Help!
My spiffy new Wizard is not playing when it comes to the the syncing side of things...
I have Office 2003, and have been using async 4.0 with my WM5 blue angel quite happily. All works.
I installed ActiveSync 4.0 from the CD that came with the wizard, and then plugged in the wizard. "Retrieving settings..." comes up, and then nothing happens. I've left it for half an hour - no luck.
The communication seems fine, as I can explore "my mobile device" and that works well, but sync is no joy at all
I tried syncing over IR, and got told that error 85010014 had occurred. Googling shows I'm not alone.
I upgraded to 4.1. No joy.
I removed outlook and reinstalled. No joy.
I installed Office 2003 SP2. no joy.
Deleted partnerships from both devices. No joy.
Hard reset the wizard. No joy.
Changed my profile to not use cached mode. No joy.
I am a bit frustrated with this - any further suggestions? My only thoughts are that the firewall is blocking activesync's requests to the exchange server when it starts up the comms, but on the other hand the blue angel is happy! Help! please?
Hi Chiark,
I don't have another WM5 device to compare with, but my Wizard won't sync to Outlook on my laptop as long as Sygate Personal Firewall is loaded. If I exit SPF until the first sync happens I can then reload SPF and it keeps sync'ing away without a problem. If I set SPF to 'Allow All' it still won't work. The MS help pages mention what ports to open, but also mention problems with VPN clients that work in the same way, wedging themselves into the protocol stack.
I'd try disabling the firewall to see if it helps... On my work laptop with McAfee desktop firewall I can't adjust anything, but sync'ing over IR works fine. On my own, notes don't appear to sync, giving a similar error to yours, but I did read that another Thunderbird user fixed that by making Outlook the default mail client again.
Hope that helps..
Dox
(ocassionally of the ICE forum too ;-) )
Yeah, I have the same problem. Can't sync with the usb but can sync with IR. I tried closing Sygate FW but that didn't help any. I use Thunderbird as my mail client so always get a message saying that outlook is not my default mail client...blah blah. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but then why would it work over IR?
I am guessing something is messed up with the usb driver or something.
Thanks for the support
It's all pointing to an error with the outlook side of things, as I still can't sync over IR either, but I can explore the device quite happily.
I've run scanpst on all my pst files, no joy .
Try here, Microsoft have posted some clues
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
thanks for that - I tried those. The best resource I've found is Chris De Herrera's troubleshooting; http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm
In desperation, I've done everything again this morning.
I was assuming that setting my firewall to "Allow all traffic" would, bizarrely, allow all traffic. It wasn't.
I couldn't disable the firewall; I had to uninstall it.
It's now working, but hellishly slowly.
Why the Blue Angel will sync and this wont is beyond me!
Cheers,
Nick.
Well, sygate has had to go back on due to corporate policy... No joy. But the blueangel syncs.
ARGGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I installed AS4.x, one of the .dll's was called something like 802AFUSB.dll (from memory, so ICBW), which makes me think MS are running "Ethernet" over USB which suddenly brings activesync under the jurisdiction of our firewalls. I don't know if that's just done in firmware on "upgraded" devices, or maybe there's some hardware changes in native WM5 devices, that kick in the ethernet over USB that you don't get on upgraded or pre WM5 devices?
Do you need AS4 to sync the BA under WM5 Nick?
Dox
Hiya Dox, it's definitely firewall related IMHO, but I'll be stuffed if I can see what's wrong: the firewall isn't blocking any traffic, I've opened every port I can see, and it's still not working correctly.
the blue angel syncs using the same mechanism, over TCP/IP connection via USB, and does so without a problem.
Code:
Creating new partnership for device 0x0 (WM_Wizrard, PocketPC).

