Hello,
I can easyly syncronize with USB or Bluetooth.
I've set a WiFi connection to my ADSL router, it works fine, I can scan the LAN (with ScanIP) and see my PC, but no way to sync...
Though Active Sync 3.8 is installed.
Some of you succeeded, what's the magic ? ? ?
Thanks for sharing,

Cool link, added to my Favorites, thnks for shareing that with us
Superb
Excellent, if only everything was explained like this, keep it up!!!!
It was already here...
I had actually found it on this forum a few months ago...
But since I had put it into my favourites I figured it would have taken me about the same time to give it you than to tell you "go and and look for it"!
Glad it helped.

I struggled with this for awhile and could not get it working. The issue was I had was in the PC WINS setting I had left the LMHOSTS Lookup enabled. As soon as I unchecked that and had the Netbios tab checked it synced up. Thanks for the link. Now I can wifi sync.
another gotcha
I read every thread I could find on several forums regarding activesync via wifi and yet I could not get it to work. Then I finally read on a thread that the PPC network card "My network card connects to:"should be set to connect to WORK not The INTERNET. I changed that one setting and bingo, activesync instantly connected via wifi (I already had a partnership created while connected via USB). Of course to have the PPC connect to the Internet via wifi, you have to set it back but that is easy enough to accomplish.

On my SX66, I don't have to change back to "the Internet" to surf; I just leave it set to "Work".
New problem...activesync connects but
Well, I had everything working, now I have a new issue. I can successfully sync via usb and BT connects. When turn off BT and then tell activesync running on the BA to sync, activesync on both the PC and the BA indicate that they are connected (as BT is off and the BA is out of the cradle, it is obvious that they are connected via WiFi at this point). Then the "looking for changes" meter starts advancing and when it gets about 1/3 of the way finished, it just stops. Both the PC and the BA still show connected and activesync still indicates that it is trying. After several minutes of the no more progress, the PC side activesync indicates that there was a synchronization error.
Any ideas. I have uninstalled activesync 3.8 and reinstalled. I have run the outlook repair utility just in case there was something weird with my outlook pst file (it was clean).
Thanks
David
I have this problem too - I find if i soft reset the unit (and sometimes my computer too) then it works fine. anyone got any ideas?
Tried the soft reset ....
I tried the soft reset on the PPC as well as rebooting the PC and still activesync stops progressing during the sync process about 1/3 of the way thru and eventually reports the synchronization error. I have noted that during BT or usb syncing, the process pauses at the same place for just a split second and then zooms thru the remaining 2/3s of the process. It is like activesync is waiting for somekind of a handshake or acknowledgement from the PPC. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Have you tried turning off synchronise 'Files' in the activesync options? sometimes funny files can cause this problem?
Only syncing...
The only things I am trying to sync are my contacts, tasks and calendar. I even tried unchecking even those items so that I was essentially NOT syncing anything but activesync via WiFi still stalls at about 1/3 complete. As I did have WiFi/ActiveSync working for a day or so with NO issues and nothing has changed (or I guess I should say, I changed nothing), this is a real mystery.

Can anybody help?... i have installed all the wm6 roms available (thanks to everyone that has created one of these) Anyway my problem is i have a bthomehub and i am having some troubles connecting the universal to the homehub via Wifi. The universal can pick up my wifi signal fine but then when i enter my encryption key the uni then comes back and tells me the key has been entered incorrectly ( i know this is not the case ) I have even tried removing the encryption off the homehub and the universal still does not connect. I know that there is not a problem with the wifi on the uni and WM6 as i took it round my friends and connected up to his dlink straight away.
Any suggestions would be most helpful
Nevamind folks. just solved my own problem for some reason it would only let me connect if i specified a static IP on my uni. Bit of a pain but still i can live with that..
Cheers anyways
strange, i just got the homehub with phone etc, and my uni connects no probs
First off, please accept my apology if this question has been answered somewhere, but I feel like I have checked the farthest corners of XDA developers with no luck............
I cannot not seem to access my desktop computer's folders over wifi anymore...........
now i am no stranger to WM phones in anyway, I've had the mpx 200, 220, T-mobile sda, mda, cingular 2125, audiovox smt5600,and have been tweaking forever and now the Cingular 8525, I am running the LVSW(3/26)WM6 rom
I use to be able to access my folders very easily over my past devices, so I need your help???????????
I think it's a combination of my connection settings, and wifi settings, but who knows..........
anyhow I'd really appreciate anyone's help, until now I"ve been only an addicted reader of this website, so please help , when I go into my file explorer, and attempt to put in the name of my computer(Reuben), it simply tells me it can't be found
afaik resco file explorer lets you browse computers over network no problem on the Hermes. Are you considering WM6 for your 8525??
I just tried connecting to my pc for the first time using Remote Desktop and works like a charm. I used this info to get me through this.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/remoteintro.mspx
I did not go through all the steps mentioned, all I did was put a checkmark under REMOTE DESKTOP and ALLOW USERS TO CONNECT REMOTELY TO THIS COMPUTER.

