I have done as best a search as I can of this forum but I have not found an answer to my problem.
I have an O2 MDA mini S and until recently all was well and I had no problems at all using Internet Explorer to connect to the internet through my WLAN. However, last week I had to do a hard reset and rebuild the machine. Since then Internet Explorer will not connect through the WLAN and gives the following message. “Cannot connect. Ensure your phone is turned on and correctly configured…..” WLAN is working fine, AvantGo updates over it as does SBSH Pocket Weather. PIE will connect via GPRS but when at home why pay O2 good money! I have tried various things in the connections, network cards and Wireless LAN folders. This is becoming very frustrating and if anyone out there can offer help or advice I thank you in advance and will be most grateful!!!

Hi there,
Don't know if this is even possible I've read all the articles I could find here and tried Microsoft web pages. If you can help ill most appreciate it.
(Apologies if this has been answered please let me know the link...)
My internet connection (at home) is via NTL cable, My 4 pc's connect to the internet via a Linksys router, each PC has a private IP address along the 192.168.1.x subnet which NAT to the router for internet access - all transparent.
I do not have a proxy server at home, connection is established because each PC uses the router as a gateway for internet access.
My XDA2 refuses to talk to the internet via Activesync. I can confirm that my handheld connectiviy text bubble says that the internet connection is pointing to the PC connection. the paramaters in Active sync passthorugh are set to internet - But it just won't work.
I even tried configuring the proxy option to the routers address no avail.
The XDA wants to keep defaulting back to its GPRS connection.
At the moment I have disabled the phone completely to stop it dialing out whilst I am testing.
I'm out of ideas can anyone help !!!!!!!!
I managed to fix this problem. I set up a personal proxy server from
http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/ its an excellent proxy only 815k in size and its intelligent enough to understand NAT'd IP addresses etc for connections to routers.
All I had to do was to configure the XDA 2 work profile with the proxy server address then the internet passthrough worked fine.
For Bluetooth access (I use a D-link USB bluetooth adapter). I had a problem getting the XDA 2 to launch the bluetooth connection under the activesync. I used the excellent pocket bluetooth tools
http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?h...t+bluetooth+tools&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8,
after installing this the connection worked straight away with BT internet access as well.
even though i upgraded to the new O2 rom for the xda2, i still had problems until i resorted back to the bluetooth tools, so i have internet via bluetooth gondle to my adsl. But the internet speed on my xda2 is still damm slow, perhaps its limited by the bluetoot connection speed. (my adsl is a 1mb line plus a netgear wgt624 wireless router connecting my laptop to the internet. any idea how i could get a better speed?
also what i like to do is able to access all shared files on the network or on my actual laptop from my xda2. activesync lets me browse from the laptop, but i can use the xda2 to browse the laptops files. any idea how i could do that? the laptop itsself has a 802.11g connection and an assigned ip address, but i guess that has nothhing to do with the bluetooth connection. so has anyone got any suggestions how i could access the files? some detailes guidance would be extremely welcome. thanks.
Hi I am new to this forum, and like the person above am trying to find a way to browse files on my PC through my XDA2 (i-mate).
I am connected via bluetooth to my PC, activesync is working fine this way, as is internet browsing on my XDA2 using my PC's internet connection.
All I wan't to do is be able to sit away from my PC and get files from it to the XDA2 via bluetooth.
Apparently using Resco File Explorer and a wi-fi connection you can set up a network with your PC, but when I try this with Bluetooth it doesn't work - surely bluetooth can offer the same file sharing - just slower???
Please help us if you know a way!