11/15/2005 12:51:44.361 **** ActiveSync exiting
Funny that crapi is causing the problem... Googling that number shows that it could be related to MSN or WM10, neither of which are present on the blue angel. I might install MSN on the host to see if that helps, but I can't see how it would.
I also think it might be to do with outlook running in cached mode as I changed that setting when I removed the firewall. Damn and blast!
Argggh!
Stranger and stranger: if I remove Sygate Security Agent, it works fine... However, corporate IT are rather against me doing this
The MS help docs do mention probs with VPN adapters that slot themselves into the protocol stack to do packet redirection. I only use SPF rather than the security agent but I guess it slots itself into the protocol stack to watch for apps attempting to use the network interfaces above it in the stack. I wonder if it's a software compatibility rahter than security policy problem. I'd guess wedging an additional layer into an already complex stack is far from trivial. Maybe MS just assumed everybody would have a nice clean TCP/IP stack with MS Firewall...
Does SSA not have an "exit" option? We did use ZoneLabs Integrity Agent on the work machines, but engineers could get a special profile pushed to them which llowed them to quit the app when they needed to connect to our kit on customer site which scrapped with IA. I only need to exit SPF to get the session started, I can restart it as soon as the sync gets underway and it's okay...
Roll on 4.2 and a fix to all this shenanigans
Thanks for the thoughts Dox. I agree that it's looking like incompatability rather than config, but I can't understand why the blue angel works: it's truly weird!
The "Exit" on SSA is disabled by our system administrators, meaning to get rid of it, I have to uninstall it . There is a "pass all traffic" option which doesn't appear to work.
I'll now secure my laptop with Windows Firewall; our group policy forbids us from turning it on, but I can sort that out.
Cheers!
Nick.
Hi, new to the form. This is a useful place!
Am with O2 Mini S, 1.5.70, AS 4.1, XP sp1, Oulook 2k3.
Does anyone notice AS runs every 5 minutes? I first tried the Add Server Source hack by WM5 Axim users, but didn't work. I couldn't find any registry entry that relates to the sync frequency.
Apart from suffering the unplug usb and wizzard freeze problem seen here. AS syncs every 5 minutes really annoys me. I need to rely on AS's tcp via bluetooth to use networking on the device and AS is heavy weight process.
So far, I have some solutions:
1. kill the wce* processes, which leaves the device connected (TCP stack still works, USB charges) but AS on the desktop says disconnected. Your wizzard's AS will still TRY to sync every 5 minutes, but it'll return quickly because the desktop ain't listening. But remember to double click AS on your desktop when you need to sync stuff again.
2. Replace the useless MS bluetooth stack with the widcomm stack taken from the Atom? Then use the PAN profile for connection. Disconnect PAN and run AS via bt from the device when needed. (But PAN on PC is not always possible as company laptops will almost certainly not allow internet connection sharing, never mind allowing you to have BT PAN enabled in the first place)
So afterall, does anyone know how to re-enable manual syncing? Some registry hack? AS 4.x is such a big step backward, I already have to disable firewall and VPN service from my company laptop when connecting, AS 3.8 was so much better when I was with an ipaq or SP3i. May be a sticky with enough post on it to get M$' to fix AS.
There are numerous threads relating to AS 4.1 and starting every x mins .... Please try to search next time....
Anyway, the simplest way is to create a dummy server entry in AS (On the mobile device) then when creating it uncheck all the "MAIL / NOTES / ..." entries in the advanced section. Once the Server has been created you can modify the server sync to set it to never.
For more info have a look through this forum for other threads on AS 4.1.
sorry if that has been talked about alot before, I suspected it. But I did a search before and couldn't find related stuff on this site, plenty of firewall/VPN stuff found which I also had a problem with...
The Add Server Source hack has been widely referenced in the dell Axim WM5 forums. As I mentioned, it didn't work for me, my ROM is very recent, as the phone is new for two weeks. I couldn't find any entry in the device registry that suggests it will run at any schedule! Although I can see peak time settings...etc but none of the scheduling options in registry.
Am really wondering if this is a problem with the specific ROM.
Yeah, I aplogise, am I bad, didn't read all your post....
Have you got any other apps that try to update regularly like Weather plugins etc?
I can agree with humps on that.
I've got a new k-jam and tried to stop AS4.1 from syncing when not connected to pc, by creating a fake server then through options setting it to manual sync.
No luck however as it still comes up in the list of running programs whenever i check :evil:
fix for constantly syncing when USB-connected
Sorry in advance if this isn't the right place for this.
I was so mad about Activesync 4.5 re-syncing during two out of every five minutes when connected via USB that I implemented a workaround that might prove useful to others as well. The result is that you can click an icon on your desktop computer and instantly change whether your handheld willl connect to its partnership for syncing or as a guest for doing other work (or just charging). Most of my data syncs wirelessly with an Exchange server anyway, and MightySync and PocketController function independent of the ActiveSync partnership. Ah, the peace ;-)
Here are the steps:
1. Change HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\GuestOnly to "1".
2. Export HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\[your device's partnership key] to a .reg file with name like "partnership.reg".
3. Create a batch file or script to stop WCESMGR, import the .reg file (regedit /s = silent) and restart WCESMGR. Name it like "partnership.bat".
