Hi,
I have installed ROM 2.17.7.6 FRE.
When using EDGE, I do connect to the Internet with IE, but whenever my mobile to my laptop connected to the internet, the Wizard cannot access any site at all.
What does the connection status show when you tap the network icon on the top taskbar where it also displays the network info and signal strength?
The attached shows my MDA II's status when it is connected to my PC via USB and ActiveSync. Your display may differ since the Wizard uses WM5.
Hi Triband81
Does not say anyhting regarding internet connection over the PC. Just shows the network I am using (Orange).
Should I modify a setting somewhere for this?
OK that's certainly interesting. My guess is that it is somehow related to your ROM. I haven't used WM5 so I don't know if you have also make some changes to the ISP configuration settings under Menu --> Settings --> Connections Tab -->Connections (this is how to get to that menu in Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition).
On the ActiveSync Box when connected with USB.
Click FILE > Connection Settings
and make sure that for the setting "This Computer is Connected to:"
is set to Internet.
Had this problem before and when i changed that to internet, it worked.
Hope this helps
It works!
Thx rxr! That was it.
Cool,
thanks for the heads up, rxr. I'll remember to check there if I should have any problems.

Hi everybody, I've just recieved my wireless LAN card and I'm having troubles finding documentation on how to do what I want to do. I actually want to do three things with my PDA once WiFi is working.
A I'd like to be able to ActiveSync through WiFi instead of connecting the cable. My laptop has a wireless LAN card, but I don't know how or if I need to set up a special connection between the two.
B I would like to be able to connect with my Magician through my laptop, so I can use its internet connection on my Magician.
C My Magician should also be able to connect to a wireless access point at my college, maybe I can have two network settings on my Magician so I wouldn't have to switch between them all the time?
Thanks very much from a Magician newbie .
Alright, scrap B, I managed to do that but I had to turn off WEP... If anyone knows how to keep the connection secure, let me know . But syncing still doesn't work via WiFi.
Edit: Scrap A as well, with a little bit of tinkering I think I got it done .
I can get all the items working but using my Wi-Fi network and not an Ad-Hoc.
All you need to do is go into Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> Here you select the "Internet" for both. This way you I use IE or email etc it connects into the internet and when I select Active Sync it also connects via the internet setting where it see's my "ActiveSync" running on my PC and connects. Make sure the tick box is tick against "Allow Network" in the activesync settings.
As for the Work side of things i dont have a wi-fi network but from memory once you set up the "Network Cards" on your PPC it will connect to which ever one it see's first, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi, my spectec suddenly stopped working. The list show my wifi as available but am unable to go on the net. I have tried reinstalling the driver, doesn't work. This started yesterday, I have not changed or install anything else. Could it be a faulty card or faulty mini ? My wifi is working great on my notebook. WEP is off. What else can I do ? Thanks.
If all fails I try a hard reset and only install the Wi-Fi driver and go from there.
Do a complete backup with say Sprite Backup that way you can restore your PDA back to original.
The other option is to use the modified driver from the E300 Card found in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27069&highlight=spectec+e300
But you need to uninstall the SPECTEC driver first.
Thanks ampda. Have uninstalled the spectec and will use the E300 as suggested. See how this works. Will only go to hard reset as a last resort or perhaps just wait for the universal ??? :lol:

Hellow, can you learn me how to connect active sync via wifi please ? Thank you. I have that same card
Alright, on your PC ActiveSync:
- File -> Connection Settings. I marked the USB and Ethernet options.
On your PDA:
- Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. Here select the network your PDA should connect to. It should connect to "The Internet", on the tab "Network key" I have selected Open and Disabled, because I use an ad-hoc connection.
That should do it, just hit sync on your PDA !
You may have to disable and enable your wireless connection on your PC to get things to work.

On my active sync 4 i don't see ethernet options[/b]
I'm using version 3.8 and I see that option :O! Here, let me take a screenshot for you.
ActiveSync 4 has no syncing over network, it has been taken out. Go back to 3.8 if you wanna use it.

OK thank you
You know MS developers have o get AS4 ready for the WM 5.0 release because WM 5.0 needs AS4. They were a little lazy so they got deadline problems and have to take network sync out for now. They will put it back in in a future update but AS4 as well as AS4.1 dont offer it right now.
it don't ghet it to work
When I installed AS4.1 at first I could not ge connected. Until i found out AS4 now uses TCP/IP for WM5 devices (like my Wizard).
The newly made network connection on the PC was there, but nothing was ticked (TCP/IP/ Client for MS networking / File sharing). Ticking all boxes did the trick. I was pleased.
To my suprise then when i started a sync, the rest of my applications could NOT get to my network. Nothing.
My Wizard could get to the network / Internet (via AS) however.
I then found out that just ticking the TCP/IProtocol (and leaving Client for MS networking and Filesharing unticked) gave me the right combination: Sync and still have network.
Are you changing these settings on your Wizard or your PC?
in the pc as i think
I looked at the PDA network settings on my computer and they are already checked but it still drops off the network when I plug in the USB cable. Do I have to change anything on the Vario as well?