Have you got a new router? Check and make sure that its network seperation is off. That stops you connecting to computers over the wireless.
Maz
network seperation?
I'm not sure about those devices you used but my iPaq 4155 connected to windows shared files differntly from the file explorer then my TyTN does. I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about.
The way you do it now is from File explorer:
Menu -> Open Path -> New Path
Then enter the network path ie \\Computer Name\Folder Name
Hope that's what you were looking for
that's exactly what I do, but then I get the error message, I am gonna reset me router and see what happens

Dono - works fine for me. Make sure you're on the same subnet as the computer you are trying to connect to. Also make sure that computer doesn't have a firewall prohibitting connections (MS One Care does this as does I think the default MS Firewall - you have to turn on file sharing)
its just a simple networking. first, u must set your IP for wifi configuration manually & 'use server-assigned IP address' for pocket pc IEEE 802.11b/g bla bla bla as well. use resco explorer or total commander. it is so fun because i can play my huge video stored in my laptop directly in pocket pc even i'm in toilet (make sure file/folder sharing is enabled)
firstly resco is the best for this. if u aint got it, invest.
ensure file sharing installed on pc and u are mapping to the right share and it is all user access if possible
ensure on ur ppc u can connect to internet
try a diff pc to connect to share to limit issues to ppc and not ur pc
turn off firewall altogether
turn aff antivirus antispan and other internet protection
on ppc change wifi to connect to work not to internet
reset all devices.
use ur explorer to map a drive. if it doesnt auto show type it in full.
if all these fail ur gonna need to break this down to simpler stuff n piece meal test using pc to pc before using ppc.
the above also disables some serious security so once working piece meal them back on till u find what cut u off.
oh yeah one other beauty which allows u to change wifi connection type back to internet from work is to go into connections - exceptions and insert ur network ip address range. eg 192.168.* so it knows using this range is not an internet range.
these r some hints. i have had issues but usually pc file sharing, connection type or exception ranges.
failing this and u still need help we are going to need heaps of detail coving the PPC the wifi router and PC.
bearing in mind this should work even if troublesome for u. fiddle. if u can access the internet on ur ppc over wifi then it it is likey to be a pc based issue rather than ppc.
Simon
@Reu15
Be sure your firewall is not blocking this traffic. Check all logs to include those from SPAM and WORM protection. I can connect easy with total commander using my \\computer name only. Im still working on the remote display thing.
well, for what it's worth I tried and tried to do this with Resco and with Built in native file explorer and it wouldn't work. Slightly differnent in that I was trying to connect to my Samba server (linux)...but this should work fine, all other wifi PC laptops connect fine.
I read about an issue with this and tried the siggested fixes but I never got it working, annoying. The samba share never showed automatically. wierd.
I am very greatful for all your help, suggestions, and advice, but now I have a completely new problem, and its really got me pissed, please bear with me, but it has nothing to do with windows mobile so here goes:
while trying to follow this advice of an earlier post, (in windows xp) I right clicked on my computer icon on my desktop, went down to properties and selected, went over to the 2nd tab(computer name), and clicked the button for network ID, i selected the computer was part of a business betwork , but that it wasnt on a domain, that caused my main login screen to completely disappear, and now I have to log in my clicking ctrl+alt+del which is a pain, I want my login screen back...........

