I accidentally posted this on the Elf board, meant to post it here.
Guys - i need some help.
I can use the ICS on sprint to get my laptop connected to the internet with no problems.
I can then use the VPN on my laptop to connect to my work file server. Again, great, no problems.
However, when i try to connect to Exchange via outlook on my Laptop, it can't connect. I can get email through Pocket Outlook on the phone, and everything else seems to work fine, but connecting to Exchange through the ICS doesn't seem to give me any love.
Now, the strange thing - i thought maybe it was sprint, but i used a friends aircard, and it connects no problem. i used to us dial up networking on my old phone, and it worked too. So, i'm at a loss. Why would ICS not allow me to connect to our exchange server? And are there any suggestions out there for something i could try?
Is there a USB modem driver i could us to just try a regular dial up network connection?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

The group is generally quiet on this one. I have a problem getting ActiveSync to work over a wireless network. The wireless network is otherwise faultless. Can browse the internet, transfer files between servers etc but cannot perform a sync to my laptop. The laptop is also faultless on the wireless network and Activesync works fine via the cradle. All firewalls and other clever stuff on the laptop disabled.
The symptoms are that a connection starts but never gets fully established. Then it all stops. I have recently performed a hard reset on the palmtop and rebuilt the image (for other reasons) but this problem has not changed as a result of this process.
I have filddled with setting the network settings to connection via the internet and from work but that doesn't seem to make much difference. I'm beginning to run out of ideas.
Any help most appreciated fellow globe dwellers!
Thanks

Hi AlliterationArtiste,
I had it working on a previous PocketPc, and I think that it was having the ip address for the pc that made the difference for me.
You PocketPc probably only knows the name of your pc, and if it can't get that name resolved to an ip address anywhere, you are sol.
What I did was install an app called Pocket Host. It acts like the local host file on a pc. I put my pc name and its ip in the app, and then it worked.
I have since switched to dhcp which ruins the solution...
here is a link from Handango:

Just a thought, and worth a try.

You're a wizard!! This worked perfectly.
The whole thing was made more interesting because I run vmware on my laptop and so there are several ip addresses that the machine can respond to. I used to sometimes get a connection but now thanks to your excellent suggestion I can a 100% reliable connection
Thankyou
Hi all. I've connected the xda (with WLAN card) to an adhoc net at home and was able to browse the net/connect around (via broadband through a gateway comp). Now I want to hook it up with a laptop (doesn't have wifi) as a wireless adapter. How exactly do I connect the two? Is it by "wireless modem"? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.
Yep,
You need the driver & usbmodem_dialer. Lucky you I uploaded it a week ago to the ftp under usb_modem. It contains the inf for the laptop, the dialer & a document with the steps to follow
Regards, M
Hi. Thanks for the advice. But I'm not trying to dial GPRS as internet in the PPC is already provided by the SD WLAN card. I'm trying to connect the laptop w/ the PPC so that it can use the internet in the adhoc network. Can it work in the setup? Also, Im assuming that the "wireless modem" software in PPC has to be running? Thanks!
Just follow the document, including the start of the wireless modem program. I think it will work with wifi as well, haven't got a wifi card yet. Maybe Santa can arrange one.
Cheers, M
Well, I tried that and it didn't work. Error 777 or something. Can't connect. Thanks anyway. Seems that the whole thing is suited for GPRS connections. Tried several times on my laptop but it timed out.
Take a good look at the modem init-string. Sometimes I've to add a ,0
Done that (just add ,0 to the end of APN in the extra strings?) but still no go. I'm really confused now. Queried the modem and it seemed to respond just fine. As I'm not going to use the GPRS at all, what should I put in username, password and APN? Also, what about "preset GPRS" in wireless modem? Thanks.
Frankly I don't know, I'm a gprs user and hoped this could solve your problem. Maybe it's only for gprs usage. APN & user/password are usually for gprs & I only had errors in 600 range.
Regards, M
Well, seems that I've hit a brick wall here. Thanks for all the help anyway.
im still with you sekinoss - this woud be a cool thing to do.
As a semi literate PC user I get to go to a lot of poeples places and sort their pc problems (for my sins!)
I've a friend who isnt internet savvy and has a wireless setup for his wifes laptop downstairs and his own pc connecteed to a modem(!) upstairs. Hes non intenet savvy and I want to get windows updates etc for him for the upstairs pc which is generally not net connected. I'd love to just take my PPC there with a usb lead and use it to get him on broadband wireless upstairs and update his windows machine properly. (He usually doesnt bother with the windows updates as they 'take too long' on a modem. Hmm.) Surely this would be a cool use of the PPC - I can't understand that there seems to be no software/method to do this sort of thing.
Ah well! :?:
I have been trying for about 10 days to get my Tilt to connect to my VPN with my AT&T service. One time only while connected to the usb cable was I able to connect VPN and then able to run Remote desktop. As soon as I disconnected the usb cable, the connection died and I have not been able to reconnect. never have I been able to connect wirelessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
wireless as with wifi or with their cellphone service?
if their service then if they block the ports required there is nothing you can do
I have been trying with cellular only.
Hi,
Use pcAnywhere to connect wirelessly.

