Sometimes IE and Messenger connect to the net without a problem through ActiveSync.
Sometimes they don't.
I checked the usual stuff. PC ActiveSync alows connections to the Internet, fresh soft reset, latest ROM, etc. etc.
It simply refuses to. Next day I sync and bang. It works!
Today it's a non working day. BUT OPERA surfs with no problems!!! What the heck? Some back door just for Opera?
I noticed that sometimes my connection is set up with a proxy (from office) and IE refuses to connect at home. It's just a matter of removing the proxy access.. (BTW anybody knows how to automate this?)
I hate these unpredictabilities!!!!
What am I missing here?
Might be a firewall issue between your computer and your usb connection.
I don't think it's a problem with a firewall, have you tryed to select "Work Office" or "The Internet" in Activesync on the desktop?

I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:
Jon
At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.
Jon
Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.
Jon
I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !
Jon
Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope
For the last two days, when I connect my K-JAM to a computer, ActiveSync connects. After a few minutes, GPRS connects, but not really.
ActiveSync looks like it is syncing, but it is not sending any records. Email accounts are not updating because it isn't really connected to AS or to GPRS, so neither works. I can also use PocketController (which uses ActiveSync) and I can explorer the K-JAM during this time.
This happened when I first got it and I don't remember how I fixed it.
Any thoughts?
Once connected to the Pc you wont be able to access the net via GPRS on your wizard. Regarding the problem of active sync not actually doing anything, have you ever performed a successful sychronisation, if not it could be that your firewall is interfering.
Do post a follow up and shall see what further can be suggested.

Yes, I have been syncing for a month with the K-JAM.
Unfortunately, that is the problem. I am not trying to connect to GPRS, I would rather use AS when connected tot he PC. It looks like it is connected to both, but in reality it is connected to neither. I have to disconnect, turn off the GPRS (which starts working when not connected to the PC) and then reconnect. I can then sync and within a few minutes the GPRS comes back. And it stays in the "in between" mode where neither connection works.
I don't recall installing anything new...doesn't mean I didn't though...perhaps something that is set to connect but isn't smart enough to use the ActiveSync connection?
It does that on my work PC and my home PC, so I am assuming it is something on the K-JAM and not something in the PCs. Both are running AS 4.1.
I know I had this before and did somethign to resolve it...but for the life of me I can't remember what I did.
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.
Howdy,
I bought an HTC Touch a month ago to replace my iPaq 2490. Everything about it works great except for the desktop passthrough feature that lets me connect to the internet when cradled to my PC.
With my iPaq, I could plug it into the cradle, open up IE, and surf to any website with the desktop passthrough feature. I also had an application that would download RSS feeds to my device when connected. Both of these features no longer work. The error I get when trying to use IE to connect is this: "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again".
The funny thing about this is while connected to the cradle with the HTC, I can check my POP3 email accounts without any problem. It also connects and updates my weather plugin, so there is an active connection, it just doesn't seem to work through Internet Explorer. Anything that uses IE to connect to the internet fails.
I've downloaded the Opera Mobile browser and I am able to connect to any website when cradled. Unfortunately all the RSS programs I know of use IE and therefore still cannot connect to update my feeds.
I don't believe it's Activesync related because if I plug in my old iPaq, the desktop passthrough works perfectly. I don't know if there's some place on my HTC to tell IE to use my desktop passthrough connection or not... I can't find it anywhere.
I've done everything I've read from various posts on the net, such as:
- Changed connection type from "Automatic" to "Work Network"
- Added the AllowLSP registry setting recommended to fix a similar problem
- Tried it on Windows Vista with WMDC without any success.
- Tried it at home without any firewall
- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in the USB to PC setting on the device.
- Uninstalled Activesync 4.5 and reinstalled from scratch
- Done a hard reset of my device twice.
If I connect via GPRS or Wifi, I can use IE without any problems.
You guys are a lot smarter than I on these things so I thought I'd give it a shot and post to see if you've got any helpful advice.
Thanks,

This is happening to both mine and my wifes phones (both Tilt 2's-ATT data) with our gmails setup on the phones with imap settings. Connecting to her notebook or mine kills the email checks. Both running the stock WM6.5 roms with spb mobile shell 3.5, which seems to disable minila.
The errors reads, "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
Upon clicking on settings, MEDIA NET, This connection is preconfigured. It cannot be modified.
As for the rest of the settings in there, i dont fool with them or else i may lose more than this one issue.

Are ur phone is independently configure for gmail..?
are u trying to connect with pc and again sync mail of outlook/gmail with pc..?
If above is happening please stop one of above activity.
If nither is happened then please reinstall all your usb mobile drivers and try to connect through bluethoot.
I think The reinstall is nesesory because there may driver conflict so.
-Pratap
Check your connection settings in ActiveSync and make sure the "Allow wireless when connected" is ticked.
Gmail is configured independantly on the notebooks. I did all the settings manualy in the phones and also the notebooks. The sync settings we use are ONLY for contacts of outlook. Neither notebook has bluetooth, so that option is out
Allow wireless, on the xp notebook is checked. My notebook is down due to power cord failure, which is a vista system, and i will not be able to check that one until i get a new power cord.
Yesterday i was using the wifes notebook (xp) with my tilt 2 connected with usb cable and i wasnt sync'ed to it. It was connected and i could browse files on the phone, i could even browse internet pages with the phone, or connected to messaging servers via IM+, just cant check email.
I dont beleive i have anything installed on the phones that is going to create any type of network conflict. I just dont get why gmail cant go out to the internet to sync when connected to a pc, even if it is not sync. It was the same problem on my notebook if i was sync'ed or not.
