Having a i-mate Jasjam, but facing a problem from last two weeks. Problem is that when i connect the pda with laptop with a usb, activesync starts up, even connects and keep synchronizing but nothing is synchronized at all and receives the following error on pda "Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later on enter an IP address in network settings". I am running XP SP2.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just a slight issue. Everytime I connect the Exec (via USB) to the computer it Sync`s quite happlie (files get updated etc). However after a minute or two the Exec pop up a window with this message
Pocket PC Networking
! Unable to obtain a server
assigned IP address. Try again later
or enter an IP address in Network settings.
Why is it asking for Network when I`m using USB ?
Any ideas ?
Also anyone get this error " This device has no bluetooth hardware" normally only appears after the bluetooth has shut itself down and I have to manually start it again.
Latest O2 rom on O2 Exec running default programs in corp mode.
New with Activesync 4.x
With Activesync 4.x (to support WM5) the USB connection runs TCP/IP. Bluetooth and IR work just as before. What is unusual in your comment is that I had understood that the Pocket PC is the DHCP server and it assigns an address to your PC, not the other way around.
Nonetheless if it syncs each and every time then count yourself lucky, because for a number of us there are some serious issues, especially if you are running a personal firewall on the PC that is other than that included in XP. Other issues have been documented and a search using your favourite search engine or at the Microsoft knowledgebase will reveal them.
Hope this helps!
Might not be the same issue but you may find my post in this topic of use

any ideas what is causing this message. wifi works fine so i do not think it is that.
any thoughts or help would be great
Thanks
Do you have DHCP Enabled on the internet connection of your PC? Or do you have static IP address?
Nope, not sure why, i get this sometimes when i try to conenct to a wifi hotspot that has no encryption but static ip address of a weird range
ICS was turned on my dial up connection at work. i have disable this now. lets see if it solves the problem i will leave it a couple of hours and then up date the board
Thanks

Hello every1
Hope you all had a happy easter.
I have a slight problem since upgrading my Qtek 9000 to the latest rom.
I always get this warning when I open my Qtek 9000.
The warning says:
Unable to obtain a Server - assigned IP address. Try again later or enter a IP address in Network setting.
Does anybody known whta is causing this warning an how to stop it.
I'm not using any software that has to connect to the internet.
The push mail I have not set it up because I do not known how.
Can sameone be kind to tell me how to disable this warning because it is driving me crazy.
I do not get any anther problem since installing the new rom it has not crashed my pda now for over a week I'm a very happy bunny, just what this warning to go away.
Thanks

I got the same kind of message (not only with the latest ROM), when I connect my Pocket to my PC through the USB cable and ActiveSync, even if everything was working fine (network and internet).
If you check the network properties from both the PC and the Pocket, they are all in "got an IP automatically" status.
The PC is allocated 169.254.2.2 with Pocket (169.254.2.1) as DHCP server.
The Pocket is allocated 169.254.2.1 but by who?
I also noticed that when I am connecting the pocket to my home PC and my work PC, the pocket is having always the same IP address.
Then by changing the "Parameters/Connections/Network Cards/Network Cards/Remote NDIS Host" to specify address 169.254.2.1 (Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0), you can connect to your PC without any such message.
Hoping this will help :roll:
PS: I am not sure about all English translation, because my Pocket is in French!
Yes, just playing around with this and having issues with 'pass thru' on another USB/AS4.1/RNDIS related thread.
Am using those same settings, and it gets rid of the 'Pocket PC Networking' popup.. but it is certainly having issues when in pure USB (ie. no wireless anywhere, no cell etc.) and attempting to use PC's USB dial-up broadband..

???????
Remote NDIS Host, is used only in "pure" USB connection.
In wireless connection, it uses tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet. No ?
I've recently run into a problem with activesync. When I connect my spv m5000 to my PC, activesync starts up, and the familiar 'retrieving settings' box shows up. But that never goes away, and after a while, I get an error message on my m5000, stating that
'no IP adress could be obtained from the server. Try again later, or provide a specific IP adress in the Network settings.'
Now, I remember changing the setting in all the 'Network devices' list to 'obtain Ip automatically' a while ago, and I remember that on specific item was set to a fixed IP, but I can't remember which device it was, nor what the IP was. Can somebody check and tell me?
i have the same problem and i get this error message when i connect to wifi too. i think it drainsmy battery when it tries to obtain an ip. how do i fix this?
Try 169.254.2.1 .
BTW, did you read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=555&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ? It explains the why's.
Sorry, which network card should i assign ito? Is it the Asyncman miniport? please advise. thanks!
I'm having the same problem, have searched a lot and can't find a solution. My M5000 syncs well at home, but not with my laptop. There are no firewalls, it always hangs on the 'Retrieving settings' pop up. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I've been having a problem for the past week in that I could not connect to my Exchange Server or passthru to the Internet with and ActiveSync connection.
At least for the moment, on the Connections menu, clicking on "USB to PC" and disabling "advanced networking functionality" seems to have resolved the problem.
Anybody else run into this?
And what is this advanced networking, anyway?
I've also noticed that Sprite Backup would fail with it enabled, so it seems I've solved two problems at the same time...
i had that issue as well the work around i did was connect to my wifi connect my device to my pc sync then disconnect my wifi
still a pain
I've always just connected straight to the server over GPRS/UMTS. I haven't even installed Active Sync on my new PC.
hi Folks,
i have the same issue with Active Sync. I am using Active Sync for syncronizing emails, contacts etc ... I have discovered if you installed the device (hardreset) then you may able to sync with the exchange for the first time. After that you are not longer able to sync it.
I used different ROM's (Dopod, Qtek,O2) all have the same problem. I am not able to sync over Active Sync (4.2 latest and prior versions) with my exchange server. I need to sync over 3G Network and thats a bit expensive over the time with O2.
I think this device is more than incomplete since i am using a Wizard too and i have no problems with the same pc on my Wizard device.
I hope there will be a ROM update really soon that covers many issues discussed in that board here...
At least i am really disappointed about the device which HTC sold over the market.
Hi
On mine this works! - nevertheless i am using the IP adress - could be a hint for you guys
BR
Daniel
do you mean the IP address from the Exchange Server? Or do you pair your device with static IP addresses? :?:
Well ...
I got mine to work after i discovered that the proxy server i placed under gprs connection denied the connection to the exchange server. switching all to MyISP resolved the issue.
If you use a firewall try to look which address the RAPI Manager tries to connect to. Maybe that helps for you to solve your error.
Hi
I use the IP adress for the exchange Server name. The connection Between laptop and device is negotiated automatically
