can sum1 please post step by step instructions on how to connect to another computer on a home wireless network, network is 100% would love to get this working!
thanks
Make sure both wifi adapters are ON (both PC and PDA)
1. On your PDA, go to Start->settings->Connections->Network cards
You should find two tabs "Wireless" & "Network Adapters"
2. Click on Add New (in the wireless tab)
3. Give a convinient name, and select "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
4. Complete it by hitting OK
5. Go to "Network Adapters" tab, and choose "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet..." adapter
6. Provide a specific IP address (eg. 192.168.1.2) & subnet mask (eg. 255.255.255.0)
7. Press OK to complete it!
8. Now, on your desktop, double click on your wireless connection tray icon, and then click on "Properties" button
9. Double click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in the list to get the tcpip properties
10. Select "Use following IP address, and specify an IP (eg. 192.168.1.1) & subnet (eg. 255.255.255.0)
11. Press Ok, and close all dialogs
12. Now, right click on your wireless tray icon and select "View available wireless networks"
13. If you've got all the above steps right, you should find the Adhoc network you created on your PDA (...you should find the name you provided in step 3!)
14. Connect to it, and you have your wifi adhoc connection established!
Now you can do the following -
1. You can browse the contents of your desktop through Resco by setting up a simple Network drive (as long as you have a username and password for a user account on your desktop, it should be pretty straight forward to do it in resco!)
2. You can use Terminal services client
a. Fire up TSC, and type in your computer's name and press connect
(you can find out by right clicking on your "My Computer" icon and then clicking on properties) Eg. "Laptop" (without the quotes)
b. press connect, and you should see a login screen!
c. Enter your username and password that u use on ur desktop, and you should get things rolling Wink
Cheers!

ok, don't want to use adhoc, have a netgear dg834g, are the instructions the same for the adhoc, as in the ip setup?
One point to note, at least on my setup...
If I try TSC and enter my servers name it attempts to connect via GPRS,3G. If however I enter the IP address it connects with Wifi perfectly.
Not sure why but I can live with it...

My bet would be that your wifi might not be giving you DNS services and your GRPS is.
You would think so, but my laptop and all the other PC's in the house happily connect using TSC to my server using its NAME instead of it's IP. I just thought it was some thing to do with the Universal.
Anyone knows how is possible to set a different port of 3389 default?
I try to write 192.168.1.X:XXXXX but it's impossible..it says The server name is invalid.
Thankx
No one?

No way to redirect on the client side but you could redirect on the server side with a port forwarding type app. Kind of defeats the purpose of obscuring port 3389 though.
the problem with wifi gprs umts vpn and tsc all relate to the same issues, namely "." in the addresses.
the full stop and name issues usually relate in some way to the "my work" and "internet" designations of your connection types.
to cut a long story short, if you are having difficulty using IP addresses (I have never got a name to work), then place the IP address you are trying to use in the exceptions section of your connection type.
this way, the OS allows the "." in the addressing.
I think the "." issue is not allowed when you are the "my work" connection type, as this is designed or expects to a name for the connection. this is so even if you are using myserver.mydomain.com as the addressing.
if it detects the fullstop, it assumes you want to use the "internet" connection, disconnects what you are looking for and starts using the "internet" designated connection, and if it cant find one uses the 3g/gprs and auto launches.
what a wonderful system, and I dont really fully understand the need for "my work" versus "internet" but it is at operating system level from microsoft, and occurs on all the WM2005 devices as far as I can establish.
if you search on "my work" vpn gprs or similar through the forums, you will find a detailed outline and explanations.
i encountered the problems when trying to use TSC over a VPN over either WIFI or 3G, it simply kept cutting out after 2 seconds, or couldnt find it.
IP addresses are far better, far faster if you can use them and know them, add these into your exceptions as you will find that they rarely change and it should all start coming together.
hasnt been mentioned and dont know if it is different for the m5000 on WM5 (iam using an m1000 with SDIO WIFI)
If i have the PDA Connected on the Wireless network to enable me to connect through TSC i always have to ensure that my work network is selected for both of the two options in Network Management, (start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks)
The top one 'programs that connect to the internet should connect using' is the key one for me, i have an orange gprs connection i need to ensure this has orange gprs or it will not connect, and vise versa if connecting through wireless it has to be My Work Network

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.

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).
Windows Mobile 2003 ActiveSync Configuration for 802.11b and Ethernet networks:

Yes I do know this. I have a 2003 device, and use it !
But would like to sync my jasjar without having to connecting it to the pc in the basement.

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...

