Hi,
One thing to check -
On activesync on your PC select options - rules , make sure you have selected your internet connection in the connection drop down.
I dont remember having to change any settings on the device ...

hi.. thanks for the help..
i have internet in the connections drop down selected. i still cant get internet explorer to connect to the internet through my pc, it still tries to connect via WAP and GPRS..
should i settup a connection through a proxy server... how would i do this..
thanks again for any help
Tony
Hi Tony,
I definitely didn't set up a proxy server on my XDAII, so I'm pretty sure its not that.
Have you got a connection set up to use the GPRS connection on your XDA - under start - settings - connections tab - connections . I have a connection called 'My ISP' , which when I click on 'manage existing connections' has the modem set to use a GPRS connection. Again I don't remember setting this up, so it may be something O2 install from the rom. Try a reset and see if it picks anything up.
One thing I would suggest you do get when you are using GPRS is some sort of traffic monitor. I use Spb GPRS monitor (via Handango) and its well worth a tenner.
Hope this helps
Hi i just got my XDA2 today and I too can not get onto Internet through Activesync and pc just tries to call up on gprs
I have tried the above suggestion still no luck
Can any one help
I can connect to the Internet from my XDA II via the ActiveSync connection on my desktop PC. The connection was configured automatically by the XDA II when I first synchronized it with the desktop PC. The XDA II even automatically configured the proxy server setting to the one I use at the office.
Go to Start->Settings, select the Connections tab and click on Connections. On the Connections window, there should be two connections listed on the Tasks tab. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Select Networks button. On the Network Management window, the first drop-down list should have your GPRS connection selected and the second drop-down list should have your ActiveSync connection (My Work Network) selected.
Thanks Jargon got mine working now

Just follow the same directions I have already given. But instead of selecting the missing "My Work Network" connection, create a new one by pressing the "New..." button below the second drop-down list. Name it "My Work Network". Then select the "Proxy Settings" tab and check the "This network connects to the Internet" checkbox. Click on "OK" to close the window.

THANKS OF NEW BUT NOTHING
I HR the pda and reinstall AS and BT SW
Thanks
I'm not sure what i did but it works - that's all what counts
By the way - what is BT soft ?
mine is widcomm

did you use comport 20 for you activesync connection?
no i haven´t got 20 port available ...
thanks of new
I think I've got it
But it's a little tricky
1. Delete all connections on Pc and PPC
2. Start the Setup-Assistent and choose I want to find
3. Initiate Paaring
4. Choose ActiveSync without secure connection.
5. Set com20 if possible.
6. Please go to your ppc properties on your pc and allow active sync
If you coose com20 you can quit here, if not try this:
7. Start->Run->Regedit
8. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\Services\
9. Search the folder with Name=ActiveSync (I have 0010)
10. Change the ComPortNumber to 20.
11. Search with your PPC the services on your pc and take activesync
12. Go to the preferences of your bluetooth-enviroment of your pc and take the tab local services. Now change the com-port number of your activesync service to an existing one (I have 4).
Now it should work

What if my computer does not show Activesync as a bluetooth option. I can get PIM synchronization but no Activesync. How do I go about adding Activesync as a service my computer can use?
I think the Activesync service is nothing else then a serielle connection called "ActiveSync" with com-port 20. Just create this on manually.
i think tomorrow we have a new rom version, a uninstall AS, and HR to the ppc, then i do this test...
thanks
I have the same problem, when I try to connect from the PPC it says there's no partnership with an AS enabled PC. And when pairing / updating services, the PPC sees serial and handsfree services on the PC, but no AS. Partnership is established, it works fine over USB.
Like miguelromerom I also use the Widcomm stack. Mine is urrently version 5.0.1.1400. I tried several older versions as well.
On the PC I have an incoming bluetooth serial port at COM 4, which is named "My ActiveSync". Secure connection not checked. AS 4.1 is set to allow connections on COM 4. The service on the PC is active.
On the PPC I had optionally configured serial ports: incoming (7), and outgoing (6) to the PC. Set the non secure. Though I'm not sure if either of them is required. I suppose we're all agreeing the port numbers on the PPC bear no relation to the port numbers on the PC?

I also tried this. I still see no AS service from the PPC when doing this. It is not possible to select COM20 in the AS 4.1 connection settings.

