actually, using ICS(internet connection sharing) is more simple.

my problem is that i already have the internet connection shared to another computer, how do i share it to both, the computer and the phone ?

I’ve followed your guide, but my phone (K850) won’t connect to the internet.
i’m using my office’s internet connection and it has a proxy server. could this be the problem?
if so, how can i change the proxy settings in the phone?

I have followed all the steps perfectly with XP SP2 and my k850i. It still tries to load up the phones internet?

I have also noticed that the “Sony Ericsson Device 117 USB” also says “Network cable unplugged” in the Network Connections. Any ideas where I am going wrong?

well, i finally succeded!

1. you have to share your main internet connection (i’ve tried it on dedicated IP, later i’ll try it on LAN internal IP address) on the “advanced” tab of your internet options (check both checkboxes)

2. goto your A200’s ethernet emulation properties (Sony Erisccon device 117 USB Ethernet Emulation) and uncheck all boxes except “client for microsoft networks” and “tcp/ip protocol”

3. nevertheless my XP didn’t show me screens mentioned in your p.4

but now it finally works!!!

tomorrow i’ll try this at work with K750’s USB cable and internal computer’s IP (192.168.xxx.xxx)

oops… my XP doesn’t show me screens #2 and don’t asks for the second LAN connection (where you are pointing to SE LAN)…

maybe my PC must have a direct IP or smth like this for your howto to work properly???

If this guide is wrong, is there another way to use desktop internet on k530i via bluetooth (or cable)?

Sorry, that wouldn’t be possible to do with this guide.

Hi guys,

I’m a owner of k530i and I spent a lot of time trying to get internet from PC (with USB cable).
Unfortunately, without success!
Of coarse, the main idea is to use the bluetooth for such internet connection.
Connection proxy and Device Explorer are installed on the PC. WebViewer java application is installed in the phone.

Have I any chance to get success? Pls, help!

No, it still won’t work.
