Activesync 4.0 not connecting

I'm not sure if I should start a new topic about this but it seems a lot of people have problems connecting Activesync 4.0 (build 4343) and the device. I'm one of them.
I have 2 pc's and I'm trying to connect a WM5 device to both.
The 1st pc (Windows XP sp2) works instantly, connects immediately, lets me create a partnership and I can synchronize.
The 2nd pc (Windows XP sp2) tries to connect but fails. The activesync wheel keeps spinning but no connection is created.
Since I'm not the only one with this problem it would be appreciated if the real tech die hards could shine a light on this.
Thanks.

PC Internet Pass Through

Sorry, I really have searched everything I can think of. I have looked all over, I am just trying to find out what the regedit is to use the internet connection on my computer via usb on my t-mobile dash. I am running WM6.1 and have no signal over here for my phone. internet on the computer yes, but dash no. Does anyone know or know where I can look for it? I promise I have searched.

hook a wifi router up =)
other than that maybe put a bluetooth receiver on the pc and connect the phone to it?

I'm useing kavanas 6.1 rom i tweaked it a little but point being when i plug my dash into my comp and it syncs with active sync my phone accesses my computers internet connection which i think its designed to do. how do your internet and active sync settings look like?
under your USB to PC settings under connections do you have the Enable advanced network functionality checked?

Use ActiveSync to "pass through" this computer. That means the connected device can use the computer's network connection as if it were its own. You can use this feature to perform tasks such as downloading non-Outlook e-mail messages, to connect directly with Microsoft Exchange, or to browse the Internet.
Important Note For additional security, disable network bridging on the PC (specifically, bridging to a Remote NDIS adapter) before connecting to the PC to pass though to the Internet or a network. For more information on network bridging, see Windows Help on the PC.
Click Connection Settings.
Select Open ActiveSync when my device connects.
In the This computer is connected to list, select a connection to which this computer should connected when passing through ActiveSync.
thats from activesyncs help.
i guess i never realized it did that...yet i do it everyday...when its plugged in, edge doesnt even try to connect, it defaults to the pc

Thanks

Sprint usb pc to phone modem needed asap. wm2003se

k. i live in the woods and my dsl modem fried from lightning last night. i have a ****ty isp that can only be reachable by submitting a service request via email since i work during their service hours of 12-3pm. i have to wait a week for a new modem
tldr; i need a program and directions that have proven to work'
here's my setup
windows xp sp3
audiovox 6600(camera)
windows mobile 2003se
usb cradle

well, what is your actual problem, connect your device to gprs, put it in the cradle and if activesync is set to accept, that the device runs wireless data connections, even while cradled, your internet connection should work. your pc should simply use the devices gprs then and automatically be connected to the internet. other alternatives (in case that doesn't work) would be, if you have wi-fi on your pc, you can try and install a wi-fi router software to your device and connect your pc to it just like with a normal access point, a freeware to try would be htc wifi router, although i fairly doubt any of those programs run with wm2003, but that should give you a clou, what to look for.

problem: wm2003se has no easy way to bum internet off of, only through the usb cable
sprint is cdma
there is no 802.11 wifi on this phone.
Still looking for help.

Remote Desktop Connection from TP2 to Vista home PC... anyone made it happen?

Has anyone got this to work.
I spent the last 8 days trying to figure out what was wrong with this, only to find out that vista cannot (by default) act as a RDP host.
well after i found that out i was RDP'ing to my home computer in as little as 5 minutes. I can connect to my home PC from my laptop or anyother computer using my external IP or my Dyndns name. Works awesome.
Now i am getting a new error on my TP2 when i try to connect.
the error reads
"The connection was ended because of a network error.
Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

I installed a "hack" as it were to give my Vista home premium machine the ability to become a RDP Host instead of just a client and i am wondering if maybe that this fix was not designed to allow this kind of connection
the fix turned on terminal services for RDP and set the port 3389 and said it was listening.
so i was wondering if anyone else using Vista Home (premium or basic only not the others) has got this to work on their TP2
Need some help please. i have a question on yahoo answers microsoft answers, ppcgeeks, and 2 other forums. and i am not getting anywhere...

