Hi there. I finally found a thorough file sync solution between PC and PDA. It contains of local-network only FTP server on PDA and a sync program on pc which can access FTP and has wildcard filtering ability. I use it to sync all PDA-readable/editable contents (171 formats) of pc-s DESKTOP and MYDOCS in realtime continous manner. The problem I ran into is that this works well over wifi but activesync network connection doesn't seem to let me to the home network. I'd love to actually do it just over activesync. I know activesync is ip-based network room which even dont need an internet connection. How do I enter into that room?
I also tried PocketWizards Easysync but it doesn't seem to count the real free space I have. It only knows the free space of internal memory and thinks the content wouldn't fit to the 16Gb storage card.
confusing text
Sorry. As usual I hurry expressing myself here. The question:
How can I access the same home network through activesync where my laptop is (the ip standard is 192.168.1.*)?
SOLVED
It just works now... I dunno what I did :S

Hey guys.....
I read in another post that https is supported by the xdaII but it didnt say whether it was through GPRS.
The reason I ask .... I have to purchase 3 pda/phones and this looks ideal.......if I can connect through GPRS connection to the https exchange server and send recieve emails.
Thanks in advance.

Scarper, I run my own little mail server at home which has a https web frontend in addition to serving POP & IMAP requests. I can access my mailbox on XDA2 via GPRS through the https frontend. Transport-wise I can safely say you should be able to access MS Exchange mailboxes via https. Question is what frontend would you be hitting? OWA? These things are rarely designed for the 240x320 screen size & GPRS bandwidth. You may find that access is unbearably slow or generally unusable due to UI limitations. Last but not least, if OWA uses any ActiveX components not supported on Pocket Internet Exporer you may still be out of luck. Hope this helps. Let us know how you go. Best of luck.
thanks for quick reply k_kirk .....
It will be going through OWA, now i have a dell axim connected to my home network and it uses owa to my work email no problem so i am guessing there will be no software issue.....I realise the speed through gprs will be slow but as long as it work I dont mind that.
Anyone else had an experience with this....comment or thoughts appreciated
Thanks again.
Scarper
Hi there. You are most welcome. This is most encouraging. An option you may want to try is fronting it via terminal services and access via the terminal services client on the PPC. This may give you a slight improvement in performance depending how heavy OWA is. Just a thought. Will wait to hear about your experiences. Regards
@scarper: What did you do for getting OWA to work via PIE?
Besides the scrolling you have to do on the MDAII,
I CAN get in, but once I want to open any email, it just doesnt repond . . .
edsub I am using a dell axim at the moment....I didnt do anything special just logged in and apart from all the scrolling it works......I dont know why or if it is supposed to......but it does.....so I am not complaining. Just as long as the xdaII works on it too, or I'll be in trouble because we have just ordered three xdaII's for use on the road for email.
If you want to know anymore info like settings in IE I would be willing to answer as best I can.
Cheers

