I had all this working until I did the new Cingular 8125 update, and at the same time I updated ActiveSync 4.2 ... But I don't think it is necessarily one of these causing it ... could be emoze install.
Whenever I try to go to anything on the internet (mail, browser, other apps) while connected to ActiveSync I am blocked. I didn't use to have this problem.
From the browser, if I try to enter a URL I get the following: "The page you are looking for cannot b found due to unknown error 0x80072f78."
Everything works from GPRS/EDGE, but not while connected to ActiveSync.
- ActiveSync is set for connection to "Automatic" (I tried both My Work and Internet)
Any ideas?
I have the same problem
I have the same problem as well.
Me too!
As soon as you connect your phone to active sync it will automatically use your computer's internet connection as the default, so bt and/or gprs will be disabled, this feature is by design unfortunately...
If you connect your phone just to charge it or take remote control with something like SOTI Pocket Controller then disable the USB connection within active sync and make a TCP/IP connection for SOTI Pocket Controller if necessary.
That is the problem... Activesync isn't serving as that Conduit anymore. Before the latest firmware release it would pass the connection through and you would use your laptop/desktop PC as the internet connection and override the GPRS or other network settings.
Now, when you connect to Activesync, it is returning an error. This seems to be a problem in either the Activesync 4.2 or 8125 new release. The problem starts as soon as you load these. Nothing else loaded, etc.
Anyone have any ideas on this? It is troubling as my automatic updates no longer work when I am syncing and aren't there now when I disconnect.
I also use this for demos showing mobile web sites.
Please help!
I have the same problem..anyone can help
Directly from Microsoft:
"To all those who have had problems with connecting to the internet from the device when upgrading from ActiveSync 4.1 to 4.2:
ActiveSync version 4.2 made a change to how it interacts with the Windows networking stack to use Layered Service Providers (LSPs) on outgoing Desktop-Pass-Through connections. This allows for improved compatibility in environments where connections to the internet must be passed through these LSPs (ISA Proxy is one such example).
Unfortunately, it appears this change has caused some issues for a small segment of users who have LSPs that interfere with ActiveSync communication.
There is a registry key fix which will essentially remove this change.
Please download and rename the attached text file with the .txt extension to the .reg extension. In other words, change the file LSPvalue.txt to LSPvalue.reg. Afterwards, please double click on the newly renamed .reg file and click on the "Yes" button.
This should resolve your issues.

Here is the reg patch. It works...
I had the same issue. I didn't apply that registry patch but I did change something in activesync. I did "File" > "Connection Settings" and in the drop down on the bottom that says "This computer is connected to" the default is "Automatic". I set it to "The Internet" and I've gotten connectivity ever since.
That did it! You rock!!
BTW, I tried the other suggested fix of the connection settings, which did not work. The registry patch is the only fix I know of that works!

for me, the activesync-settings change worked, no reg patch needed.
so it is at least worth a try...

Applied the Reg but problem remains!
I applied the reg file, and ensured that the regiwtry key was added to my PC. restarted both the PC & PPC. But unf the problem still there.
Any one can help?
Okay - I was having no end of problems connecting to Activesync and syncing to Exchange (local desktop would work ok), sometimes activesync on the desktop pc would stay at 'connecting' other times it would try to connect, but fail with error code 80072efd or 0x85002003. I also kept getting the error message on the PDA - unable to connect with your network settings (or something like it...).
After a couple of days trying to get it working (and occasionally succeeding after hard resets etc) I started investigating...
So, I checked a few things... Activesync 4.X uses a Remote-NDIS host on the PDA to make an IP based lan-type connection to your pc. Check your settings in
Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters
for the 'Remote-NDIS Host'.
Mine had been set on 'Use Specific IP Address'. Change this to 'Use Server-Assigned IP Address'
Now check that it says ' My network card connects to' and that work is selected.
Now check Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Connections'
and check that the proxy server states - This network connects to the Internet' and that there is no proxy server specified.
I don't know if this will sort any issues out for anyone else - but it worked a treat with mine, so having spend days trying to get it working I thought I would share my horribly annonying experiences!!!
Hope it helps,
Liamo
on secoind thoughts - this has caused me more problems... grr I hate activesync - ignore my babbeling....
If I sort it properly I will post again..
i'm off to eat some apple-humble pie.

