ActiveSync Over WIFI

ActiveSync Over WIFI - does anyone know if this is possible.
I use WIFI at home on my XDAII for the internet, but would like to Sync it with my laptop without having to drag the cable home (or buy another usb cable)
Any ideas ?
Cheers

Yes, sure you could do it! Just make sure ActiveSync Connection settings on your desktop PC include Ethernet (right click on ActiveSync icon on the taskbar, choose Connection Settings and click on Allow network). Then, run ActiveSync on XDA-II and choose same 'synchronise via Network' setting - there is one on the 'Advanced' tab I think (can't say exactly, as my wife plays Lines on it right now ) - just type in your PC NETBIOS name (I guess it will be there already if you connected via USB before). I've tried it and it worked straight away (although takes few secs more to connect).

YOU BEUT ! I'D KISS YOU ... if
1. you were female
2. you were good looking
3. you were in close vacinity!
I had to run active sync, go to tools > Options > Server
And add "//myname" and untick SSL
However, my WIFI network card is set to MOBILE WEB GPRS (for IE and MSN, inbox etc) and it wanted WAP network GPRS so tried to dial up.
I changed the WIFI card to be WORK instead of INTERNET and it worked great.
Not sure if I have WORK and INTERNET set up correctly, it is basically how it came setup for GPRS access. But I don't mind changing it over now and then unless someone knows a better way?
(interesting that I managed to do an o2 Active update via the WIFI card! and not WAP GPRS - something I can't do while connected via USB? but can surf via USB )
Anyway... RESULT ! cheers

Well, obviously not female (while nothing is impossible in modern world - you could change sex, not only ROM version in your XDA ). As for the Wi-Fi card setup - it's quite simple, you'd better set it to 'Work' always unless you are connecting from Starbucks, and then change properties of 'work' connection, checking 'Connects to Internet' box and entering your proxy address. All these 'ISP' and 'Work' settings seemed to be pretty confusing to me first time until I understood how it works. You could not browse network through an USB cable (a mystery to me, since it's a normal PPP connection!), so Wi-Fi is probably the best option for all tasks - synchronisation, browsing etc.

Thanks for your help, I'll have a play

Internet Sharing problem

Hello
I have x7500 i have Att data plan which works prefectly while used on the advantage. When I try to share it's internet conneciton witha PC the problem starts.
I open up the program Internet Sharing in the Advantage have select USB as PC connection and MediaNet as Network connection. Advantage connects to the internet viag 3g and then i plug in phone to the computer, computer connects, I get the IP address assigned. Everything seesm ok but its does not work, web pages don't open, not replying to any ping commands. I tried this on two different PCs with the same result. Does anybody know what is the problem ?
Thanks

Don't know... everything you are doing is OK. That's the way I'm using it as far as I know.
Could be the XP firewall messing around? I usualy shutdown that crappy firewall included in XP.

You should be connecting to your PC by USB first. Any connection is then instigated from your PC after connecting Internet Connection on the x7500.
You just start IE.

Found solution
I finally called HTC Support they told me to disable advanced network functionality found in Settings >> USB to PC, restarted the device and works beautifully.
I am wondering did the Advantage come with this option disabled for others ? For this that USB internet sharing always worked can you check if that option is enabled or disabled ?
thanks

using gprs/umts while USB connected

Hi,
Is there a way, to only use GPRS/UMTS connection while the device is connected via USB? When I'm connected via USB, my Hermes tries to use the ActiveSync connection for Internet, which won't work (company proxy), so I want to have UMTS connection, but still be able to remote-control via USB...

mine use gprs when i choose my isp in settings->connections->connections-Advanced-select network
even when connected to activesync

hm, I have for both settings there "E-Plus Internet", i.e. my provider... still it doesn't connect. As soon as I disconnect USB, it works.

then i would try unchecking enable advanced network functionality
in usb to pc in connections

still the same... doesn't connect

On the PC head into ActiveSync, open up the Connection Settings for the device in question, try unchecking "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC".
Disconnect the device from USB, then reconnect and sync, then try to access the internet on the device.

hm, I thought exactly that option should be checked, because it says "allow wireless connections while connected to the PC". Nonetheless, I unchecked it, dis-/reconnected it, still no go.