4. Make a copy of the .reg file, edit it to *delete* the reg info (place a minus sign inside the beginning bracket of each key/subkey name), and name it like "guest.reg".
5 Create a new batch file or script to stop WCESMGR, import the guest.reg file and restart WCESMGR. Name it like "guest.bat".
6. When you execute "guest.bat," your device's partnership is deleted, and with the "GuestOnly" key enabled and no partnership found, ActiveSync will connect it as a guest without asking. After you execute "partnership.bat," ActiveSync will be ready to recognize your device on connection and sync.
7. Now, create a batch file or script that allows you to choose which .bat to execute, so you have one thing to click to go back and forth between connection types.
As will be obvious, I'm not a programmer AT ALL. I use pskill to clobber WCESMGR, and CHOICE.EXE copied form Server 2003 to choose connection type. It could be done more elegantly...but it sure works.
Only caveat: Later changing of syncing settings might require re-export of .reg key and recreate/edit of.reg-delete file.
Hi, I am looking for some help regarding a sync problem I am having with my XDA Mini S. I have recently re-installed my copy of Windows XP Home. Prior to this re-install I was able to sycn with my XDA using activesync 4.1. Since the re-install however when trying to sync I am presented with an error on the desktop machine.
Support Code:86000107
I have trawled the internet to find a solution, but to no avail. I have tried the new 4.2 beta of active sync and tried un-installing the software several times aswell as removing sync profiles form the unit.
Any help would be apreciated. I am using ROM version 2.21.4.1 WWE and Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Thanks
See my responses in a similar thread posted by someone else...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=289256
Thanks for the reply! I had tried searching the forum first, but my choice of keywords obviously let me down.
I have tried both disabling the firewall and ensuring DHCP is enabled. I am using the windows firewall controlled by Microsoft's Windows OncCare Live, and within which all processes associated with active sync have been granted permission to access the network.
The phone appears to be able to send data to the desktop pc, but the desktop fails for some reason. Any further advice?
thanks
Do you hear the usual "bing bong" type noise that Windows makes when a USB device is plugged in?
Does ActiveSync on the desktop even start up?
If so, on your PC goto Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. When you plug the PDA in, does a new connection profile eventually show up in the Network Connections window? It will be called something like Local Connection #6 or something similar, I've renamed mine.
Yes everything connects and establishes a connection. I can browse the device and even upload to and from it. Active sync even tries to sync with the device, but then shows the error detailed above. The XDA was able to upload my contacts to outlook for example after the re-install of windows, but nothing is synced from the desktop pc to the xda.
bump
See the Microsoft Knowledge base..........
............there's something I remember when I had this prob.
For me, it was ZoneAlarm firewall [free edition] which doesn't allow individual ports to be configured, just application rules [you can in Pro version] but in my research, I remember seeing something about Activesync not working even though the exception was set in Windows Firewall.
Try with NO firewall at all - probably best to pull your network cable if you're worried whilst you test ActiveSync with no firewall at all.
I'm sorry I can't post the reference but you should be able to find it again.
I now don't use any s/w firewall - I have a switch router with hardware router built in which shows as 'stealthed' to the outside world on all ports @ www.grc.com [ShieldsUp] and all my WM5 stuff works - ActiveSync and WiFi
I didn't get the error you did, mine just connected then hung whilst showing 'Syncronising'............'cept it never did !!! LOL but I could do all the other things as you describe....just no syncing.
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried without a firewall enabled at all but with no luck. I am trying to work out what is different with this installation tot he previous that worked.
I have found that I need to dissable the Sync of my contacts and it works with the Caldener etc. I have no idea why this is, but its the only solution I can find anywhere and its very frustrating. :roll:
That's a weird one, not be able to sync contacts but can do calendar events.
Have you tried a reinstall of outlook?
If so then, and this is just a guess, it could be that there is something wrong with a particular contact entry that's causing things to go wrong. Perhaps some invalid characters in any one of the many available fields (name, num, email address, website, notes etc).
Some solutions that worked for me
I had the problem with contacts not syncing when everything else would. My solution, which worked for me, was to:
1. disable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
2. sync as normal
3. disconnect device, reconnect device, sync again
4. re-enable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
5. contacts should now re-sync
Incidentally I found many problems with the ActiveSync partnership after restoring the device from a backup. The solution is to delete everything in the \Windows\ActiveSync folder on the pocket PC, go into ActiveSync options on the pocket pc and remove the partnership there. Finally delete the partnership on your PC.
I am running V-Com systemsuite on my PC (which I think uses the Sygate firewall) this firewall never interferes with my XDA Exec but oddly enough does so with my XDA mini S. If I disable the firewall - problem still exists. If I shut down the firewall completely (keeping Windows XP firewall running for security) the problem goes away.
Maybe some of this will help