Okay,
so I uninstalled version 4.1 of activestink and installed the latest version 4.2. I created the pairing and hey presto - it's synching again.
Yup - it's great fun.
ohh, I also hard-reset in between 'cause I was annoyed!!!
;-)
liam
this worked for me.
i too faced the 'spinning wheel' problem with active sync.
i figured out that it was the configuration of the desktop or laptop and not the wizard as such.
1. after connecting the USB, i cud see messages like RNDIS device ready and all.
2. after this click on the lan icon in the taskbar of desktop. it displays all the lan connections. select the one that is for windows based mobile device.
3. in the properties for this lan connection, in general tab, check the box for Internet protocol.
4. In the advanced tab, click on settings for windows firewall.
5. check if activesync is added to the exceptions list. if not, check the box for activesync. click ok.
this should solve the problem. i sometimes have to do each time i connect thru usb.
hope this works.
hey guy i also had the same problem and although the first post was somewhat helpful, i still had to take an extra step in order for activesync to connect properly.
1. after changing to " Use Server-Assigned IP Address" in the connections tab i then had to:
2.go to the "usb to pc" interface and uncheck "enable advanced network funciotnality"
thanks for this post - i couldnt get my activesync to woork for the past 5 days
Activestink 4.2 won't even start on my computer :lol:
I don't really need it anyway :roll:

You should make the activesync on the phone a serial connection instead of a ndis connection, this cab helped me:

It was driving me crazy the first day I had my wizard.
you can also use a registery hack:
use your favourite regeditor;
change

into:
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\“DefaultClientDriver“=“Serial_Class“
Erase:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“
do a Soft-Reset.
check after the reset if a:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been made for serial communication otherwise it won't work.

How can I run this cab if I can't use Activesync? (My PPC (MDA Pro) is in a vanilla state)
in my case was easier because i was able to copy on the ppc but i couldn't copy from it. trry to load it somewhere where you can take it from with your phone.
I've tried d/ling it from here but It doesn't save as a cab file.

This is the trick I found out:
Connect your phone, wait till activesync starts.
Run taskmanager on your pc and kill:
WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
Go to your explorer (again PC) and doubleclick:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\wcescomm.exe
Activesync will run now without errors (but doesn't sync!).
click on explore, copy the cab to the phone.
Disconnect the usb-cable, start the cab on the phone.
Reboot the pc, reconnect the usb-cable and activesync will sync again

I've make the registry changes but after soft resetting, no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been created. Can you please post the contents of that reg key so I can put in manually otherwise is there something else I need to do to get the key created?
I have also had a similar problem with my computer and my Qtek 9100 not "finding each other" properly for a sync over USB ince the day I bought it over a year ago. Haven't been too bothered with it, as I've synced via BT instead (which works perfectly).
Still, technology that doensn't work properly seriously anoys me. Having tried all other available and suggested solutions I stumbled across the-equinoxe's recepie of reg-changes. After following the instructions I also ended upp with no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ for serial communication.
Therefore, I would like to repeat sunseakers call for help... Could anyone tell me what the contents of that entry is supposed to be?
Thanks for any help!
...i don't know if this will work for you, but i attached mine usbreg...
Thanks Krinkie.
ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!
I've been trying for days to connect to my laptop and the file above 'rndis to serial' finally did the trick... I'd read elsewhere about turning off your firewall etc, in the end I'd uninstalled all my firewall, anti spyware and antivirus programs...
Thank god for everyone here at XDA-developers... there wasn't anything useful on the Microsoft site.
Hi all,
I had the alarm issue when it would not switch off so I deleted all notifications in the notifications list. I've since learned this was a bad thing to do! My only real problem at the moment is being unable to connect to ActiveSync. I get assigned the correct IP address and activesync goes green but it doesn't connect and I get an error message. I've check all settings/fixes listed in about 4 seperate threads but none have helped.
If someone has Buzz's TaskManger v2.7 installed can you list which notifications you have listed, especially any which look AticveSync related?
TaskManager is available here: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,27,15027
Edit: Connecting to ActiveSync via Bluetooth is fine. It's only the USB connection which appears broke.
Thanks!
Gavin.