Hi,
I can access the internet fine on Wifi but I cant use Terminal Services Client.
I can use Terminal Services Client when connected with Activ Sync.
What am I doing wrong?
It's a home network with a Netgear me102 wireless access point.
I have a Tmobile MDA Vario.
Thanks
MC_Bob
Got it to work dont worry
MC_Bob
Help
How did you manage to make it work. I am trying to use Terminal services to access my home pc via my MDA. I am not sure what settings to use,
Under my work network I created a new connection,
Name: Laptop
Host name/ IP: specified my IP (Tried with computer name before)
VPN type: What do i select here L2TP or PPTP
When I click next I am asked to enter username and password (I guess this is the username for my laptop). I have not touched the default settings under the advanced section.
Use server-assigned IP address was selected by default.
When i try to connect after i while i get the message, unable to connect check username and password.
Please advise what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help in advance.
You don't need all that VPN crap. In fact delete the connection.
Here is what you have to do:
1) When you connect to your WiFi make sure that what you select under 'This network connects to' matches what you have in settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection->programs that connect to the network (bottom list)
'internet' = 'My ISP'
'work' = 'My work network'
2) Start the client and enter your PC IP. You should now get a windows logon screen where you can enter your user and password.
Firewall?
can you connect to remote desktop from another workstation on that network? If not then it could be a firewall and you wouldn't be able to connect with your PPC anyways...
just a thought.
Hi
I am trying to setup my o2 exec to send and receive email from my work.
I have to dial in to a modem using a user id and password. I then have to use a 2nd id and password to access the email. Has anyone got any tips on how to do this? I have all the settings and can get a pc with modem to work ok.
I have tried to setup a modem using the settings I have, and I have tried to setup an email account to use the modem but I keep getting no modem on this connection. If I dial the connection number on a landline I can here the modem connection.
Any help would be appreciated. Fast running out of Nurofen Plus
Thanks

Are the modem connected to your PC or it's a wireless modem and connected to your PPC?
Hi ranju
What I need to do is to connect my xda exec to my work dial-up by just using the xda not any external modem or pc
ph236
First of all, you should be able for accessing internet from your ppc through activesync or wireless connection.
Now, create a new pop3 account in ppc. Follow the steps:
1. enter the email address
2. your name, email user id (i.e. [email protected]), password and tick on save password.
3. account type (i.e. pop3).
4. server address (i.e. in = pop.gmail.com, out = smtp.gmail.com).
5. click on options. select the connection to be used.
6. click on next. uncheck incomming ssl authentication (in case of gmail), check outgoing authentication (in case of gmail) and uncheck use separate settings.
7. finish and close messaging client.
8. open the messaging client and click on send receive.
Hope it will help. You may also do a softreset after the configuration.
Hi ranju
I need to be able to connect via the dial-up modem at work and my exda on the move using the in built phone.
I need to dial into the modem from my xda to the work modem. make a connection using user id and password.
When the connection is established I then need to use a second id and password to get to my email store.
I won't have a pc connection during any of this.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading.
Peter
Let's try to split a problem into 2 parts.
1) Establish a connection using your GSM connection (without GPRS) = "dial-into" your work server.
2) Check your mail.
So, for 1)
you need your XDA to recognise ISP/Work mode properly first.
By default Work mode is for addresses that are either without dots (e.g. server1), or those found on exception list (e.g. intra.company.com/*), otherwise ISP mode is used.
In Settings > Connections, under Connections, there's Advanced tab where you can find Exceptions list. Add your company intranet mask to it.
Then under same Settings/Connections/Connections, go to Tasks tab, Configure your ISP for normal GPRS, so you're still able to browse Internet via GPRS. But configure your WORK connection using modem! Enter name and select for a modem "Cellular Line" AND NOT "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" or others. It will ask you for number to be dialed to work server. Best if you put it in international format. Then enter usename, password and domain on the next screen - and Advanced will give you more options like "Software Compression" or "IP Header Compression".
On Advanced tab select Dialing Rules... button if you have different rules of dialing to work depending on where you are. This would only be needed if your charges for local phone call are different from national number.
Now any attempt to get some data from server1 or server1.intra.company.com will automatically connect you to WORK via your chosen way - that is just modem. If you have modem and VPN, modem takes precedence.
2) Configure your mail client as usual. Be sure that your mailserver name falls into "Work" category: either just Netbios name or DNS name which responds to Exceptions list. Attempt to Send/Receive should refer to this server which in turn should cause dialing via normal modem and not GPRS with automatic username/password provision.
ranju has already provided instructions on how to deal with Email configuration
That's all folks!
Ta-da.
Hi EastExpert.
Thanks for the info I will give a try. Hopefully I can lay off the nurofen for a while.
If I have any difficulties is it ok if I ask for your expertise again.

Here is a simple guide to share you PC or Laptop internet connection with your phone through wifi.
Download and install connectify on your PC or Laptop. Do a google search, you'll find Connectify-Lite for free.
Fill in the settings panel with your prefered WiFi name, password and internet connection to share.
Click start button to start sharing
On your Wireless Connection Status, click Details to get the network connection information, note the IPV4 Address
Now on your Android Device
Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings
Open Advance settings menu
Tick the Use static IP option
Enter your desired IP address (ex: 123.456.7.8) into Ip Address field
Enter your IPV4 Address (ex. 192.168.178.1) into Gateway field
Enter 255.255.255.0 into Netmask field
Enter your internet connection’s DNS server (use ipconfig /all command to get DNS info) into DNS 1 and DNS 2. As an alternative, you can use Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Connect to Wi-Fi using your password
Disable and Enable Wi-Fi (in case if it won’t connect)
It will start working on your android device.
The reason that you need to do all this is you don't have DHCP server enabled on your windows machine for connectify.
An alternative way is to use "Internet Pass through" USB connection mode. In this case windows will automatically enable a DHCP server.
I have attached the screenshots with the post.
Please ask if you have any further query.

I dont understand, what does this accomplish? If you have wifi just connect to it.

It helps you share your PC internet connection with your phone through wlan if you don't have a wifi connection and your PC is connected to internet via ethernet.
