Hello all,
I am looking for an application that will let me connect to a com port on my phone and transmit its data via TCP or UDP (I dont care) to a windows computer via active sync or wifi to another software that will replicate the opposite action Basically making another com port on the windows machine.
Basically I want to take com4 from my ppc (wm6) and map it to com4 on windows pc. Do you think I will have to make a custom application to do this?

hi,
I can't use the bluetooth conection to surf Internet in my WinXP SP2 pc.
I have updated usb bluetooth adapter drivers (WIDCOMM) and ActiveSync to 3.8.
I know that SP2 have some problems with bluetooth.
Please, some help?
with ur magician u can only surf internet per Active Sync... the magician has no network bluetooth profile... u can connect per BT to your PC and use AS ?!
Hi ingmar
As you say, i can't' connect then magician via bluettoth with AS. The usb serial port (COM4) is configurated, and this port is set in AS configuration. But AS always interrupt the connection with a error message after a few seconds. With USB AS run ok.
Thanks for your help
Try the following:
On your PC, check the Bluetooth-manager configuration and check which com port number is assigned in your local services tab. Now, go to the ActiveSync connection settings and choose this com port and mark the serial communication check box. That's about it on the PC.
On your PPC, go to Settings->Bluetooth Settings and press the "Start" Button for the ActiveSync over Bluetooth configuration. On the pop up dialog, enable Bluetooth and delete an existing pairment with your PC! After you did this, re-pair the two devices. When finished, start ActiveSync on the PPC and select "Connect via Bluetooth ...". Your ActiveSync connection should be established at this point.
When this is done, you're almost there. If your Desktop PC has a direct connection to the net (via LAN or WLAN), you should already be able to surf the net via Bluetooth. If you connect via DialUP network or similar, you need to configure your Internet Connection Sharing on Windows (only 2000 and XP allow this i think).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If this com port is unselectable in activesync? what do we do in that case?
I have been toying around with my bluetooth for the better part of a day trying to get it to work. I have installed pocket bluetooth tools 1.0.1 as detailed here http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...9185e&threadid=544932&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 I managed to get the screen with the activesync icon a couple of times during the pairing process. When I went to activesync and selected sync bluetooth I would get a few seconds of connection and then it would automaticaly disconnect without actually syncing anything. I toyed around a bit more and have somehow lost the option to sync via bluetooth in activesync... :shock: I still see the irda option, but bluetooth has vanished. Any idea what I might have done wrong?

When the com port assigned by your bluetooth manager is larger than 9, ActiveSync isn't able to use it. In this case, go into your Bluetooth manager and delete existing com ports (both, local and client). Go to your device manager, delete any still existing bluetooth com ports there, check your (physical) serial port and go into its properties. Somewhere there, you can choose which com port it should use. Select one, which is said to be blocked but you actually know it isn't (e.g. Com port 4). Press ok, go back into the same properties sheet and reselect the com port that has originally been selected. Go to your bluetooth manager and press to add a com port (both, local and client). Now you should have a port number less than 10. Microsoft sucks!
Something just went through my mind about wi-fi sync'ing. Since Activesync 4.x has removed Wifi sync, I though, why not connect two virtual com ports through tcp/ip and then sync?
Totally insecure, but who would've guess your TCP/IP port that it is a com port used by Activesync?
Anybody wants to try this out? I have no idea how to get a virtual com port available on the Pocket PC and enable the com port inside the pocket pc Activesync.
Just an idea.
sounds like agood idea how one one try this?
Have been struggling with Navizon and an inability to establish a virtual comm port in the set up. has anyone actually got Navizon working on WM5?
installs and runs fine for me, version 1.4.2.1. Never really used it though.
I can install it but am unable to set up a virtual com port - I assume you could get one selected and then interface that comm port to your mapping software? Which ROM are you running if you could? This virtual com port issue is driving me nuts
It wont work if you switch run an application that uses the COM port and doesn't close the port properly when closing, and then running Navizon. Also will not work if you have Wifi and Bluetooth GPS at same time. Also wont work if either bluetooth gps or wifi is connected when in activesync.
This is dues to limitation of Pocket PC. You can get this app off the Navizon Forums to free up a COM Port (eg IR - Do you still use that!?), however use at your own risk!!

Hello all,
I've got a project with this background:
- Programming a PDA program with C++ and Eclipse and wXWindows for Windows Mobile 2002
- Using a database on a windows PC
Question is: Is there an interface that already exists for communication from the PDA with the windows PC connected via USB?
Thanks.
yes both win32's odbc or mfc's ado or dao is present at pda's like on pc's
I have a server program running on the windows pc, which communicates with the database.
So i need a connection to the windows program and not to the database, sorry.
How can i communicate with the program?
make a socket on the pc program which listen to a socket at a surden port
and make a program on the pda which writes to a socket at the port and the ip
and you are there
ok, thanks.
So i have to program like a normal network application?
How can i find out, which ip my pda have, then it is connected via usb?
Can i communicate with the pc to the normal network ip from the pc?
ms have some free tools for ping and such i'd asume that they have a ipconfig tool in that packet
and yes when connected to activesync or wifi
the pda can do the same stuff as a pc connected to a pc
socket and networkwise
Hi,
I have a new X1 with the original ROM.
I am trying to connect the phoneto my PC but it is not possible.
I find the PC if I search on the phone. Then I try to connect but I have only two services to select. FreeSpeaker and Network.
And if I try to search on my PC I have only two services available on the phone. (Network Access, Object push and voice gateway).
But I can´t transfer files from the PC to the phone. Can´t create an COM connection (a COM port is already configured on the PC) and it is not possible to connect with Active Sync.
Something is going wrong.
Does anyone know what it can be? I have Win XP SP2 with integrated bluetooth.