ActiveSync via Bluetooth
I am not sure how it will go with Wizard, but with Magician it help me.
I found this step, but I forgot the origin. So actually no permission from the author. I share this with hope can help others. Hopefully the author understand.
-----
1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.
2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!
3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.
4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"
Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.
5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK
6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

With all the exellent resorces we haw on this forum, one might think someone would be able to make AS work via WiFi ?, anyone ?
there is a tool which kills the commgr.exe or something like that
i sync to a exchange server so i never needed it but you can google for it
here:
http://www.airscanner.com/downloads/airfix/airfix.html
But why would you want ActiveSync over a WiFi connection????
Sorry, just wondering! :roll:
Andy
AS over wifi was disabled for a reason: security, because it's all done cleartext AFAIK. Airscanner doesn't enable wifi syncing AFAIK, but is useful.
V
maybe..
I found some info on a microsoft blog a while back but never had chance to try it, if you do and it works could you let me know coz it'd be quite handy considering wifi gives me better distance than bluetooth.

One of the major drawbacks of Microsoft's latest OS was the decision to leave out Activesync WIFI support as a security precaution (synchronization data is not encrypted).
Thanks to Jaap Van Ekris, a Microsoft MVP based in Holland, there is now a secure and effective way to synchronize your WM5 device with Activesync using WIFI technology!
Follow the instructions carefully, and please note this has not been tested on a Smartphone so your feedback would definitely be appreciated on the matter.

Hmm, too bad iyt dident work :-(
You may want to use Exchange Activesync via WiFi, GPRS or whatever. You do not need your PC in this case but you do need an Exchange Server.
Anyway, regarless of my 'leading question'...
I have not actually tried this (after realizing that ActiveSync over WiFi was a bit 'daft') - I stumbled across it in my attempts to get internet connections at work (which was a complete breeze in comparison to doing the same thing with Bluetooth).

Hey guys, anyone have an idea how to activesync over wifi with the prophet? I know activesync 4.1, which came in the box, does not support this, so i tried downgrading to 3.8, but activesync 3.8 wont recognize the device even through USB.
Any clues?
WM5 won't work with ActiveSync 3.x; it requires 4.x, which, as you've found out, doesn't support sync over WiFi.
Found this on Modaco if it will help.

