Firstly, I apologies if this has been asked/covered before, I have searched a bit hence the ?
When I connect my SPV M600 which is running a HTC rom to any computer through Active Sync (AS) either with a named profile or as a guest, I get this annoying pop up message!
"Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in network settings!
I don't know why this has just recently started happening, it may have something to do with me playing with the settings, when it first started!
So I go to Settings/Connections/Network Cards and see under Configure Network Adapters 'My network card connects to: The Internet'
Tap an adapter to modify settings:
I have tried to assign a 'specific' IP address to each 'Adapter' along the lines of 192.x.x.x 255.x.x.x etc
But still get the above message.
Also if the 'My Card connects' is set to 'Work' I still get it!

When I plug my JasJar into my PC, I get a message "Pocket PC Networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in network settings"
Please could someone with a JasJar go to Settings>ConnectionsNetwork Cards and tell me if every adaptor is set to "Use server assigned IP address" EXCEPT "Remote-NDIS Host" which is set to server assigned, but has an IP address in the lower box.
If yours is any different, please tell me what's different so I can fix mine up.
Everything set to be Obtain Automatically only... I changed only DNS entry for WLan NE2000 card.. rest all left as automatically updatin...
thanks dude!
can sum1 please post step by step instructions on how to connect to another computer on a home wireless network, network is 100% would love to get this working!
thanks
Make sure both wifi adapters are ON (both PC and PDA)
1. On your PDA, go to Start->settings->Connections->Network cards
You should find two tabs "Wireless" & "Network Adapters"
2. Click on Add New (in the wireless tab)
3. Give a convinient name, and select "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
4. Complete it by hitting OK
5. Go to "Network Adapters" tab, and choose "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet..." adapter
6. Provide a specific IP address (eg. 192.168.1.2) & subnet mask (eg. 255.255.255.0)
7. Press OK to complete it!
8. Now, on your desktop, double click on your wireless connection tray icon, and then click on "Properties" button
9. Double click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in the list to get the tcpip properties
10. Select "Use following IP address, and specify an IP (eg. 192.168.1.1) & subnet (eg. 255.255.255.0)
11. Press Ok, and close all dialogs
12. Now, right click on your wireless tray icon and select "View available wireless networks"
13. If you've got all the above steps right, you should find the Adhoc network you created on your PDA (...you should find the name you provided in step 3!)
14. Connect to it, and you have your wifi adhoc connection established!
Now you can do the following -
1. You can browse the contents of your desktop through Resco by setting up a simple Network drive (as long as you have a username and password for a user account on your desktop, it should be pretty straight forward to do it in resco!)
2. You can use Terminal services client
a. Fire up TSC, and type in your computer's name and press connect
(you can find out by right clicking on your "My Computer" icon and then clicking on properties) Eg. "Laptop" (without the quotes)
b. press connect, and you should see a login screen!
c. Enter your username and password that u use on ur desktop, and you should get things rolling Wink
Cheers!

ok, don't want to use adhoc, have a netgear dg834g, are the instructions the same for the adhoc, as in the ip setup?
One point to note, at least on my setup...
If I try TSC and enter my servers name it attempts to connect via GPRS,3G. If however I enter the IP address it connects with Wifi perfectly.
Not sure why but I can live with it...

My bet would be that your wifi might not be giving you DNS services and your GRPS is.
You would think so, but my laptop and all the other PC's in the house happily connect using TSC to my server using its NAME instead of it's IP. I just thought it was some thing to do with the Universal.
Anyone knows how is possible to set a different port of 3389 default?
I try to write 192.168.1.X:XXXXX but it's impossible..it says The server name is invalid.
Thankx
No one?

No way to redirect on the client side but you could redirect on the server side with a port forwarding type app. Kind of defeats the purpose of obscuring port 3389 though.
the problem with wifi gprs umts vpn and tsc all relate to the same issues, namely "." in the addresses.
the full stop and name issues usually relate in some way to the "my work" and "internet" designations of your connection types.
to cut a long story short, if you are having difficulty using IP addresses (I have never got a name to work), then place the IP address you are trying to use in the exceptions section of your connection type.
this way, the OS allows the "." in the addressing.
I think the "." issue is not allowed when you are the "my work" connection type, as this is designed or expects to a name for the connection. this is so even if you are using myserver.mydomain.com as the addressing.
if it detects the fullstop, it assumes you want to use the "internet" connection, disconnects what you are looking for and starts using the "internet" designated connection, and if it cant find one uses the 3g/gprs and auto launches.
what a wonderful system, and I dont really fully understand the need for "my work" versus "internet" but it is at operating system level from microsoft, and occurs on all the WM2005 devices as far as I can establish.
if you search on "my work" vpn gprs or similar through the forums, you will find a detailed outline and explanations.
i encountered the problems when trying to use TSC over a VPN over either WIFI or 3G, it simply kept cutting out after 2 seconds, or couldnt find it.
IP addresses are far better, far faster if you can use them and know them, add these into your exceptions as you will find that they rarely change and it should all start coming together.
hasnt been mentioned and dont know if it is different for the m5000 on WM5 (iam using an m1000 with SDIO WIFI)
If i have the PDA Connected on the Wireless network to enable me to connect through TSC i always have to ensure that my work network is selected for both of the two options in Network Management, (start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks)
The top one 'programs that connect to the internet should connect using' is the key one for me, i have an orange gprs connection i need to ensure this has orange gprs or it will not connect, and vise versa if connecting through wireless it has to be My Work Network
When i connect my 8125 to my computer, i get the following error message
Pocket PC Networking
"unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"
Can somebody walk me through what I should do?

