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,
I'm experiencing the following problem with my Cruise.
When having the Cruise connected to my PC through USB cable (Activesync on), mobile applications other than IE cannot access the Internet.
My configuration is:
on ActiveSync
my computer is connected to: "work network"
on the Cruise
start > parameters > connections > connections
advanced tab > network selection is set to work network for both types of networks
proxy configuration on the other tab is the correct one for my network
The only application on the Cruise capable of connecting the Internet with this configuration is IE: when starting, it asks for proxy username & password and pages are loaded correctly.
Any other application (the HTC today screen, when looking for the meteo data, Opera, QuickGPS...) do not arrive to connect the Internet falling in timeout (no request for proxy authentication).
Of course, at home (ActiveSync configured as connected to the Internet) everything work fine and all applications connect to the Internet w/o problems.
Any idea?
Thanks
Hi all.... ive got pretty much the problem? Any solutions guys??
Pretty much same here, except for QuickGPS... it manages to connect somehow.
it works for me, but without proxy...
Maybe this would help you?
Hey Wis38!
Just try to open the following ports ins your proxy:
990 (RAPI)
999 (Status)
5721 (DTPT)
5678 (Legacy Replication)
5679 (Handshake & Legacy Replication)
26675 (Airsync)
For further informations try the MS kb259369 and kb904667.
btw, good luck
Frank
Yeah, thanks.
But I'm not proxy administrator, and can't open those ports...
Any other ideas?
Ask your admin
Hmm...
I think then you have to ask aour admin...
Frank
try this
I had the same problem

How can I use my Polaris like USB modem to connect Notebook on internet.
Is there some application or something like that?
Thanks.
try this one
on your device, go to start menu > programs > internet sharing
choose which connection you want to use (USB or BT) then press connect
if you choose USB, plug the USB cable to both PC and device immediately after connetion established.
if you choose BT (you have to make sure that your device have been paired to the computer), connect to your device through BT network access
in internet sharing mode, all activesync connection will be disconnected
there is a registry hack for windows to fix this issue, but normally the issue also effects syncing. But the bad news is that itsmore then likley that your network admin has locked down this type of access.
only IE keeps working via proxy.
Other 3rd party apps seem to prefer a direct connection ignorinng how windows settings are actually used to reach the Internet
I have exactly the same problem: IE can reach the Internet via the proxy in our work network and other apps like QuickGPS cannot.
Strangely enough this happens only with my HTC Touch cruise and does not happen with my Fujitsu Loox N560, which has exactly the same settings.
I have to note that I upgraded recently to WM 6.1 on the TC and that with WM6 it used to work
Any ideas
same problem for me... (qtek S200 & win 6.1)
I updated to the lovely windows 6. I could sync to my XP computer no problem until I've used the internet sharing utility. Then everytime I connect the phone to the computer, the computer networks with the internet sharing utility and activesync doesn't get a look in.
If I delete my vodafone 1240 from the activesync devices I can start again until I use internet sharing again.
I need both. How can I stop internet sharing so that activesync will again recognise the computer? I connect via the usb port.
Try to accept wireless connection in ActiveSync.
not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):
1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.
When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.
In case if the above post doesn't help
Activesync on PC uses LAN interface for data transfer between PC and WMPhone.
When you enable internet connection sharing it changes some connections' settings to manual - i.e. 192.168.0.1. So make sure that your LAN interface that is used by activesync, is set to get IP address automatically.
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'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.
Hey there,
i own a treo 500v with a cooked rom (my_rose 6.1[en]) running windows 6.1 standard. Im using a mac, thats why i have Syncmate running for sync options. Syncmate also supports internet sharing over USB to PC, means that i can use my mac internet connection for my treo 500, because i dont own a data plan.
Now the problem:
It is a pretty weird situation. The cooked rom contains the HTC HOME homescreen, containing a weather widget. As soon as im connecting to Syncmate over USB my weather widget is able to get the latest information from the web! This indicates, that there is clearly a working internet connection. Never the less, this is the only thing that works. I cant use Internet Explorer, nor the E-Mail Option of WinMo to receive my Mails. I also tried Opera Mini (Java), but it also fails to connect to the internet.
Im always referred to the Connections Settings of my mobile phone. To be honest, i have no clue how to properly set this up. So i wondered if here might be someone around who knows how it works right.
Thanks for all your help.
Cheers

Hi Chillar! There is no need to adjust any settings on you phone, it is enough to connect your mobile device with the Mac via USB and Internet will be shared automatically.
If this doesn't happen, then, please, try the following:
1. On your mobile device go to Start -> Settings -> "Connections" tab -> Connections and check which connections are listed in "My Internet" section. If there are any Internet connections via cellular network, please, disable or delete them.
2. As an option, please, try to reinstall SyncMate driver on your mobile device as follows:
- Go to Remove programs application
- Choose SyncMate driver and press Remove
- Reboot your mobile device
- Reconnect your phone to your Mac via USB
3. If the above still doesn't help, then please, try to open any web page on your mobile device - for instance google.com - and let us know (contacts us at [email protected]) what message you receive from the browser on your mobile device in return.
Have a perfect day!
I need to connect my PPC to internet via my computer (via USB cable or Bluetooth) can I do this?
Btw, Windows Mobile 6.1 is running on my device.
If i persume you mean you want to use the interenet from your phone on your computer then yes it's possible, "Internet Sharing" most WM phone have it built in.
If the opposite way you just use async or WMDC.
Yes, you guessed. My PC is connected to Internet but my mobile device isn't. So I need to connect my mobile device to the internet using my computer. I've tried WMDC but I couldn't find anyway to accomplish this
I found it, thank you!
Mobile Device Settings -> Change Connection Settings -> This computer is connected to -> Automatic
