ActiveSync blocked by ADSL connection???

Hello everybody!
I dis some light searching and all the trouble shooting MS had available (which isn't much) so please don't shoot me if this was asked and answered already:
I have the following problem:
Yesterday I upgraded to AS 4.1 (removed 3.7 first) so I can sync my new jamin (Prophet). If I sync it while my computer is not connected to the internet everything is fine, and I can establish an internet connection later, but if my ADSL connection is already active, AS will not connect to my device.
I switched off the Norton firewall I had running, but that did not help. At work I was able to sync while my computer was connected through the company network, so I am 99.9% certain the device is not to blame.
I am running Win XP SP 2 on my PC with a USB ADSL modem.
Has anyone encountered this issue and knows how to resolve it
I will be grateful for any help, thanks in advance!

Check your firewall. I've been caught out so many times thinking I've disabled my firewall only to find that some part of it is still enabled. There's no way your modem could be causing AS to stop working, because AS uses a local connection and doesn't need to tunnel out to the internet.

Boy, am I a moron!!!!
First, thanks Echilon for your reply!
Second, if I get lucky a moderator will see this thread and delete it, as there aren't enough emoticons here to express my embarrassment.
I stumbled on the solution while browsing an unrelated post in another forum. Turns out I had to go in to Connection settings and switch 'This computer connects to' form automatic to internet.
Now everything works fine, and there's no annoying network acquisition before syncing.
I have learned my lesson and will try looking harder next time before crying for help.
Well, if nothing else perhaps someone else could learn from my mistake...

works in wired adsl hotel too
Man,
I've been in my hotel for a week and your post (changing to from "auto" to "internet" ) just fixed my problem! Big up on the info b/c know I can use my VoIP client back to Germany.

How to use P3600 as HSDPA Modem

I want to setup my P3600 (English ROM) as a 3.5G modem for my PC but not successful yet. The Telco service staff has no idea too and pass me a manual for dopod 838 pro. The mentioned programs are not there, nor in my dopod D810 CD.
I can:
- Activesync using USB
- Activesync using bluetooth
Question:
- Should I use the same HTC modem dialer on my PC for XDA?
- Should I use the Start->Program->Internet Sharing?. It allows me to choose bluetooth or USB to PC but both not working too after connect.
Anyone successfully connect their PC via P3600 using HSDPA, pls share the steps. Many thanks.

Eventually, I figure it out myself.
Forget all the HTC modem dialer or wireless modem program as in Xda.
1. Start->Program->Internet Sharing on WM5.0
2. Select the connection type: USB or BT
3. Select "Connect"
4. Then connect the USB and done.
For BT, it would have instruction for you to start PAN now. done.
Woo, it's much easier than the HTC dialer. But now my problem is VPN problem with my telco.

Thanks very much for reporting this info back, it will come in useful when I get my trinity!

just 2¢...
Sadly, because Internet Sharing is actually a NAT server running on your phone, it could prevent you from using 'classic' VPN. You can find more details by googling for 'VPN over NAT'.

for VPN purposes you can always use old good wireless modem mode. it works well.

I don't think it is related to NAT. As long as the VPN ports are opened, it should work. I am using a Wireless router at home and no trouble at all for using VPN under NAT.
Checked with telco. They can enable it for me with extra charge/month. and also the traffic would be charged as expensive GPRS plan. What kind of service!!!
Think twice before subscribing. I used "WonToFee / 1-1-" . The sales that say it can work for VPN may not even know what a TCP port is.
Anyone has use VPN over HSDPA with another telco? e.g. SMOOTH TONE

Hello,
This thread is a bit old, however I think it is related to my problem: I am trying to use Internet Sharing on my P3600 (ROM 1.23.405.2 / Radio ROM 1.38.00.11). Using BT, it works just fine. However, when connected on USB it works fine only for the first time. When I tap "disconnect", the HSDPA connection is stopped, but the status keeps displaying "Connected". There is now way to use Internet Sharing again before a soft reset (Windows XP wouldn't even recognize the P3600 again). Is this a known issue? I have googled a bit, but I haven't found any similar problems.
Thanks!

Hi shefful,
I have had the same problem. I have come across a possible solution while browsing forums. When you need to disconnect press and hold down the red end call button for a few seconds and this disconnects the modem. I haven't tried this yet but it's worth a shot.

Adam

Hi adamwolfe,
Thanks for your help, unfortunatelly this is not the solution to my problem. The GPRS connection ends (according to the icon on top of the screen), but the status keeps displaying "Connected". The application stops responding and can't be stopped from Settings/Memory/Runnning Programs.

Hi shefful,
Yeah, I have the same problem too. Looks like the program freezes in the Connected status. Even tried terminating Internet Sharing with Start/Settings/.../Memory/Running Programs and relaunching Internet Sharing.
Sometimes I get a popup message saying the remote host has terminated the connection before the program hangs. I think this may be the cause of the problem. Which mobile operator are you on?
Rebooting is the only solution so far. Fortunately the Trinity reboots in 20 seconds - one of the fastest in the PPC market I think.

Hi ayhansan,
For other reasons I needed to hard reset my Trinity and the freezing problem has disappeared. I don't know what had caused this problem, I just hope it won't happen again. If I disconnect the USB cable, the status changes to "disconnected" and I can always reconnect.

same problem here
i am connecting to laptop thru USB
after I disconnect UMTS phone syaing still connected
and want kill Internet Sharing
???
thanks

WM6 not connecting to Wireless N Router

Guys, am facing a very weird issue.
i have changed my wirless router from G to a new linksys N router, now my mobile fails to connect to the wirless, though the device sees the connection, once you hit connect-next - next the connection becomes unavailable.
i have searched here and there, and found out that there MIGHT be a cab or a registery fix, anyone can help???
am running TNT.SE

Router Settings
Have you checked the router settings and make sure that it is set up for A/G/N? I have a Linksys N gigabit router and there is an option for N only and other variants. See if that works.

