JasJar = Network Adapter, Invisible to ActiveSync

When I plugged my JasJar into my computer via the USB cable, dirctly to the port on the back of my computer, my Windows XP system immediately detected the new device, and installed "Windows Mobile-based Device" (Network Adapter)
Upon attempting to find it with ActiveSync, it claims there is nothing connected. Upon attempting to activate ActiveSync on the JasJar itself, it comes to a window saying it is not connected, with info to connect to an exchange server.
I am using ActiveSync 4.1 (listed as 4.0 in Add/Remove Programs) downloaded from Microsoft website. I was at the time attempting to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2000. I have since connected the device to alternate USB ports, hard reset my device, upgraded to Microsoft Outlook 2003, and uninstalled + reinstalled ActiveSync 4.1 (in that order) in attempts to get my device working.
Alas, I experience faliure. However, my device charges, and if I uninstall the driver, it ceases charging. I do not have my SIM card in the phone yet, as I would like to be able to get a connection, and upgrade the ROM before I worry about making it a production system. Until then, I will be still using my old phone, who's profile I have deleted from ActiveSync, thinking it would conflict with my JasJar.
If anyone else has had this trouble at all, and figured out a way to get this to work, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. If any other information is needed, I can provide you with extensive information.
I have searched through I-Mate's supprt forum, and through xda-developers forums in the Universal sections, and looked elsewhere, and can not find any similar issues where ActiveSync will not see the device, or where it shows as a Network Adapter.
Thankyou!

yes I had same problem. Goto network connections>click on properties for local area connection Windows Mobile Device and checkmark all 3 boxes (Client for Microsoft Netwrok, File and Printer Sharing and Internet protocol.
It should connect and start working.

I did so. All three boxes were checked, so I unchecked them, saved, disconnected the JasJar, reconnected, checked the boxes, and did the same disconnect/reconnect, and soft reset the phone as well. Alas, it remains in the same state.
I do have a very strict block on TCP/IP ports on my computer, however, that is only with the Ethernet and Wireless adapters vis Windows's TCP/IP filtering, so that should not affect this at all.
Are there any specific IP address settings I should have? I do not have any firewall software installed, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1, and I have an HP iPaq 6315 that connects and syncs fine . . .
I very much want to upgrade to my JasJar. I am going to have to take it to one of my friend's houses who has a JasJar, and see if his computer sees it. I will not be able to do so for a while, maybe a week or so, but if I can not figure it out by then, it would at least narrow down the issue to either computer or JasJar.
Thankyou for your help, if you have any more information, maybe I just need Service Pack 2 . . . need to clean my HD up a little to make room for it though.

Minor Success
I have more information. I was able to connect to a computer that has Windows XP Service Pack 2 installer. It was a success. I was able to sync. So, I am attempting to install Service Pack 2 on this machine as well, and see if that is what is troubleing the whole sequence.

OK, there is something else. I upgraded my PC to Windows XP Service Pack 2, and it still fails. However, it fails differently now. The network adapter it is listed as has a conflict. I attempted uninstall, and reinstall of the adapter, and Active Sync, and no success.
It works on the Windows XP SP2 laptop, but not on the desktop. These ssytems are very similar in the setup with the way they have been configured, so I am uncertain as to why this is happenning. It makes me jolly sad.

Hello every1
Hope you all had a happy easter.

I got the same kind of message (not only with the latest ROM), when I connect my Pocket to my PC through the USB cable and ActiveSync, even if everything was working fine (network and internet).
If you check the network properties from both the PC and the Pocket, they are all in "got an IP automatically" status.
The PC is allocated 169.254.2.2 with Pocket (169.254.2.1) as DHCP server.
The Pocket is allocated 169.254.2.1 but by who?
I also noticed that when I am connecting the pocket to my home PC and my work PC, the pocket is having always the same IP address.
Then by changing the "Parameters/Connections/Network Cards/Network Cards/Remote NDIS Host" to specify address 169.254.2.1 (Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0), you can connect to your PC without any such message.
Hoping this will help :roll:
PS: I am not sure about all English translation, because my Pocket is in French!

Yes, just playing around with this and having issues with 'pass thru' on another USB/AS4.1/RNDIS related thread.
Am using those same settings, and it gets rid of the 'Pocket PC Networking' popup.. but it is certainly having issues when in pure USB (ie. no wireless anywhere, no cell etc.) and attempting to use PC's USB dial-up broadband..

Remote NDIS Host, is used only in "pure" USB connection.
In wireless connection, it uses tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet. No ?

ActiveSync issues with Exchange?