With Samba and windows I always have to manually configure my etc/samba.conf file. And make sure the user and permissions are set. You can also make it public just for testing. That will make it available for all users. Dont forget to add the same user/password in your linux box.
I am no GURU but my linux shares work perfectly with XP.
I have just managed to connect to my computer folders by using Resco file explorer and mapping network drive. I didn't need to change anything much and it worked straight away. Hope you've sorted it.
Hello,
I did a search and didnt find much, I also checked on Wiki and they explain how to use it as a modem via bluetooth dial up networking. I would like to use the bluetooth PAN feature in Internet Sharing but cant get it to work.
Firstly, I got the bluetooth dongle connected with the Bluetooth PAN. It tells me that they are connected and communicating with each other, the bluetooth software (bluesoleil) even provides me with an ip address, however when I try browsing on my laptop I get the message page cannot be displayed...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why it does not work?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Seems like when the connection is established it gives the windows bluetooth adapter a weird ip address
like: 169.254.6.198
but I checked in network adapters of the 8525 everything is set for ip addresses to be assigned automatically .. strange..
in windows xp its also set to assign the ip address automatically :S
im not sure what else to do..
Launch Internet Sharing on your Hermes & set the PC connection to bleutooth PAN. Now, make sure the Network Connection is set to your correct data connectiion and press connect. It should say "Waiting for connection" Next, connect your PC & Internet Sharing should show "Connected". If you still can't surf then its a bluetooth driver issue on your PC. The built in M$ bluetooth stack (XP SP2 & >)works correctly with bluetooth PAN for sure. YMMV on others. The latest Toshiba BT stack definitely works too (based on pesonal experience).

I tried a few Roms, but now I am using urs the latest one dev 3.2
Always was a fan of your roms, but I cant get that bluetooth pan to work.
I also tried with WIDCOMM and Bluesoleil...
I get no where..
Anyone please??

Which bluetooth dongle you used...just curious?
Which chipset?
Ok, guys, got the problem resolved..it was the sucky bluetooth adapter from ebay "ISSC bluetooth adapter", piece of crap.. went to walmart got a usb 2.0 device for 25$ and all is well now.
Accessing & Using the internet via USB
I have an unlocked HTC S620 & TyTN (Hermes).
When I connect the TyTN to the USB I am able to browse the internet as the phone uses the PC as a gateway automatically.Even if I do not setup a profile for activesync and the software recognises the device as "Guest". I am ceretain that this is the case and not accessing the service via the carrier or WiFi as I have enabled flight mode and been able to use the internet on the TyTN, browsing, using IM+ Mobile Mesenger etc.
I do not find the same functionality with the HTC S620 (T-Mobile Dash). Does anyone know how to get this functionality going?
Usually you always need to make a partnership for internet pass through to work. Strange you don't with the Hermes.

