Can't connect to the net via Activesync

Any tips? I'm sure I have everything set up perfectly, but it just won't download any web pages. Is there something i'm missing?
I can download my e-mails fine (Hotmail, and IMAP) but can't get any web pages open using eather IE or Opera.
Cheers

Try disabling proxy on your GPRS/EDGE connection first (take note of the settigns first). I haven't been able to do anything using Activesync Passthru.

It was allready disabled.
I've just done a hard reset, and it still won't connect with a fresh Activesync connection. Any ideas?

ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
Under options in ACTIVE SYNC---you have to have THIS COMPUTER CONNECTS TO INTERNET .

Thanks, but it's allready ticked.
Anything else?

hi!
Use tweaks2k2.net or any other program that enables the browser pass as IE 6.0.. just try

ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
I've also had problems if my OUTLOOK inbox is set to my POP MAIL ACCOUNT (YAHOO). When I check outlook mail for some reason it connects.
Also--what are your connection settings to get to INTERNET for your GPRS and WORK settings unrelated to active sync?

I don't get what you mean. What will this do?

hi
Well, matheprat im just guessing if this is right... but i have encounter this problem wherein i can't load any web page on my ppc..theres an option on tweaks2k2 where you can chage PPC IE as IE 6.0 Well It will not totally chage but it will make your browser pass like an IE 6.0.. just try and let me know if you've done it

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing the above, and there's no change, I still can't connect. Every time I connect the PPC to Activesync I get a message saying that it's unable to find a server assigned IP. Ive tried using a specific IP (my computers), and leaving it to obtain one from the server, but neither work. When it was connecting before, i set it to obtain an IP from the server.
I also can't update the weather info for SPB Pocket Weather, but I can check e-mails (hotmail and IMAP), and sign into MSN on the device.

For anyone having problems with activesync - my solution...

Okay - I was having no end of problems connecting to Activesync and syncing to Exchange (local desktop would work ok), sometimes activesync on the desktop pc would stay at 'connecting' other times it would try to connect, but fail with error code 80072efd or 0x85002003. I also kept getting the error message on the PDA - unable to connect with your network settings (or something like it...).
After a couple of days trying to get it working (and occasionally succeeding after hard resets etc) I started investigating...
So, I checked a few things... Activesync 4.X uses a Remote-NDIS host on the PDA to make an IP based lan-type connection to your pc. Check your settings in
Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters
for the 'Remote-NDIS Host'.
Mine had been set on 'Use Specific IP Address'. Change this to 'Use Server-Assigned IP Address'
Now check that it says ' My network card connects to' and that work is selected.
Now check Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Connections'
and check that the proxy server states - This network connects to the Internet' and that there is no proxy server specified.
I don't know if this will sort any issues out for anyone else - but it worked a treat with mine, so having spend days trying to get it working I thought I would share my horribly annonying experiences!!!
Hope it helps,
Liamo

on secoind thoughts - this has caused me more problems... grr I hate activesync - ignore my babbeling....
If I sort it properly I will post again..
i'm off to eat some apple-humble pie.

Okay,
so I uninstalled version 4.1 of activestink and installed the latest version 4.2. I created the pairing and hey presto - it's synching again.
Yup - it's great fun.
ohh, I also hard-reset in between 'cause I was annoyed!!!
;-)
liam

this worked for me.
i too faced the 'spinning wheel' problem with active sync.
i figured out that it was the configuration of the desktop or laptop and not the wizard as such.
1. after connecting the USB, i cud see messages like RNDIS device ready and all.
2. after this click on the lan icon in the taskbar of desktop. it displays all the lan connections. select the one that is for windows based mobile device.
3. in the properties for this lan connection, in general tab, check the box for Internet protocol.
4. In the advanced tab, click on settings for windows firewall.
5. check if activesync is added to the exceptions list. if not, check the box for activesync. click ok.
this should solve the problem. i sometimes have to do each time i connect thru usb.
hope this works.

hey guy i also had the same problem and although the first post was somewhat helpful, i still had to take an extra step in order for activesync to connect properly.
1. after changing to " Use Server-Assigned IP Address" in the connections tab i then had to:
2.go to the "usb to pc" interface and uncheck "enable advanced network funciotnality"
thanks for this post - i couldnt get my activesync to woork for the past 5 days

Activestink 4.2 won't even start on my computer :lol:
I don't really need it anyway :roll:

Anyone got stuck when Activesync keeps "Retrieving Settings" endlessly ???

You should make the activesync on the phone a serial connection instead of a ndis connection, this cab helped me:

great man! i tried everything and this really works. thanks a lot

You're welcome
It was driving me crazy the first day I had my wizard.
you can also use a registery hack:
use your favourite regeditor;
change
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\“DefaultClientDriver“=“RNDIS“
into:
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\“DefaultClientDriver“=“Serial_Class“
Erase:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“
do a Soft-Reset.
check after the reset if a:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been made for serial communication otherwise it won't work.

How can I run this cab if I can't use Activesync? (My PPC (MDA Pro) is in a vanilla state)

in my case was easier because i was able to copy on the ppc but i couldn't copy from it. trry to load it somewhere where you can take it from with your phone.

I've tried d/ling it from here but It doesn't save as a cab file.

This is the trick I found out:
Connect your phone, wait till activesync starts.
Run taskmanager on your pc and kill:
WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
Go to your explorer (again PC) and doubleclick:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\wcescomm.exe
Activesync will run now without errors (but doesn't sync!).
click on explore, copy the cab to the phone.
Disconnect the usb-cable, start the cab on the phone.
Reboot the pc, reconnect the usb-cable and activesync will sync again

I've make the registry changes but after soft resetting, no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been created. Can you please post the contents of that reg key so I can put in manually otherwise is there something else I need to do to get the key created?

