Is there a way to disable the internet passthrough in activesync? I use a remote software that allows me to use my phone on my PC when docked, SOTI pocket controller. So I like being docked at work, however (this is where this question gets weird)... my work has disabled the port to access MSN messenger on our network, I want to be able to sign in from time to time so I thought using my PPC would be great! However the internet passthrough in active sync means that it won't access the MSN messenger port either, because it's using the same network, so if I undock and connect using GPRS I can use messenger, so what I want to do is be docked still but have my device use GPRS internet instead of the passthrough, this way I can sign on to messenger while docked. Does this make sense? Respond if I'm not being clear enough. I have found web versions of messenger that work, it's just too slow for me and gets in the way, if I could use my PPC it would be just perfect! Thanks in advance, it's a weird one so hopefully someone will have a suggestion that will tickle my fancy out there!
I would like to know the answer to this as well. I have GL installed and cannot retrive new messages while my SX66 is docked.
As much knowledge as there is out there, this one seems to have the experts stumped.
Lots of people asking the question on the net and no answers.
I'm surprised no one has replied to this yet.... It's actually pretty easy to fix. Right click the ActiveSync icon in your tray and click connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" from 'the internet' or 'automatic' to work network. Your phone should no longer look for a connection through AS on these settings.
Doesn't work for me. The wireless data connection is immediately terminated on the phone once the USB cable is plugged in, regardless of how the XP ActiveSync software is configured.
That's rather odd, I used to do just that to make my AIM go through my phone rather than the computer while using MyMobiler.

have you tried the 'This computer is connected to:' and select 'Work Network', in the Connection settings dialogue box?
edit1: wow, typed this weeks ago, Google chrome saved the page till today...
edit2: on your phone, In connection settings in My Work Network, under the Proxy Settings tab, is 'This network connects to the internet' ticked? try un-ticking it if it is...
Work or "The Internet" it doesn't matter what I select on ActiveSync. It still disables the H on my phone as soon as I connect the USB cable.
For connections on my phone, all I have even in the list of connections is MEdia Net. I can't uncheck Internet there or else I wouldn't get Internet while disconnected.
Despite the fact that my only existing connection on the Settings/Connection page is MEdia Net and that only is set for "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" I still can only access the Internet through my work server when connected to my work desktop.
I noticed the same behavior when syncing via Bluetooth. As soon as the connection with ActiveSync is established, wireless connectivity is shut off.
My apologies for the kick, but if someone knows the aswer, please enlighten me!
I cannot disable the internet pass-through either, not even when I select "Network (work)" in "This computer is connected to" in the Windows Mobile Device Center (The Vista version of ActiveSync).
I have set-up Exchange on my phone, which connects to domain.com. My Exchange server runs in my network, so when I connect the phone it should connect to 192.168.1.2 instead of domain.com. If it would stay on HSDPA, then the connection would remain OK. Because of this, it won't sinc with my PC either, because it keeps hanging on connecting to ActiveSync (of which the server cannot be resolved).
Many thanks to the person who knows the answer!
This thing is a bigger pain than it should be, that's for sure. I think I got it working - simultaneously syncing via Exchange over GSM and locally through USB (obviously not the same items).
In my setup Contacts, Calendar, E-Mail, and Tasks are using the mobile network to connect to our Exchange server's external Push interface. Notes, Mobile Favorites, Files, and OneNote are syncing through USB or Bluetooth (I tried both) when I connect locally.
I'm currently running Vista on this PC so things might be different on XP or Windows 7. On the PC in Windows Mobile Device Center I enabled "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC" and changed "This computer is connected to:" Work Network.
In Windows Mobile, in the connections manager, edit the existing connection. MEdia Net shouldn't have a proxy set and under the Advanced tab click Select Networks - if the "Programs that automatically connect to a private network" is set to My Work Network then make sure and edit the settings to have "This network connects to the Internet" unchecked. Or alternatively, just change the private network to be Media Net as well. That should do it.
On your pc if you open up ActiveSync and go to file>connection settings and make sure "allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is checked you should be able to keep your mobile internet connection up while still connected to a pc.
I was wondering if anyone can manage to get their phone to be recognised as connected at all with Windows Mobile Device Center (any version) in Vista, when advanced networking functionality is ticked (thats on the phone in Settings->connections->USB To PC. When I connect the network connection shows up but WMDC does nothing and just sits there saying disconnected.
I can however get it to sync if I untick advanced networking, but I really need advanced networking to work and the phone to get a real IP address.
I've read lots and lots about disabling firewalls, checking certain services are running but now I'm clueless. So I'd really like to know if anyone has managed to get this working?
Hmm I haven't had any problems synching mine. Make sure you have downloaded the latest release.