marisa4755 that is a particularly useful link you give to cure the lost Active Sync connection. So good in fact I think it should be re-written (perhaps tailored) and credited to Aficionado + fattyfattybombom, might put my mind to this for the wiki.
It also serves as a reminder that although scarybear is free it does allow you to easily delete key entries in notifications. The other tools memmaid and SKtools etc at least make it more troublesome though still possible to delete replog.exe.
Mike
I agree with you. I found it by accident when wondering what a lot of the 'stuff' in my notifications queue was, with a view to - should it be there. So I googled this one and that link came up.
When we look into the queue, some things are easily identifiable, others are guessable, and some are a bit of a mystery. It's sometimes a bit trial and error deciding what stays and what goes. Anyone producing a guide to this would have to be at least up for sainthood in my book.

Yes indeed, in fact I'll put some work into that, although I recently cleared a lot of mine out so getting a full list of items that show up may be a problem.
Meantime I have adapted the info in the link you gave and posted as a thread - not on wiki yet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302459
Mike
That's really good, makes it very clear. I'm sure this happens to lots of people and the only thing they know will fix it is a hard reset.
If it helps, these seem to be the non clock/calendar or application specific notifications in my queue (original ROM):
Windows\calupd.exe
AppRunAtTime
repllog.exe
/sched /remote /h
repllog.exe
AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
repllog.exe
AppRunAfterTimeChange
repllog.exe
AppRunAtRs232Detect
clocknot.exe
AppRunAtTime
clocknot.exe
AppRunAfterTimeChange
clocknot.exe
AppRunAfterRestore
CALNOT.EXE
\Windows\TimeWizard.exe
AppRunAtTime
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardTimeChange
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardWakeUp
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunatTime
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunAfterRestore
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunAfterTimeChange
I haven't yet done my 'fake server' trick so some of the repllogs may change after that.
Hope this helps
@Marisa
Thanks for the info. Like you said some are guessable others will take some investigation - see you in a few weeks!!!
Mike
Hi all,
Thanks very much for taking time to give all the info, including creating a new thread to help others. Unfortunately nothing has helped here. I've created all the notifications using either TaskManger or MemMaid, resetting the device each time but I'm still getting the same behaviour. Even when I manually run repllog.exe.
The only thing I can think of which I have not tried is that the repllog.exe entries for AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected and AppRunAtRs232Detect have aguments also but this isn't mentioned in any post here so I guess I'm clutching at straws.
I'll see what I can do before Monday then I think it's a hard reset.
Gavin.
You mention in your first post that you get an error message, what is that message. Sorry, should have asked this first instead of making assumptions. That might give an extra clue.
Hi Marisa,
Good point.
On the mobile I get "Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter and IP address in Network settings" although if I goto Settings > Connections > Network Cards and check I've been assigned 169.254.2.1 and I've tried assigning a fixed address in Remote-NDIS Host but it still doesn't work. Activesync spends ages at 'connecting'. I did get an error message on my laptop (testing now with my desktop) from activesync along the lines of "can not connect to mobile device. click OK to troubleshoot or cancel to end".