Is this because you dont have the net on your PC?
Maybe your provider doesn't allow tethering. I.e. using the phones internet connection whilst connected to the pc.
You can use PDAnet ,download trial from here

this will allow you to use the internet whilst connected to the pc, but this will also mean the pc can also use the internet of the phone, i am not sure if this is exactly what you want, as you dont indicate the reason why you want to be able to connect to the net on the device. Anyway using PDAnet, you will still be able to sync,browse and use the device as you normally would, as well as access the internet on the PPC and PC.

There is internet on the PC, though behind a proxy with auth (and some blocked stuff). Since the proxy auth isn't RFC conform it seems, using the internet connection on the phone doesn't work with most programs (i.e. weather updates), some programs even don't have a proxy option (and the one from "connections" doesn't work either). That's why I want the phone to connect itself by UMTS, while I still can remotecontrol it with PocketController. As everybody already said, it should be possible.

mh, the PC shouldn't use the phone as modem, that would violate the security restrictions here badly. I'll try PDAnet and see if I can restrict that.
Edit: PDANet also can't connect. could it be possible, that it is some Windows policy on the Desktop preventing that?

Can you turn Data Connection off in CommManager on the PDA?

hm, not really....

I am interested in this as well.
I have the Titan (Sprint Mogul) and would like to be able to connect it to my work computer VIA USB and be able to charge the phone and control it via MyMobiler but the phone should use its EVDO cellular connection for the internet. Instead it appears to use the internet that my work computer has which blocks certain sites and ports for IMAP and POP.
I would like the phone to be able to check gmail (via IMAP) as well as go to any website I would like.

Samsung Omnia surfing problem

I bought my Samsung Omnia a few day ago and I am having some networking problems:
1) It connects rarely to my wireless network unless I provide an IP manually.
2) When I do set up an IP I was put in front of the situation of missing wi-fi button, no connections, no anything.
3) well I am connected as mentioned before and I have the following settings:
Settings->Connections->Browser Connection: Automatically detect settings;​Settings->Connections->Connections/ Advanced Tab Select Networks
Internet should connect using: My work network with Proxy Settings: This network connects to the Internet selected​Private network should connect using: My work netwok​When connectd to the PC through the USB cable I can surf the net. Opera browser works well, Internet explorer also, Y!Go works. The thing is I cannot convince my messaging to connect and dowload my Yahoo! mails. I get the following message:Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail acoount settings are correct.Then, try to download message again. My parlingo doesn't work neither. Log in parameters are incorrect which is not true.
What can be the problem?
I forgot to mention that I have installed also F-Secure mobile security, but I don't think this is the poroblem.

you can set in the activesync or windows mobile center settings, to enable the data connection in usb connect

I found a fix which made my internet connection through USB work:
- Open Registry Editor on your PC (Start/Run and type "regedit") and locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services.
- Right-click on the value list in the right site of window and choose New/DWORD value. Type the name "AllowLSP" and leave the value zero.
- Disconnect and connect your device and Pocket Internet Explorer (and all other applications) will start working.

thanks jawab for your reply.
i updated my registry in xp with the changes you suggested but no success.
i am able to connect to my laptop with usb as well as wireless. even i am able to get remote desktop on my hd2 but not internet.
can you please suggest something.
connecting thru activesync also doent help
regards

I'm sorry. For me I made the reg-change, connected the phone and wupti - there was internet through USB.

why not just connect your phone to your router via WiFi and use the internet that way? makes life a LOT easier

in my office my laptop is connected to wired network. there is no wireless
the only option for me to connect is using a USB connection or making my laptop as a wireless router.
both of them seem to be not working