Hi,
Since AS 4.2 came out I have problems to use USB Internet passthrough in Activesync, als AS 4.5 did not solve this problem. I googled around a lot and also searched in xda forums but everyone is giving other instructions, some say this, some say it the other way. It also does not depend on the rom, I had the same problem on the wizard and now also with my TyTN on wm5 and wm6 roms.
So my question is: How to enable USB internet passthrough on ActiveSync 4.5? At the moment my desktop activesync is set to "automatic" in the connection settings, and on my device under Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks I have "Orange Internet" as the connection which connects to the internet (which has in the proxy settings "this network connects to the internet" enabled). and the work connection is "My ISP" which has no settings at all. I tried to add a new network connection but didn't even know which Modem I have to choose and so I gave this up.
I also tried to set my desktop activesync to either use "Work" or "Internet" instead of automatic but when I try to use Opera, Internet Explorer or any other program like downloading the weather data all programs say that the host or page cannot be found or report a network error.
Can anyone help with this, I'm really very desperate... Cause I also tried to find the correct settings for hours now, but without luck...
Thanks for any help with this subject.

do you use a proxy server for this pass through connection? what activesync partnership do you have setup "Guest" or a Normal one...
First to be able to use passthrough you must be connected to your PC via USB and thus connected to active sync. Active Sync should be fully set-up.
First question;
Can you synchronize your data through Active Sync 4.5.
If yes. Try to tick all the items in the desktop active sync> connections settings. On the space "this computer is connected to" select automatic
second: Can your PC connect to the internet?
If yes open the PC Internet Explorer and try to browse, then, while connected at USB, open Pocket Internet Explorer in your mobile and try to browse. You should be connected to the internet then. Good Luck!!
If still you wouldnt connect there must be wrong on your Active Sync partnership set-up
Two more tips:
1. Start/Settings/Connections/USB to PC - untic
2. http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/552203-post22.html

I don't use any proxy server for connecting to the internet, my PC is directly connected to a NAT Router, as well as my linux box and my girlfriends computer and all work perfect.
As for the activesync partnership, where do I see the type of my partnership or in other words, what is a "guest" partnership? The only thing I see is that my device is named "WM_marc1" and that activesync items sync perfectly but the internet passthrough won't work.
I hope you can give me further advice with this information. Thanks for you help

My data synchronizes perfectly through AS 4.5 and I have already checked all items in connection settings. Of course my computer is connected to the internet (see reply to walshieau) and honestly IE and pocket IE have nothing to do with internet passthrough, it's all about TCP/IP subnetting, bridging, tunnelling or whatever method AS 4.5 uses for internet passthrough.
Sorry if i am not explicit...but i hope this helps. For my wizard i remember i had to install a reg on the PC. It did some changes to the Active Sync registry.
The bad is that i don't have that reg

YES WORKS UNDER VISTA TOO
simply check the 'allow data connections on device when conneted to the pc' under connection settings and then plug the usb cable to pc.
Heres the Fix
I had the same problem and this reg key fixed it for me 100%
Download this file AND RENAME IT TO lspvalue.reg
the double click on the reg file on your PC

That's the one i was talking about, thanks i was going to need it too
Ok followed the procedures. I think anyone of them works. Mine worked by changing on PC activesync to "this computer is connected to: The Internet". Nothing else worked. I had the reg hack from the time of my beloved Wizard!
go to:
start -> settings -> connections -> advanced -> select network
make sure that
"programs that automaticaly connect to the internetshould connect using"
"my work network" and not "my isp"
then go to
start -> settings -> connections -> usb to pc
and make sure to uncheck "enable advanced network functionality"
that should do it

