Is it possible to connect to the net using a WM6 device and default OS?

[Guest Phil Lee]

After a brief flirtation with XP I have gone back to Xandros and am learning how to configure and use it. The big stumbling block I have at the moment is how to use my VIII to connect to the net. If I enable Internet Connection Sharing the EEE sees the HTC RNDIS under USB devices. I don't know what to do next and all the posts along a similar theme assume a lot of Linux knowledge. I have none. Can anyone point me to a set of detailed instructions on how to do this?

Alternatively is it possible to do this in another Linux distro? I have booted the EEE using an Ubuntu 7.10 live CD and thought about installing it to a USB flash drive. Is this a better solution?

Paul posted this link in reply to a similar question recently :

I use the program in the link for connecting to my Mokia Internet Tablet via WiFi on my VarioII, it's a whole lot faster and simpler than bluetooth / USB sharing, the application effectively turns your Windows Mobile Device into a wireless access point, then on the EEEPC it should be as simple as letting the device scan for WiFi hotspots and join one. :(

EDIT : I actually followed that link through to the one below and that's where I downloaded the nifty "WMWifiRouter v0.7" from ChainFires first post. :D

I'm back running XP and am able to connect my VIII with no problem at all.

Hi Phil,

Don't know whether you went back to Linux at all on your EEE, but if you did, there's a writeup here: (I have to confess, I wrote it!)

I hope this either works for you, or someone else with the same problem :D

Rgds,
