Generaly I defined this as an ping problem but it's probably something different so I expect someone to explain it to me.
At first I started with an idea of making synchronisation (ActiveSync) over an wireless connection to my PC. As so I made an ISP connection (slow but it works) and was able to browse the internet. Thereafter I made an RAS connection to my computer but couldn't make ActiveSync connection. While trying to figure out where was the problem I discovered that when I tried to reach a destination machine (domain on the internet) I got proper DNS resolving (which means that there is an outbound communication) but ping returns "transmit failed: error code 11010". This happens using any type of connection (even while craddled). Afterward I've tried reversed situation and I pinged PocketPC (connected over RAS to my computer) and I got a response from it.
For some reason my PPC can't communicate with computers on the network although it's visible for them.
I've been trying to find a solution on the internet but no luck so far.
Idea... ?
Is everything else working except ping ? By getting a reply from the PPC when pinging from the PC you know that the IP stack is loaded properly on the PPC.
Have you tried doing a 'tracert' from the PPC to the PC ? If that works, then maybe there is something wrong with the ping.exe file ?
Good luck,
Rob.

The group is generally quiet on this one. I have a problem getting ActiveSync to work over a wireless network. The wireless network is otherwise faultless. Can browse the internet, transfer files between servers etc but cannot perform a sync to my laptop. The laptop is also faultless on the wireless network and Activesync works fine via the cradle. All firewalls and other clever stuff on the laptop disabled.
The symptoms are that a connection starts but never gets fully established. Then it all stops. I have recently performed a hard reset on the palmtop and rebuilt the image (for other reasons) but this problem has not changed as a result of this process.
I have filddled with setting the network settings to connection via the internet and from work but that doesn't seem to make much difference. I'm beginning to run out of ideas.
Any help most appreciated fellow globe dwellers!
Thanks

Hi AlliterationArtiste,
I had it working on a previous PocketPc, and I think that it was having the ip address for the pc that made the difference for me.
You PocketPc probably only knows the name of your pc, and if it can't get that name resolved to an ip address anywhere, you are sol.
What I did was install an app called Pocket Host. It acts like the local host file on a pc. I put my pc name and its ip in the app, and then it worked.
I have since switched to dhcp which ruins the solution...
here is a link from Handango:

Just a thought, and worth a try.

You're a wizard!! This worked perfectly.
The whole thing was made more interesting because I run vmware on my laptop and so there are several ip addresses that the machine can respond to. I used to sometimes get a connection but now thanks to your excellent suggestion I can a 100% reliable connection
Thankyou
I have searched everywhere (here and on other sites) and it seems like if I tell the activesync to pass through to the internet, I should have internet on my pda when connected via usb...
This is not happening! I went through all options and used a few troubleshooting things that nobody seems to mention (like ipconfig from the ppc msdos console) and I can't figure this out at all!
I am using a wallaby (siemens sx56) plugged into my laptop, which is wirelessly connected via home network into cable modem. I put every .exe file in the program files/activesync directory on the "pass through" list of the firewall.
When activesync connects, all looks normal unless I try to get online via ie (from the pocket pc). If I go to the ppc dos prompt and try ipconfig, it reads me back 192.168.55.101 as the ip address, and 192.168.55.100 as the gateway. These are not close to my network settings. It can't ping my laptop and my laptop can't ping the ppc using the above address.
What am I missing??? I am using xda-developers operating system and activesync 3.8 on my laptop. PLEASE HELP!!!!
ps. I am planning on getting a wireless card for the ppc - might I still have this problem when I try to connect using that too??
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
wallaby's SD interface dont support SDIO which are wifi and well everything but memory SD cards require
so getting wifi will not help you
activesync have some settings related to sharing the connection
so theres no way to get this thing online (except pay for cellular service or <supposedly> through usb cable)?
That sucks!
Anyway, as for the usb thing, I looked through activesync on my laptop and the only thing i could find is where it should connect to (internet or work). I tried both with no results. Is there anything I'm missing?

