Best I can tell, and I hope I'm wrong I really do, is you can not use your home wifi > Blackberry > pc
Just simply does not work that way.
Not doable. The PC is using the BB as a modem connected to carrier. Fact that the BB is still connected to home wifi is meaningless. **This is why you get a different IP then the one you are using at home. Because you are not using the home wifi, that's all
Please correct me, I really wanted this to work. But it wont. And the more I dig into it, the more it becomes clear the hardware will not function this way. Again, I think you cats are just seeing what you want to. You are in fact using your data plan, not home wifi :(
The only possibility is that the bandwidth is being shared between the carriers 3g and the wifi. And I don't believe that's possible with the hardware either. But maybe....
If someone with a bigger brain can chime in and prove me wrong I would truly dig that. Pretty sure I just wasted my day trying to turn coal into a diamond
I'm ok with having to use the carriers data plan, sure. But the dream of using the blackberry to tap into home network and get fresh IPs is just a fantasy....
