oops sorry i posted in the wrong forum...

Hi,
One thing to check -
On activesync on your PC select options - rules , make sure you have selected your internet connection in the connection drop down.
I dont remember having to change any settings on the device ...

thanks again for any help

Hi Tony,
I definitely didn't set up a proxy server on my XDAII, so I'm pretty sure its not that.
Have you got a connection set up to use the GPRS connection on your XDA - under start - settings - connections tab - connections . I have a connection called 'My ISP' , which when I click on 'manage existing connections' has the modem set to use a GPRS connection. Again I don't remember setting this up, so it may be something O2 install from the rom. Try a reset and see if it picks anything up.
One thing I would suggest you do get when you are using GPRS is some sort of traffic monitor. I use Spb GPRS monitor (via Handango) and its well worth a tenner.
Hope this helps

Hi i just got my XDA2 today and I too can not get onto Internet through Activesync and pc just tries to call up on gprs
I have tried the above suggestion still no luck
Can any one help

I can connect to the Internet from my XDA II via the ActiveSync connection on my desktop PC. The connection was configured automatically by the XDA II when I first synchronized it with the desktop PC. The XDA II even automatically configured the proxy server setting to the one I use at the office.
Go to Start->Settings, select the Connections tab and click on Connections. On the Connections window, there should be two connections listed on the Tasks tab. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Select Networks button. On the Network Management window, the first drop-down list should have your GPRS connection selected and the second drop-down list should have your ActiveSync connection (My Work Network) selected.

Thanks Jargon got mine working now

Just follow the same directions I have already given. But instead of selecting the missing "My Work Network" connection, create a new one by pressing the "New..." button below the second drop-down list. Name it "My Work Network". Then select the "Proxy Settings" tab and check the "This network connects to the Internet" checkbox. Click on "OK" to close the window.

Internet Over Bluetooth Network

Hi,
I have wrote this wiki document and I wish someone gets his device connected to the "rest of the world" over a bluetooth connection.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
FYI..
PS: Nice fiddling around..

Hi Subzero5
Great post , almost what I need .
I have the XDA11i and want to access the net via a blue tooth modem , which I plug directly into the wall socket . So far i have hit a big blank .
Any thoughts , can get the two devices linked but no further , cant get the XDA11i to tell the modem to dial ?

Hi from a newbie. I've just bought the TyTn11 and would like to use bluetooth to access my laptop's internet connection. Part 1 of your instructions were easy enough to follow but part 2 confused the hell out of me - not least because I don't have a Network Cards icon from Start > Settings > Conections >. The TyTn is running WM6 if that's any help. Any pointers would be greatfully accepted

it's
Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox which is not called something like my isp or such
usualy the 2th item

Thanks Rudegar, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I'm trying to get Internet over bluetooth working on my TyTN with WM6.
I've got bluetooth network access point configured on my Linux PC so part 1 is done.
In part 2 I've successfuly configured IP and DNS for Bluetooth PAN driver but I can't find the option "Join a personal network" in my bluetooth settings.
Actually I'm stuck in part 2 point 6 as there is no <u>Bluetooth Manager</u> link under bluetooth settings.
Any advice?

also tryed something like Rudegar said but there is :
"select a modem" (cellular line, cellular line(gprs) , generic IrDA , hayes compatible on com1 ) , tryed with com1 but it asks user / password / domain ...
i just dont know what to do, help...

How about two pocket pc's?
I'd like to connect my bluetooth-enabled e800 through my hx4700,but there's no "connection sharing" that I can enable.Is it enabled automatically?

thankx mate for info but i have htc p3300 Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select networkit show only ( 1 my work network)(2 my ISP)which i should connect????

