Something just went through my mind about wi-fi sync'ing. Since Activesync 4.x has removed Wifi sync, I though, why not connect two virtual com ports through tcp/ip and then sync?
Totally insecure, but who would've guess your TCP/IP port that it is a com port used by Activesync?
Anybody wants to try this out? I have no idea how to get a virtual com port available on the Pocket PC and enable the com port inside the pocket pc Activesync.
Just an idea.
sounds like agood idea how one one try this?

hi,
I can't use the bluetooth conection to surf Internet in my WinXP SP2 pc.
I have updated usb bluetooth adapter drivers (WIDCOMM) and ActiveSync to 3.8.
I know that SP2 have some problems with bluetooth.
Please, some help?
with ur magician u can only surf internet per Active Sync... the magician has no network bluetooth profile... u can connect per BT to your PC and use AS ?!
Hi ingmar
As you say, i can't' connect then magician via bluettoth with AS. The usb serial port (COM4) is configurated, and this port is set in AS configuration. But AS always interrupt the connection with a error message after a few seconds. With USB AS run ok.
Thanks for your help
Try the following:
On your PC, check the Bluetooth-manager configuration and check which com port number is assigned in your local services tab. Now, go to the ActiveSync connection settings and choose this com port and mark the serial communication check box. That's about it on the PC.
On your PPC, go to Settings->Bluetooth Settings and press the "Start" Button for the ActiveSync over Bluetooth configuration. On the pop up dialog, enable Bluetooth and delete an existing pairment with your PC! After you did this, re-pair the two devices. When finished, start ActiveSync on the PPC and select "Connect via Bluetooth ...". Your ActiveSync connection should be established at this point.
When this is done, you're almost there. If your Desktop PC has a direct connection to the net (via LAN or WLAN), you should already be able to surf the net via Bluetooth. If you connect via DialUP network or similar, you need to configure your Internet Connection Sharing on Windows (only 2000 and XP allow this i think).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If this com port is unselectable in activesync? what do we do in that case?
I have been toying around with my bluetooth for the better part of a day trying to get it to work. I have installed pocket bluetooth tools 1.0.1 as detailed here http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...9185e&threadid=544932&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 I managed to get the screen with the activesync icon a couple of times during the pairing process. When I went to activesync and selected sync bluetooth I would get a few seconds of connection and then it would automaticaly disconnect without actually syncing anything. I toyed around a bit more and have somehow lost the option to sync via bluetooth in activesync... :shock: I still see the irda option, but bluetooth has vanished. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
@elefas
When the com port assigned by your bluetooth manager is larger than 9, ActiveSync isn't able to use it. In this case, go into your Bluetooth manager and delete existing com ports (both, local and client). Go to your device manager, delete any still existing bluetooth com ports there, check your (physical) serial port and go into its properties. Somewhere there, you can choose which com port it should use. Select one, which is said to be blocked but you actually know it isn't (e.g. Com port 4). Press ok, go back into the same properties sheet and reselect the com port that has originally been selected. Go to your bluetooth manager and press to add a com port (both, local and client). Now you should have a port number less than 10. Microsoft sucks!
Having installed my BT USB dongle after I installed Activesync on my PC, I didnt have the Connection settings in my PC's BT Settings. after setting up the partnership, AS on the JJ would always say i needed to setup a partnership again.
Baffled me for weeks, but today I fixed it, and its very simple to do....
Code:
In your PC's BT settings find the Local Services BT Serial Port, note the com port, in my case COM5.
In AS on the pc make sure the "Allow connections to one of the following" is checked and set to the same com port as the BT serial settings.
Thats it!!! no incomming or outgoing ports needed on the JJ, just go into AS and goto menu and hit connect via bluetooth, off it went and sync'd up, no questions asked.
This is very pleasing to me and I can now fix my work lappy aswell, which is where this will be really useful.
Yes yes it works. I was spending 2 mins connecting over BT every time i wanted to use AS.
Thanks.
i do it but nothing of nothing
THANKS A MILL!
after many days trying to get this to work, i finally got it nailed, keep up the good work guys
Big problem with Activesync by Bluetooth on JasJar
Hi,
I have already read more forum on this question.
I have e problem trying to connect by bluetooth to ActiveSync.
When I pair my JasJar to PC not appear the service ActiveSync, but Serial Port.
Therefore ActiveSync, on JJ, can't connect to my PC.
I have already configure ActiveSync on PC to connect on right Com port.
Please help me, i have lost some night to try it.
I have successfully synched my T-Mobile MDA to two WinXP SP2 laptops (Thinkpads)(office and home, not exchange). The problem I have is that I can't get a connection to re-establish after sleep mode. Specifically, I have to shutdown the PCs and reboot, then all works fine. The need to reboot really limits the value of a bluetooth sync.
I'm using an Airnet USB bluetooth connector.
Some specifics. When the PC wakes, the bluetooth connection doesn't exist. As a result, activesync loses the correct com port as an option. But this will eventually update once the bluetooth connection is accomplished, and then I can open activesync settings and select the correct com port. Even with this setting correctly chosen however, when I then select activesync/connect via bluetooth on the MDA, I get the error message that the com port is not available, would I like to connect to another device? This means the correct com port is not available even though activesync is expecting to connect over the correct com port. I think this means it is the win xp bluetooth manager that is the problem.
So I see something called Widcomm discussed in the forum. Does someone who has used it know if this is a potential cure for bluetooth connections through sleep mode? Is there another solution?
Hello all,
I am looking for an application that will let me connect to a com port on my phone and transmit its data via TCP or UDP (I dont care) to a windows computer via active sync or wifi to another software that will replicate the opposite action Basically making another com port on the windows machine.
Basically I want to take com4 from my ppc (wm6) and map it to com4 on windows pc. Do you think I will have to make a custom application to do this?
Hi,
I have a new X1 with the original ROM.
I am trying to connect the phoneto my PC but it is not possible.
I find the PC if I search on the phone. Then I try to connect but I have only two services to select. FreeSpeaker and Network.
And if I try to search on my PC I have only two services available on the phone. (Network Access, Object push and voice gateway).
But I can´t transfer files from the PC to the phone. Can´t create an COM connection (a COM port is already configured on the PC) and it is not possible to connect with Active Sync.
Something is going wrong.
Does anyone know what it can be? I have Win XP SP2 with integrated bluetooth.
