How To: Using your 6700 as a USB modem for your computer.

[werewolf727]

Can someone please help me with this one? I have tried enabling & disabling NETBEUI on the client machine but to no avail. The only setting I could see that was different on this machine vs. my XP machine is that this one does not have anything to check under enable netbios over TCP/IP. The driver is properly installed, Activesync is off. The client computer even dials the modem in the phone, then this pops up. Sooo close.. help!

I get this weird error when installing the driver. Looks like everything is okay, then the XP Pro puter says: Windows cannot install the modem.

Then at the "Finish" screen of the add hardware wizard it says:

Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key.

Sounds like a registry issue, tried searching my registry but didn't find anything promising.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had a TON of trouble trying to get this to work on my phone. I ended up using the internet sharing app and it is 100% times easier to do and setup. I would just go that route and forget about the wmodem stuff.

When I try that (Internet sharing), it cannot find the drivers for:
"PocketPC USB Sync" when I plug in the data cable.
The ppc dials up fine, but my laptop seems like something is missing. I cannot get the New Hardware Wizard to finish properly.

Active Sync works.

Thanks for the help!

Did you try re-installing the latest version of active sync before trying the internet sharing? That solved my problem there as well, although I admittedly don't know why.

I got the drivers to install after the upgrade, thanks.

Still get a page not found, looks like a DNS problem.

Thanks.

SWEET! Got it working, because I use cricket for service I have to set the proxy in the desktop pc to wap.mycricket.com, then it works.

Thanks again!

Anybody got bluetooth pan working yet under internet sharing?

[Papagolf]

I was able to use BT PAN with my brother's MAC(he fell for the hype) and I can tether USB to my laptop and tablet using both wmodem and internet sharing. My Q is what is the difference between using the modem or IS? I speed tested both(tethered cause I dont want to kill my phone battery playing on the net) and they were about the same.... anyone else have any observations? BTW I'm still running AKU 3.5.1.0.4...

Is this true!!! I heard there is a way for Sprint PPC6700 users to use their PPC as a modem BUT (here's the interesting part) instead of using Sprint's network you can use Verizon's Broadband and not get charged for the Data!!! Any truth to this?
