It's Probably Your Firewall
I use Trend Micro and I had to create new rules for the firewall. The link below will hopefully get you going in the right direction.

thanks for the help
that link was kinda useful, but im still having problems which i think are related to my firewall software. i use kaspersky anti hacker and i have allowed all the processes for activesync in the firewall setup, but i think its the ports that im havin difficulties with. anyone with expierence with this firewall please help!
Cingular 8125 Sync Issue
I have the Cingular 8125.
One thing I can say is that the Sync between the 8125 and ActiveSync is buggy. For instance, It keeps wiping out my favorites bookmarks on my system when doing a bi-directional sync. - wierd.
Anyways, After playing around with this phone for a few weeks, I do know that ActiveSync uses TCPIP via USB to communicate with the 8125. My suggestion is to temporarily disable any and all firewalls and see if it syncs up. When I plug my phone in I get a new network adapter that shows up and obtains an IP address from nowhere (169.254.2.2) as my systems are firewalled from the internet entirely and I don't run DHCP on my network.
I suggest the following:
1) See if Windows see a new network adapter when you plug in the 8125.
2) Disable all firewalls from that adapter.
3) Establish a firewall ruleset allowing data for both your local private network subnet (10.1.0.0/255.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) and the 8125 network subnet (169.254.2.0/255.255.255.0)
4) When the phone is connected, it shows up in "My Computer" as "Mobile Device".
Hope this helps.

Same problem
I have the same problem with TyTN e Windows Vista/XP... And I have no idea about the way to solve it!
The strange thing is that happens only with TyTN and not with MTeoR!

Hey Folks,
Does anyone have this working? I've tried and tried, but absolutely no luck. I've tried through a VPN, directly to my PC.
ActiveSync starts the connecting dialog on the PC, but just stops; no error message or anything. I do have an external address with my GPRS connection, so there are no firewalls between my device and the PC.
Any thoughts much appreciated,
Art.
While you say you have no firewalls, many service providers block the ports via GRPS needed for activesync for some bizarre reason. I've got mine working via GSM (direct via host name registry entry rather than VPN), but O2 block activesync traffic over GPRS.
I know that here in Ireland with O2 if you use the APN "open.internet" it will allow all ports through. Contact your mobile service provider, they may give you APN that gives you full access!?
Thanks very much for the answers...
I know it's supposed to be fully open, without any firewalling as well; but will cehck with them again.
I'm trying to out this together as well, but I have a firewall in my router. Which ports should I open & forward to my PC?
Also how do I got round the problem, that on my device AS has my PC LAN-name in the dropdown list.Would VPN be a solution? If yes, how?
Hello every1
Hope you all had a happy easter.
I have a slight problem since upgrading my Qtek 9000 to the latest rom.
I always get this warning when I open my Qtek 9000.
The warning says:
Unable to obtain a Server - assigned IP address. Try again later or enter a IP address in Network setting.
Does anybody known whta is causing this warning an how to stop it.
I'm not using any software that has to connect to the internet.
The push mail I have not set it up because I do not known how.
Can sameone be kind to tell me how to disable this warning because it is driving me crazy.
I do not get any anther problem since installing the new rom it has not crashed my pda now for over a week I'm a very happy bunny, just what this warning to go away.
Thanks

