I've had a hunt thorugh the forums but can't find an answer on this one...
When I attach my SPV M600 to my PC via a USB cable and ActiveSynv kicks in all looks well - all my synchronisiation works like magic.
Unfortunately I cannot then use internet explorer on my PC - it can't connect to the internet.
I presume my PC thinks it should be using my phone to connect to the internet - is there a setting I've missed to sort this out ?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
It seems this is something to do with ActiveSync 4.1 using TCP/IP to connect.
My internet explorer seems to be using the new lan connection to attempt to reach the interent.
Anyone any idea how I stop it doing this ???
Turned out to be my Internet Explorer's connection settings.
I'm set up to use an automatic configuration script (on my PC at work) - if I change this to use a proxy server all works ok...

i have just bought a netgear wifi router and i can not get it to work. does anyone know of a guide to set it up?
RE
Hi!
Netgear haa a very good forum for its products. You can try there for better luck
i found it no help!
getting there now. well i can acess my computer via resco file explorer.
just now need to set the internet up
2 questions,
Do you need to set up the router ? Or do you need to set up your ppc ?
prob both,
i can browse my desktop pc wirelessly using resco file explorer but i can not use the internet.
so it still could be both, i still can not connect to activesync, probably if i can do this i would be able to connect to the net as i can when the blue angle is docked

You might want to down load vxUtil from http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html with this util you can most likely find out what is wrong. You should not need activesync to connect to the Internet, **IF** your router connects to the Internet.
To activesync with the PC you will need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the PC. Then you'll need to be able to PING your PC by name. And both the PC and the PPC need to be using the same DHCP server, and in the same network.
As you can reach your desktop, have you set both settings to "Work" or some form of this on your PPC, and checked just "This network connects to the Internet" under proxxy settings for the work connection? Each version of the PPC OS seems to change the names here just a bit.
I have searched everywhere (here and on other sites) and it seems like if I tell the activesync to pass through to the internet, I should have internet on my pda when connected via usb...
This is not happening! I went through all options and used a few troubleshooting things that nobody seems to mention (like ipconfig from the ppc msdos console) and I can't figure this out at all!
I am using a wallaby (siemens sx56) plugged into my laptop, which is wirelessly connected via home network into cable modem. I put every .exe file in the program files/activesync directory on the "pass through" list of the firewall.
When activesync connects, all looks normal unless I try to get online via ie (from the pocket pc). If I go to the ppc dos prompt and try ipconfig, it reads me back 192.168.55.101 as the ip address, and 192.168.55.100 as the gateway. These are not close to my network settings. It can't ping my laptop and my laptop can't ping the ppc using the above address.
What am I missing??? I am using xda-developers operating system and activesync 3.8 on my laptop. PLEASE HELP!!!!
ps. I am planning on getting a wireless card for the ppc - might I still have this problem when I try to connect using that too??
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
wallaby's SD interface dont support SDIO which are wifi and well everything but memory SD cards require
so getting wifi will not help you
activesync have some settings related to sharing the connection
so theres no way to get this thing online (except pay for cellular service or <supposedly> through usb cable)?
That sucks!
Anyway, as for the usb thing, I looked through activesync on my laptop and the only thing i could find is where it should connect to (internet or work). I tried both with no results. Is there anything I'm missing?

I used to be able to access the internet on my MDA Pro when connected to my laptop via activesync.
Now I can't!!!!
Could anyone tell me how to do this & the difference between work and internet settings?
Thanks
have you selected the pass through function in activesync?
work allows the use of VPN connections as it is expected to use names for the machines you are going to connect to. thus disallowing the use of "." in addresses.
internet allows the use of ".", but connecting a VPN connection is difficult over it. in order to use "." vpn connection addresses over the internet, you have to start placing exceptions in to the connections advanced section.
you should set it to Internet to allow the internet pass through feature.
hope it helps and is clear enough. if you need further clarification let me know. i just had to setup my wifes 2 days ago, and i can back track how i did it if necessary.
another question with same content.
use PC as a bridge for MDA (connected via BT or cable)
PC connected via proxy to the i-net.
on MDA the IE works fine, Opera doesn't.
any ideas??
greets, Ben
sorry dont use opera at all.
does it work with IE?
like I said before:
IE works fine
Opera not.
Hi guys!
Is it possible to surf the web with my Jam using the internet connection of my desktop pc (in office with lan connection and in house with dial-up!)?
Yes it is, you need to setup activesync over bluetooth however or activesync over Wifi with an add-in card.
There are a lot of guides around on how to do it with bluetooth!
Well!
With only the USB cable is not possible?
Yes it's possible with AS via USB. I've been doing it a long time ago. I don't really surf but I use it to update currency and weather in WorldMate Pro.
zerimar, can you explain me how can I do it please?
There's nothing special. As long as there's a working USB connection between the PPC and AS, open your browser and type in the url.
... not quite yet!
You have to go to connection settings within AS and set "this computer is connected with" to "internet"
then you can surf with your mdac via usb

I don't see what you mean coz I didn't need to do anything in AS Connection Settings.
Hello,
I dont think you need any extra settings to be done. Just have your PC connected to the net and Synchronize your device with active sync and open Pocket ie...Thats it i do!

Carty..
I know what he means cause i got the same problem, one of my 2 pc connections (one work one home) the work one has a corp lan proxy. ive got only one application that can connect thru the firewall which is Egress RSS reader.
is there anyway to give the proxy link plus username and password like you can in egress to the connection details on the phone or within activesync somewhere?
ive seen on other forums people asking the same thing.
Anyone know how to setup the Network Connection so that I am not using GPRS for Internet while the USB cord is connected to my PC with Internet connection.
At the moment I have to set it to GPRS to get any connection.
Basically I want the internet connection to go through my computer internet and not the phone company's GPRS settings.
Thanks.
Fix for Activesync Internet problem
I am assuming that your problem is that you are unable to connect to the Internet using your Atom Exec when it is connected via Activesync/USB
Just download the attached LSPValue.txt file into your computer. Rename it to LSPValue.reg. Double-click on it and reply yes to apply the setting to the registry. Reboot your computer and re-attach your PDA. Internet access should now work.
cannot run internet explorer in atom
Help! I couldnt find my internet explorer in the programs. I think I have accidentally erased it... Is there a way I can download mobile internet explorer?