I had moved the Outlook.pst file to a location other than the default. When I moved it back and created a new profile the error had gone. thanks for the help everyone.
Sounds like it was a corrupt pst file causing the problem then. I'm glad you got it all working now

First of all you have to open some ports in the sygate firewall: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/sygate.mspx
In my experience it's necessary to change the RNDIS driver settings in the mobile phones registry as well!
Use a regedit tool like PHM Registry Editor.
Here are the settings to be added (or to be changed respectively):
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS
Name of the Value to add: MTU
Type : DWORD
Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)
Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer
Type: DWORD
Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)
After a reset my Prophet (XDA Neo) synchronized well with active sygate firewall!
I'm rather surprised not to have seen third party support step up to fill in Activesync's worthless inability to sync over wifi or wlan. It would be very nice to revive this forgotten feature. Don't you people remember the uproar it caused when MS removed it?
Anyhow, I'm almost certain there's a work-around. Has anyone seen or heard anything in development?
Why revive this feature?
1. For the sheer convenience of not having to go through exchange servers or third party services especially when they may not be available to you
2. To sync user specific software that's otherwise not syncable OTA
3. Greater freedom share files over a wlan/wifi connection especially with these new and faster broadband networks (ev-do, etc)
4. Not to have to make special trips to your workstation just to sync..
I've found a workaround - sorry it's in German - here:
http://www.mypocketpc.ch/Workshops/15899.aspx
But it seems that since ActiveSync 4.5 you need to configure a DOMAIN on the pocketPC, not only login and password.
Does anybody know how to set something like a "pseudo domain" or if the PC has a "default domain", if no domain is set?
I will try to translate the workaround now:
In earlier versions of ActiveSync WLAN Sync was possible (last known version 3.8), since version 4.x it was removed..
You can do a remote WLAN Sync as followed:
Start ActiveSync on the PocketPC. Go to Options > Server OR Configure Server [depends on your ActiveSync Version]
Enter the IP of the Windows PC. [if you don't know do: Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all ]
Enter Login and Password which are the same as on your Windows PC. [SSL I think should be deactivated]
IN v4.5 YOU HAVE A PROBLEM HERE: if you don't enter a DOMAIN, the configuration wizard doesn't continue IF YOU HAVE LOWER VERSION PLEASE TELL WHETHER YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY A DOMAIN
Click Next > Next > Finished.
Now you can MAYBE [see the DOMAIN problem] sync via WLAN again..
If anyone has an idea how to workaround the MUST-SPECIFY-A-DOMAIN problem please tell, I think I am not the only one who wants WLAN Sync back!
I think you need an exchange server for sync over wifi or gprs.
NO and YES!
YES: Microsoft WANTS that you use an Exchange Server, therefore they have removed support for syncing via WLAN since v4.x
NO: The posted workaround doesn't need an Exchange Server running!! Instead you are "simulating" that you have one. Earlier this Workaround seem to have worked, but since ActiveSync v4.5 it seems you NEED to specify a DOMAIN of your PC.. maybe just another hurd only!
So, the problem again: since you need to specify a DOMAIN of your PC now, is there a possibility to workaround this? Maybe via Registry or setting up a "Pseudo Domain" ? This MUST-HAVE-SPECIFIED-A-DOMAIN seems now to be the only problem, unfortunately you cannot leave the domain field empty.. but the Handheld tries to connect the PC via WLAN (...WOW! Just one step away from the Solution!!?...), but that fails due the DOMAIN problem.. (most PC are only in a workgroup, and not in a domain..)
Maybe we are only one step away from a working solution!
I think only the wizard is changed by MS so that when no
domain is entered you cannot go forward.
ActiveSync can be configured with Configuration Service Provider (CSP)
through XML file.
Infos here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa456215.aspx
I will try this tomorrow with a configuration without domain and let you know
if it works.
Houser
You said it - the setup wizard seems to be the only hurd.
Hey, great idea. Where to find this config file?
I searched for it on PC and PPC, but found only binary files..
Hope you have success!
Here are the maybe suitable Registry Settings for ActiveSync setup, I will try this way:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa457989.aspx
Here is a tool I have written to configure ActiveSync Settings
without ActiveSync wizard.
You can test it if you want.
Houser
Thx. I launched your tool and entered IP + Login + Pass, activated e.g. Tasks to synchronize, and deactivated SSL, and clicked Save.
Then I launched ActiveSync on the PPC (Trinity HTC P3600).. now there comes a screen:
Microsoft Exchange:
Result: Your account information could not be detected. Choose configure Server on the ActiveSync menu to check your Exchange Server credentials.
Support Code is: 0x85002009
Hmmm maybe because the domain entry is left empty?
What happens if you enter some characters for the domain?
Houser
If I enter a domain it tries longer to sync on the PPC - instead throwing at once the message above - the circling arrows animates for 3 seconds, then it ends ups with:
Waiting for network..
Hm, maybe the ActiveSync software on the PPC checks for the domain entry But.. maybe this check can be removed
Where is the configuration saved? To a file (which one) or to registry (which branch)?
I do not know where the config is saved. In WM2003 it was in the registry
but in WM5 that was removed and stored in some internal database
I think.
Houser
As you speak German, maybe this could be a workaround for the domain problem:
http://www.weyo.de/board/?n=320745&bn=21
I mean, maybe it's possible to enter a Pseudo Domain in the Registry on the PPC under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\Comm\\\\Tcpip\\\\Hosts\\\\
And entering this Pseudo Domain as Domain in the ActiveSync Setup..
But what to enter in the Registry? The branch is currently empty, so no example exists
Hm, here's how to enter the information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q199370/
ActiveSync uses the domain only for authentication.
The server name (DNS name) or IP is used for the connection.
In the registry you can enter Host names with IP adresses
that has nothing to do with domain name.
ActiveSync uses HTTP oder HTTPS (TCP/IP port 80 or 443) when
you configure a server in ActiveSync.
ActiveSync on your deskstop PC does not listen on this TCP ports
so you cannot connect.
Houser
Hm, any other idea? How crazy whatever..
Today not maybe tomorrow.