Hi all,
First post here. :roll:
Anyway, i have recently got a Vario and i have sucessfully connected it up to a latop wifi via an ad hoc setup. Anyway, i know its working properly because i can view webpages that are being dished up via a webserver installed on the laptop (using IP address as the url).
Anyway, i now want to copy some files off the laptop (via a shared folder). I have opened up file explorer and selected browse path and then entered the ip address and the share (\\192.168.0.1\share). However, WM5 does not want to connect to it saying that it cannot find the server.
Is this a known issue with the file explorer? :?:
Cheers
Okay, found the problem now. Aparently you have to use the actually names instead of IP addresses.
I have tried endlessly trying to get this to work but I can't. My pc is connected to my wireless router by wire and my wizard by wifi an I'd like to access my PC files from my wizard (and the other way round if possible) Do I need an Ad-hoc connection for this? I have tried using resco, Gsfinder+, total commander and the built in file explorer to map a network drive but it never works. TC and GSfinder say the usual connot connect bla bla and "Error 53". I have also tried setting my connection to connect to 'Work' but this had no effect.
I have enabled file and printer sharing on the PC, and shared the 'shared documents' folder. Then in 'My Network Places' I added the folder as a network place. The PC's name is 'Family' and the shared folders name is SharedDocs. If I right click on the folder (called 'SharedDocs on Family')and select properties, it says '\\FAMILY\SharedDocs' but If I try this on my wizard it does not work. What am I doing wrong? I don't get it?
Anyone any ideas?
Anyone?
Thanks in Advance
Problem fixed. Recently got a laptop, set up shared folders and printer sharing, then it started to work on my phone
Hello everyone,
As in the title I have Wizard with faria's WM6.0 and on my desktop Vista x64 + Office 2007. I noticed a few irritating bugs (don't know if the reason is in WM6 or the desktop).
1. Device lock - thread here
2. Empty notes in each appointmen/task.
If I create any task or appointment on my PC and then sync that into Wizard they contain empty note inside. When you click notes tab it's empty, but next to each app/task there is a note icon. You need to delete manually first row to get rid of it.
3. Internet sharing through WiFi
I'm sharing dial-up connection over WiFi. When I connect my laptop everything is fine, but when I connect Wizard I cannot access any web page. Actually when I set Wizard's IP to 192.168.0.2 I'm able to ping googles IP (i.e. not www.google.com, but current IP of their site). When Wizard's IP is dynamic nothing works.
If any of you managed to solve some of those problems please share this knowlegde.
Can I reach to the files of my notebook with Wi-Fi smartphone in my wireless area? I want to perform a network between my smartphone and notebook with Wi-Fi network. Is it possible?
No on smartphone you cannot access files that are on your notebook.
Try a VNC (easy).
Start with something like this: TightVNC (free) as a server on your notebook and .Net VNC Viewer (free) as a client on your phone; read and play.
There is lag time in rendering on the little screen; not to mention that it's a little screen (you might tire of looking at it and/or navigating).
Another good client is VNC+; it worked best for me among the clients that I tried but there is a cost.
You will be able to access your notebook via any Wi-Fi connection provided that your server is running and connected to the internet.
Good Luck.
FTP is a good solution too.
Install a FTP server (I use free GuildFTPd) on your laptop, and create a user with access to all drives or folders of interest. Make sure that no acces from the internet is possible if not neede for security reasons. Use a strong password.
Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander as client. This way you can download or upload files from your laptop.
Hi!
When I have my PDA connected to my PC using bluetooth and activesync, I can use the Internet connection of the pc directly from my PDA. For instance I can launch Mobile IE and visit a web page.
However I cannot use the Voip function of my PDA. The Today plug-in shows 'No service' status for my voip configuration (if I connect to Internet using WiFi, Voip works).
In the beginning I thought that ActiveSync only allows port 80 (HTTP) access. However I can also download or send e-mail messages using POP3/SMTP which use different ports.
Do you have any idea if I can also use Voip over the Internet connection shared by activesync?
Ha ha, good attention, however estimate should be be subjected to limiting of.The Voip used when Voip perhaps can'ted use "unit constitution"

I assume this is down to the NAT implementation on the Host PC and/or Windows Mobile 6.x not actually allowing this anyway - the PDA to PC uses the autoconfig IP network 169.254.0.0/16, all connections from the PDA are proxied via the host PC. I have just captured the traffic flow using WireShark from the host PC out (i.e. not the PDA to PC link) to see what is sent when the SIP client is started (Internet Calling). I can see the initial DNS lookup for the SIP server host (in my case 'sip.btsip.bt.net') which gets a valid reply, however there are no more packets transmitted from the host PC.
If I capture on the PDA-to-PC link (USB) I can see the DTPT protocol (DeskTop PassThrough protocol) which although WireShark understands it isn't very intuitive. I can see a 'QuerySet' with the DNS name embedded (sip.btsip.bt.net) but there is little else.
I really don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing this and to be honest I don't think the Windows Mobile is even trying. I have captured several conversations over WiFi when I first got the SIP client working and the conversation I am seeing here is nothing like them.
