Janand – Not with ICS, as far as I know. But if you have a hardline internet connection on your computer and a wireless card too, you could bridge the two connections and set up the wireless card as an ad hoc AP. Then connect your phone (assuming it has wifi) to the AP.

Or for many Windows Mobile phones you can simply plug a USB cable into the computer and phone and ActiveSync will provide internet access automatically, but of course this is a hardwired connection which is not very satisfying..

is there any other way to reverse it. Like any other way to configure the pc as host and phone as a client. So that i can access the internet on my phone.

Are there any further details on how a connection have to look like when ICS is working? Something like ipconfig /all.

I did the things above and I have the feeling its gets me a step further, but I still cannot manage to use ICS via bluetooth. This is realy bothering me, because it works great via USB and the bluetooth connection works fine too. Just not the ICS AND bluetooth. :/

PerryBC: Which problem are you having? Since you’re not running on a Windows mobile phone, things are going to be somewhat different – I don’t know much about Symbian except that a lot of people really like it.

I can say that if you’re getting an error on your Widcom stack on your Windows XP PC, you’re probably running into a similar problem which is that the PC has configured as a host for internet sharing as well as a client.

You probably want the PC to be a client only, so you have to figure out how to turn off Internet Sharing/Hosting on the PC. I describe in the original post how to do that – and I think I’m also using the Widcom stack so the UI should be similar or the same for you. Does this help?

Thanks for your response. However, do you know how to resolve this same problem with a Sony Ericsson P1i which is running in Symbian UIQ OS? I’m really getting frustrated, even considering replacing the phone.
