Hi all,
When I connect my universal to the pc, and enter the password on the computer, I look over at my Universal and on the screen is an error saying:
"Cannot Connect
The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
It's pointing up to the GPRS (in and out arrows) icon when this happens and I'm wondering if it's trying to connect to Exchange via my USB connection and not be able to? It is syncing, so perhaps it's syncing with my pc and not Exchange?
Anyhow, I've tried to figure this out myself and can't. Does anyone have experience with this error or symptom?
Best,
Mark

Hello,
My MDAII has been a stellar performer until recently. The active sync process has been working since the initial connection to the host. Now when I try to active sync, I get the connection sound on both the host and the MDAII. Then a Communications Error box with the white X and red circle comes up stating "Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Remote Networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 635). I tried a soft reset, hard reset on the MDAII, re-installing active sync on the host and still the same error. I tried upgrading the firmware on the MDAII but the process failed for what seemed to be the same type of error. I tried connecting the MDAII to another host and got the same problem. USB and Irda present the same Comm Error dialog box. It would seem there is a hardware problem in the MDAII. Any ideas from the wise gurus on this forum?
Thank-you for your time in reading this. Michael Peters.
PROBLEM SOLVED, APPEARS TO BE A NETWORK ISSUE
New question posted in second post.
I've searched the forums and the internet extensively without any help so here I am, asking for the community's help.
I can activesync just fine (ActiveSync 4.2) and am able to connect to the internet just as well from my Wizard via WiFi however I am unable to access the internet from my Wizard via ActiveSync passthrough.
I have selected "This computer is connected to the internet" in ActiveSync and, when viewing my network connections, I see the ActiveSync connection is in working order (IP address: 169.254.2.2).
I am unable to connect to the internet as well as my LAN because I tried pulling up my router's web interface in PIE only to receive this error:
"Unable to connect due to an unknown error [some crazy error number]."
I'm unable to connect to the internet with any application (tried sending email, updating pocket weather, egress, etc).
I've also uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync.
I haven't always had this problem and I can only think of two things I've done in the interim: I'm at a different house thus my desktop connects to a different network and I've installed (and subsiquently uninstalled) HitchHiker b.41.
Anyone have any ideas?
it is a network issue..
EDIT: I'm ridiculous.
After trying it out at work, I'm left to assume that the problem is a network issue (I'm able to connect at work).
This, however, brings me to a different question. I currently have four network connections set up: Blank, MEdia Net, My Work Network, My ISP. I have "Blank" set as the connection to use for both programs that connect automatically to the inernet as well as for those that connect automatically to my work network EDIT: this is my problem ... I had to set up "programs that connect to my work network ..." to use the work network connection (obvious?) I always assumed this meant programs that would only be accessing my work (I.E. a VPN client).. My question is that in order for me to connect to the internet from work, I have to add my proxy settings to the "Blank" connection. Adding them to the "My Work Network" connection does nothing. This leads me to believe that setting the "This computer connects to ..." dialog in ActiveSync accomplishes nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I'd like to connect using my work proxy while I'm at work and no proxy while I'm at home (is that too much to ask) but, apparently, selecting the appropriate value in the "This computer connects to" dialog in ActiveSync isn't enough.
Hi everyone,
When I sync my 8125 phone's email (corporate exchange server) it syncs fine when not connected to the usb cable, meaning wirelessly over the air OTA through the Cingular GPRS network.
When I connect it to the usb cable, it tries to sync, then a window pops up on the phone saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings, tap here to change your settings"
I'm not sure anything has really changed. I then upgraded to active sync 4.5 but message still pops up on the phone & I get an active sync error saying it couldnt connect to the server.
it used to sync fine through my pc when plugged in, now all of a sudden i get this message.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton!
You must have installed a personal firewall or something.
That happened to me as well ( or you upgraded Activesync beyond 4.0, that's when AS is regarding your USB connection to be an ethernet port with IP on it.
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.
I decided to start a new thread about this since the other one never got a response.
Have you guys tried this? I am not getting any connection at all unless I disable
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality, BUT once I disable it too just to, I get intermittent PC connections, sometimes it will connect, sometimes it wont with activsync giving me an error.
With it enabled, I see where the problem is, it cant seem to get a good IP address, please refer to pic below.
Help an1?
Possible solutions
First off a few questions. Since you say "ActiveSync" I assume you have a version of Windows XP (Pro or Home). The first thing to check when you try to connect your phone is to make sure you disable your firewall or to create a specific rule that will allow the OS to interact through the virtual network to your phone (in my case, Win XP and Outpost Firewall, I had to allow NetBios over this network and to allow all access for activesync software).
Now, the second thing:
The IP address does not matter that much. Either if it's 192.168.0.2 or the one you posted is the same thing. I have a TyTn and ActiveSync gives me a similar IP address to the one that you have, so it should work for you too.
You mention of an error. Is this an error on the PC in the classical sense (Message box with red X and only an OK button) or is it something that appears on the PDA? If it is the first case (PC error), please post a print screen of it so we may see what we are dealing with...
If it is the second case (error on PDA), the most common problem with Internet passthrough (via ActiveSync on USB Cable Connection) is this:
hxxp://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
On that page you can find a link to a .REG file that should be run on the PC. After that you should have a working Internet connection on your PDA (at least this was the case for me).
Sorry for the long reply, but your post was not very detailed.
Cheers,

Hello thanks for your reply,
I am using winxp Pro on my desktop and winxp home on my laptop. I cant get internet passthrough on both devices.
I use NOD antivirus and windows firewall. attached below is the exceptions rule activesync is included.
as for the error:
I only get the error on the PC if I have this disabled on the PPC
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
The error also does not happen all the time. But putting this error aside, it also gives me internet pass through. But because of the occasional errors, Id rather turn:
Settings>USBtoPC>Enable Advance Network Functionality
That on.