My searches on the web haven't yielded much help or information so I thought I would come to the experts...
I have a Treo 750 that I just "upgraded" to WM6 2 days ago. I noticed that DUN has gone away and was replaced by ICS. After configuring my laptop to use that instead of DUN I connected and was surfing the web. My problem now is VPN. I travel frequently (luckily I'm in the office until Jan.) and regularly used my phone to connect to the corporate network via VPN. I also work with a lot of other companies and have VPN access to their systems as well. Basically now I can open my Cisco VPN client, connect to a VPN gateway, authenticate, get assigned all the appropriate IP information, but cannot communicate on the network. What gives? Is there a solution to this? If not, what the heck was MS thinking when they did this!? My phone is basically useless for one of the major reasons I bought it...
Any help is appreciated!
thanks!
Ok, further searches found that DUN can be added back into WM6 via a cab that was posted here at the XDA forums. I installed it and the DUN service is now visible again. I unpaired by phone and laptop, re-paired, and included DUN. Now when I try to connect, I get the DUN connection box after the bluetooth connection is initiated but when I click DIAL I get the DIALING... prompt, followed by Error 678: The remote computer did not respond.
Anybody get this working on a Treo 750? Thoughts, ideas suggestions?
What is the ip address you are getting via the cisco vpn client
It maybe that it is in the same subnet as the ip address assigned to the pc from the wm6 ics. The ICS gives the address 192.168.0.1. and if your Cisco is also giving a 192.168 address then you will have two routes for the 192 address range thus giving you the problem when accessing hosts.
If this is the problem Im pretty sure you can change the address allocated via the ICS using a registry editor. If not you may be able to get work to use a different range for you on the cisco vpn.
Our corporate network is 172.x.x.x so it's nowhere near the 192.168.0.x assigned by the phone. When I look at the route in the VPN client I see 192.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0, and 172.0.0.0 so I am assuming 192 is my laptop, 10 is the phone, and 172 is the corporate network.
I'm guessing NATing is the problem. I've been reading that if I use a different APN (isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular) there is no NATing. I've tried both, and I've tried turning off and on the "force AT&T" proxy setting to no avail.
Tried the DUN cab hack that is floating around for WM6 also. The service is active again and I can also add Modem Link back in and my laptop sees my Treo as a modem but when I dial I get an error stating the remote computer did not respond. I'm guessing along with going from WM5 to WM6 AT&T also updated the radio so the old communications protocols don't work anymore?
Hello Sir,
I have exactly the same problem... I have successfully connected via VPN, however unable to communicate with any devices on that network... Then what is the use of VPN on the phone? I've tried searching online for answers, but no luck... People are having the same problem but no one knows how to solve it... I'll try and trouble shoot this problem more as soon as my exams are done...
Hi
Working successfully for me. I am using Imate jasjam wm6. Pc using cisco client connecting via ics on phone. I have telstra 3g connection tested ok on both telstra.internet (Nated ip) and telstra.extranet (real ip).
You are correct it may be an nat issue. Can you check that your transparent tunnelling is on as follows: right click on your connection entry in cisco client and select modify then transport tab. Check that enable transport tunneling is enabled ipsec over udp(Nat/pat).
The other thing to check is that the cisco vpn server aslo has transport over Nat on as well.
Also are you sure your corporate ip range is 172 or is that the range given by the cisco vpn to clients.
Transport tunneling is on (always was). I'll have to check with our network admin and check on the VPN server setting...I guess as long as I have connectivity back to the office, I don't need it that badly for all the customers I need to connect to at various times.
Yep, positive on the corporate IP. Right now it is 172.28.1.87 and I'm in the office.
Thanks for the help so far. Got any other suggestions on how I can troubleshoot further?
One other thought...should I modify the registry on the phone to assign a different IP address to my laptop? Would that help?
Same Problem
MX. I am having the exact same issue but with Securemote VPN. I've looked through the registry and found the assigned address, but I'm wary of changing anything until I can find some more information.
Anyone out there ever change the DHCP configuration for their phone?
Somewhat related question?
Im attempting to route my connection on my mobile through a laptop acting as a wan bridge, then uplinking it into the router. The issue Im having is that XP and WM6 both use the same IP Block. Ive read and read and cant find much to tell me how to change the WM6 IP BLock to something like 192.168.2.1 rather than the default 192.168.0.1
Does anyone have any pointers? Ive looked through the registry. There MUST be a simple way to change a default.
To clarify my setup, I am using ICS Via USB into a UMPC laptop running XP. The UMPC is set to share that same connection back out over Ethernet. The ethernet runs into my WAN Uplink on the router and then back out via wifi/rj-45
This setup works as I have done it using Wifi with other networks, and I can chose the "Lan3" to share under the advanced settings on the UMPC. The reason I dont just share out via Wifi from the start is that Wifi on my Kaiser and Raphael both make the device to hot to charge, thusly killing the battery within a couple hrs of sharing. If I share via USB , it stays pretty cool and still charges.
Anyone have any pointers?
I have already tried tricking XP into using the Lan on another block but as soon as you try to share the USB lan, it reverts back to the 192.168.0.1
The only way I can imagine is a registry modification or a program change in ICS.
Thanks Much!
I decided to start a new thread about this since the other one never got a response.
Have you guys tried this? I am not getting any connection at all unless I disable
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality, BUT once I disable it too just to, I get intermittent PC connections, sometimes it will connect, sometimes it wont with activsync giving me an error.
With it enabled, I see where the problem is, it cant seem to get a good IP address, please refer to pic below.
Help an1?
Possible solutions
First off a few questions. Since you say "ActiveSync" I assume you have a version of Windows XP (Pro or Home). The first thing to check when you try to connect your phone is to make sure you disable your firewall or to create a specific rule that will allow the OS to interact through the virtual network to your phone (in my case, Win XP and Outpost Firewall, I had to allow NetBios over this network and to allow all access for activesync software).
Now, the second thing:
The IP address does not matter that much. Either if it's 192.168.0.2 or the one you posted is the same thing. I have a TyTn and ActiveSync gives me a similar IP address to the one that you have, so it should work for you too.
You mention of an error. Is this an error on the PC in the classical sense (Message box with red X and only an OK button) or is it something that appears on the PDA? If it is the first case (PC error), please post a print screen of it so we may see what we are dealing with...
If it is the second case (error on PDA), the most common problem with Internet passthrough (via ActiveSync on USB Cable Connection) is this:
hxxp://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
On that page you can find a link to a .REG file that should be run on the PC. After that you should have a working Internet connection on your PDA (at least this was the case for me).
Sorry for the long reply, but your post was not very detailed.
Cheers,