Hi, I'm a newbie who just bought an Imate Jasjam. I have been trying to use the internet via Activesync through USB. In my old ppc2002 it does so automatically, but I can't seem to get my Jasjam to connect to the internet. I type an address in IE and it loads with "connecting..." in the bottom bar but nothing happens. It doesn't even say that the page i'm looking for cannot be found. Am I missing something? Thanks for any comments.
Follow these steps and you'll be on the internet through activesync in 10 seconds. For more information you can press help(active sync) and go to connecting a mobile device to a PC, then choose the fifth help page...
1. Click Connection Settings.
2. Select Open ActiveSync when my device connects.
3. In the This computer is connected to list, select a connection to which this computer should connected when passing through ActiveSync.
at step 3 select Internet and it will work, it works for me.....
good luck..
btw.. have you search the forum before posting your msg? maybe there is a treath already for this topic
Thanks for your reply, I've done that already and it still doesnt work. Is it my ppc? because the IE doesn't seem to load properly, it loads for about 1s then just stops and nothing changes.
You should get an error message. page cannot be displayed... or something... But right now you are at work and you don't have you ppc connect through activeSync??
but at home once you connect your device to you Pc does ActiveSync synchronize normally? can you explore your device through active sync???
do you internet thorugh GPRS?
Yeah that's why it's so strange because no error comes up at all, it just stays on exactly the same page (the default homepage). I only connect at home. Activesync syncs fine and I can explore the ppc fine. I've tried changing all these different settings and disabling my firewalls but nothing!
it stays on the same page till you succesfully load another page, but it supose to give you an error... do you have other connections configured at settings/tab connections and connections?? do you see something like manage existing connections???
I do, it's on Auto pick and the other options are telstra.WAP.GSM and Telstra.WAP
Thanks for your input Alexei, I've just done a hard reset and it works now. I must have changed some setting somewhere along the line but all's good now.
I also cannot connect my phone. In connections I have only add modem conection, proxy connection and that's it. Do I have to change the network cards or something like this?
misschilli..what setting did u changed after have a hard reset
Also check any firewall to ensure it's not blocking traffic from Activesync.
The worse is connect trought BT with AS , its impossible.
Ok well i have been connecting my 8525 via Bluetooth PAN for a little while now for internet connection in my car computer. But all of a sudden it doenst work anymore. IN the internet sharing it says that it is connected and on my computer it says its connected but i cant load any webpages. When i double click the bluetooth connection on the computer it says that data is only being sent and nothing is being received. It also says that the signal it very strong... What could be the problem? O and the phone has a connection via 3g...
The latest "official" 8525 ROM has a 'Proxy Manager' where you can enable/disable the AT&T Proxy. Ensure that it is disabled, the proxy won't work on a WiFi or LAN connection. If your ROM has this, it will be listed under Start | Programs.
Otherwise, ensure that you're not using any other proxies.
Also, look at the Activesync settings on your PC, some older versions of Activesync have a setting to disallow the PDA access to the network.
Hi,
I have a HTC S710 (Vox) and a laptop with Ubuntu running on it.
When i connect the smartphone to my laptop with USB, it shows up as a Generic RNDIS device and connects.
If i run zaTelnet pro on the phone and SSH to the ip of my laptop (on the USB network device), i'm able to connect.
But when i put the same ip address in the address bar of Internet Explorer on my phone, it says i can't connect because my 'internet connection is not configured', i guess it wants to connect through wifi or something.
Btw: I have apache running on the laptop, so i want to get the webpage from my laptop on my phone through usb connection.
Thanks,
Rubberducky
Bump?
I've also restarted the apache server after i connected the phone, no difference.
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
choose my hone network or something like that not being your isp
in the dropdown box's
Sorry to sound stupid, but i can't find connections->connections.
I've gone through all available items in the connections menu, but there's nothing with an 'advanced' option?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
well i don't own a vox
but all devices with wm i've used
i open the start menu
i click settings
i click the conections tab
i click connections icon
i click advanced tab
i click select networks button
and i get a window with the 2 dropdown buttons
Are you sure you're not talking about a pocket pc?
It's been a bit since I had my smartphone out (blackjack), but I think there are options for the connection in pocket ie. Check the menu and see.
I've unchecked the autodetect setting setting, changed the connection to Internet, Work, WAP, Secured WAP, none work...
Any other possibilities?
