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.

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.
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!!!
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!
Hi all,
I have a problem that I'm not able to solve: I searched the web searching for a solution but I found nothing working.
The question is that I cannot connect to internet on my PPC through activesync connection.
Here some more details:
- phone: HTC Touch Dual
- OS PPC: WM6
- OS Desktop: Windows XP
- Activesync: 4.5
- PPC is connected to desktop by USB cable
- Desktop connection is working properly
- Desktop connection uses a proxy server
- PPC "Office Network" has the proxy configured properly (along with login/passwd)
What I got is:
- PPC and Desktop sync each other properly
- I CAN access internet on my PPC only if I run Internet Explorer on my PPC (this is the reason why I said "PPC 'Office Network' has the proxy configured properly")
- I CAN NOT access internet on my PPC neither if I use Opera browser nor by Mortscript script and so on. (the requested url starts loading but never ends)
What I did:
- I cycled (on my desktop) the Activesync option "My computer is connected to" to values "Automatic", "Office Network", "Internet"
- I changed any values for connection option on my PPC related to "Network Selection"
- I tried to enable LSP connection on my desktop by a registry entry (even if it seems to work only for Activesync 4.2)
Any test was not successfull.
Could someone of you help me, before I trow away this PPC?!?!
Thanks in advance,
brontolo