When you say partnership I asume you mean bluetooth.
I Turned on Flight mode and diabled bluetooth on the TyTN, connected it to the PC. Activesync came on and I cancelled setting up a profile so it was registered as guest. I got internet access via the usb cable connected to the PC. The same is not working for the S620.
I guess the distinction between the two is the TyTN is a Pocket PC and the S620 is a smartphone. There are various Ethernet Miniport Cards available for configuration on the TyTN. You find these under Settings>>NetworkCard>>Network Adapters. The one I find that shows up as connected is IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wifi Adapter, this I find strange as the device is in flight mode. The S620 does not have all the features and configurable network adapters under settings. Simply put a smartphone will not have all the networking capability of the Pocket PC
Let me know your thoughts please, or if you have another solution.
Here is how I got mine working.
1) Connect phone to pc.
2) Make sure ActiveSync shows connected.
3) Under ActiveSync Window select File->Connection Settings...
4) Change the "This computer is connected to:" setting from "Automatic" to "The Internet".
5) Under you phone go to IE -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections and make sure "Automatically detect settings" is enabled.
That's it. You should now be able to browse the internet through your pc connection.
Forgot to mention I am using ActiveSync ver 4.5.
Dash Internet Sharing Files on S720
On my HTC S720, there was no Internet Sharing option, even though it is WM6 unit. So after reading lots of threads on here and hofo, found out Blackjack had similar issue, as well as some WM5 devices running AKU 3 or higher.
So I copied intshrui.exe, intshare.dll and intshrui.lnk from Dash WM6 Rom dump, created relevant registry entries as:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\DefaultIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14294"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\SelectIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14295"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING]
"0"="MSINTERNET_SHARING"
"1"="IntShrUI.exe"
"2"=dword:00000001
"3"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\Session]
@=hex:00,db,4d,43,70,b9,c7,01
Then run intshrui.exe and while I can connect via Bluetooth PAN, I couldn't get any IP. I also tried a static IP and that didn't work as well. I investigated a little more, and found another key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing]
"DisabledOnBoot"=dword:00000001
"EnableAddressTranslation"=dword:00000001
"EnableDhcpAllocator"=dword:00000001
"EnableDnsProxy"=dword:00000001
"EnablePacketFiltering"=dword:00000001
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
"SetLastDhcpAddrToIEH"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\Driver]
"Dll"="ipnat.dll"
"Flags"=dword:00000002
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="NAT"
Then I copied ipnat.dll to s720. Here is the interesting part. If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing exists, intshrui.exe will not connect, it will briefly grey out and come back to disconnected mode. As soon as I delete the key, it will setup USB or BT PAN and wait for connection (left soft key turns to Disconnect). I don't even have to reset the unit while making change to this key. Also, I left the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing as empty, and noticed as soon as I run intshrui.exe, it will populate
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
keys under ConnectionSharing key. I also tried to change various reg keys, such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter to 1, and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Connectivity]
"InternetSharing"=dword:00000001
None helped as well.
Am I missing a file or reg key to make this work? I looked on my Dash for various keys/files but didn't see anything useful.
has anyone figure out how to get internet sharing on wm6?
Have a look at;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1517183&posted=1#post1517183
I posted up the files and a .reg file taken from my WM6 Dopod 838, but I don't know if everything required is there. If anyone knows what else is required I'm happy to copy it from my device and post it here.
Would you mind posting ipnat.dll - it is missing from Blackjack II WM6..

6.1 Internet Sharing Problem *R.I.P.*
Has anyone figured out why Internet sharing NO LONGER works with any 6.1 roms that i flashed to? From Kavanas ROM s to Ricky's Remakes.
Is there a fix to this?
Can any of you "smarter" Gents or Ladies, look into this.
this is wierd. who is your operator? mine works just fine with the settings i use. maybe we should find out if this problem only exist for certain operators. might also have to do with the network connections on the pc. like i said in another post, i noticed a new network connection appears when you sync the phone, unlike in wm6.0. another thing is i would have problems with activesync everytime i flashed to a new rom without doing a uninstall & reinstall of activesync.

Shouldn't be operator issue. Worked great prior to updating to 6.1. (T-Mobile USA)
What rom are you using?
damn u were quick to respond. i edited my first post. im usin the new v15 rom. and tmobile is my operator.
ediit: i just messed with my settings and went back to how i had them before and now its not letting me do the internet share. hmm... this is not cool
Iv used V14, V8 and V5 and none of them allow my internet sharing to work. V5 worked at first but then stopped.
I really like 6.1 but I NEED that internet sharing
WHAT settings are talking of? that work for you?
INTERNET VIA USB PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
ok i think the problem may be with activesync. like i said, in my second post edited, i had messed with the advance settings of connections menu, and reverted back and it stopped net sharin via usb. i noticed activesync gave me an error sayin somethin about not being able to fully connect but i was still able to browse my phone, also giving me a constant animation of the activesync icon, saying "connecting" never stopping when a full connection is establish. when i fixed this and the icon stopped turning and said "connected" i tried and it worked.
on a fresh install of the past couple of roms, this is what i did... (from an earlier post of mine)
this is what i did. use the "connection setup" in the accessories folder. choose country & operator. dont think it matters but i also selected "Enable Auto Configuration" under the menu.
in explorer, under "menu/tools/options/connections" Auto.Detect Settings is selected. under "Select Network" choose The Internet.
now go into ur phones "Connection" settings, select "GPRS". in my case, select, "T-Mobile WModem Link", under "Connects to", select The Internet. for other operators, guess look for somethin similar. now u should be able to share via usb.
one thing u might have to do is, delete whatever gprs settings u have now and power off and back on. then do the above.
sorry if this is so messy looking
Can you post the entry "seetings" for "T-Mobile WModem Link"
I manually entered my connections.
So i dont have the modem link