I've been having a problem for the past week in that I could not connect to my Exchange Server or passthru to the Internet with and ActiveSync connection.
At least for the moment, on the Connections menu, clicking on "USB to PC" and disabling "advanced networking functionality" seems to have resolved the problem.
Anybody else run into this?
And what is this advanced networking, anyway?
I've also noticed that Sprite Backup would fail with it enabled, so it seems I've solved two problems at the same time...

i had that issue as well the work around i did was connect to my wifi connect my device to my pc sync then disconnect my wifi
still a pain

I've always just connected straight to the server over GPRS/UMTS. I haven't even installed Active Sync on my new PC.

hi Folks,
i have the same issue with Active Sync. I am using Active Sync for syncronizing emails, contacts etc ... I have discovered if you installed the device (hardreset) then you may able to sync with the exchange for the first time. After that you are not longer able to sync it.
I used different ROM's (Dopod, Qtek,O2) all have the same problem. I am not able to sync over Active Sync (4.2 latest and prior versions) with my exchange server. I need to sync over 3G Network and thats a bit expensive over the time with O2.
I think this device is more than incomplete since i am using a Wizard too and i have no problems with the same pc on my Wizard device.
I hope there will be a ROM update really soon that covers many issues discussed in that board here...
At least i am really disappointed about the device which HTC sold over the market.

Hi
On mine this works! - nevertheless i am using the IP adress - could be a hint for you guys
BR
Daniel

do you mean the IP address from the Exchange Server? Or do you pair your device with static IP addresses? :?:

Well ...
I got mine to work after i discovered that the proxy server i placed under gprs connection denied the connection to the exchange server. switching all to MyISP resolved the issue.
If you use a firewall try to look which address the RAPI Manager tries to connect to. Maybe that helps for you to solve your error.

Hi
I use the IP adress for the exchange Server name. The connection Between laptop and device is negotiated automatically

ActiveSync via USB does not work

I want to thank the contributors, members and administrators of this community. I have learned a lot from these forums and its about time I contributed something myself. The following is an issue I recently encountered along with the solution. I hope I can help someone avoid the hours of frustration I experienced with this.
Symptom:
My HTC Universal could not establish an activesync session via USB after loading the JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship ROM from ftp.imate.com in preparation of selling my device.
Actual Problem:
Windows Mobile 5 and Active Sync 4.x This combination is fraught with problems.
Details:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
USB connections from a windows mobile 5 device to ActiveSync 4.x uses a network connection and actually assigns an IP address to the attached device. This introduces issues with any personal firewall you may have installed on you PC or even a VPN client as was the case with me. My company uses a Cisco VPN client that has caused me untold misery with network connections and this was the case here.
Once I uninstalled the VPN client, ActiveSync saw the device and I was able to upgrade to one of Jwrightmcps terrific ROMs and will never downgrade again.

I had to remove Zone Alarm from memory to get a USB connection to work. However, I could sync via bluetooth just fine. While I was drawing power from the USB port. =D

Internet Passthrough or Internet via USB

I decided to start a new thread about this since the other one never got a response.
Have you guys tried this? I am not getting any connection at all unless I disable
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality, BUT once I disable it too just to, I get intermittent PC connections, sometimes it will connect, sometimes it wont with activsync giving me an error.
With it enabled, I see where the problem is, it cant seem to get a good IP address, please refer to pic below.
Help an1?

Possible solutions
First off a few questions. Since you say "ActiveSync" I assume you have a version of Windows XP (Pro or Home). The first thing to check when you try to connect your phone is to make sure you disable your firewall or to create a specific rule that will allow the OS to interact through the virtual network to your phone (in my case, Win XP and Outpost Firewall, I had to allow NetBios over this network and to allow all access for activesync software).
Now, the second thing:
The IP address does not matter that much. Either if it's 192.168.0.2 or the one you posted is the same thing. I have a TyTn and ActiveSync gives me a similar IP address to the one that you have, so it should work for you too.
You mention of an error. Is this an error on the PC in the classical sense (Message box with red X and only an OK button) or is it something that appears on the PDA? If it is the first case (PC error), please post a print screen of it so we may see what we are dealing with...
If it is the second case (error on PDA), the most common problem with Internet passthrough (via ActiveSync on USB Cable Connection) is this:
hxxp://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
On that page you can find a link to a .REG file that should be run on the PC. After that you should have a working Internet connection on your PDA (at least this was the case for me).
Sorry for the long reply, but your post was not very detailed.
Cheers,

Hello thanks for your reply,
I am using winxp Pro on my desktop and winxp home on my laptop. I cant get internet passthrough on both devices.
I use NOD antivirus and windows firewall. attached below is the exceptions rule activesync is included.
as for the error:
I only get the error on the PC if I have this disabled on the PPC
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
The error also does not happen all the time. But putting this error aside, it also gives me internet pass through. But because of the occasional errors, Id rather turn:
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
That on.