I have also had a similar problem with my computer and my Qtek 9100 not "finding each other" properly for a sync over USB ince the day I bought it over a year ago. Haven't been too bothered with it, as I've synced via BT instead (which works perfectly).
Still, technology that doensn't work properly seriously anoys me. Having tried all other available and suggested solutions I stumbled across the-equinoxe's recepie of reg-changes. After following the instructions I also ended upp with no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ for serial communication.
Therefore, I would like to repeat sunseakers call for help... Could anyone tell me what the contents of that entry is supposed to be?
Thanks for any help!

...i don't know if this will work for you, but i attached mine usbreg...

Thanks Krinkie.

ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!

I've been trying for days to connect to my laptop and the file above 'rndis to serial' finally did the trick... I'd read elsewhere about turning off your firewall etc, in the end I'd uninstalled all my firewall, anti spyware and antivirus programs...
Thank god for everyone here at XDA-developers... there wasn't anything useful on the Microsoft site.

Internet via USB/Computer Inet Access

Hiho,
Somehow I dont manage to get into the internet thought my USB Cable and the Computers Inet Connection, allthought I have set the option in Active Sync (4.5 Beta)...
Do I have to do additional things?
Using Jesters 3.3 AKU ROM...
Greets
Oliver

Well my friend to tell the truth,I tried doing that for 2 days (since I bought my little machine) and still can't do it...When my brother had Qtek 7070 I just pluged in and Internet worked...But now...well,troubles...PLEASE GOOD PEOPLE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP US WE WOULD BE GREATFULL...Greetings!

I am not sure if there is something specific for the 3.3 ROM (or any other custom ROM) but here is what you normally do:
First, make sure that in Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network selection->Programs that connect to the internet use...
you select 'My ISP'.
Then in PC side Activesync->Connection settings (right click the tray icon) select 'This computer connects to' -> 'The internet'.
Now make sure all firewalls are off or check MS site on how to allow ActiveSync for your firewall (this includes XP built in and 3rd party firewalls).
Hope this helps.

Sadly no success....

Prob with Internet connection
Hi everbody,
i've got a problem with my xda neo too. There is no way to use the pocket internet explorer or the wheater plugin from www.pocketnavigation.de, but icq works. There is no possibility to use the net via ActiveSync (4.5) or via W-LAN. But on both connections i could ping the device.
It seems that there's a problem with the device, but i don't know, where i should look to solve the problem.
Please Help!!!!
Karsten

I had the same problem with my O2 XDA Neo. It manifested as "error report NoXXXXXX" when I try to open the page in PIE.
Recently I find an Registry Add that solved my problem. Download to desktop and add it in PC registry (not PPC)
Hope that will help!

TomTom 7 - Windows Live Issue?

Hi all,
I have the X1i on Vodafone, standard ROM, with the latest update via the SE update manager.
Windows Live is installed by default and all features, the email, contacts, messenger work fine via 3g/gprs (not wifi - but thats another thread!)
however - as soon as i install TomTom 7, (TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab is the version I have) I can't connect at all to any Live services, all I get is the error message saying
"there's a connectivity problem. make sure you are in an area with good reception and try again"
Even if i uninstall TomTom - windows live still refuses to work, I had to do a hard reset to get it working again
even though i have full reception - is anyone having similar issues?

I'm having exactly the same problem after i installed tomtom 7! it happend to me a couple of months ago and the only way i managed to get it workin again was to hard rest, however last time it happend i didnt have tomtom7 installed. i'm hoping there is a way to sort this out as i have just got my X1 exactly how i want it and dont fancy a hard reset and having to do it all again! As last time there was no relation to tomtom 7 maybe theres some settings somewhere that has been changed during the installation?
Anyone have any ideas??

Installing the 7.45 version caused problems with my phone. The 7.915 is working great!

Check your Settings-->Connection-->Connections-->Advanced, Select Networks button.
I've found that Windows Live ignores the connection used for "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
WL seems to be hardcoded to use the default connection group "My ISP".
Irritatingly "My ISP" connection setting group doesn't have a tab for "proxy", so you can't use it for corporate networks, or GPRS networks which need a proxy server
The only way I got it to work was to set "My ISP" to contain GPRS modem connection settings (w/o proxy), and to set the proxy settings under "My Work Network".
I then started to use BeeJive IM - NO connection problems, and you can use it with multiple chat channels e.g. GMail Chat, MSN, etc.

Mail via WLAN only?

I really searched hard, but couldn't find any solutions, neither in a german forum.
My TD2 can use the wlan for internet via topaz' integrated opera without a problem. But if it comes to adding mail accounts, I am not able to choose wlan as the connection to download / send mails (yes, all access data are correct, it's only that I can't choose wlan as connection). Due to obvious reasons, I don't want to use the regular networks of my phone provider. I just want to use my free wlan at home to send / receive mails. What to do?

Normally when a data connection is request, if pda has the wifi actived it first try to connect with a wlan. if it don't find an active wlan, then it connect by gprs or 3g.
if you want avoid the connection with gprs/3g it is advisable to disactivate it by the program Modaco Nodata.

Got it now, all worked well. But after I entered a complete mail account that worked, I entered a second mail account that I didn't configur till the end. Now it appears in the touchflo 3d, is not deletable and does also NOT appear in the WM Mail structure. It seems it only appears in the TouchFlo, which showed it again after deactivating/ enabling TouchFlo again. SKTools doesn't find it either. Dunno where to fin it apart from the registry, where can I delete it?