Still not working
Why can't someone come up with an ACTUAL solution to this?
When I connect my Tilt to the PC it automatically passes the internet connection through the PC. I did the registry fix and tried all four settings (0, 1, 10, 11) and still my data connection on the phone is overridden by the active sync desktop pass-through. I turned off the advanced networking option and still it goes through the PC. I even went through all the settings in active sync for "This computer is connected to" even though that doesn't even look like it would affect which connection my phone uses. This seems more like a setting within active sync on the phone more than anything.
I use my phone at work for chatting on yahoo IM (with Palringo) since my company network is filtered. I use a program called MyMobiler to transfer the phone display and controls to the PC so I can use my desktop keyboard for the chat program instead of my phone's keypad. Since the network is filtered the internet connection on my phone is filtered too since it's passed through the desktop when I active sync it to use MyMobiler. Sometimes Palringo will hold the connection even after I've connected to the desktop and sometimes it won't.
Bottom line here is can someone come up with an real working solution to this problem that a LOT of people are having?
HOW TO DISABLE DESKTOP PASSTHROUGH WHEN CONNECTING WITH ACTIVESYNC. Search that on google and here and all you will find are people saying "Yeah I have that problem too" or people telling how to connect WITH desktop passthrough.
I have a similar issue. I have my phone connected to my work PC to charge / sync, but all Internet connections attempted by the phone are being routed through my work network until I unplug the USB.
Naturally, that's very bad since all Internet traffic is logged by my work and many sources are blocked. I have an unlimited data plan on my phone. Why can't I stay connected to it when I'm hooked to ActiveSync?
I read someplace that Windows Mobile has an order of preference where connections are concerned. Probably hard line, then wi-fi, 3G and then EDGE. Surely there must be some way to modify this order of preference.
The thread is missunderstood...
The problem here is give to the PPC internet via usb... providede by a PC...
The solution that REG (that works for me EVER!!!).
And now other one provide internet to my PC via usb on phone account
With apologies, I'm not sure I understood what you said there.
But, some of us are actually trying to stop receiving internet by the USB.
I would like the phone to initiate a wireless 3G connection even when connected to the PC. But, thus far, all settings I've tried still cause my phone to attempt to access my business network here at my company.
Big no-no.
have you finally solved the problem?
If so just like to ask if you have change your homepage in ppc? which is
file://windows/default_0409.htm?
and have not run your network wizard? then maybe I have the solution here
Reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer/AboutURLs/
usually it is ( default value )
A.Blank value is res://webview.dll/blank.htm
B.Home_0409 value isfile://windows/default_0409.htm
C.version_0409value isfile://windows/default_0409.htm
if there is a new reg in that one try to delete that file again using a registry explorer ( depends on what you use to view the file)
turn it off for about 30 secs then soft reset... I hope this helps out
I'm not sure that addresses the issue, or mine at least. My phone disables HSDPA the moment I plug the USB cable into the phone and Active Sync takes over. It's before I even open a browser.
Not only does the phone start looking for Internet over the USB Active Sync connection, it looks for non browser related things like weather updates and sending mail to the gmail server.
Somewhere, it's coded to have an order of preference in what kind of connection it accesses. By default, it seems to look for any available land line connection, possibly wi-fi next, then 3G and then EDGE. I'd like to take the land line connection completely out of the equation.
I upgraded my Cingular 8525 today to Windows Mobile 6 with no problems that I can see except for one annoying thing.
When I have my device connected to my desktop, I get an error when trying to sync with my Exchange server.
I have my 8525 set up for Microsoft Direct Push. In the past, the 8525 would sync with Exchange through my computer and it's network connection. Now this not seem to work since upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.
===========================================
Many thanks to the folks who discovered this fix. You would think ActiveSync would have put this entry in itself. I was seeing both error code 85020006 and error code 80072f7d.
One simple registry edit and all is working perfectly. See below:
From: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/acti...shoot-as4x.htm
#23 If you are using ActiveSync 4.2 and have a problem with Desktop Pass-through it may be caused by a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that use the Windows TCP/IP stack. This has been known to occur with ISA Server. The registry file LSPValue.reg will reverse this setting. Microsoft and the Pocket PC OEM does not support users that edit the registry.

This MAY help you:
right click on the activesync icon in your system tray (on the pc).....click "connection settings".
on the drop down menu titled "This computer connects to:" change this from automatic to "the internet", then apply the settings.

