My question is very simple: is there a method or program to do a ping or to check the network conectivity and response time from a XDA-II device?
:roll:
Thanks in advance
there are versions of ping and Tracert for pocketpc

You can also use vxUtil which is freeware and has quite a lot of functions.

Hallo,
I've searched for a long time in the forum and in Internet but I was not able to find how to access a shared folder on my :shock: LAN. It seems I have to use pass-through connections but I'm not able to make it work. Every time I use pocket file explorer to open a shared folder (writing the complete UNC) I receive the message "the network path was not found" and then "network resource cannot be found .....".
My LAN is a 192.168.1.X network and I've seen that IP assigned to the PPC is 192.168.55.101
Thank for every help.
Rudy
I'm not sure.
But have you tried localhost????

I've tried from pocket file explorer both \\localhost and \\127.0.0.1 but I've received always the same messages.

Tryed Pocket LAN yet?
It works
I have been trying to do this for months and pocket Lan works perfectly
There is a freeware network utility, named vxUtil.
Maybe this tool help you to solve the problem.
Utilities include:
DNS Audit
DNS Lookup
Finger
Get HTML
Info
IP Subnet Calculator
Password Generator
Ping
Ping Sweep
Port Scanner
Quote
Time Service
Trace Route
Wake On LAN
Whois
vxUtil (Personal) operates on all Windows CE-based Handheld, Handheld Pro, Palm-size and Pocket PCs and requires Windows CE 2.0 (or later).

I've truid both pocket lan and vxUtil with no results. I can't ping the laptop. I think I could never ping it if the network segment of PPC and laptop are different. Laptop ip now is 10.0.0.8 and PPC always 192.168.55.101. Perhaps I should enabled a proxy on the PPC to route the ping.

do you have a personal firewall installed on laptop? try to disable and check
I have no firewall installed or active.
I was successfull in accessing the LAN using the software "pocket LAN CE", but this is obvious thus it installs a server software that stays resident in the tray bar of the deskop PC.
There must be a solution to access the LAN using only active sync!
As far as I know that's not possible without a LAN card.
The passthrough which is available via activesync works only for internet connections.
I might be wrong. Keep looking. Have done it for a long time an gave it up.
If you find a solution feel free to share at this forum.

How about LAN over Bluetooth?
LAN over bluetooth
And how do we accomplish this with the XDA II while the XDA II has no profile for LAN over bluetooth.
Please share the info you've.
Because this is interesting to me too!
For me too I'm also trying bluetooth over XDA but aint working yet
:?
I have installed bluetoothGPS.zip file (found in this forum) and then I installed the Bluesoleil Bluetooth Software for the PC (evaluation version). I could get an IP for the PPC and see the LAN but Internet wasn't working. Anyway having the two Bluetooth Stacks at the same time on the PPC is not a good alternative...
So please:
-MS give us some more Bluetooth Profiles, cm on, you can doit!
- Tobias and Pocket Bluetooth Tools: Please finish the LAN profile, I already donated you :wink:
Cheers
Make sure that a "guest" account is enable on your server, and try protocals other than tcp/ip. Ipx/Spx is fair. I suppose I should ask first if the activesinc laptop is able to browse the target folder? If it can, then try mapping the share as a network drive on the laptop, and see if you can nav to it using activesinc??? I'm a newbie, and don't even have my MDA I yet (in about 2 hours, I will). I will definantly be trying lots of unorthodox crap, so I'll let you know if I get it to work! Good luck.
Hi all,
is there anybody who can tell me how i can test my pocket pc application which is a simple webserver, through activesync??
i can get it's IP address (192.168.55.101) but i can't reach it from my workstation, also i have no idea how to change it.
when connect through GPRS all works fine , simply would like to test it from my workstation.
After some research i noticed that it is a pass-through connection and that it uses TCP to do this.
anybody an idea on how to use it so that i can use my workstations IE to show the pocket pc's page on the little webserver i wrote.
greetz,
Marc

i have the same problem. if you find a solution please contact me by email at adrien dot joly at gmail dot com!
Folks, please do follow my articles. I've published several articles on the networking model of ActiveSync, particularly under WM5.
See http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=555&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Under WM5 / WM6, as long as you don't disable the new AS networking model (it's enabled by default), your IP is 169.254.2.1
Is there a tool or vb.net code out there that can ping www.google.com or other websites ( IP address) from my PPC to prove to me that my data connection is actually working.
Any ideas ?
Try WiFi companion - http://www.socketcom.com/product/SW1221-596.asp
I use VXUtil - http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html.
Cheers,
Steve.
I wrote my own tool for my needs : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=320902#320902
Ok, have read in this forum somewhere that if you specify the DNS and IP settings that you use for GPRS/UMTS then you don't get the IE hanging for a few seconds whilst it automatically looks them up each time. Can get quite annoying when doing a heavy browsing session.
I use my phone on the 3-UK network and they are of no help with these settings as the phone is not available on their network yet (will be soon, its on the 3 Sprint system thats used for upgrades and new connections).
So the questions is, is there a program out there that will capture the DNS and IP that i'm connected to whilst using my 3UK net connection??
Cheers
S.K.
i cannot remember for the life of me where i read the solution to your problem.
apologies I cant be of any help, and apologies for taking back the ashes!!!!! (Moderator intervention (Mike) - You're not sorry at all!!) - poor UK

Have you tried VXUtil.EXE from Cambridge Computer Corporation (Freeware)
From memory (not always reliable!) it may provide info you need: - (and if not still very good for checking your connection status)

You can also try the Task Manager by dotfred to get ipconfig and ipconfig/all info which will give you the IP and DNS settings .. can be found on buzzdev.net ..
vxUtil done the trick.
Thanks for the quick response.
S.K.
I would like to hear what everyone is using for the following
VPN - I am trying the BlueFire Client, and it seems okay
SSH - The Cambridge Util is the only one I am aware of right now
IP Utils - I am using Cambridges VxUtil. It seems okay, I have used it in the past
Firewall - ??
Terminal Svcs - Is thier a better client than the OEM ver? It seems a bit limited..
Any other Networking utils that you would recomend??
Thanks a lot..
and what about OpenVPN for PPC - looks good
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-main.htm
Hello
VPN : i use openvpn pocketpc on my WM VI ... but that's not a really good solution because CommManager is not aware of this connection --> applications that connect through CommManager don't use VPN :/
SSH : http://www.pocketputty.net/
IPUtils : like you, but im looking for a route editor
Good luck
Not aware of one.

Do you think a Firewall app would be worth $10 bucks? I've thought of building one, since there's really no protection from WiFi or BT attacks. The GPRS/EDGE/3G should be firewalled at the carrier.
Whew I have been really busy at work and I just got back to checking this thread.. Thanks for the tips on SSH and VPN.
I got the Bluefire VPN working after a little bit of hassle. The client does not support Split Tunnel and i get a lot of frame errors on my VPN concentrator when connected but it does seem to work.
I'll have to check out the OpenVPN and the SSH clients you guys posted.
As far as firewall goes. I think it is just a matter of time before we start seeing attacks aginst devices.
A firewall would be nice but it may cause some headaches with other apps.. Also even though the carrier data nets are firewalled where they connect to the Public Internet that might not protect you from connections from other devices on the carrier network.

What would you do with the router editor?
