Internet Connection Sharing with your laptop

Internet Connection Sharing with your laptop:

While travelling with a laptop an internet connection can be very desirable. By using your Windows Mobile Phone as a access point, you can connect easily to the internet using GPRS or your regular internet service provider. It provides an easy way of sharing your internet connection with your laptop (also known as tethering) while the device still is capable of retrieving its own e-mail and RSS feeds.

This functionality was introduced with Windows Mobile 5 AKU3. Devices with older versions of the operating system depend on dial-up networking, which also works great.

The way you connect to a device has changed quite a bit across desktop operating systems. We have manuals for sharing your internet connection with the following operating systems:

• Bluetooth on Microsoft Windows XP,
• Bluetooth on Microsoft Windows Vista
• USB on Microsoft Windows
• USB on Linux
