Hi,
I hope I'm not repeating a question that's been asked a load of times already - but I've been searching for the solution, and can't find it...
When I use bluetooth to connect to activesync, the internet connection via the PC works fine for simple things such as email and telnet, but when I use pocket IE to access many web pages, I get an error message saying that it can't open the page. These are pages that it has no problem with when using gprs connection.
Any idea what's going on?
Cheers,
Phil
Have you enabled pass-through on activesync? Also change your settings in network connections/Advanced/select networks and change what the programs connect through. select your work network then when you sync it will open IE through your pc connection

I am trying to configure my XDA2 to connect to my PC and surf the internet via a BT connection. I can Sync via BT but when I try to set up my connection it keeps asking for a phone number despite me saying it is over a Bluetooth connection and my IP is broadband. Sorry if this has been asked but I did search for any info on this.

Why do you need to setup connection for since it's already connected with ActiveSync via BT? Basically once you get connection between your device & activeSync, that's all the step you did. Unless a firewall has stopped your device from accessing to the internet; if it's the case, create exception for your activeSync, and retry browsing with your device.
hope this helps.
regards.
thanks for yor reply, Each time I try to connect the the interneet on my device it keeps trying to connect via GPRS and not through my PC via BT....
Go to ActiveSync, open the options menu & go to Rules tab.
At the bottom, you will find Pass Through Conenction, make sure its set to The Internet and not Work

I'm having a similar problem and have effected the setting as above, however IE on my IIs says "the page you are looking for cannot be found". My computer connects fine and I have the same issue when trying to connect the device via WiLan, although I do connect to the network.
I've been trying to fiddle with the settings for a few days now but no success...anyone out there got any ideas.
Many thanks
I have mastered it now, I sync using BT on my device, leave it connetced, close Active sync on my XDA 11, Click on IE and the device connects through my PC, super duper.........
Thanks, this is what i am looking for now. I will try it
i can now only online with cable, not through Bluetooth connection
go into the advantage settings for connections
there you should be able to change the network back to my isp insted
of my network
bluetooth-internet
Hai...iam new here..i have got O2mini and would like to connect to internet via bluetooth...
i try using usb cable and activesync program to serve internet and its working.
...i succesfully connect my pc and ppc via bluetooth by using ppc activesync but when try connet to internet its still go to gprs..
pls help me...TQ
like i said again and again in this thread it's all about which network is picked in advantage settings under network connections in systems
I also tried to make a connection to the internet with activesync and usb. But with my mda doesn't work. iexplorer says the page you are looking for cannot be found. But my ppc says "connectivity the internet Pc connection". What are the settings on your ppc, so i can check?
Somebody help me.
test with ping
and maybe messenger to see if it's a dns issue
and if people use pocketplus they prob should make sure that it's not set to close insted of minimizing otherwise the connection would most likely be closed when they close activesync
Thank you very much. You solved my problem.

I used to be able to access the internet on my MDA Pro when connected to my laptop via activesync.
Now I can't!!!!
Could anyone tell me how to do this & the difference between work and internet settings?
Thanks
have you selected the pass through function in activesync?
work allows the use of VPN connections as it is expected to use names for the machines you are going to connect to. thus disallowing the use of "." in addresses.
internet allows the use of ".", but connecting a VPN connection is difficult over it. in order to use "." vpn connection addresses over the internet, you have to start placing exceptions in to the connections advanced section.
you should set it to Internet to allow the internet pass through feature.
hope it helps and is clear enough. if you need further clarification let me know. i just had to setup my wifes 2 days ago, and i can back track how i did it if necessary.
another question with same content.
use PC as a bridge for MDA (connected via BT or cable)
PC connected via proxy to the i-net.
on MDA the IE works fine, Opera doesn't.
any ideas??
greets, Ben
sorry dont use opera at all.
does it work with IE?
like I said before:
IE works fine
Opera not.
Hi guys!
Is it possible to surf the web with my Jam using the internet connection of my desktop pc (in office with lan connection and in house with dial-up!)?
Yes it is, you need to setup activesync over bluetooth however or activesync over Wifi with an add-in card.
There are a lot of guides around on how to do it with bluetooth!
Well!
With only the USB cable is not possible?
Yes it's possible with AS via USB. I've been doing it a long time ago. I don't really surf but I use it to update currency and weather in WorldMate Pro.
zerimar, can you explain me how can I do it please?
There's nothing special. As long as there's a working USB connection between the PPC and AS, open your browser and type in the url.
... not quite yet!
You have to go to connection settings within AS and set "this computer is connected with" to "internet"
then you can surf with your mdac via usb

I don't see what you mean coz I didn't need to do anything in AS Connection Settings.
Hello,
I dont think you need any extra settings to be done. Just have your PC connected to the net and Synchronize your device with active sync and open Pocket ie...Thats it i do!

