Hi Guys,
I am running active sync 4.5 on my works pc and I want to connect my wm6 device to it whilst I am at work. However, my device checks my gmail and this is blocked via my works network, so i want my device to stay connected to gprs and use that instead of try to use my pc connection.
Is there a setting in Active sync to tell it to use its one connection to the internet instead?
I have set that this PC is connected to the Work network and that has not made any difference.
What else can I try?
Thanks
Doh, I reread the option underneath and the 'allow wireless connection whilst device is connected' sorts this out!
Ok tell a lie.
The GPRS now stays connected but the device isnt using it to connect to the internet. It still tries to use the pass through.
Anyway around this? I assume i need to adjust my connection settings to do with 'work' and the 't-mobile internet' connections.
Does anyone else have problems with Windows Mobile Centre just not connecting to their device? Looking in Device Manager, it recognises it as an 'MS Windows Mobile Remote Adapter' but not as a mobile device?
I was hoping to flash it soon, but this is rather a problem if Vista wont connect with it
Try going into settings/connection tab/USB to PC/uncheck the box "enable advanced network functionality".
plz post results if it worked.
I'm sorry, Settings on what? On WMDC the settings has no tabs...
That setting is on the device: start, settings, connection tab, usb-to-pc
By unticking it, you change the connection from an IP one to a USB one (and hence remove possible firewall problems from the equation).
The other thing to try is to remove the device pin lock setting and then connect .
Hi all,
My unbranded Touch Pro is not having any success with using my PC's Internet connection, via ActiveSync pass-through.
This is the case be it with my home laptop running Vista, or my Windows PC running Windows XP, which I've upgraded to run the latest ActiveSync.
When it connects, it seems to allocate the mobile an IP address, but the phone will not use it. It will just try anything else instead, such as GPRS.
The phone's Internet access via 3G, Wifi etc is just fine.
My old phone (HTC Hermes) still works just fine with both PCs in this regard.
So clearly I need to tweak something on the Pro to get this to work! Any ideas?
Thanks!

I know this is a very old post but I have the same problem, my phone connects, syncs etc.. BUT, if I try to update weather or update FB, it contacts, it still needs to connect to 3G (not event wifi)
Using NRGs rom on mu sig.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but try this:
Go to (on your phone) Start -> Settings -> System -> USB Settings
and make sure "Enable faster data sync..." is checked.
Disconnect and reconnect your phone to USB.
If that doesn't work, open ActiveSync on your computer and go to File -> Connection settings and enable "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop".
That should disable 3G while your phone is connected to your pc.
Besides BOTH of those, if it still doesn't work, check (on your computer) Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections.
Make sure there is an entry in there that says "Windows Mobile-based Device" as the grey subtitle under one of the "Local Area Connection" entries or anything else.
If the device STILL isn't working, the last thing to do is check your firewall.
If you have plain 'ol windows firewall, make sure that it's not enabled on the "Windows Mobile-based Device" connection. I know that usually is the most overlooked problem I've had.
Hope that helps you, I've had this happen to me a few times after flashing ROMs. Only thing is I don't have a data plan, so it sure was a costly mistake.

Did you try reestablishing a new relationship between your phone and AS?
Yes but still doesnt work.

Check your firewall, I know that was an issue I had recently with my phone. I had just installed ZoneAlarm and it decided to block everything going in AND out of my computer on all interfaces.
If it's not your firewall, then try turning off "Allow USB connections" in the ActiveSync connection config, reboot, then turn it back on. That should do the trick.
Thank you for the answers but I found the problem.Somehow the device driver was disabled in the Windows Device Manager.I just enabled it and it ran
Excellent! Good to hear you got it working

Go to Settings-Connections-Connections on your device then Advanced followed by Select Networks.
Theres two drop down boxes, the device will try to connect to the internet via the network selected in the first drop down box, if that fails then it'll go through the network in the second drop down box.
Try setting both of them to "My Work Network" which has no settings and see if that will allow you to connect to the internet from your computer via activesync.

I set mine to "Network," and then in the Proxy Settings Tab, I checked "This network connects to the Internet." This finally worked for me.
Hi there,
I have never been able to understand the difference between My ISP and My Work Network. So, I just deleted MyISP. In My Work Network, I have the GPRS connection and it works perfectly fine. If I connect to activesync, I can use internet. Good.
The problem comes when I want to connect to VPN. I make a new VPN connction, I click on it and click/tap connect. it connects GPRS but the vpn doesnt seem to get connected. And every tap will just give the option of CONNECT which basically means that its not getting connected.
Quetsions:
1. What is wrong with my setup?
2. How can I verify that im connected with VPN or not?
p.s: the vpn is managed by a friend of mine, right now its on L2TP and if any changes are required in the settings. it can be changed.
Im using wm6.5 , hd mini.
Hello,
I used the Zune workaround to update to Mango, but after that I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.
I could see the networks fine but when I try to connect it says it can't connect because the network is not responding.
The wireless network does not have a password, but I also tried it with a password and it didn't work either. HTC Mozart.
I restored the phone back to 7392 and it connects fine again.
Anyone have ideas for what I could try to get it to connect?
Thanks!
