it's seems that i can't find the right settings. I sync to an exchange server 2007 from my company. My configurations are already set up and works fine with a minor issue that i wish to solve.
- When i am over wifi or EDGE my phone just sync perfectly. I have a VPN connection, and activesync has the internal IP of the Exchange server. So i had set up an exception on settings-connections-connections-advanced-exceptions with the IP of the internal server. That forces the device to login to the VPN when i manually start a sync from the device.
- When i am over the PC (USB), on my LAN, and Activesync form the PC has the "This computer is connected to:" "Automatic" or "The Internet", it doesn't sync because the device tries to login to the VPN, which is not possible from inside the LAN. I had to change the PC ActiveSync option to "Work Network" as you can see on the attach picture in order to let the device sync on both scenarios (USB and Wifi/Edge) which works perfect. So, what's the problem? That when i use "Work Network" while connected through USB, the device can sync to local exchange, but can't connect to the internet (for example to browse a page). So i have to change that PC Activesync option every time i want to sync or browse the web.
Can anyone suggest me any configuration that let me do all the things (sync through the VPN when i'm on Wifi/EDGE, sync from PC when i am on USB on the LAN, and browse the web when i am also on USB without having to manually change Activesyn PC Settings?
Thanks!!!

Hi all,
I have an XDA IQ (HTC Tornado) device that on the whole I'm very happy with but it keeps throwing an annoying error message at me, every time I try to sync with my desktop PC.
Activesync is set up to synchronise with our corporate Exchange server, which we connect to via a private GPRS APN, which has no Internet connectivity. For my private POP3 email, I use O2's Mobile Web GPRS APN, which resolves to Internet. I've created a domain exception to ensure that whilst mobile, the correct connection is established, depending on whether I'm synchronising my private or corporate e-mail.
All is well here but when I connect to my windows PC to synchronise my other PIM data (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks & Favourites), my phone throws an error message at me, because I guess it's trying to sync to the Exchange server via my desktop PC and there is no connectivity.
The error reads: "Your Internet connection is not configured properly. Please verify your settings in Data Connections".
It makes no difference if I change my ActiveSync connection settings so that "This computer is connected to:" "Internet", "Work" or "Automatic" the error message always appears on my handset when I sync with my PC.
Can any of you think of any way around this please?
Is there any way of persuading ActiveSync not to sync with Exchange whilst connected to my PC or better still, to exclusively associate the Exchange sync with the private GPRS APN connection?
My guess is that anyone setting their device up to sync with Exchange via an internal WiFi network might be facing the same issue..
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!
I've had issues like this before but usually a reboot of the computer and phone get it working again. Make sure you've installed the certificate for your webmail (if one is required) and that you can connect to the exchange server when you're not connected to the computer. You may also be having a problem on your internal network, try connecting to webmail from your desktop as well.
Any application or way to share computer internet connection to Windows Mobile 5 using USB cable?
Should happen automatically as long as ActiveSync is running and has established at least a Guest partnership. You may also want to check "This computer is connected to" in ActiveSync connection settings.

i did ones worked fine via active sync but i could do it again message came up like i need to check my connection
Just disable the proxy in the Proxy Manager of the Programs screen.
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.
Ok, here's the problem.
How to configure my connection, so when I connect my device to Windows Mobile Device Center it can connect to the internet. When I set the Internet Connection Sharing, my phone stops syncing, it's as if I haven't connected it, and it continues, until I remove the ICS. Bridge isn't working aswell. I need it, so I can download QuickGPS and Weather info.
right i think i know what you mean. You want to access the internet on ur device when it is synced yes?
DOnt use internet connection sharing on the device, that is if you want to use your device as a modem (so to speak) using the phone network as an internet connection for your computer.
What you need to do is in WMDC (active sync in my case as i have xp) settings, ensure that in the connection settings "this computer connects to the internet" is selected. You should then be able to get internet thru your computer on your device whilst still syncing.
Let me know how it goes as i dont have WMDC (i dont like vista.... yet)
I meant I used Internet Connection Sharing on my PC nework adapter, sharing with the "Mobile Device Network".
WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet", but it still doesn't connect.
it doesn't work for me too; WMDC is configured as "This computer is connected to: The Internet"
I have one irritating oddity that I've experienced across several builds of windows mobile, 6.1 and 6.5. I sync my phone with work outlook via usb.
In work we have access to the internet via a proxy. My desktop runs XP and activesync 4.5, and I understand the desktop proxy settings should be passed over to windows mobile so any apps on the phone would be able to reach the internet.
The proxy address does get passed, but it appears in the "socks" entry, not the HTTP entry. I can fix this by opening activesync, click on...
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - automatic
then
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - work
then
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - automatic
then the proxy address will be in the "HTTP" and "socks" entries.
Does anyone know of any good fixes for this?
I suspect I will have to move to windows 7, but would be nice to get a quick fix, so I can just connect and go.
