear of that also, the result of messing up the settings is just can not access internet, will not lost data. But if you already run spb backup or sprite backup before try it out. Just do a hard reset, then restore the backuped data and everything will be recovered.

What have you done? What type of problem are you having? If you want help, you have to help yourself first by at least providing details about what you are having trouble with first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guilleglad:
ok sorry about that, well here is the whole picture...

START ICS

...so i start mi laptop, the wlan i created is always not connected, the ics is running, the wifi is up, but i can't get connected :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
It doesn't sound like you created an ad-hoc connection between your laptop and phone first, which is needed if you want to do ics wirelessly. Also, your public interface should be cellular line.

Edit: Unless you want to use your phone as a wireless router and AP, which I'm not sure if this program will support multiple wireless clients. You'd be better off pickup up a cheap AP in that case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guilleglad:
thanks for your help, by the way the adhoc connection is created because i did it to make wmwifirouter works, and the public interface is not cellular line because in fact i want to use my phone as a wireless router, i don't care if it can't support multiple wireless clients, i just want one connection using the adhoc wlan between my laptop and the phone. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
And you phone is able to browse the internet on the dsl connection? Do you at least get an IP on your laptop from your phone?

Also, since you have auto connect set to work, is that the connection between your phone and dsl in your connection settings? If your computer is getting an IP address, I would think it would be the auto-connection selection at a glance...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guilleglad:
man, ics dhcp is working fine because my laptop has the ip 192.168.2.132 and the phone has 192.168.2.1, the problem now is the adsl connection, it should be shared through my windows xp but the connection is not there.

On wmwifirouter it created by itself a new connection called HTC Mobile, so i went to my ADSL and activated the Internet Sharing and it was just what i had to do.

But on ICS it gets connected by activesync, letting me surf the web just in my phone but the network is privated and the icon is not showed on my windows xp connections :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sp1kez:
How can settings be put back to normal??

Ever since I used icscontrol I get gateway 504 error and cant use internet, but email and activesync work

I have done hard resets to no avail
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silenthatred:
Ahhh, active sync. I've never used the program though active sync before. I'm guessing it's the selection of your public interface. Maybe you have the wrong one selected?

If you hard reset, ICS control would not longer be setup on your phone. At least its configuration wouldn't be. Hard reset would reset your phone to what it was when you bought it, or the ROM to the first install date if you aren't using the stock one.

GPRS failed working after installing ICSControl

Hi,

In my quest for tethering my HTC touch to my macbook (or is it the otherway around... ) I stumbled onto this promissing little app. As instructed, I put it in place and changed some of the first settings and saved the config and ran the app. Hoping for some quick result. When I did not get any, I stopped ICSControl to go online with the touch (I have T-mobile web&walk). The phone (it runs a specially cooked touchflow version of windows mobile 6.1, downloaded from xdadeveloppers a while ago) indicated GPRS connection but opera (or any other internet browser) failed with the message "could not locate remote server" also other services over GPRS are not working anymore.

I looked at all the settings in the connection settings set them to:

Cellular Line (GPRS)

access point name: internet

User Name: tmobile

Password: tmobile

Without any result... I have the feeling ICSControl changed some other setting disabling GPRS. :confused:

I also ran connection setup without any result....

Any help would be much apreaciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] larsdennert:
You guys are trying too many things without making sure the basics work. Then you are mixing wmwifirouter at the same time. God help you.

Decide icscontrol or wmwifirouter and don't install both.

Set the ip's in the adapters back to automatic from 192.168.2.1. Then make sure everything works again. restart in between too.

try icsinstall.cab by itself and see if you can tether via usb then move on to advanced wifi tethering.

This isn't a beginner program and you can render your internet inoperable on your phone if you make a mistake.

Problem with ICS Control 2.1

I am using a Kaiser with Shifu rom v2.1 (Windows Mobile 6.5)

It has .Net Compact Framework 3.5 installed.

It also has the IPNAT.dll file installed.

I run the EXE and fill-in the suggested information, then click "Start ICS", nothing seems to happen. I see no changes on the screen. I check from my Dell laptop and cannot see any new wireless networks.

Anyone have an idea of what I should try? Am I doing something wrong?

For public interface, I pick "Cellular Line".

For private interface, I pick "TNETW12511". I believe this is my wifi.

I checked "Auto Connect to Network" and picked "The Internet" in the drop-down.

I would appreciate it if someone has ideas.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nunim:
Do you need ActiveSync installed for Ev-DO to USB to work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lysdexical:
I'm not sure, but it may depend on the "Enabled advanced network functionality" setting under settings->communications->usb to pc on the PDA. If that box is checked, then even without activesync installed I think the the PDA may show up on the PC as a USB network adapter, and then sharing EVDO to USB to work. This is just speculation though.
