[Q] Setting up wifi sync on wp7: tutorial wanted - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a comprehensive thread out there that gives a step by step on setting up wifi sync with Zune on Windows 7 home premium? It seems most of the places I go to assume Im using adsl internet and that I already connect to it wirelessly. I want to sync with Zune via wifi but I also want my Trophy to use the internet connction of my usb stick.

Activesync 4.1 and offline files

Hi there,
Just got a new qtek8310 with Windows mobile5 and activesync version 4.1.0 build 4841. Using it with a computer connected to a windows domain network.
The computer have enabled offline files, (can view/edit files in offline mode etc) This is build function in windows xp.
However when I sync the mobile device sometimes it drops the connection to the network and puts me in offline mode with the network, I need to resync offlinefiles to re-establish the network. This happens randomly, often when I connected the device. I think has something to do with the new network adapter it creates everytime you connect the device to sync (breakes the currently connections?).
The sync with contacts etc from outlook works 100%
I followed instructions ActiveSync 4.0 USB Connection Troubleshooting Guide
at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
Still same problems, It has same effect with or without firewall enabled (xpsp2)
anyone same problem / clues ?
thanks.
Any solution to this? I'm still going through the search results but my customer w/ the save AS version has the same problem with 2 diff phones on 2 diff workstations.

how to connect to Desktop ad-hoc?

Does anyone know how i can connect using my prophet to my desktop adhoc internet shaing?
Is there any specific setting?
I tried connect with my N93i to my desktop ad-hoc and it has no problem wif internet surfing.. but once i try on my prophet it fail to let me use the internet (at 1st the Wifi connect was connected, once i start to go to google page, it cut off automatically.. repeated many times still can't get it thru)
any pls help me..
thx in advance
are you trying to access your computers internet connection from your ppc or the other way around... i'm confused.
Ad-hoc means "for a specific purpose" you never really told us what purpose
i'm trying to access my desktop internet connection using ad hoc.. i set everythg on desktop, but jus can't connet to it using my prophet
You need to tell activesync (or wmdc) to allow your phone to access the internet connection on your desktop.
can't i jus skip the WMDC part and connect using wifi only to the ad-hoc?

share an Activ sync connection over lan

hi there!
i got an umts enabled device. i connected it on my laptop and use it though ics (active sync).
now another laptop is connectet with an crossover cable to mine.
the problem is:
how to share this active sync ics umts connection to the other client?
thx 4 help
well, you can use Wifirouter to create an access point and connect with more than one comp
if you want to share the connection thru your laptop... to my knowledge, you'll have to go to control panel.. and go to the network card's propeties and enable
the sharing of internet connection. this option varies depending on your OS... so just search for it.

Exchange ActiveSync over wlan before trying data connection

My phone is an Xperia X1 and I have Exchange ActiveSync setup. I can get the syncronization over wlan both in my office and over other wlans. I would like to know if there's any way to "force" the ActiveSync to happen over wlan before trying the data connection. This way when I'm covered by a wlan that I'm connected to, the sync would be cheaper
Basicly I'm after some process that when i want to synchronize it checks the wlan first and only then connects to the celular porovider. Does it make any sense? All this because I miss the autosync that my old Nokia made everytime it was in reach with my PC. What I'm trying to achive is the best workaround for this missing feature in Windows Mobile. Or is there a new option that I don't know ?
Thanks for any support

Hi there,
If your data is not connected, it will obviosuly try to sync via wifi first right? In theroy if both are connected wifi should be prefered afaik.
There is a good guide for getting ur device to auto connect to ur PC via bluetooth to auto sync via active sync, (see the guides section in my sig below, guide by my good friend Nir36)
Cheers.

AD-Hoc for Windows Phone 7?!

Hello Guys,
I have bought a Parrot Ar.Drone for 300€!
I have the HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7. I need Ad-Hoc for Windows Phone 7 to control the Drone. Does anybody know when its available on my Device?
Is it possible to create any Application that simulates or create the Ad-Hoc Network?
Please help me, I cant control the Ar Drone. I have to wait till Mango maybe (

Wow, sorry for Doublepost but are there any News on it? Or can anyone program something? For me its very important, even old Nokia Devicec can find Ad-Hoc Networks!
I also want Wi-Fi ad-hoc connection mode, in order to sync wirelessly with Zune on my Acer Iconia Tab W501P Windows 7 Tablet.
Is it possible to set my Windows 7 laptop as a wireless router (Wi-Fi infrastructure mode) and sync wirelessly with Zune? I don't have separate wireless router; I want to use the laptop's internal Wi-fi adapter as a wireless rutoer. Is is possible?
I tried to set up a new wireless network on the laptop, but it wants "router PIN". I don't know where to find this router pin.
You misunderstood me. I know how to set up ad-hoc newtork in Windows 7. My question is how to set up an infrastructure (access point) Wi-Fi network in Windows 7, without using wireless router. Only using the laptop's integrated Wi-Fi adapter.
This is needed in order to perform Wireless sync between Zune software and a Windows Phone smartphone.
Search for Connectify and see if that works for you.
Is it possible on Lumia 800 ? Because with Supreme Shortcuts i can go to the section for network sharnig but i can't activate it.
