[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DJGurth:
Hello This guide is made up from the knowledge i have build up from advice given on XDA and information on other sites.

I have found this very useful in my home and hope you do to.

First off, this guide explains everything you need to do to use your diamond as the access point to the internet at home for all devices. (PC's, PS3, XBOX360, Wii)

It is highly recommended that you have a unlimited data allowance!!!!! Otherwise you could have a hefty bill at the end of the month.

Right what you will need :

A Diamond with an unlimited data allowance tariff,

A WiFi router (i have used an old router that was installed with Tiscali BB)

WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (please find this your self i will not provide it)

and some basic knowledge of networking on PC's and your devices.

Thats it. Please don't be put off by the networking side of things its really easy to do.

Right first off we need to get your diamond taking to your router.

switch on your router and let it do its thing for 2-4 mins

Connect your diamond to the wifi router by switching on your wifi in settings, communications on touchflow, when prompted, connect to your router and enter your network key.

THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS AS CONNECTING TO A WIFI HOTSPOT.

Its that simple.

Next switch off your wifi in settings, communications.

Install WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (Simple and stable)

once installed open WMWifiRouter and press connect.

This should then setup your phone to be used as a access point and connect to your wireless network all at once.

Once it says connected you can turn off your phones main screen by pressing the off switch at the top and put your phone where there is best signal! HSDPA is needed to get up 7.2mbps (little H in signal area)

Right now you need to setup your laptop or device to talk to the phone via your router!

So here are the settings you need to setup in either TCP/IP (manual connection) or a manual connection on your device (PS3, Wii, XBOX360).

I will use a laptops connection as a example because all you need to do is to copy the settings to another device using a different IP address.

If you use wifi or a hardwired connection, right click the telly with the wifi connection in the bottom right of the screen and click open network connections (XP only dont know for vista), Or if the telly is not displayed in the bottom righthand cornner of the task bar then click start, control panel, network connections.

Click on the connection you wish to use i.e local area connection or wireless network connection (you can setup both connections by repeating these steps on each connection)

this should bring up a general tab of this connection, click properties.

This will bring up another box with the network properties, all you need to do is manually enter your IP settings and DNS settings so double click on "internet protocol [TCP/IP]"

Another box appears.

Click "use the following IP address"

In IP address type "192.168.0.xxx" xxx being the unique 3 digit code of your choice, write this down for your firewall settings on other devices if you run a networked drive etc. Each new device will need its own unique 3 digit code ie PC = 192.168.0.100, XBOX360 = 192.168.0.200, Wii = 192.168.0.123 etc.

In Subnet mask type "255.255.255.0"

In Default gate way type "192.168.0.1

Now click "Use the following DNS server address"

In preferred DNS server type "192.168.0.1"

Thats it, press ok and ok on any other boxes still left open.

Your network device will rest your IP and DNS settings to the ones you have just entered, thus allowing you computer to access the mobiles phones internet connection via your router

On all your devices Manually setup all your connections using these settings and they will all use your mobile phone to connect to the internet.

Using DHCP to configure your network is not advised as its unreliable at finding your phones connection.

Now if you want to start using your phone as a phone again, open up WMWifiRouter again if its not already and click options Quit.

To get internet access on other devices via your phone again all you need to do is to start WMWifiRouter and press connect. Start using the internet!!!

If you wish to use your laptop on another hotspot, you will need to reset the TCP/IP settings back to automatic, otherwise it will not work.

Using this process sometimes causes the phone to disable its own internet connection, so a soft reset after exiting WMWifiRouter is recommended.

Have fun, im sorry if its all a little messy but i have never been very good at writing these guides.

If any modd wants to add or edit this post then please feel free. any persons wanting to add to this guide please do so.

Yes i know you can connect your phone to your laptop by USB, Bluetooth, but this method allows multiple devices to use the same phone to access the internet at the same time and via a access point at the highest possible speed, so games consoles can use it!!! Brilliant if you get a good HSDPA signal and live in the country.

Oh one last thing! if you are a youngster and wish to try this, please do so on other equipment, don't use your family's main router and laptop or PC unless its no longer in use!!!

Thank You