Same Problem
I know this problem, but never found a working solution.
I can uncheck "Advanced Network Functionality", or change to "Work" under connection settings to succesfully sync with Exchange again, but thats not an option for me.
I want to have work and internet connection at the same time, because I also want to sync my IMAP account over the internet, and update my Weather Forecast automatically.
I know when I hard reset my device, it will work again, but I already did a clean install 1 week ago.
Who really knows why its working one day, and the next day it isn't working anymore???
I guess the problem occurs while using exchange-sync and IMAP at the same time. I had exactly the same problem. And in general, there is a problem with new ROMs since other users have to disable "advanced usb mode". That wasn't the case with older versions of WM6.
This helped for me:
1) Using Black Satin ROM
2) Do not use Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool
But my point is:
WHY is it working for several weeks, and then suddenly it STOPS working??
There must be an explanation isn't it?
It seems to be a problem with my PPC, cause when I perform a hard reset it will work again(but who knows for how long?)

guys i updated my .net framework n the roms r gettin updated but my sync still doesnt work
Just another data point... I had the same issue with my Mogul. I tried all the settings changes (Internet, Disable Advanced USB, etc, etc) Nothing worked until i read the MS thread and noticed someone got it working by turning on wifi and then turning it off. Worked for me also. Seems like some settings are getting cached somewhere....
Sorry for digging up and old thread, but I thought I would share something related to this subject.
I recently got a new Kaiser and Dell D830 laptop supplied by my work and was quite annoyed to be getting the 80072f7d error when syncing my exchange email via activesync while connected to my laptop with a USB cable.
I had came across the allowlsp registry setting which resolved the error, but since I was away on a 3 week work trip with nothing much to do, and not being happy about basically disabling a new 'feature' to make something work I was determined to get things working the way they should.
Going by the below articles I noticed that the registry entry either enabled or disabled Activesync desire to use LSP's (Layered Service Providers).
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/sams...3050-activesync-4-2-internet-pass-thru-2.html
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/troubleshoot.mspx
As the first link clearly states, Activesync ability to use LSP's is a good thing:
This allows for improved compatibility in environments where connections to the internet must be passed through these LSPs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So in situations where one might be using their laptop in numerous different locations and on different networks (airports, hotels etc) we would want it left on.
As per the second link:
When other applications install additional LSPs....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It pointed to the fact that some other application installed on my laptop must be causing the problem.
A quick google on "Layered Service Provider" Dell found me an article on the Dell website mentioning that:
Some versions of the Wave software written for Dell include the file biolsp.dll that adds Wave's Layered Service Provider (LSP) to the Winsock catalog, which...htm Future releases of Wave software written for Dell will not include biolsp.dll.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I figured...hmm...I have a bum LSP on my machine, and I have crazy pre-installed Dell software which uses one which is known to cause strange problems. A quick deinstall and reboot later and now Activesync is back working the way Microsoft intended...using LSP's but capable of syncing via pass-thru connection.
I'm happy to have found problem/cause/solution instead of a potentially problem causing workaround....and it passed an hour or two in a lonely Hotel room...win win

Delete the partnership with Activesync then reconnect my device and it started working again.
(Make sure you phone is not connected to the USB)
Open Activesync --> File --> Delete Mobile Device
fix outlook, and advance options off did not help..

Hi,
I cannot get my HTC620 connected to my pc with OS Vista.
The Sync centre cannot find the phone when connected via USB.
Is this a known problem or just me...?
Yeh it sucks, a massive reason to stick with XP and active sync
You can try going in settings, connections on your phone and turning off advanced usb functionality.
Also you can try different versions of device center, here is v6:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ea-9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&displaylang=en
And here is v6.1:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f1-e46a-4a5f-a791-09f07aaa1914&displaylang=en
Personally I couldn't get either of them to work. I'm pretty sure reinstalling wmdc has no effect on the rndis drivers that the windows mobile devices use to connect. Mine got in an irreparable state some how and wouldn't detect anything.
All this effort to get something working which sucks so bad. Its the worst device sync software I've ever seen, like years behind what active sync was. You'll see everything is a few clicks slower and even the syncing task tray icon is gone.
Bump cause I'm having the same problem. Disabling advanced functionality did not work.
Using windows mobile device center version 6.1.6965
Would love it if someone has found a way to make this work...
what works for me,
if you go into your settings > connections > usb to pc > UNCHECK "enable advanced network functionality"
with that unchecked, it should work!
cheers!
I had this problem and I solved removing, from control panel, WMDC and WMDC update, then rebooting and reinstalling WMDC 6.1 again!
(Unfortunately) I've found the problem but no way around it. I mostly access my PC remotely over remote desktop from my laptop. For whatever reason, wmdc only syncs with the account that is logged in locally. I've tried to get it to sync while connected to the remotely logged in account to no avail. I think this one is on MS to fix...
