There is no “Internet Sharing application” under “Programs”

I have a green box when I connect my Moto Q9h.
Which self installed when I connected my MOTO Q9h.

I also have a little green icon I have never seen, but
it does look like the Sync thing, as its the only logical thing.
because when I connect my phone, it turns and brightens up.

Also This picture shows that I am not connected, because I am actually not,
this is just so you
can see and view my Windows Mobile Device Center Window - Pictures.

There is also no way of finding out which version I have as I have look every where.

these are my pictures:

I currently use my MOTO Q9h on ( Windows-XP ) and it works like a charm with no problems at all.
its only happening on VISTA x64.
Reason why I have x64 of Vista is because I have 8 gigs of DDR-Ram,
running AMD Phenom x64 system.

Thank you for having this helpful website to help people.
even though it might not seem like it, but it actually helps people.
so thank you in advance., keep up the great work.

Best Regards,
Dr. Foster

I wouldn’t give up right away. It sounds like your computer isn’t actually connected at all, and homepage is just cached in your browser. To really try this theory out open up the browser on your homepage and hold down the CTRL key and then press F5. This will force a refresh, if you don’t get anything back this means your computer isn’t connected. Somethings to true are the following: Turn off your wireless card, most laptops have a button on the laptop for this. Make sure you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx. Then do a Windows Update. Try connecting again. If that fails play with the settings in the Windows Mobile Device Center, I know that you can disable Internet Sharing through the mobile device, so maybe it is disabled.

Let me know what you turn up.

I just had a question. I’ve been using my ppc with windows mobile 6 as a modem with my older pc exactly how it was described in the blog. I just “upgraded” my laptop to vista and I downloaded the proper software to allow activesync and all that but I can now only access my homepage and then it disconnects. My status still says connected on my phone. Can you explain to me what I can do to my pc or my phone to get internet? Im seriously contemplating returning my brand new laptop and downgrading back to xp.

It does not work for me. When I connect the USB cable to the PC the PC says “acquiring network address” and eventually times out.

How To: Connect To Cell Phone Internet Though Windows Vista…

Microsoft Windows Vista has replaced the old clunky ActiveSync with Mobile Device Center. On my Windows XP pro laptop I had to install drivers for my Windows Mobile 5 device, then the latest version of ActiveSync, which usually worked. When I upgraded …