I'm using Vista Ultimate so the hack to make remote desktop work was probably different than what you've done, but if you have it working from another location/device there is no reason remote desktop should not work from your TP2. I have mine working just fine. I connect to servername:443 (the port I am redirecting traffic to). There are multiple steps involved in this since you need to forward the traffic from your router to your PC if you are connecting from outside your LAN.

i have gone through a bunch of steps.
i have my ports forwarded and all that..
like you say... if i can connect from my laptop... there is NOOO reason i shouldnt be able to connect from my TP2.
I connect through either my external IP or my DYNDNS from my latop..
(Lan IP works too) But when i type either in my computer name nothing works
i have tried adding :3389 to the end of both and i have tried my user name and password and i have tried it withought. i have tried it with my routers domain name and without. i have tried everything i can think of..
simply there is no reason that this shouldnt work if i can connect from other computers... there is even pictures on PPCGeeks of people having it up and running. so its possible im just missing something.

it worked straight for me. With stuff like this it helps to break it up into it's component steps:
can you get it to work on another PC networked
can you get it to work on another device (PC) remotely and through the firwall?
Then you are left with TP2 issues if it doesn't work when the previous steps do.
This may not be much help as it seems that you know what you're doing
PS it worked for me straight away 'cos I was already using RDP on the PC with other devices

havent used vista home, afterall if your 'hacking' it for remote desktop........
but you have to forward port 3359 i believe it is on your router, to your pc's static ip. You HAVE to set a password if you havent done so already. It works rather well actually once connected.

Have a look here:

It´s almost the same process for Vista

bajunadustin, were you able to fix the problem? Because I am having the same exact problem myself right now.

Question - Can you tether a Wifi connection from your Phone to your PC

Hello, I have been searching around for a day and a half now to no avail. I figure I will ask here as a last attempt before I go and buy another USB wifi adapter.
I am trying to use my HTC Dash with WM6.5 to tether an available wifi connection over to my Windows 7 PC. Basically trying to use the phone as a wifi adapter. The phone has no cell data service, but can connect to the home wifi network that is here. My Windows 7 PC has no Wifi adapter (I left it behind >.<).
Here is where I am at. The HTC Dash is connected to the Wifi network, and when I try to select a Network in the ICS program, it says there is none available. I have been able to get USB selected in ICS, and the phone connected to the computer. In Windows I see a Windows Mobile Remote Adapter in the Network Connections area when I sync the device in Windows Mobile Center. But no matter what I try, ICS sharing on the phone will not let me select the Wifi connection it has.
Through my searching I have found a lot of information on tethering 2G and 3G internet through USB, and using the phone as a Wifi Hotspot. But those where no help in this.
My friend on a G1 with Andriod can tether Wifi connections to a pc, and I am wondering if Windows Mobile can do the same thing. I can flash my ROM from to 6.0 or 6.1 WM if needed.
Thanks in advance to any advice given, hopefully someone can help me out

UPDATE: Still have no luck. I found a program called ICS Control v.21, but it only works on touchscreen WM phones, not WM standard. Which means a bunch of crashing.
This program would do exactally what I need it to do... just does not support my phone. Well the search continues... looking like I may just have to go buy an USB Wifi adapter soon.

tethering w/wifi
It does work. I'm currently answering this on my 2nd desktop Vista with my S620 via my home wifi network. Waiting for a 25' ethernet connector to hardware to wifi/modem Not quite sure how it is with a wifi adapter but 2 things I do know from experience. You shouldn't need an adapter.
1st: you can't be in Sync Center while trying to tether, at least in my case on a Vista desktop. It won't let you tether while the sync is running (or your already synced).
2nd: (this worked for me) open internet sharing on your Dash/S620, pc connection-usb and be ready to hit connect the 1st couple of seconds after pluging your usb connector into your phone, and give it 10-20 seconds to actually connect. If you wait to long to hit connect, the phone will start syncing with the computer. Won't let you tether.
RE-read post, missed thar "WinMo" remote part. My bad. Don't own Win 7. Don't know what that is.
Question: Is there an active wifi where you are ? From your post it sounds like "yes"
You do not need a wifi adapter. You do need a USB cord.
I tethered with edge for a bit, but then got to thinking. Try Wifi. It worked, but be quick.
Neither one is super fast but Wifi is definitely faster than Edge. Better than not being on the net at all. Occasionally it'll cut out, just unplug usb, get to connect screen, plug in and hit connect. Should be set.
As a side note: I also tried tethering with G1. Xferd pc driver to Vista from G1 but computer says it can't find the driver. Gave up after 2 hours.
G1 tethering works great on XP though.
Hope this helps. Good Luck. Really cool when it works.

