Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync
I don´t know what happen with the activesync and w2005. I cannot synconize because a hardware happen in the device manager.
The error is in the device manager-network adapters- windows mobile-base.

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...

hey i downloaded the win2005 and active sync 4 but when iam flashing ma rom and instaling the file an error says that cannot connect or smthn or an error in connection why is that ?

No Progress what so ever!!
ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..
Hi all,
I've a question for you guys but... first of all:
I've a laptop with OfficeXP and Activesync4.1 installed...
Is it better for me to install Office2003 or Office2005 in order to sync with my Jam?
Office 2003 is better then OfficeXP?
And wath about Outlook 2002 contained on the Jam's cd?
The second question is:
I've another desktop pc in office...
if I install Activesync on both pcs will I have any problems syncronizing all the 3 device? (Jam, laptop and desktop pc)
I'd like to sync my contacts, calender and notes....
I sync my MDA with my office PC and my home PC. No issues.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it possible to browse my wifi connected Wizard (O2 mini S - latest O2 ROM) from my PC...
Ie i would like to be able to open window to my documents on my phone on my PC to copy file etc...
Thanks in advance!
Yes, but you will need some third party software, such as Resco Explorer, to 'map' the folders you want to access across the network.
Thanks for your quick reply, however i meant if/how is it possible to browse the files on the wizard from the PC over wifi network, not the other way around.
Cheers
lo thought i would try helping.
if you downgrade your active sync on your pc 2 or 3 releases it supports syncing via wifi.... the newer ones it was disabled on for some daft reason.
it may be enabled on the new beta version i dunno.
anyway if your pc was synced to it you certainly can view the my documents folder. also by bluetooth in any version of active sync, just need a bluetooth dongle for ur comp.
hopw that helps
I don't think you can downgrade with WM5, I believe that you need Active Sync 4.1 and above.
I can't think of a way to browse the PPC on a wireless network which is a good thing for security.
hi, have you tried pocket controller? you can control your ppc from the pc via wifi.

Hi guys,
I'd like to sync my Jamin with the Outlook of my laptop and the Outlook of my pc in office both.
At the moment, I sync my Jamin only with my laptop and in office I configured activesync to has no syncronization item. (I use activesync just to install app and use pocket controller.)
Wich is the best way to sync both the pcs in my actual situation?
P.S: I use Outllok 2003 in both pc.
Mine syncs to 2 PCs just fine. I only sync email one one but everything else on both.
Are you using ActiveSync 4.1 on both PCs?

So you don't have a problem. Just enable whatever you want to sync. It should work perfectly.
Thnks guys!
I'll try...
P.S: I use the newest Activesync 4.2! :wink:
Hi all,
I would like to ask if you know a program to sync my Outlook calendar on my work PC with my Trinity? I cannot install ActiveSync 4.5, because I am not an admin on my laptop and the company has only MS ActiveSync 3.7 packaged and I cannot make it to connect to my Trinity. So the question is: is there any program which does not need to be installed (I can simply copy it to my laptop) or is there a way to connect AS 3.7 to my Trinity?
Any help would be much appreciated.
