Hi, I'm a newbie who just bought an Imate Jasjam. I have been trying to use the internet via Activesync through USB. In my old ppc2002 it does so automatically, but I can't seem to get my Jasjam to connect to the internet. I type an address in IE and it loads with "connecting..." in the bottom bar but nothing happens. It doesn't even say that the page i'm looking for cannot be found. Am I missing something? Thanks for any comments.
Follow these steps and you'll be on the internet through activesync in 10 seconds. For more information you can press help(active sync) and go to connecting a mobile device to a PC, then choose the fifth help page...
1. Click Connection Settings.
2. Select Open ActiveSync when my device connects.
3. In the This computer is connected to list, select a connection to which this computer should connected when passing through ActiveSync.
at step 3 select Internet and it will work, it works for me.....
good luck..
btw.. have you search the forum before posting your msg? maybe there is a treath already for this topic
Thanks for your reply, I've done that already and it still doesnt work. Is it my ppc? because the IE doesn't seem to load properly, it loads for about 1s then just stops and nothing changes.
You should get an error message. page cannot be displayed... or something... But right now you are at work and you don't have you ppc connect through activeSync??
but at home once you connect your device to you Pc does ActiveSync synchronize normally? can you explore your device through active sync???
do you internet thorugh GPRS?
Yeah that's why it's so strange because no error comes up at all, it just stays on exactly the same page (the default homepage). I only connect at home. Activesync syncs fine and I can explore the ppc fine. I've tried changing all these different settings and disabling my firewalls but nothing!
it stays on the same page till you succesfully load another page, but it supose to give you an error... do you have other connections configured at settings/tab connections and connections?? do you see something like manage existing connections???
I do, it's on Auto pick and the other options are telstra.WAP.GSM and Telstra.WAP
Thanks for your input Alexei, I've just done a hard reset and it works now. I must have changed some setting somewhere along the line but all's good now.
I also cannot connect my phone. In connections I have only add modem conection, proxy connection and that's it. Do I have to change the network cards or something like this?
misschilli..what setting did u changed after have a hard reset
Also check any firewall to ensure it's not blocking traffic from Activesync.
The worse is connect trought BT with AS , its impossible.

I am trying to configure my XDA2 to connect to my PC and surf the internet via a BT connection. I can Sync via BT but when I try to set up my connection it keeps asking for a phone number despite me saying it is over a Bluetooth connection and my IP is broadband. Sorry if this has been asked but I did search for any info on this.

Why do you need to setup connection for since it's already connected with ActiveSync via BT? Basically once you get connection between your device & activeSync, that's all the step you did. Unless a firewall has stopped your device from accessing to the internet; if it's the case, create exception for your activeSync, and retry browsing with your device.
hope this helps.
regards.
thanks for yor reply, Each time I try to connect the the interneet on my device it keeps trying to connect via GPRS and not through my PC via BT....
Go to ActiveSync, open the options menu & go to Rules tab.
At the bottom, you will find Pass Through Conenction, make sure its set to The Internet and not Work

I'm having a similar problem and have effected the setting as above, however IE on my IIs says "the page you are looking for cannot be found". My computer connects fine and I have the same issue when trying to connect the device via WiLan, although I do connect to the network.
I've been trying to fiddle with the settings for a few days now but no success...anyone out there got any ideas.
Many thanks
I have mastered it now, I sync using BT on my device, leave it connetced, close Active sync on my XDA 11, Click on IE and the device connects through my PC, super duper.........
Thanks, this is what i am looking for now. I will try it
i can now only online with cable, not through Bluetooth connection
go into the advantage settings for connections
there you should be able to change the network back to my isp insted
of my network
bluetooth-internet
Hai...iam new here..i have got O2mini and would like to connect to internet via bluetooth...
i try using usb cable and activesync program to serve internet and its working.
...i succesfully connect my pc and ppc via bluetooth by using ppc activesync but when try connet to internet its still go to gprs..
pls help me...TQ
like i said again and again in this thread it's all about which network is picked in advantage settings under network connections in systems
I also tried to make a connection to the internet with activesync and usb. But with my mda doesn't work. iexplorer says the page you are looking for cannot be found. But my ppc says "connectivity the internet Pc connection". What are the settings on your ppc, so i can check?
Somebody help me.
test with ping
and maybe messenger to see if it's a dns issue
and if people use pocketplus they prob should make sure that it's not set to close insted of minimizing otherwise the connection would most likely be closed when they close activesync
Thank you very much. You solved my problem.