Hi,
I can't find out how to access this on a HTC Touch (Elf). Can someone please help?
Thanks

SubZero,
I not sure if you're instructions are correct.
From you wiki page-
Part 2: Setting Up Your HTC:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Conections > Network Cards. This option doesn't exist!
2. Tap the adapter named Bletooth PAN User Driver. You will now see IP Address tab selected in the Settings.
3. Select Use server-assigned IP Address.
Could someone who has done it on thier HTC diamond please check this?
Thank You

How to Sync over wifi?

Hey guys, anyone have an idea how to activesync over wifi with the prophet? I know activesync 4.1, which came in the box, does not support this, so i tried downgrading to 3.8, but activesync 3.8 wont recognize the device even through USB.
Any clues?

WM5 won't work with ActiveSync 3.x; it requires 4.x, which, as you've found out, doesn't support sync over WiFi.

Found this on Modaco if it will help.
1. Enter Network Connections
2. Create a new connection
3. Select 'Set up an advanced connection', click next
4. Select 'Accept incoming connections', click next
5. Click next on 'connection devices' screen
6. Check 'Allow incoming VPN connections', click next
7. Select all users which will be using this account
PPC settings:
1. Go to Settings/Connections/Connections
2. Select 'ADD A NEW VPN SERVER CONNECTION'
3. Enter the IP Address of your PC or its network name, select IPSec/L2TP and click next
4. Choose 'A pre-shared key' and enter some number combination (ex: 123456)
5. Enter user and password of desktop computer.
6. You're finished, enjoy!
Note: in case you have a firewall installed on the computer, you will need to change Activesync rules in firewall settings to allow connections to all IP addresses to default 169.254.2.2 address.
Pay attention that your PPC is setup as MY ISP/Work in CONNECTION settings.

it keeps returning "vpn server problems. verify your username etc..."
I'm trying this with an ad hoc connection. Could that be it? i know my username is fine...

Great, got it set up. Now how do I get activesync on my ppc to connect to the pc over the vpn?

Dudes
I wouldn't bother with this. As far as i can remember from the modaco thread no one got this to work!

XDA forum is different. Here the impossible can become possible, if some of the great minds here put their minds to it...
Cheers!

Using th Prophet as a GPRS Modem??

I've searched through the forums and haven't found anything regarding this specifically... does anyone know if we can use the Prophet (I have JAMin) as a GPRS modem? I used to use my Smartphone for this and would really like to use my new Prophet, but can't figure it out. The only time my laptop recognizes the hand-set as a modem is through Bluetooth and even at that doesn't allow a connection through Dial-up networking.
I would like to connect through USB... or by any means for that matter at this point! Help!

Yes, you can use the Jamin as a GPRS modem.
Instructions for setting this up thru USB and BT are at the bottom of the page.
http://www.imate.com/t-DEVICEMANUAL_JAMMIN.aspx

Please could you post the details as I can't see the site due to not being registered.
I own a Prophet too, but not a Jamin. Would love to know how to use it as a modem.
Thanks!

