Ive been digging around, and all i was able to find was that this was possible over activesync 3.8 and below, and over a VPN.
There must be some talented networking people here who can enlighten us as to why nobody has figured out how to enable activesync over the internet or WiFi.
Some people say to just get exchange server, but
1) cant find it
2) probably wont be able to afford it
3) probably wont give me the same benefits as being under a virtual local ActiveSync.
So anyone have any idea as to how to do this? or know anything?
well if you did search you should have read that Activesync dropped it because of security reasons, while there is some work arounds Wifi sync aint going to happen the way you want it to.
Bumpty bump...
just curious if anyone has come up with any other possible idea's for this?? This would be a gold mine....I would pay for this app.

Sorry, but can someone tell me why do networking with my XDAII..like what benefits as I still get Internet connection over bluetooth
it's faster
you dont need a bluetooth and activesync for it to work it will work on any wifi network
did i mention how much faster it is ?
it's more reliable then bluetooth which always seem to give people trouble from time to time
how do I share files over bluetooth when connected to my pc. like see files i ve shared on my pc? thx
The only program I have ever tried to perform this task is called PocketLANce. This will install a server on your machine that runs in the system tray and gives an interface on your XDA that is similar to Network Neighbourhood. It works ok, but was a little unpredicatable on mine. Prolly through my own fault though.
Good Luck,
Rob.
PS.. If anyone knows of a similar app for use over wifi, please let me know

Was this using Bluetooth then? If so, cool! I didn't think the XDA2 had the right BT profile to allow LAN networking over Bluetooth. It's something that Tobias is working on with his Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but it wasn't available last time I looked.
When i activsync the computer, I find that I can't use the wifi settings. Is this a common problem or is it resolvable? I can live with this setting, but should I be able to do this?
Many thanks in advance
Think it's intended. Expecting that if you're already connected to the computer you'll want to access the network and internet via that faster link - at least that's what I do.
if i can get my XDA2i to sync with my wirless router at home, will it cost me anything? or will it all go on what i have alread payed for broadband,
i guess what i'm asking is, is this phone basically another device i can surf on in my home via my router like my mac or pc, or is it a seperate device that cost money to use?
Thanks, any help much appreciated
Short answer - it will be treated as any other wireless device that you connect to your wireless network.
Longer answer - You are not connecting to GPRS, so you are not going to be chgarged for that, and as you are going through a router, your ISP will have no idea what you are connecting behind the router, and they would not charge you anything extra anyway.
fantastic, thank you very much, just one more question if anyone can answer it,
could there an obvious reason msn isn't working on my XDA2i, i have got the WLAN connection working fine, but when i try to connect to msn it say something like, network busy please retry or try again later"
my details, name password etc, are correct so i do not understand why this function is not working, unless their has been a ppc msn update in the past 5 months?
Thanks again guys, you have been very helpfull so far
There is an MSN update on PPC2003

Apologies for asking for help with a problem I have caused myself.
I switched off some services without saving my previous settings, and now both USBtool and Internet Sharing aren't working. Everything else works, and in the absence of a more direct connection, I can get files to WinMo by e-mail.
There is a chance that it is coincidental, and I did something else, but if anyone knows which services USBtool and Internet Sharing rely on, that would be handy.
I have attached my settings as a tab-separated file, if anyone is kind enough to help.
Cheers,
Matthew
Not gone through all the list but just from the first few lines I can see many of the Networking services are disbled! Even Security Center also.
Have you tried System Restore to a date before you did whatever you did?
Not knowing what else has been effected it will probably be down re-install if that fails.
Thanks for that. The interesting thing is that my normal internet access is unaffected, either on WiFi or 3G, and the Vista side is definitely faster now, so I felt quite pleased with myself.
However, your suggestion does provide me with a smaller group to switch on one-by-one.
I might try a system restore too if I really need to - if I didn't switch that off too

i was slightly unsure where to put this, but networking seemed the most apropriate.
I have the device emulators that microsoft provide, but i am currently struggling to get it to connect to my pc, to connect with activesync and stuff like that, which i know it can!
I want to do this so i can try different roms and stuff like that on it
or something
is there any way of using/flashing another rom to the device emulator?
i know theres an option to specify another rom for use, but it seems to be disabled
anyone got any ideas?