Hi , thanks for your reply as i thought no one will answer me.
the option should be on as i am connected on my Notebook and its a G, same goes for my brother's iPhone, its connected.
i have tried giving an IP,it didnt work out, disabled security, also didnt work out, any other idea's? what Rom are u using?

You have got imate jasjam. I had same problem once with WM5 about an year and half ago. The solution was to do a hard reset to it. Please do back up your stuff before doing so.

No idea mate...
Been having the same problem and its P*£$ING me RIGHT OFF too!!!
I got a Buffalo WZR2-G300N Router and it dont wanna connect to it no-matter wat!!!

Do you have set:
An encryption key (WEP or WPA)?
MAC address filtering?
Also, is the router set to allow N/G/B/A (or whatever it supports)? Tried setting it to operate in G only mode?
Checked for firmware updates to the router and made sure you are using the latest?

Need help with Samsung i780 WiFi

Hi there every one...
I got my phone just couple days ago, and I'm really satisfied with every thing , Bluetooth, GPS, Speed, etc...
but I got very interesting problem with the WiFi..
It detects networks, but can't connect to them.. also I can't connect to my home Wirless network,
When I try to connect to any WiFi network, it tries to connect and then it marks the connection with red "x" with comment that the network is unavailable
when I tried to make an adhoc connection with my Laptop, it says that it is connected, and could ping my phone..
tried later to connect to my WiFi network after I disabled all kinds of protections and encryptions and after I enabled the protections again... no good
please help, because WiFi is extremely important feature that I need...
ROM: PDA = PHONE = i780DXHD1
I didn't flash the device, nor touched the ROM...
any help will be very very appreciated
thanx in advance

common guys...
no body experienced such problem?????
please I need your help...

Well... could a 3D party WiFi manager force it to connect ??
if it could... can you please recommend me one?

You havent said much as to exactly whats happening vs what you've tried. Have you tried connecting to your home network with encryption off?If it connects with security switched off, then try connecting with wep on,then switch to wpa.

Well.. I did every thing you said and nothing happened... even after a hard reset...
also what I've noticed is I can't ping my phone on each connection... =(
sometimes it connects and can be pinged....and sometimes not which drove me crazy already =(
do you have any ideas???

Same here, no solution.

WOW... So I'm not alone...
did you try to flash your ROM??
or you didn't flash your ROM like me??..
is this Software or Hardware problem??
how do you think??

a solution
Hi guys... Actually i faced this problem several days ago. I think this is a bug but im not sure since im not expert in this. My i780 can connect to some networks and can't for some. Here is a trick:
In the network device tab, edit the setting of your Samsung wifi card
Change to Use specific IP address:
IP 192.168.0.1
and that's all for now, leave other settings default
Now you can connect to the network but cannot use it. And somehow when you disconnect the connection, the Wifi in your Wireless Connection might disappear. Try to reset the phone and the Wifi is back.
Change the settings back to Use server-assigned IP and you can use the Wifi now. It really works. And now my i780 can connect to any network, lucky me
Ahh, forgot abt this... You can refer to this topic as well. Hope this help

I have searched a lot on this forum and have not found any solution to the wifi problem on HTC diamond....I am sure there are experts in this forum who have worked around their way and I would request them to post their comments as to how they have got their WIFI talking on HTC Diamond...........
I am trying connecting to my home wireless network. It finds the network but unable to connect to it. Any help please? Has anyone managed to get it connected to any Wifi? I ahve already set the power management to "best performace...no succes.......
(My laptop and O2 stealth does get connected to the same network and it an open wifi connection)...........PLZ Help.....

There is no wifi problem on the Diamond. it works fine for on every ROM I have used.
It sounds like you haven't set the access key in your Diamond.

Would be kind enough to elaborate......Mine is open WIFI router, there is no need for any pass keys......my other phone O2 stealth perfectly connects while HTC diamond doesn't.........
Please do have a problem and that the reason there are so many view on this thread in just 30 minutes....
thanking you in advance for your help........

i've never known any problems, have u flashed a cooked ROM or changed the Radio?
if so, i would try going back to stock and see if it works then, if not, send it back as faulty.

I'm not aware of any 'known issue' with the WiFi on the Diamond either, certainly mine and my girlfriend's both work fine in this respect. If you've never successfully connected to any wireless network then you've got a hardware issue; send your phone back to be repaired and stop wasting time looking for a software solution would be my advice.

wifi,,,
Glad that a lot of users doesn't had problem with the wifi, but it's an iminent malfunction, and looks to be a hardware problems...
I had change my rom and radios a lot, and the issues are the same:
Opened the comm manager or the settings-connection-wifi, turn on the wifi, and it's turn off again...
In my case, often worked properly after soft reset, and i often connect with 3g or gprs, but...it's a suck!!!

Step by step......connecting to wifi....

Would you please step by step elaborate ....connecting to an open wifi network......will be really greatful........

if your diamond is not connecting to your router there is some posibilities. Are you at home or work, at work on the AP you can have security setings and MAC filtering. At home if you have not implement security and mac filtering you can be to far of your router, You must be between -60 and -80 Db max and at -80 it is easyer with a MIMO router, etc...

Got the same problem as you
this is how i fixed mine.
1) I download a radio rom thing and install it
2) restart the device and the wifi is working perfectly.
No problems at all!

Got the same problem as you
I download a radio rom and install it but still turn off again
