unable to browse after enabling internet sharing.
Dec 10 2007, 12:01 PM EST
I have followed the exact steps for my HTC P3300.The internet sharing is enabled and my HTC is connected to Internet over GPRS. My laptop is connect to HTC over USB. But despite this, I am unable to browse from my laptop. When checked, I can see that my laptop gets IP from HTC & I am able to ping, but no luck to browse. Any IDEA???

"I have followed the exact steps for my HTC P3300.Did you check your PC's Internet Explorer options? LAN settings?Proxy Settings? Mine works if I disable all of the above. |

Make sure your internal wireless card is disabled, if not it will try to log on that connection. I have been using ISC for a while and it works like a charm. Just make sure that wireless card is disabled. Good luck

"I have followed the exact steps for my HTC P3300.Have you checked in your device manager to see if the device is listed as a network adapter? It may be that Activesync hasn't installed the WceIS.inf properly. I have encountered this problem without any resolve. Nobody seems to be able to help me... |

Make sure that you disable activesync. On activesync go to file-connection settings-uncheck allow USB connections.

Make sure that any other network connections are disabled (NIC and/or wireless).

There's something wrong with internet sharing because it seems to start ok, connects to GPRS or 3G, but laptop can't browse. It also correctly automatically disables activesync, but still no connection to internet from laptop. |

I noticed that no "Default Gateway" is configured for the Internet Connection Sharing on the PC. Do you have it set? Cold you describe what the solution was? Thanks. |

"go to IE tools/internet options/connections/lan setings--uncheck proxy setting ...and check automaticaly detect settings..it will work"I had the same issue when I tried to setup ICS on my ATT/Tilt, It connected to my laptop via bluetooth and assigned an ip address. However I was not able to browse from my laptop. If you change the IE settings on your laptop to automatically detect settings, this will correct the problem. Note however that it may take a few minutes for the laptop to actually detect and configure IE. When I first tried this I thought that it did not work, since I still could not browse, then 15 minutes later it started working fine. |

I had some problems for a while and I figured it out eventually. You have to disable active sync, you have to stop any data sessions you currently have going, and not have the laptop connected to any wireless networks. Then you should be able to connect to the internet with the laptop.