Please excuse my novice choice of wording....
I meant to say that I am having problems connecting over the internet side of the device as a stand alone connection. I have not tried wifi. My needs are to reset a modem server running a dial up program. If I remote desktop through my vpn I can use my current setup that I have for normal pc remote access.
Thanks.

Since I am having no luck with VPN......
I have been trying to get PCAnywhere installed but for some reason the install will not even give me the "other destinations" option to install (pcanywhere ver 12). Active Sync is running but the install just doesn't see the device.
Can anyone recommend a good vnc program for use with my Tilt WM6 connecting to my Windows 2003 Server?
Thank you.
No luck with the vpn.... yet.
No luck with PC Anywhere....yet.
The good news..... I have found a pretty decent solution.
Ultra VNC was setup on my server. VNC+ was setup on my Tilt. After the proper router port forwarding...... it's all working like a charm!
Going one step further. Both vnc programs were setup on my work station and can be run simultaniously. I can access my workstation from my Tilt and listen for a another connection on my workstation. A customer can connect to my workstation as normal and I can access the workstation from my Tilt. By doing this I can control my customers desktop through my Tilt/Workstation connection.
An added plus... my workstation can access all websites normally and through the vnc connection, they appear normally on my Tilt (yes in a small way, but they appear just the same.)
A pretty good alternative without paying the service provider for any additional monthly fees.
Finally - our own forum!
I've had my dual for about 4 days now, and have been looking at various ways to connect to the internet in the abscence of wifi. My network providers data rates are pretty high, so i was wondering if anyone has been able to browse the net through their PC's internet connection via bluetooth? I've heard of the activesync route, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Failing that, how are the rest of you connecting to the net?
I am connecting not at all. Haven't had enough time for giving it a try, because there were some hundred contacts to move from old phone to new phone, one by one via Bluetooth is p.i.t.a.
Anyway, i'd use wifi on my nokia 9500

yes, activesync should work. which OS r u using on your pc?
i'm using XP, and my laptop has bluetooth built in. I've tried getting it to work via Activesync but not having any luck as my Dual can't see the activesync service enabled when connected to the laptop. Did you have to configure specific ports just for activesync?
Not released yet, but possibly this'll help when it is: Spectec SDW-823
Not sure when that will be released, but will keep an eye out for it.
At work we have a wifi network we can use, and I had this plan to use an old Ipaq/PDA as a wifi/bluetooth gateway for my Touch Dual. The way I could see this working is to connect to wifi via the Ipaq, and 'share' it's internet over bluetooth. Even if I could do this, i'm not sure the dual could connect to a Bluetooth PAN network natively and share it's connection..
Hey there,

I don't know about using Bluetooth, but if you plug it in via USB and select data sharing on the 3G, it works seemlessly.
Active Sync
This is how i am doing it:
I installed Active Sync 4.5 on my Notebook.
Whenever i connect my Touch 3G, the device is asking me, what i would like to do.
Active Sync, Drive or Internet Sharing
Chose internet Sharing and your Notebook will recognize a LAN connection on your USB port, receiving a IP adress from the HTC and can use the Internet routed over your HTC, this is it !
Hope i could help.

Tried this once. Worked quite well. But after switching of the software again I could not use my WiFi anymore... Result: Hardreset and some hours of re-setup my phone.
