Internet sharing

Internet sharing connects a computer to the Internet by using your phone's mobile
connection. Your phone then functions as a modem. You can use a USB cable or a
Bluetooth™ link to connect to the computer. To use your phone as a USB modem, you
can use the USB cable that comes with your phone.
Before using Internet sharing, disconnect from Windows Mobile® Device Center or Microsoft®
ActiveSync® on the computer. Also check that your phone has a GPRS or phone dial-up modem
connection.
Before you can use your phone as a USB modem you need to set up Windows Mobile® Device
Center (part of Microsoft® Windows Vista®) or Microsoft® ActiveSync® (for Microsoft®
Windows® XP) version 4.5 or later on the computer.
To set up your phone as a USB modem
1 Tap > Internet Sharing.
2 In the PC Connection list, select USB.
3 In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your phone
uses to connect to the Internet.
4
Connect the USB cable between your phone and the computer.
5 Tap Connect.
Using your phone as a Bluetooth™ modem
You can connect your phone to a computer using a Bluetooth™ link and use the phone
as a modem for the computer. For a computer to use the Internet connection of your phone,
you must activate Internet Sharing in your phone, then set up a Bluetooth™ Personal Area
Network (PAN) between the computer and your phone.
If there is no built-in Bluetooth™ capability in the computer, you need to connect a Bluetooth™
adapter or dongle.
To activate Internet Sharing and set up a PAN
1 Phone: Turn on Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone and set it to visible.
2 Create a Bluetooth™ partnership from your phone to a computer.
3 Tap > Internet Sharing.
4 In the PC Connection list, select Bluetooth PAN.
5 In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection your phone uses
to connect to the Internet.
6
Tap Connect.
7 Computer: From your computer's Bluetooth application interface, connect to the
Bluetooth personal area network (PAN).
8 Phone: On the Internet Sharing screen, check Status to verify that the computer
has been successfully connected to the Internet using your phone as a Bluetooth™
modem.
For more information on how to connect to a Bluetooth™ personal area network (PAN) from your
computer, see the documentation of your computer or Bluetooth™ software.