Hello thanks for your reply,
I am using winxp Pro on my desktop and winxp home on my laptop. I cant get internet passthrough on both devices.
I use NOD antivirus and windows firewall. attached below is the exceptions rule activesync is included.
as for the error:
I only get the error on the PC if I have this disabled on the PPC
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
The error also does not happen all the time. But putting this error aside, it also gives me internet pass through. But because of the occasional errors, Id rather turn:
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
That on.
Ok heres the issue
Activesync 4.5 has a feature called desktop pass-through, wherein when i connect my ppc to it , it automatically bridges the ppc NIC to my machines NIC. This allows me to browse the net.
Although i can browse the Net but i am unable to ping sites on the internet/Lan via Activesync. When i do a ping google,com on my ppc i can see it getting resolved but no ping happening, Same true for other sites.
This has made me believe that Activesync has somethign built in that prevents anything except http/https and dns traffic to go out.
Anyone having experience in this ???
Whats the main problem you are having?
Not able to access a certain sit or not able to ping out?
As for my knowledge for windows vista, it works via ping.
I will check again if you want to.
I am able to browse sites but am not able to ping out. Heres the thing , i need to access a device on a port other than 80/443.
The only way i can do it is via active sync [no wifi, no gprs] . So when i try to ping the device / aceess it i cant.
I dont think Activesync will allow you to ping.
You can only use thru wifi only.