Hi everybody, I've just recieved my wireless LAN card and I'm having troubles finding documentation on how to do what I want to do. I actually want to do three things with my PDA once WiFi is working.
A I'd like to be able to ActiveSync through WiFi instead of connecting the cable. My laptop has a wireless LAN card, but I don't know how or if I need to set up a special connection between the two.
B I would like to be able to connect with my Magician through my laptop, so I can use its internet connection on my Magician.
C My Magician should also be able to connect to a wireless access point at my college, maybe I can have two network settings on my Magician so I wouldn't have to switch between them all the time?
Thanks very much from a Magician newbie .
Alright, scrap B, I managed to do that but I had to turn off WEP... If anyone knows how to keep the connection secure, let me know . But syncing still doesn't work via WiFi.
Edit: Scrap A as well, with a little bit of tinkering I think I got it done .
I can get all the items working but using my Wi-Fi network and not an Ad-Hoc.
All you need to do is go into Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> Here you select the "Internet" for both. This way you I use IE or email etc it connects into the internet and when I select Active Sync it also connects via the internet setting where it see's my "ActiveSync" running on my PC and connects. Make sure the tick box is tick against "Allow Network" in the activesync settings.
As for the Work side of things i dont have a wi-fi network but from memory once you set up the "Network Cards" on your PPC it will connect to which ever one it see's first, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi, my spectec suddenly stopped working. The list show my wifi as available but am unable to go on the net. I have tried reinstalling the driver, doesn't work. This started yesterday, I have not changed or install anything else. Could it be a faulty card or faulty mini ? My wifi is working great on my notebook. WEP is off. What else can I do ? Thanks.
If all fails I try a hard reset and only install the Wi-Fi driver and go from there.
Do a complete backup with say Sprite Backup that way you can restore your PDA back to original.
The other option is to use the modified driver from the E300 Card found in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27069&highlight=spectec+e300
But you need to uninstall the SPECTEC driver first.
Thanks ampda. Have uninstalled the spectec and will use the E300 as suggested. See how this works. Will only go to hard reset as a last resort or perhaps just wait for the universal ??? :lol:

Hellow, can you learn me how to connect active sync via wifi please ? Thank you. I have that same card
Alright, on your PC ActiveSync:
- File -> Connection Settings. I marked the USB and Ethernet options.
On your PDA:
- Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network cards. Here select the network your PDA should connect to. It should connect to "The Internet", on the tab "Network key" I have selected Open and Disabled, because I use an ad-hoc connection.
That should do it, just hit sync on your PDA !
You may have to disable and enable your wireless connection on your PC to get things to work.

On my active sync 4 i don't see ethernet options[/b]
I'm using version 3.8 and I see that option :O! Here, let me take a screenshot for you.
ActiveSync 4 has no syncing over network, it has been taken out. Go back to 3.8 if you wanna use it.

OK thank you
You know MS developers have o get AS4 ready for the WM 5.0 release because WM 5.0 needs AS4. They were a little lazy so they got deadline problems and have to take network sync out for now. They will put it back in in a future update but AS4 as well as AS4.1 dont offer it right now.
it don't ghet it to work
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.
HEY everyone....
i am TIERED of trying and searching can anyone tell me how to Connect my PPC to internet using PC...why...complicated....
but i need your help in case anybody knows....

and i have choosen the option (connects to internet) from active sync and still i have a problem...
can you please help me out...
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
there are some texts showing "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using"
and a dropdownbox
select the dropdownbox item which is not called something like "my isp"
but pick the one thats called something like "my network"
then all programs trying to access the internet will be forced to use activesync as internet connection and if activesync is not connected they will fail!
if i am reading your post right you are trying to use ur ppc as a modem to connect to the internet?
If so, use these steps:
connect ppc to PC thru usb, let activesync do it's work
on PPC go to Start>Programs>Accessories and open the Internet Sharing program
After this is done, it should allow you top connect to the internet by using the PPC as a modem. It's a slow connection, but it works

Thank you so much i know im like a pain in the (you know ) but really really i appreciate your help
it's empty it just show
add network connection
add vpn connection
setup my proxy
i use bluetooth mind you if you use usb you have to
check Enable advanced network functionality
in usb to pc though
and your pc activesync should be set to not block it
and your firewall should alow it
usually you don't need to change anything in settings to get internet with usb, try hard reset your ppc and reconnect. Also, IP in your pc shouldn't be specified (keep it automatic)

I tried to connect my laptop to the internet using Internet sharing and my blue angel GPRS connection without success. Anyone been doing this? any special configuration to be made?
1. make sure that your connection settings are correct
2. check your connection setting of your active sync (you'll find it in the options.)
3. just choose your internet sharing program in your blue angel
4. enjoy it..
regards
adri
Well i tried everything i can and still it dosent work. Can i use a different program for internet sharing than the default one that came with the rom? any special configuration for active sync?
Don't tell us "tried everything", because for me it means you have no idea what to do, so for sure you did not do the correct thing.
ANSWER/EXECUTE EACH POINT BELOW. Do not miss ANY (especially 3rd)
1. Do you want to use GPRS internet connection from you GSM operator to have internet access on your computer?
2. Does the internet connection work correctly in the PDA (you can browse websites using internet exploder)?
3. Disconnect BlueAngel from the computer. Disconnect your computer from Internet, if it has any other connection.
4. Run Internet Sharing application.
5. Choose a correct internet connection (if 2. was YES - default selection should be OK, but if it does not work, try other connections on the list, if available).
6. Choose USB connection on the 2nd list (you can play with bluetooth connection, when USB will be fine).
7. Press Connect.
8. When message shows up saying that device is ready, then connect BlueAngel to the computer using provided USB Cable/Cradle.
9. Wait, untill PC will recognize new device (Network Adapter) and test the internet connection.
If somehow this procedure did not work, pinpoint exact moment that did not work and explain what went wrong (exact message would be helpful).