Carty..
I know what he means cause i got the same problem, one of my 2 pc connections (one work one home) the work one has a corp lan proxy. ive got only one application that can connect thru the firewall which is Egress RSS reader.
is there anyway to give the proxy link plus username and password like you can in egress to the connection details on the phone or within activesync somewhere?
ive seen on other forums people asking the same thing.
PROBLEM SOLVED, APPEARS TO BE A NETWORK ISSUE
New question posted in second post.
I've searched the forums and the internet extensively without any help so here I am, asking for the community's help.
I can activesync just fine (ActiveSync 4.2) and am able to connect to the internet just as well from my Wizard via WiFi however I am unable to access the internet from my Wizard via ActiveSync passthrough.
I have selected "This computer is connected to the internet" in ActiveSync and, when viewing my network connections, I see the ActiveSync connection is in working order (IP address: 169.254.2.2).
I am unable to connect to the internet as well as my LAN because I tried pulling up my router's web interface in PIE only to receive this error:
"Unable to connect due to an unknown error [some crazy error number]."
I'm unable to connect to the internet with any application (tried sending email, updating pocket weather, egress, etc).
I've also uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync.
I haven't always had this problem and I can only think of two things I've done in the interim: I'm at a different house thus my desktop connects to a different network and I've installed (and subsiquently uninstalled) HitchHiker b.41.
Anyone have any ideas?
it is a network issue..
EDIT: I'm ridiculous.
After trying it out at work, I'm left to assume that the problem is a network issue (I'm able to connect at work).
This, however, brings me to a different question. I currently have four network connections set up: Blank, MEdia Net, My Work Network, My ISP. I have "Blank" set as the connection to use for both programs that connect automatically to the inernet as well as for those that connect automatically to my work network EDIT: this is my problem ... I had to set up "programs that connect to my work network ..." to use the work network connection (obvious?) I always assumed this meant programs that would only be accessing my work (I.E. a VPN client).. My question is that in order for me to connect to the internet from work, I have to add my proxy settings to the "Blank" connection. Adding them to the "My Work Network" connection does nothing. This leads me to believe that setting the "This computer connects to ..." dialog in ActiveSync accomplishes nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I'd like to connect using my work proxy while I'm at work and no proxy while I'm at home (is that too much to ask) but, apparently, selecting the appropriate value in the "This computer connects to" dialog in ActiveSync isn't enough.
Howdy,
I bought an HTC Touch a month ago to replace my iPaq 2490. Everything about it works great except for the desktop passthrough feature that lets me connect to the internet when cradled to my PC.
With my iPaq, I could plug it into the cradle, open up IE, and surf to any website with the desktop passthrough feature. I also had an application that would download RSS feeds to my device when connected. Both of these features no longer work. The error I get when trying to use IE to connect is this: "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again".
The funny thing about this is while connected to the cradle with the HTC, I can check my POP3 email accounts without any problem. It also connects and updates my weather plugin, so there is an active connection, it just doesn't seem to work through Internet Explorer. Anything that uses IE to connect to the internet fails.
I've downloaded the Opera Mobile browser and I am able to connect to any website when cradled. Unfortunately all the RSS programs I know of use IE and therefore still cannot connect to update my feeds.
I don't believe it's Activesync related because if I plug in my old iPaq, the desktop passthrough works perfectly. I don't know if there's some place on my HTC to tell IE to use my desktop passthrough connection or not... I can't find it anywhere.
I've done everything I've read from various posts on the net, such as:
- Changed connection type from "Automatic" to "Work Network"
- Added the AllowLSP registry setting recommended to fix a similar problem
- Tried it on Windows Vista with WMDC without any success.
- Tried it at home without any firewall
- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in the USB to PC setting on the device.
- Uninstalled Activesync 4.5 and reinstalled from scratch
- Done a hard reset of my device twice.
If I connect via GPRS or Wifi, I can use IE without any problems.
You guys are a lot smarter than I on these things so I thought I'd give it a shot and post to see if you've got any helpful advice.
Thanks,
-J