Getting the same here with my XDA Mini S, I have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to assign. Strange thing is that it still synchs???
I got those messages, too. I could sync fine, but the messags bugged me. You can Google the error message and find the answer at Microsoft.com, which is...
Settings -> Connections -> Network Cards -> Network Adapters (tab) -> Remote-NDIS Host
"Use specific IP address"
IP Address: 169.254.2.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 169.254.2.2
My LAN uses 10.0.18.x addresses, but I think it's something between the device and ActiveSync.
thanks phoney, it works a treat.
I posted this question in the Networking Forum but got no replies. But here is my problem:
I messed around with the Network adapters settings, while trying to get WiFi to work properly.
Now everytime I connect to ActiveSync via USB, I get the error message, "Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address". I am sure this is because I set one of the adapters to "Automatic IP", but I don't know which one. Moreso, my Wizard does not access the internet properly when connected via USB.
Could someone please tell me which adapter I wronged, and what setting its supposed to be?
i get this error message randomly. jus wen i wake it up the pop up will be there, i thaught it was jus a gprs error or something.
Same here :?
i´ve been getting the same message each time i plug my phone in to sync with my pc.
But now i put a IP adress in with my Wireless networkcard settings on the phone and the last time i synced the message didn´t show up anymore. Try that maybe it´ll help you too.
edit:
ok sorry, it didn´t work. Just got the same message when i synced the phone on my home pc.

Hi, make this:
Start > settings > connections > Network cards > Remote-NDIS Host > Click Use specific IP address
Enter 169.254.2.1 for IP address
Enter 255.255.0.0 for subnet
Enter 169.254.2.2
It functions on my Wizard...

My Wizard loves to give me this error message at random too. I'm curious as to exactly where it's trying to get a server assigned IP address from, and why.

Thanx Viking. Someone had replied my post in the Networking Forum with the same IPs as yours.
Thanx again
i would check you firewall aswell, cus that would block it out if it is not setup right. My does this everytime i get a update for the firewall!!!

Enjoy I had the same problem and found this solution in another discussion...
I found that this problem appears when you make ANY configuration changes in "Network Card"((
Hi, all,
I'm having the same problem with a Universal. Would this "fix" work also on my ppc?
Thanks

Yes, it should... It's a WM problem, not a problem of concrete machine.
tried this fix but it still does it.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I did the same as you, messing around with settings.....
Anyway I think this is the procedure I did to screw it up.
Click Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters.
Then select Remote-NDIS host. The radio button to 'Use specific IP address' is selected but no IP address is entered. You can't exit this screen without either adding an IP address or selecting the 'Use server-assigned IP address' radio button'. If you select 'Use server-assigned IP address' the problem appears thereafter.
To fix it (or at least restore the defaults) you need to edit the registry:
HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp\
Change the value of 'EnableDHCP' from 1 to 0.
That fixed it for me.

Hi,
I can access the internet fine on Wifi but I cant use Terminal Services Client.
I can use Terminal Services Client when connected with Activ Sync.
What am I doing wrong?
It's a home network with a Netgear me102 wireless access point.
I have a Tmobile MDA Vario.
Thanks
MC_Bob
Got it to work dont worry

Help
How did you manage to make it work. I am trying to use Terminal services to access my home pc via my MDA. I am not sure what settings to use,
Under my work network I created a new connection,
Name: Laptop
Host name/ IP: specified my IP (Tried with computer name before)
VPN type: What do i select here L2TP or PPTP
When I click next I am asked to enter username and password (I guess this is the username for my laptop). I have not touched the default settings under the advanced section.
Use server-assigned IP address was selected by default.
When i try to connect after i while i get the message, unable to connect check username and password.
Please advise what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help in advance.
You don't need all that VPN crap. In fact delete the connection.
Here is what you have to do:
1) When you connect to your WiFi make sure that what you select under 'This network connects to' matches what you have in settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection->programs that connect to the network (bottom list)
'internet' = 'My ISP'
'work' = 'My work network'
2) Start the client and enter your PC IP. You should now get a windows logon screen where you can enter your user and password.
Firewall?
can you connect to remote desktop from another workstation on that network? If not then it could be a firewall and you wouldn't be able to connect with your PPC anyways...
just a thought.
