When I plug my JasJar into my PC, I get a message "Pocket PC Networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in network settings"
Please could someone with a JasJar go to Settings>ConnectionsNetwork Cards and tell me if every adaptor is set to "Use server assigned IP address" EXCEPT "Remote-NDIS Host" which is set to server assigned, but has an IP address in the lower box.
If yours is any different, please tell me what's different so I can fix mine up.
Everything set to be Obtain Automatically only... I changed only DNS entry for WLan NE2000 card.. rest all left as automatically updatin...
thanks dude!
I posted this question in the Networking Forum but got no replies. But here is my problem:
I messed around with the Network adapters settings, while trying to get WiFi to work properly.
Now everytime I connect to ActiveSync via USB, I get the error message, "Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address". I am sure this is because I set one of the adapters to "Automatic IP", but I don't know which one. Moreso, my Wizard does not access the internet properly when connected via USB.
Could someone please tell me which adapter I wronged, and what setting its supposed to be?
i get this error message randomly. jus wen i wake it up the pop up will be there, i thaught it was jus a gprs error or something.
Same here :?
i´ve been getting the same message each time i plug my phone in to sync with my pc.
But now i put a IP adress in with my Wireless networkcard settings on the phone and the last time i synced the message didn´t show up anymore. Try that maybe it´ll help you too.
edit:
ok sorry, it didn´t work. Just got the same message when i synced the phone on my home pc.

Hi, make this:
Start > settings > connections > Network cards > Remote-NDIS Host > Click Use specific IP address
Enter 169.254.2.1 for IP address
Enter 255.255.0.0 for subnet
Enter 169.254.2.2
It functions on my Wizard...

My Wizard loves to give me this error message at random too. I'm curious as to exactly where it's trying to get a server assigned IP address from, and why.

Thanx Viking. Someone had replied my post in the Networking Forum with the same IPs as yours.
Thanx again
i would check you firewall aswell, cus that would block it out if it is not setup right. My does this everytime i get a update for the firewall!!!

Enjoy I had the same problem and found this solution in another discussion...
I found that this problem appears when you make ANY configuration changes in "Network Card"((
Hi, all,
I'm having the same problem with a Universal. Would this "fix" work also on my ppc?
Thanks

Yes, it should... It's a WM problem, not a problem of concrete machine.
tried this fix but it still does it.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I did the same as you, messing around with settings.....
Anyway I think this is the procedure I did to screw it up.
Click Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters.
Then select Remote-NDIS host. The radio button to 'Use specific IP address' is selected but no IP address is entered. You can't exit this screen without either adding an IP address or selecting the 'Use server-assigned IP address' radio button'. If you select 'Use server-assigned IP address' the problem appears thereafter.
To fix it (or at least restore the defaults) you need to edit the registry:
HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp\
Change the value of 'EnableDHCP' from 1 to 0.
That fixed it for me.

Hi,
I can access the internet fine on Wifi but I cant use Terminal Services Client.
I can use Terminal Services Client when connected with Activ Sync.
What am I doing wrong?
It's a home network with a Netgear me102 wireless access point.
I have a Tmobile MDA Vario.
Thanks

Got it to work dont worry

How did you manage to make it work. I am trying to use Terminal services to access my home pc via my MDA. I am not sure what settings to use,
Under my work network I created a new connection,
Name: Laptop
Host name/ IP: specified my IP (Tried with computer name before)
VPN type: What do i select here L2TP or PPTP
When I click next I am asked to enter username and password (I guess this is the username for my laptop). I have not touched the default settings under the advanced section.
Use server-assigned IP address was selected by default.
When i try to connect after i while i get the message, unable to connect check username and password.
Please advise what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help in advance.
You don't need all that VPN crap. In fact delete the connection.
Here is what you have to do:
1) When you connect to your WiFi make sure that what you select under 'This network connects to' matches what you have in settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection->programs that connect to the network (bottom list)
'internet' = 'My ISP'
'work' = 'My work network'
2) Start the client and enter your PC IP. You should now get a windows logon screen where you can enter your user and password.
Firewall?
can you connect to remote desktop from another workstation on that network? If not then it could be a firewall and you wouldn't be able to connect with your PPC anyways...
just a thought.

To use the Terminal Services Client its under programs. Then you enter the external IP address of your laptop and it should connect if your laptop/router at home is configured correctly.
1. Enable Remote Desktop Connection
2. Forward the port 3389 to your laptops IP (Done in your rourter)
3. Launch Terminal Services and enter your home network's IP address or dns name.
Firstly, I apologies if this has been asked/covered before, I have searched a bit hence the ?
When I connect my SPV M600 which is running a HTC rom to any computer through Active Sync (AS) either with a named profile or as a guest, I get this annoying pop up message!
"Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in network settings!
I don't know why this has just recently started happening, it may have something to do with me playing with the settings, when it first started!
So I go to Settings/Connections/Network Cards and see under Configure Network Adapters 'My network card connects to: The Internet'
Tap an adapter to modify settings:
I have tried to assign a 'specific' IP address to each 'Adapter' along the lines of 192.x.x.x 255.x.x.x etc
But still get the above message.
Also if the 'My Card connects' is set to 'Work' I still get it!