Yes this is the only way I have done it so far.
But may be there is another solution out there to do this
with Outlook on your desktop but I currently do not know
how that can work.
I will do some tests today and let you know about the results.

A followed all the steps for my ipaq 9610 as well and get same (no) results.

Hi all,
I had the alarm issue when it would not switch off so I deleted all notifications in the notifications list. I've since learned this was a bad thing to do! My only real problem at the moment is being unable to connect to ActiveSync. I get assigned the correct IP address and activesync goes green but it doesn't connect and I get an error message. I've check all settings/fixes listed in about 4 seperate threads but none have helped.
If someone has Buzz's TaskManger v2.7 installed can you list which notifications you have listed, especially any which look AticveSync related?
TaskManager is available here: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,27,15027
Edit: Connecting to ActiveSync via Bluetooth is fine. It's only the USB connection which appears broke.
Thanks!
Gavin.

marisa4755 that is a particularly useful link you give to cure the lost Active Sync connection. So good in fact I think it should be re-written (perhaps tailored) and credited to Aficionado + fattyfattybombom, might put my mind to this for the wiki.
It also serves as a reminder that although scarybear is free it does allow you to easily delete key entries in notifications. The other tools memmaid and SKtools etc at least make it more troublesome though still possible to delete replog.exe.
Mike
I agree with you. I found it by accident when wondering what a lot of the 'stuff' in my notifications queue was, with a view to - should it be there. So I googled this one and that link came up.
When we look into the queue, some things are easily identifiable, others are guessable, and some are a bit of a mystery. It's sometimes a bit trial and error deciding what stays and what goes. Anyone producing a guide to this would have to be at least up for sainthood in my book.

