I used to use the Internet Sharing link in the \Windows directory of my old BJ1 to connect my laptop to the internet. Now I tried it with my new BJII and I get an error saying "Unable to open the file. The system returned the error: 'File not Found.'" Is internet sharing not available in the BJII?

I didn't even try doing anything from the computer yet. Normally I would have expected the Internet Sharing UI to come up on the phone -- but it didn't. -------------------- |

Internet sharing (ICS) is disabled in BJ2. I have tried everything possible that was suggested on the internet but no success
 . I got the exe files (IntShrUI.exe, intshare.dll) from one the forums and made several registry changes but all ended in no go  .I am waiting for Paul to crack that one. Thats the ultimate thing on BJ2 that everyone is probably waiting for. |

They claim that even with the BJ I, Internet Sharing was not supported and that you needed a laptop connect plan. I told them that this was working on the BJI why should it now work on the BJ II and their response was that it was never supported and if it worked with the BJ I it was my good luck. Off course I know this all baloney corporate ATT speak - question is though - I dont think this is a Samsung thing correct. Its an ATT thing and one of the things I hate about cell phones in the US, is that the Telco/ISP supplies the phone. That way they can tweak the phone and take things out even if the manufacturer orginally included them. I doubt internet sharing would put that much of a strain on the ATT 3G network even though I realize that its more data - i think these guys want their pound of flesh and want to charge for it. My usage on internet sharing used to be casual and it helped when I was in places where i could not get a hotspot connection. Looks like this is no longer available on the BJ II unless it can be cracked somehow |

Someone (verks27) on AT&T forums figured out how to use BJ2 with DUN today. You will need a dataplan atleast (optional tethering option) to connect.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/m...id=46773#M46773 I got a 240K connection speed and it was pretty decent. Tomorrow I am going to attempt to connect another PC to my PC using this DUN connection using the PC ICS and see if I can create a network. |

Has anyone done anything else to try to get the Internet Sharing application to work? The DUN solution is pretty laborious. I miss the old 'Connect' one button hitting that was convenient and easy. I really don't want to take this phone back over something like that.

My looking around on the internet has come across these two links:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa917146.aspx - Default ICS Registry Settings http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921093.aspx - IPv4/6 Registry Settings I'm more than confident a lot of these registry files are flat out -missing- from the BJII, only I have no prior experience of getting this far involved in stuff like this to really know. If someone more knowledgeable could look at this, that'd be awesome. UPDATE1: Quick heads up. I found a folder called ConnectionSharing in the BJI Registry that wasn't in the BJII, so I'm going to try to copy that over and what happens.

Adding ConnectionSharing and all its related Keys and Values is not working. I have spent hours on that and someone else on the ATT forums has already gone thru that excercise as well. I am stuck with one thing and that is IPNAT.DLL. In the HKLM\HARDWARE section, there is list of Drivers that get loaded. I got the IPNAT.DLL for WM6 but I dont know the registry entries. ConnectionSharing is using this DLL but my theory is, if it is not getting loaded, it is not working. Can someone with BJ1 check the HKLM\Hardware for the IPNAT.DLL ? |

I think it may be something about the #42, or #43 in the active list. If you haven't looked there, give that a try. Those numbers are there in the BJI, but not the BJII. The stuff in there from what I can tell is comm stuff related.

Looks like this is no longer available on the BJ II unless it can be cracked somehow Can you give a quick sequence on how to get bluetooth ICS working with the BJII? I cant get it to work with either my vista or XP box. The bluetooth PAN adaptor shows up and if I doubleclick it I see my BJII showing as offering that service. But if I doubleclick to connect to it, it fails with "The connection with the Bluetooth network device failed. The device may already be connected to another computer, or it may need to be configured to accept connections from this computer. Consult your device documentation for further information." |
