Hi everybody,
I've a Qtek2020 smart phone. I would like to access my lan' pc from my PDA when it is connected to serial/usb cradle.
I can ping the pc to wich the pda is attached and I can open in internet explorer a page served from the pc IIS server. But my problem is that the PDA identifies itsel with the same IP address of the host pc (the pc connected to my pda)
Is there a way to let the PDA be connected via ActiveSync/serial/usb cable to the host and receive an unique IP address??? This way I will be able to send TCP/IP data to the PDA .I need this because I've a software that act as a server that need to be installed to the pda and must reply to requests that come from lan' pc.
The host pc has winXP pro. I've tried to create an "incoming connection" on this machine that accept connection on the COM2 port, using the wizard that is usually used to direct connect 2 pc via direct serial cable.
This way i think I need a special software to be installed on pda....
Any help???
Thanks a lot for any suggestion

If I buy a bluetooth USB adapter for my PC, can I then share and transfer files between my XDA2 and my PC? If so, are there any particular specs I should look for in an adapter? Also, would this then be able to allow my XDA2 to use my PC's internet connection (ADSL)?
Lee.
yes using activesync just like when you connect using the cattle / usb
if the bluetooth usb follow the std of bluetooth then it should act the same no matter which adaptor you get
special settings
do i need to make special settings to make the XDA II access internet via blouetooth activesync. i finally managed to get my device connect to my pc using bluetooth.

Hi,
The only setting you need to do is on PC ActiveSync. Go to Options > Rules > Pass Through (at the bottom of the page) and choose The Internet.
That's it. Once your PC is connected to the Internet, you XDA with Bluetooth ActiveSync can also enjoy the Pass Through Internet.
Cheers
joparp i did the same thing and it is not working!!!
Hi i have an XDA 2 and a MSI bluetooth USB adapter (the range of the adapter doesn't matter as far as i can tell because its the XDA 2's 10m range thats the limit). The XDA 2 connects through to the PC using active sync. Active sync doesn't have bluetooth support but this is ok because it can connect to serial (com ports). PC Bluetooth can create virtual com ports to connect to so just make sure that your PC active sync is set to your virtual com port. Then all you have to do is click on tools (in active sync on XDA 2) and select connect via bluetooth. Works great! free FAST internet when in range of the pc (10m open air) and if i can get it working with bluetooth, accessing the lan using Pocket Lan (if anyone knows how i'd love to know! ). hmmmm access to mp3's on pc network
I'm able to sync via Bluetooth. But I have to initiate the connection from my XDA II. Start ActiveSync in XDA II, click "Tools", select "Connect via Bluetooth". Is there a way to initiate the connection from PC ActiveSync?
BT ActiveSync
I don't personally think there is a way to do this unless you take remote control of your pocketpc from the pc. What I have also found is that the Bluetooth is very shaky when anything other than small data transfers are concerned e.g. if you try to surf to a web page with loads of images or you have quite a few pages in AvantGo, the BT connection will be dropped. It is far from ideal...
I have had zero success in synching by bluetooth, all I can do is beam files to the pc via bluetooth, I also cannot browse my xda2 from the bluetooth desktop.

You need to create a virtual serial port using the Bluetooth software on your desktop PC. Then set the Connection Settings on ActiveSync to allow connection from the serial port you just created. If your Bluetooth software has an ActiveSync profile, it will do all this for you automatically. Otherwise, you need to use the Serial Port profile.
You can browse your XDA II through ActiveSync. Just select the Explore command.
how to control the assigned com port
the bluetooth software on the desktop insists on setting the com ports as com10 or higher...I read somewhere that activesync does not recognize com port higher than 9.
I re-installed the drivers several times....and it only allows for com 10...and of course activesync does not recognize that as an available port to connect to!!
any thoughts??
setup:
Widcom 1.4.2 bluetooth driver on win XP Pro
Epox USB dongle
Activesync 3.7.1
I am using the same software but it always offers com3 or com4 which works fine, if you right click on the bluetooth desktop serial port profile does it not give you an choice under "properties"? I have worked out how to do most things now but I am struggling with my laptop with bt dongle trying to browse the web through sharing, I know the settings are correct but it just wont let me through, I have a full network access running and can access files etc but no internet on laptop. :?
Hello all,
I've got a project with this background:
- Programming a PDA program with C++ and Eclipse and wXWindows for Windows Mobile 2002
- Using a database on a windows PC
Question is: Is there an interface that already exists for communication from the PDA with the windows PC connected via USB?
Thanks.
yes both win32's odbc or mfc's ado or dao is present at pda's like on pc's
I have a server program running on the windows pc, which communicates with the database.
So i need a connection to the windows program and not to the database, sorry.
How can i communicate with the program?
make a socket on the pc program which listen to a socket at a surden port
and make a program on the pda which writes to a socket at the port and the ip
and you are there
ok, thanks.
So i have to program like a normal network application?
How can i find out, which ip my pda have, then it is connected via usb?
Can i communicate with the pc to the normal network ip from the pc?
ms have some free tools for ping and such i'd asume that they have a ipconfig tool in that packet
and yes when connected to activesync or wifi
the pda can do the same stuff as a pc connected to a pc
socket and networkwise
Hi mate my pc is attached with a dsl high speed net. i wan to use it on my ppc when i connect it with activesync using usb cable. is there any software or any possible way to share my pc net on my ppc. i have wizard with wm6
Regards
I think (depending on the ROM) that Active Sync itself provides this functionality. If you set up a new partnership, the second screen has a check box which allows you to let the device connect to your PCs internet.
Hi,
I have been unable to connect my PDA with my new laptop using bluetooth.
the laptop recognises the PDA is trying to communicate but asks for a password which I have not set up, so it doesn't link.
I am unable to get into the PDA for set up a new sync file (even with the two units connected via USB).
I know the comm ports are different on the two units but cannot change them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Pam
