Activesync - Internet - 3G

[Guest myth_au]

Hi Guys,

I have internet enabled with my carrier, ie i can use internet wherever on 3G.

I also have internet on the desktop at home and at work and my omnia is synced to those desktop by activesync.

If i connect the omnia to the computer and use activesync and say i want to browse for something on my omnia or update the pda, which internet connection is used (the 3G or the internet on the desktop).

I've always been curious as to which internet is used.

Secondly, when i'm out and about using my laptop (which has no internet) and i connect the omnia can i share the 3G internet from the omnia with the laptop.

thanks

the internet connection with a computer, ie when the omnia is connected to a computer that has an internet connection, is done via activesync, and it superceeds all other connections.

meaning that when u connect ur phone to the computer ( which is already connected to the internet eg ur desktop) it will only use the ADSL that u have for the computer.

when u go wireless, ie using the wifi, it superceeds the 3G connection. and if u have wifi turned off and the omnia is not connected to any other device, it will use the 3G connection for internet browsing. i think that windows mobile is made to always prioritize the fastest connection to the device ADSL via USB (activesync)-Wifi-3G

it is possible to use the omnia as a modem, like u asked that if u connect it to ur laptop and try to use the 3G internet, u have to look in settings or programs and find internet sharing i think, not sure exactly where to find this because i never really use it actually, but i read that for sure u can use the omnia as a modem to gain internet access.

hope this helps