I have my laptop connected to a router with a Linksys wireless connection. I use Ipass VPN to get through to my work e-mail.
When I install Activesync4.1 it stops me getting access in Ipass. I have tried all options I can find in this forum but with no luck.
Activesync itself works fine when installed.
I have checked with somebody else at work who uses AS with a wired connection and it works. This isn't an option for me.
Try to change your network binding setting, move your Wireless Connect to the top
you can do this by Control Panel > Network Connections > Advance(from the file menu bar) > Advanced Setting.
Hope this helps
I actually have a very similar issue with my MDA. Basically my laptop's onboard Wireless B/G cannot connect to the router when the MDA is connected. I tried your suggestion and now the MDA won't connect. Seems like it's one or the other
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? This is the only issue that I have with my device. Whenever I connect it, I lose my wireless internet on my laptop. If I'm on a wired network at the office, I lose internet access but can still access the intranet. Any advice would be appreciated.
This has nothing to do with wireless. Its the ActiveSync 4.x network install that is not done properly if you have a vpn client running
I had this too
Solution:
Once connected via activesync open network connections
There is a new network connection there then for the WM5 device
Open properties ans de-select all listed items except TCP/IP.
Worked for me
Thanks for the response. I had found your suggestion previously on another board and tried it without success. I'm suspicious that the issue may be the Dell networking control software on my laptop getting confused. As soon as I connect my device, my wireless automatically turned off like it's found another network. I was hoping someone else who's had this problem has been able to solve it. I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
Thielsa same with me. unchecking all boxes didn't work and I'm using an IBM laptop.
Did find something on a microsoft newsgroup and it seems to be a known problem that hasn't been fixed yet.
Not having activesync is the only downer for my wizard though quite a big one doing system restores all the time
not done any testing on this but I use 4.1 and vpn in via wirless.
Try establishing your vpn connection first and then launch outlook. Then connect the device to the pc (via cable).
From memory it seems to be the outlook bit that gets around the problem for me.
I've pretty much narrowed things down to the wireless connection control on my dell laptop. I've been able to get things to work fine now on my wired connection. I looked at the log from my wireless controller, and when I attach the Pocketpc device it reads a wired connection and turns off the wireless. I think that this is specific to laptops (dell only?) that have automatic wireless controllers. Hopefully someone will find a solution to this as it's the only 'bug' I have left on my device.
Love the forums everyone, first time poster here. I have the T-mobile MDA which I have flashed the 2.26ROM along with many applications (thanks to these forums!).
My last wish for my PDA Phone is to be able to Activesync over the Internet back to my workstation at home (I was able to do this with a previous Sony Clie PalmOS, thought it would be easy with WM5). I was optimistic in hoping I could do this over T-mobile's data network, but VPN'n does not seems to work well over that data connection.
So (after establishing a vpn server at home with my Server2k machine) I attempted to connect to my homeVPN over a Wifi, which worked! I thought I was half way to getting to remote Activesync, but that is about as far as I could get.
I used this site:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/WM2003/WM2003PPTPVPN.html
To help me connect my Wizard to my home VPN (obviously not the XP settings but the equivalent to Server2k ones). The trick was to use the two different network settings, T-mobile data for Internet requests and My Work Network (Wifi) for private connections.
From there I used the Activesync 4 specs from this site:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x-firewall.htm
To adjust my internal network settings to try and either port forward activesync to my workstation, or somehow channel those ports into the VPN tunnel going to the Wizard. No luck...
Has anyone been able to connect WM5 to home thru a VPN and do a Activesync remotely? I really could use some help/ideas with this.
Thanks a ton!

On a quick side note...everytime I reset my unit it re-creates the "My Email.lnk" in Start Menu/Programs. I like to keep my Start Menu more organized so I have the link in another folder but every reset it keeps appearing! How do I turn this off? Or how can I automatically delete that file when the OS starts up each time? Again, thanks!
hi all...
i just purchased a mda vario 2 and i seem to be having problems connecting to internet explorer and msn messenger via wifi. i have set up the wifi connection and it all shows that i am connected. but it just doesnt find any pages or connects to my messenger. any ideas guys? i know most of the topics on here are to do with some form of connection problem or what not.... so i will appreciate any advice.
settings->connections->Connections->advanced->sellect network
odd ms havent addres'd this a long time agoe judging for how many people who ask this question
but then guess it's the same thing for pc users who wanna change between their internet access between wifi, nic and modem
I don't think that this is the issue because my wm5 os seamlessly switched from wifi to gprs.. I see the same issue where I can access the new through the gprs setting but not through the wifi when connected to an access point. I know that the wifi accesspoint works cause I can access it on my laptop. I think it has to do with a registry setting..
Apologies if this is in the wrong area. I have spent alot of time researching this issue and im yet to find a resolution. I am working in area with a strict SOE on the dekstop PC. I have an O2 XDA Atom. with activesync 4.5 I am using GPRS to connect to the internet on my o2 this is working fine. however the problem occurs when i dock the O2 into its cradle. the GPRS connection will cut and i wont be able to reconnect it. I have changed the properties of activesync and my O2 between 'my work' and 'the internet' to no joy. I realise i can do this by turning off accept usb connections in activesync but then i cannot control my O2 with the software installed on my machine..
what i want to be able to do is run MSN on my O2 continually all day and be able to view the screen from my desktop along with it syncing my calendar etc. if there is any articles which can help me that would be good ive been trying to resolve this for some time now to no avail.
Thankyou in advance
Same problem here..As I am using the my mobiler apps to control the phone via computer..The gprs is disconnected if i plug the cable data...help pls