Yes indeed, in fact I'll put some work into that, although I recently cleared a lot of mine out so getting a full list of items that show up may be a problem.
Meantime I have adapted the info in the link you gave and posted as a thread - not on wiki yet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302459
Mike
That's really good, makes it very clear. I'm sure this happens to lots of people and the only thing they know will fix it is a hard reset.
If it helps, these seem to be the non clock/calendar or application specific notifications in my queue (original ROM):
Windows\calupd.exe
AppRunAtTime
repllog.exe
/sched /remote /h
repllog.exe
AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
repllog.exe
AppRunAfterTimeChange
repllog.exe
AppRunAtRs232Detect
clocknot.exe
AppRunAtTime
clocknot.exe
AppRunAfterTimeChange
clocknot.exe
AppRunAfterRestore
CALNOT.EXE
\Windows\TimeWizard.exe
AppRunAtTime
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardTimeChange
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\TimeWizardWakeUp
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunatTime
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunAfterRestore
CALNOT.EXE
AppRunAfterTimeChange
I haven't yet done my 'fake server' trick so some of the repllogs may change after that.
Hope this helps
@Marisa
Thanks for the info. Like you said some are guessable others will take some investigation - see you in a few weeks!!!
Mike
Hi all,
Thanks very much for taking time to give all the info, including creating a new thread to help others. Unfortunately nothing has helped here. I've created all the notifications using either TaskManger or MemMaid, resetting the device each time but I'm still getting the same behaviour. Even when I manually run repllog.exe.
The only thing I can think of which I have not tried is that the repllog.exe entries for AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected and AppRunAtRs232Detect have aguments also but this isn't mentioned in any post here so I guess I'm clutching at straws.
I'll see what I can do before Monday then I think it's a hard reset.
Gavin.
You mention in your first post that you get an error message, what is that message. Sorry, should have asked this first instead of making assumptions. That might give an extra clue.
Hi Marisa,
Good point.
On the mobile I get "Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter and IP address in Network settings" although if I goto Settings > Connections > Network Cards and check I've been assigned 169.254.2.1 and I've tried assigning a fixed address in Remote-NDIS Host but it still doesn't work. Activesync spends ages at 'connecting'. I did get an error message on my laptop (testing now with my desktop) from activesync along the lines of "can not connect to mobile device. click OK to troubleshoot or cancel to end".

Have heard of folks with this kind of problem who got it working by uninstalling ActiveSync and re-installing latest version of thee net. You see in your case it looks like repllog is opening active sync so it's not the repllog being missing problem. One other thought is to go to the active sync setting that says delete mobile device and then reconnect the mobile and see if setting up a new connection works. (Only thoughts of things to try before a hard reset!!)

Gavin,
Try this. I copied it from a posting on this site a long time ago and put it into an Outlook Note, so I can't acknowledge the original poster (my apologies to whomever you are).
(Title bar) Pocket PC Networking
(Exclamation point yield sign warning icon)
(Error body) Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.
Solution:
1. Remove the PPC from the cradle.
2. Edit the PPC registry. I used PHM Registry Editor Version 0.7.
3. Look for the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Change
EnableDHCP=1
to
EnableDHCP=0
4. Quit the registry editor using Tools > Exit. I did not soft reset the PPC.
5. After making the above registry change, dock the PPC. I waited more than 30 minutes and still no error. Before the registry change, the error appeared between 1 to 3 minutes after docking the PPC.

Hello.

I suppose you have tried unticking the advanced functionality box?
Start/settings/Connections/USB to PC
Update:
I forgot about my HTC Universal. I loaded TaskManager onto the Universal and copied the repllog.exe notifications one by one and it now works...
These are as follows:
Notification > Task > Arguments > Type > Event
Application repllog.exe /sched /remote /h CNT_TIME None - (date and time)
Application repllog.exe AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected CNT_EVENT RNDISFN interface instantiated.
Application repllog.exe AppRunAfterTimeChange CNT_EVENT The system time has changed.
Application repllog.exe AppRunAtRs232Detect CNT_EVENT An RS232 connection is made.