Are you using a wifi tether or just usb?
If wifi, what program/version are you using and where did you get it? I got the ICS usb tether working, but my version of wmwifirouter.cab won't even install on the dash. cheers

I'll have to break out the Dash again and let you know. It's been sitting for weeks since I repaired LCD screen and flashed my TMO Wing. Can't seem to stop playing with it.
Give me a little time and I'll get back to you.
You do have a wifi modem, correct ? I was using usb.

Right, just to be clear, my goal is to set up my Dash to receive it's edge data and transmit that out as a wifi signal that my laptop will pick up and connect to the internet. No USB connection. I'm getting an ipad eventually and this is all to avoid that stupid 3g garbage they're hawking.
I tried a program called wmwifirouter.cab but was unsuccessful. An ad-hoc wifi network was created by my phone and my laptop was connected to it but couldn't connect to the internet. And my phone kept crashing.
Any ideas? Thanks

Well, in your case, I won't be any help. What I did was run a 2nd computer off of my Dash with a Wifi Modem.
XP in another room with a wifi modem attached on Comcast, Dash on wifi and usb to Vista computer, since I didn't have a 25ft ethernet cable at the time.
Was running Vista-Dash-wifi modem-XP to comcast so I could run 2nd computer without being hard wired.
I'm familiar with wifirouter cab. It let's you use your phone like a hotspot, correct ?
In all my searches for various things for the phones, I thought I saw a different application that did the same thing. Possibly might even have it. I'll check and upload for ya if I find it. Have hundreds of cabs/zips to search. Let you know.
Possibly google it and you might find it yourself. There's a program called: WalkingHotSpot online for $24.99 if you don't mind spending. Dash isn't listed as a supported windows device but looking at the other phones listed my guess would be it should work. Try their DEMO version, see if it works.
Good Luck.......
2AM and I was just wondering......When you received your phone, you also got a usb cable with it, right ?
Why don't you just usb Dash to laptop and use "internet sharing" ????

My plan is to set this up for an iPad, which doesn't allow internet access over a USB cable, so USB tethering is out, has to be wifi.

Do you have a home computer ? If so, get yourself a Wifi Modem and set up a home network. $40-60. Although Comcast sold me mine for $20 and I get to keep it. I can get all 5 phones on the internet at the same time, not that I need to. It'll also be so much faster then running thru Edge. Besides the fact video's don't play for crap tethered running through Edge. Just a suggestion.
My opinion stands concerning Apple. Get ready to cough up more fees for internet (ATT). They're doing away with unlimited data. Did you see their prices ?
You'll never catch me with ATT.
I just put WMWifiRouter on my TMO Wing 6.5. let you know how it worked. Setup went fine, so far.

did you try downloading the actual .cab from WMWIFIROUTER.COM it's only a trial for 21 days, the "Free" versions don't work on the dash i've tried many of them.
once you install and get it set up be sure to write down the Access ID and Password it gives you so you can connect to the WiFi signal beaming from your phone from your PC. It works for me to tether a WiFi connection from my Dash to PC though I prefer the more stable Internet Sharing USB to PC and I have an Unlimited Data Plan.
WMWIFIROUTER also lets you tether a connection from your phone via bbluetooth.

I use WMWiFiRouter and its a life saver. It lets you pretty much tether any connection to any other.
Just yesterday I was at a meeting in a resturant with some clients and used it to hook my netbook to the internet and used bluetooth as the connection to the phone. Yes, Internet Sharing can do that, but it has alot more it can do too.
You can use Bluetooth, USB (it shows up as a USB modem), or even set it up as a WiFi Router.
Very cool program and it works perfectly on the Dash. I love it.
I never tried the trial version. A friend of mine showed it to me, so I just bought it. It's under $20. Well worth it if you run into that situation often.
