Localhost/127.0.0.1 bug in WM5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have recognized that there is a problem when an application
in WM5 wants to connect to a local port on the device.
The problem occures with Pocket IE and ActiveSync
when connected to GPRS.
This does work under MM2003 without any problems.
Any experiences with this?

Can´t connect my wizard with active sync 4.1

hello people
i´ve got a problem with my Activ Sync...
If i want to connect my wizard with my Notebook nothing happend.
i don´t know what´s the problem, because at the beginning there are no problems, but after a hard-reset there´s no connection.
Sorry about my english, it isn`t very good (i´am german ! But I hope someone helps me ...
Here are some informations about my system: Win XP with Active Sync 4.1 and a VPA compact 2 :?: :? [/b]
I have had similar issues with ActiveSync before, and usually what you will end up doing is reinstalling the ActiveSync version that you have on both your laptop and your Wizard. Are you getting any messages at all when you dock your device? Does ActiveSync display a message saying "Trying to connect" or "Looking for device"?
thanks...
the problem was a hub. i had a hub between the wizard and the laptop. without the hub the connection is possible and the problem isn´t there.
but on my desktop, (no hub between desktop and wizard) there´s the problem still existing. the desktop try to connect and search a connection, but... there isn´t any connection...
Troubleshooting ActiveSync is a pain, isn't it? OK, I have a couple of things you can try...hopefully one of them will work...
1. If you have a firewall running (and yes, believe it or not Windows firewall can even be an issue), it needs to be configured to allow ActiveSync applications to work. For that, you'll need to consult the software provider's manual or their web site. Most of them have already identified this as a problem.
2. If you have partnered to this desktop before, make sure that the partnership names haven't changed. In other words your laptop is calling your wizard by the same name as your desktop.
3. Are you running a home network? I think I saw this in another post here, that VPN clients can be an issue because the computer is viewing your mobile hookup as a network connection. Uninstalling the clients can sometimes provide the cure.
I hope that this helps.
shaker,
please ensure you have XP Service Pack 2 on both machines.
ciao!

Activesync Problem

Can anbody help me on activesync problem for my WM5 machine Dopod818Pro?
After connecting with my device, program kept 'Connecting' without localizing the partnership with my company laptop? I have already turned off Sygate firewall, but it was not successful to install Partnership!!

Probably a port issue
You probably need to open up specific ports that Activesync is using. They are listed on threads here if you search.
same problem....and i have no firewall running.
MDA vario connection is not working
MDA Pro is working well
I have already solved the problem by disable Sygate Firewall software used by my company.
But how can I synchonize the device with home Desktop and company Laptop together? Both of them need not to synchonize all of the data.
Thanks!

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!

ActiveSync stuck in "Connecting" phase, then it ca

I have a problem with ActiveSync (or with my Qtek 9000, who knows): when I connect the PDA to the PC through USB, the PC detects the PDA, ActiveSync goes into "Connecting" mode, and then.. nothing. It says that it can not connect.
I followed several troubleshooters on the Internet, but the symptoms still remain.
Perhaps it's a software problem on the PDA. I'd love to perform a hard reset, but I must synchronize first (it's been 2 months since I can't synchronize, and I have done quite a bit of appointment and document entry on the PDA).
So.. what should I do?
I can connect the PDA to the Internet through WiFi and GSM 3G. Should I run a backup program, transfer everything to a FTP site, and then hard reset?
If so, which backup program should I use?
Is there anything I can fix on my PC to make it connect to the PDA?
What is your advice?
THANK YOU!
I have exactly the same problem when connecting via a USB cable to my home PC. Connecting to my home pc via bluetooth works fine and connecting to my work pc with a cradle works fine.
I've tried using different USB cables, different USB ports and have two Qtek 9000's with exactly the same problem on the same PC. I've tried re-installing AS 4.1 and 4.2 and both fail to sync with the cable.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My Qtek 9000 used to connect and sync on this computer. In the last 2 or so months, this hasn't worked. No idea why!
Are any of you using the app "USBSwitch"??
For some reason, ActiveSync is using settings for a serial connection to connect to your PDA. USBSwitch will allow you to set the connection as RNDIS, which will allow you to connect and sync.
You can download it here -- http://forum.parallels.com/thread2743.html
I had the same problem with my Cingular 8125, and then found out that HTC included the USBSwitch app into the latest ROM upgrade. Has been working fine ever since I found it to switch over.
I had similar problems with my Qtek 9100
My problem was my firewall (Sygate personal firewall (SPF)) which did not allow me to connect via USB.
If I turned SPF of it worked.
My current firewall, NVIDIA Firewall, asked me if I wanted to allow the USB connection to my device. When allowed everything works fine.

Activesync bluetooth internet problem.

Hello!
The internet on Touch HD does not work over Activesync bluetooth connection. There is no problem over Activesync USB connection.
I use Windows 7. Tried to disable windows-firewall and COMODO-firewall, no result. I also tried to reinstall bluetooth stack (toshiba), no result as well.
It synchronizes with my laptop, but i can't reach Microsoft Exchange server because no internet is found on the device.
There was no such problem before i made hard-reset on the device.
Does anyone know how i can fix it?
Thank you!
settings->connections->connections->advanced-Select network
choose my network or whatever it's called on your setup rather then my isp
or whatever it's called on your setup then it use bluetooth activesync to access network
Thank you! But it did not worked...