Pretty much copied word for word from the iMate document. However, I did do some editing as the original doc referenced screen shots that obviously aren't here.
1. From your PC's Windows desktop, double-click on the Bluetooth icon within the System Tray (Bottom Right Hand Corner of the screen).
2. This will open the Bluetooth Devices screen. Click on the Options Tab and tick the ‘Turn discovery on’ checkbox.
3. Tap on the COM Ports Tab and click the ‘Add’ button.
4. Select the Incoming COM Ports Tab and click the ‘OK’ button.
5. Click the ‘OK’ button.
6. On the PC’s System Tray in the bottom righ hand corner of the screen, right click on theActiveSync icon and select the ‘Connection Settings’ option from the pop-up menu.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
Uncheck the ‘Allow USB Connections’ checkbox and tick the ‘Allow connections to one of the following:’
From the dropdown list, select the appropriate COM port relevant to your PC, as shown in step 5 above.
Click the ‘OK’ button to conclude the COM port configuration for Bluetooth ActiveSync.
7. On the JAMin, the Bluetooth ActiveSync connection pairing attempt is made by the following steps.
A) Tap on the Comm. Manager icon in the bottom right hand corner of the Today screen.
B) Tap on the Bluetooth icon and select ‘Bluetooth Settings…’
C) Tick the checkboxes.
D) Tap on ‘New Partnership…’
E) Select the appropriate BT device from the list, then tap Next.
F) Enter the Passkey.
8. On the PC, a balloon appears above the System Tray, prompting the user to authorize the PDA’s Bluetooth access attempt. Tap on the balloon and then enter the same Passkey/PIN as was input into the device and press the Next button is clicked. A confirmation of completion screen will then appear.
9. On the JAMin, the ActiveSync Service needs to be confirmed by ensuring the check box is ticked and then tap Finish. (I don't remember if you need to manually start ActiveSync via BT after this. If you do, just open ActiveSync on the JAMin, tap on Menu then select ‘Connect via Bluetooth’)
10. Once the Bluetooth ActiveSync link has been established, the final phase of configuration is required. On the PC, you should get a Synchronization Setup Wizard window. Press the Next button.
11. Choose the relevant options that need to be synchronized between the device and PC, from the list, and then click the next button.
12. The ActiveSync Settings are saved.
13. Synchronization of the appropriate information types then occurs with the Exchange Server and PC as defined in step 11 above.
14. Click Finish.

for the ppc to detected as a modem you have to start the modem link. make sure you do not have active sync usb enabled. then with the disk in the drive of the pc enable the modem link. the pc will detect new hardware. then install the drivers from the cd rom.

Driver installation is driving me crazy!
I hope that someone can help me out because my problem is driving me nuts!
I have all the drivers on a CD as well as stored locally (unpacked, etc). Now, when I activate the modem link and the Laptop finds a new hardware, I am not able to install this driver (it says the device is unknown, while it should say HTC Modem (or something like this)).
So, I guess the problem is that the laptop does not know which drivers it should install. How can I install the driver without going through the setup wizard??
Any ideas?? It really seems a very simple process and I feel I shouldnt get stuck on this very first step.
Thank you for any advice!

thanks whyhon, these were the instructions I followed. Everything is ok now (the modem mystrially installed after a few attempts) and the laptop is now hooked up to the s200.
The last problem I am facing right now is that I can not connect to the internet. I have tried quite a lot of different settings but I am not able establish an internet connection.
What else could I be doing wrong?

Are you dialling to GPRS using the USBModem_Dialer.exe?
Try using window XP build in dialer.
Start> connect to > HTC USB Modem (WirelessModem)
>Click properties
In the option tab, check "promtp for name and password"
Then dial using your operation's name & password.
Make sure you enable the Modem Link (USB) in your WM5.
Suprisingly, i able to connect at 230.8kbs using my Prophet.

thanks whyhon! I have tried to connect this way or with a dialer.exe.
The problem is that I am able to connect the prophet to the laptop (230.4kbps) successfully but I am not able to open any internet sites. When I check the connection I see that I am sending packages (or data I guess) but I am not able to receive anything.
I have tried a lot of settings and followed instructions very thoroughly but I can not get this connection working for the life of me.
I am about to give up on this one.
Would I be able to simply dial to a connection like AOL by using airtime minutes? Or is that also a mayor task?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank yoU!

No one has an answer to this one?? Sitting at SF airport and would like to use internet via laptop rather prophet... Please perhaps anyone can suggest a remedy? It seems to be working fine for other people so it must be something simple to fix in my configuration. Thank you guys!

Yes, I know your problem. Either you have not set the APN in the dialer to the correct server, or your mobile provider requires a proxy server for all http requests.
In the latter case, you can assign the proper proxy server in IE options to be associated with this particular modem connection.

I believe that the APN settings are correct.
I havent tried the proxy server settings in IE though.
Now, how do I assign a particular proxy setting (I guess IP address and port #, right?) to a modem only??
I appreciate your help!!