it keeps returning "vpn server problems. verify your username etc..."
I'm trying this with an ad hoc connection. Could that be it? i know my username is fine...
Great, got it set up. Now how do I get activesync on my ppc to connect to the pc over the vpn?
Dudes
I wouldn't bother with this. As far as i can remember from the modaco thread no one got this to work!
XDA forum is different. Here the impossible can become possible, if some of the great minds here put their minds to it...
Cheers!
I've searched through the forums and haven't found anything regarding this specifically... does anyone know if we can use the Prophet (I have JAMin) as a GPRS modem? I used to use my Smartphone for this and would really like to use my new Prophet, but can't figure it out. The only time my laptop recognizes the hand-set as a modem is through Bluetooth and even at that doesn't allow a connection through Dial-up networking.
I would like to connect through USB... or by any means for that matter at this point! Help!
Yes, you can use the Jamin as a GPRS modem.
Instructions for setting this up thru USB and BT are at the bottom of the page.
http://www.imate.com/t-DEVICEMANUAL_JAMMIN.aspx
Please could you post the details as I can't see the site due to not being registered.
I own a Prophet too, but not a Jamin. Would love to know how to use it as a modem.
Thanks!
Pretty much copied word for word from the iMate document. However, I did do some editing as the original doc referenced screen shots that obviously aren't here.
1. From your PC's Windows desktop, double-click on the Bluetooth icon within the System Tray (Bottom Right Hand Corner of the screen).
2. This will open the Bluetooth Devices screen. Click on the Options Tab and tick the ‘Turn discovery on’ checkbox.
3. Tap on the COM Ports Tab and click the ‘Add’ button.
4. Select the Incoming COM Ports Tab and click the ‘OK’ button.
5. Click the ‘OK’ button.
6. On the PC’s System Tray in the bottom righ hand corner of the screen, right click on theActiveSync icon and select the ‘Connection Settings’ option from the pop-up menu.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
Uncheck the ‘Allow USB Connections’ checkbox and tick the ‘Allow connections to one of the following:’
From the dropdown list, select the appropriate COM port relevant to your PC, as shown in step 5 above.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
7. On the JAMin, the Bluetooth ActiveSync connection pairing attempt is made by the following steps.
A) Tap on the Comm. Manager icon in the bottom right hand corner of the Today screen.
B) Tap on the Bluetooth icon and select ‘Bluetooth Settings…’
C) Tick the checkboxes.
D) Tap on ‘New Partnership…’
E) Select the appropriate BT device from the list, then tap Next.
F) Enter the Passkey.
8. On the PC, a balloon appears above the System Tray, prompting the user to authorize the PDA’s Bluetooth access attempt. Tap on the balloon and then enter the same Passkey/PIN as was input into the device and press the Next button is clicked. A confirmation of completion screen will then appear.
9. On the JAMin, the ActiveSync Service needs to be confirmed by ensuring the check box is ticked and then tap Finish. (I don't remember if you need to manually start ActiveSync via BT after this. If you do, just open ActiveSync on the JAMin, tap on Menu then select ‘Connect via Bluetooth’)
10. Once the Bluetooth ActiveSync link has been established, the final phase of configuration is required. On the PC, you should get a Synchronization Setup Wizard window. Press the Next button.
11. Choose the relevant options that need to be synchronized between the device and PC, from the list, and then click the next button.
12. The ActiveSync Settings are saved.
13. Synchronization of the appropriate information types then occurs with the Exchange Server and PC as defined in step 11 above.
14. Click Finish.
for the ppc to detected as a modem you have to start the modem link. make sure you do not have active sync usb enabled. then with the disk in the drive of the pc enable the modem link. the pc will detect new hardware. then install the drivers from the cd rom.
Driver installation is driving me crazy!
I hope that someone can help me out because my problem is driving me nuts!
I have all the drivers on a CD as well as stored locally (unpacked, etc). Now, when I activate the modem link and the Laptop finds a new hardware, I am not able to install this driver (it says the device is unknown, while it should say HTC Modem (or something like this)).
So, I guess the problem is that the laptop does not know which drivers it should install. How can I install the driver without going through the setup wizard??
Any ideas?? It really seems a very simple process and I feel I shouldnt get stuck on this very first step.
Thank you for any advice!
This website have a good instruction on how to setup our prophet (WM5) as a modem. I sucessfully setup it yesterday.

thanks whyhon, these were the instructions I followed. Everything is ok now (the modem mystrially installed after a few attempts) and the laptop is now hooked up to the s200.
The last problem I am facing right now is that I can not connect to the internet. I have tried quite a lot of different settings but I am not able establish an internet connection.
What else could I be doing wrong?
Are you dialling to GPRS using the USBModem_Dialer.exe?
Try using window XP build in dialer.
Start> connect to > HTC USB Modem (WirelessModem)
>Click properties
In the option tab, check "promtp for name and password"
Then dial using your operation's name & password.
Make sure you enable the Modem Link (USB) in your WM5.
Suprisingly, i able to connect at 230.8kbs using my Prophet.

thanks whyhon! I have tried to connect this way or with a dialer.exe.
The problem is that I am able to connect the prophet to the laptop (230.4kbps) successfully but I am not able to open any internet sites. When I check the connection I see that I am sending packages (or data I guess) but I am not able to receive anything.
I have tried a lot of settings and followed instructions very thoroughly but I can not get this connection working for the life of me.
I am about to give up on this one.
Would I be able to simply dial to a connection like AOL by using airtime minutes? Or is that also a mayor task?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank yoU!
No one has an answer to this one?? Sitting at SF airport and would like to use internet via laptop rather prophet... Please perhaps anyone can suggest a remedy? It seems to be working fine for other people so it must be something simple to fix in my configuration. Thank you guys!
Yes, I know your problem. Either you have not set the APN in the dialer to the correct server, or your mobile provider requires a proxy server for all http requests.
In the latter case, you can assign the proper proxy server in IE options to be associated with this particular modem connection.

I believe that the APN settings are correct.
I havent tried the proxy server settings in IE though.
Now, how do I assign a particular proxy setting (I guess IP address and port #, right?) to a modem only??
I appreciate your help!!