Have heard of folks with this kind of problem who got it working by uninstalling ActiveSync and re-installing latest version of thee net. You see in your case it looks like repllog is opening active sync so it's not the repllog being missing problem. One other thought is to go to the active sync setting that says delete mobile device and then reconnect the mobile and see if setting up a new connection works. (Only thoughts of things to try before a hard reset!!)

Gavin,
Try this. I copied it from a posting on this site a long time ago and put it into an Outlook Note, so I can't acknowledge the original poster (my apologies to whomever you are).
(Title bar) Pocket PC Networking
(Exclamation point yield sign warning icon)
(Error body) Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.
Solution:
1. Remove the PPC from the cradle.
2. Edit the PPC registry. I used PHM Registry Editor Version 0.7.
3. Look for the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Change
EnableDHCP=1
to
EnableDHCP=0
4. Quit the registry editor using Tools > Exit. I did not soft reset the PPC.
5. After making the above registry change, dock the PPC. I waited more than 30 minutes and still no error. Before the registry change, the error appeared between 1 to 3 minutes after docking the PPC.

Hello.
Thanks again for all your help but I still don't havet working yet
I'm sure the info here will help others though.

I suppose you have tried unticking the advanced functionality box?
Start/settings/Connections/USB to PC
Update:
I forgot about my HTC Universal. I loaded TaskManager onto the Universal and copied the repllog.exe notifications one by one and it now works...
These are as follows:
Notification > Task > Arguments > Type > Event
Application repllog.exe /sched /remote /h CNT_TIME None - (date and time)
Application repllog.exe AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected CNT_EVENT RNDISFN interface instantiated.
Application repllog.exe AppRunAfterTimeChange CNT_EVENT The system time has changed.
Application repllog.exe AppRunAtRs232Detect CNT_EVENT An RS232 connection is made.

Hi,
I'm sure this issue is addressed somewhere in this forum, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm running Windows Mobile 2003 SE and I'm having a problem with my connections. After I add a new connection or try to delete one or add a VPN or delete one, the list of current connections doesn't update or change. For example, I'll add a connection called "Test" and go through all the prompts, but after I press finish the box, the palce where it lists the connections will be blank. Sometimes if I try to add a connection with a name I've used in the past, it will say that a connection with that name already exists- even though I have no way of accessing that connection.
This is causing me many problems when using mail/internet.
Is there a program I can use that will wipe all my connection settings so I can start over?
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200, and due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our mobile devices.
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.
alan
What are you talking about? Disable wifi? Why do you start it at the first place?
Internet access on mobiles can be done by active synch, data connection, wifi. It 's up to you to disable them by comm manager and active synch.
Maybe I get you wrong. What exactly do you need to stop?
Hi fresco,
thanks for the reply. Well, the organisation wants to prevent the devices from having the ability to connect to the internet.
I understand that there may not be a complete solution, but at the very least I would definitely like to disable wifi completely, since this is what I've read others have done. The devices do not have data connection plans, hence this option isn't a problem.
Apparently I can disable the wifi by altering the registry keys? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
hiya...
any ideas guys?
can anyone direct me to anything that could be remotely useful to the above?
Thanks
Hi alan,
let me get this straight.You work at an organization that has unencrypted wifi access
but doesn`t want it`s employees using it?
If your company`s wi-fi network gives access to the internet to anyone that connects to it why doesn`t the IT manager set a password to the network or enable mac filtering (prevents unauthorized devices-mac addresses from connecting to the network)?
I don`t know how you would disable the wifi chip from the registry
but if i were you i would buy a second phone for work use only.
SKTools
Try SKTools maybe there is a solution in the app.
You can disable the WiFi in registry:
Go to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware]" and change the WiFi string to 0.
In the Comm. Manager the WiFI is disappeared and you are not able to connect.
thanks brainmaster.
the method that you suggested only removes the wifi display from comm manager, however that can easily be bypassed using the windows menu, to open wifi.
thanks...
then delete that one from the windows menu from Device > Windows > Start Menu