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 ?
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
Just as the title reads, I'd like to know if there is a way to have ActiveSync enabled while at the same time piping all data traffic using GPRS.
I use Pocket Controller which requires ActiveSync to be used. The problem is my internet connection associated with my computer is always loaded with data traffic. I use my K-JAM for IM applications and would much like for it to connect to the internet via the GPRS connection I have.
I have discovered that after the Pocket Controller establishes a connection with the K-JAM, if I disable the ActiveSync connection by going to Connection Setting and unchecking the "Allow USB Connections" check box, Pocket Controller continues to work, while at the same time I am able to use the GPRS connection on my PDA.
The problem with this is that, everytime I disconnect my K-JAM and reattach it, I have to enable the "Allow USB connections" option, then let ActiveSync detect the K-JAM only after which Pocket Controller will detect the K-JAM and then disable the "Allow USB connections" option again for GPRS to work.
I hope sombody can shed some light on this.
Upgrade to Activesync 4.5.0 Beta (works fine as far as I can tell, been using it for a while now) and you can select for the phone to continue using the radio while connected, it's just a check box.
Thanks for that bro. I'd much rather avoid any Beta versions. Tell me, would you happen to know if ActiveSync 4.2 supports this feature???
Also, I don't really use any Sync Features. The only reason I use ActiveSync is because I need a way to interface my K-JAM to the computer and install programs... that's about it. So given this situation, will ActiveSync Beta perform ok???

Use the beta man... no biggie.
Well as per your instructions, I used the BETA version v4.5 BETA 2.
After installation, I looked up the connection settings, and there is a check box which reads "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
Unfortunately, even though I have checked it, once I connect my K-JAM to it and go back to connection settings, the option disappears and just like with the previous versions of ActiveSync, I can't seem to use EDGE / GPRS while ActiveSync is enabled.
Can someone please help?
TIA
Well...try active sync 4.2! Because in my case it does it even though I don't wish to. There is no more Internet Pass Through, so GPRS connection is started as soon as I try to access a web page.
I actually would like to know how to stop it! I will maybe try 4.5 as the registry hacks I found for 4.2 don't work.
Easist way i got it to do that a while ago (when i didn't want it to ) was to set the network card as a "Work" connection.
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network Cards -> change "The Internet" to "Work" and try...
All from memory so post your results
I finally figured it out.
The ActiveSync didn't seem to work. Everytime you connect the Wizard to the computer, it is assigned an IP (in my case it is 169.254.2.1). In the Pocket Controller settings, set it to connect via TCP/IP and punch in the same IP address. You can have ActiveSync disconnected. Pocket Controller will connect to the Wizard and you can use GPRS to access the internet.
Hi Guys
Sorry if ive posted this in the wrong place (Admins, feel free to move it if need be)
Well... My old iMate JasJar (HTC Universal) died completely last night, so today I went and got myself an OKTA Boss... Im pretty sure its an HTC Manufactured phone, just cant quite work out which model... But anyway... Onto my problem
I regularly work out of the office and rely on my PDA for internet access, I used to use the USB Dialer for WM5 with the JasJar and it worked just fine.
Now the new BOSS has WM6 so has Internet Connection Sharing... But I just cant get it to work...
Everytime I connect it the icon in the taskbar (Im running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5) searchs for the IP address and then fails to find an IP, coming up with a error in a bubble:
"There is limited or no connectivity on this network connection"
ActiveSync works fine, as does browsing and copying files to and from the phone within My Computer, but Internet Connection Sharing doesnt...
Heres what Ive tried so far...
-Turn off USB Connections in ActiveSync (on PC, have to do this anyway or PDA complains)
-Diabled Windows Firewall (on PC)
-Disabled or deleted all other network connections and old USB Modem drivers (on PC)
-Turned off "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" (on phone)
-Tried 3 Different PCs and 4 Different Cables (all with same results)
-Yelled @ various peices of IT equipment in my house LOL
So any ideas on how to fix this?
If not then my Screen Name is living up to its meaning.
mabey the phone is not getting gprs/edge?
Make sure you close the ActiveSync when it try to start, you can do it with the X Button
or simply use the
Setting > System > Memory > Running Program
select ActiveSync and the click Stop
If you do this quick the internet connection will up if you let the ActiveSync run long enough it will set up PC to your device connection for data syncronization/transfer only with no routing to internet.
Hope this help
Maybe Your service provider does not allow you to use your data connection to share with the pc, try using pdanet that way you can syncronise and use it for ICS at the same time
