let me explain clearly , assuming , 1st computer connected to another computer , the first computer has internet connection , then second computer needs sharing, clues : first computer is a780 and second computer is pc. probably you might experience how to use usblan? my question is more related to networking with both pcs . any ideas?

Ok i think it should be possible.

What to do with phone

A.) Install LeoPPP you will need it to make a PPP connection over BT or USB.

B.) You need iptables on the phone look for mack connectivity pack. This is design for the other way so you need to reconfigure it. Look for "inet-bt" and there you need to make changes. So you dont need fake_gprs.o and fake_dsm. Set the route between ppp0 and gprsv0.


GPRS <--- PPP(BT/USB) [or USBLan]<---- PC

10.1.1.1 -> your gprsv0.

BT:
192.168.1.4 -> your ppp0 address on the phone.
192.168.1.3 -> your ppp0 address on the host.

USBlan:
169.254.142.2 -> your usb0 address on the phone.
169.254.142.1 -> your usb0 address on the host.

USB PPP never tried with Windows

C.) Configure Windows (example for BT):

1. A780 as BT serial port.

2. Install a null modem. Under Hardware - Modem: Communication between to computers. Set com port to the BT serial port from step 1.

3. Create a new network connection. Direkt connection to another PC. Choose device from step 2.

To check the routing on windows type route print to add a route type route add or better first route help.

So when the GPRS is up and connected and you set the routes correct it should work.

I will set this on my todo list and will try it out.

So i tried it with linux and it is working it will also work with windows. I used iptables and a routing script on phone.
I connect the phone to usb lan called the provider run script on phone. You only need a DNS and right gateway on your Windows/Linux thats it. If you are interested i can post a more detailed tutorial. I will also put my script to next ishare version.

It depends on your OS and if you want to connect over usb or bt. Look for MackConnectivity Pack.
Or use this package I made it for easy usage.