Solved: Network connection when in cradle

Not sure why it's not working, but until yesterday (when I was still using Windows 2003SE on my XDA2S) my XDA2S made a network connection as soon as I put it on the cradle. When I used IE to access a website all was working fine.
Now when I try to do this with my just new flashed WM6 setup, I can not get it to work.
My router does give IP's out (with DHCP).
I've even tested it with a fixed IP (same range as rest of LAN) and gateway in the NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver (start > settings > Connections > Network Cards > "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver"), but also with no luck.
The main OS that I'm using is Vista, but I did not change a thing in this.
(firewall off)
Doing a sync of the PDA is no problem, and I can even see my other PC's on the LAN when I use Resco Explorer's > "My Network".
Wifi is also working fine.
When I ping the PDA from Vista by "Device name", I do get a reply back, but the IP shown is not one that should be in my LAN.
It's 169.254.2.1. My LAN is all in the 10.0.0.1 / 255 range.
Anyone here who might know what I'm doing wrong?

i got the same problem...on my wm5 i wass entering my network with wi-fi but im not very good knowing networks...so maby someone who can solf this can tell us..
regards

Same problem here!
This is no help to you but I have the same issue
On WM2003SE I only had the 192..168.0.x IP address, now on WM6 I get them both
This seems to cause conflict when I try and update RSS feeds whilst cradled, any ideas anyione
And yes I have read the Wiki to no avail ...

That is correct.
With WM5/6 and ActiveSync, the BA is given a private IP in the 169.254.2.x range, and ActiveSync acts as a bridge between the rest of the network and the phone.
Your router will not hand out an IP to the phone when it's connected to the computer via USB. WiFi is a different situation, and would get an IP from your router assuming it associates with your wireless LAN.
Look under:
settings -> connections tab -> connections control panel -> advanced tab -> select networks button
Make sure that "programs that automatically connect to the internet" has a network selected that has the 'this network connects to the internet' box checked under proxy settings.

Thank you for your reply jdc,
Unfortunately this did not work for me.
I've got under the Connections > Advanced [Select Networks] the following:
- My ISP
- My Work Network
When I hit the My ISP [Edit] button I end up on the Modem settings, and I see only my GPRS connection.
The only two tabs available at the bottom are General and Modem
When I hit the My Work Network [Edit] button I end up in the Modem tab.
Nothing is in this. Other tab's that I see are General, VPN and Proxy Settings.
In the Proxy Settings I do see the "This network connects to the internet", and I'm able to select it.
Problem is that as soon as I hit OK to close "Settings" and go back to the settings again the "This network connects to the internet" is un-selected again.
I'm about to give up on this project.. Who needs internet anyway when the PDA is in the cradle..

Googling for 0x80072f78 does show a lot of info, but till now no fix for me.

I had the same error, and i fix it with change this registry:

Understood, and in Vista AllowLSP can not be found anywhere in the registry (it must be an ActiveSync 4.5 setting).
To go back to XP for only this, is a no go for me..
Thank you for your help.

From this forum:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
it looks like the reg patch is working on vista home premium as well.
You can try it, and revert back (delete registry entry) if isn't working.

Looks like the patch is manually adding the "needed" AllowLSP.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Yes, and now with the new WM6 and the "skin" than I'm using it does look new again.
Only problem that I'm having now (not related to this topic) is that sometimes I can not get WiFi to go on.
It does turn on, but right away off again also :/
Whatever way I try to set it to on.. No luck.. And than all of a sudden it's fine again..

Old problem since WM5, switching wi-fi on is tricky sometime. Has also happen to me on WM2003SE; probably the wi-fi driver isn't the best part from BA.

Thanks!
DANDANA - I'd have your babies if only I didn't hate children, thanks for the tip, it works perfectly!
XdaIIs - the WIFI thing is known about and somewhere on the forum there is a workaround. Sorry, I've lost the link :-(
Thanks again, I'm a happy bunny now!
