Dear All,
May I know is any way make activesync with wifi connection for BA WM5 and activesync 4.5 and wireless router connection.
Thanks a lot.
Only old version of ActiveSync support Wifi Sync (3.8 as I remember)
From AS version 4.2 wifi sync has been removed by MS for security reasons.

i can activesync using wifi, i was wondering what the settings are so i can activesync using gprs. anyone have any idea?
I think you can only do it if you have exchange 2003 or SBS 2003. If that is the case you can fill in the specifics of your exchagne server in Activesync on your device and it will sync via internet
I have my BA connected via USB to notebook. Cannot use internet pass-thru on my BA, and therefore can synch with exch server etc.
vxIPCONFIG shows an IP address on 0.0.0.0, but mobile connection on PC shows 169.254.2.2. I can,using vxutil, ping external IP and domain names, but none on LAN !!
Anybody got an idea. So far I have
1. Disabled firewall on PC / LAN
2. uninstalled Activesync 4.1, reinstalled
3. upgraded to Activesync 4.2
After 3 days of tearing my hair out I'm going round in circles....
thoughts / ideas?
Hi I have simular probs with ActiveSync 4.2 & WM5. However mine are related to the use of a VPN client on my work laptop. I've found that ActiveSync and VPN don't play well together, sometimes. At my regular location I cannot get the PDA to sync, unless I drop my VPN connection. However at another site with all the same hardware, ActiveSync and VPN can co-exist. Not sure if this is a help to you...

What error-code do you get when trying to sync via pc to your exchange-server?
I got the 85002003-error.
vxIPConfig isn't showing the IP of RNDIS. But if you don't change the setting of the Remote NDIS-Host-Adapter (in the list of Network-Adapters) it should work. You may take a look with the Registry-Editor to following key:
HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp:
AutoCfg: 0
EnableDHCP: 0
SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0
If you change the Remote NDIS-Host-Adapter over UI the setting may mess up. Then often error "not able to optain IP-Adress" could appear. Then it has to be corrected via Reg-Editor with the settings above.
I installed AirFix to restart the process "connmgr.exe". When having trouble (Error 85002003) to connect via usb-pc to the exchange-server I use this process-killer - and it works afterwards.
Remarks: When I use the AirFix-Program, phone won't work anymore. (No incomming calls). So, it's not usefull depending connection-problems.
You should also take care to delete partnerships in ActiveSync before conncecting a new flashed BA.

Thanks Chrischi for the info, it really helpfull...
With the release of ActiveSync 4.0, mobile users everywhere suffered a great loss. Namely, you can no longer maintain a network connection while synced. According to Microsoft, they removed this useful feature because some corporate customers had thought it was a security risk. However, Airscanner believe that taking it out is a much greater risk.
The result of this feature removal is that any ActiveSync session (via Bluetooth, IR, or USB) will immediately disable your network connection. AirFix will give the control back to you, which is where it belongs.

hello, I am using helmi 1.2
with gprs settings ON
and wifi connected to my local wifi access point
when I open IE and try to view a website it notifies me that it wants to connect thru gprs, but I want it to connect thru wifi since its connected to my wireless router.
thanks

Hi
Known problem in these AKU 3.x ROMs. Softreset the BA (with turned on wifi). Then it should work. If not, your wifi-settings are wrong. Try first with non secured wifi-connection, then increase the security step by step.

I've been having issues with this as well. Besides the AKU 3.0 issues, you also need to make sure that both the wifi connection and the email account are set to use the same connection to the net. The choices are usually "The internet" and "Work".
Is there some way to force activesync to use the wifi connection only? When wifi isn't connected activesync and, i'm assuming other apps, revert back to 3G or GPRS. My data plan is crap so I'd prefer not to sync at all when I don't have wifi available. I'm using dutty's latest rom, btw.

Thats an old article and no longer works for local connections to your computer. When MS released WM5 and the new activesync (which WM5 requires) the feature to sync over WiFi was removed. We were left with with syncing over USB, Bluetooth. If you have an exchange server you can sync to it over WiFi (the only feature you loose is Push Email).
Thanks for the replies. I should clarify my situation though. I sync to an exchange server and an imap server with no problem. But I have it scheduled to sync on a regular basis. So, if wifi isn't available then activesync will automatically use my data connection. I'm looking for a way to have it only use wifi and never the data connection. If wifi isn't available, I don't want to sync.

Disable your data connections completely
This is a continual bug that appears across certain roms, currently in the latest Dutty V2 Rom.AS works fine over GPRS, and via USB cable to the internet, BUT IMPOSSIBLE over wifi?
Does anybody else have this issue? I have tried very solution etc, I use mail2web exchange, and only stock roms will sync via wifi with it?
Microsoft has desactivated the wifi connection (for security reason) on after the
4.1 version, and WM6 synchronise with the version 4.5.
so plug the cable
The Bluetooth connexion has been disabled (to a computer), not the wifi one. I have an Exchange 2003 server, I'm able to connect and synchronize with ActiveSync my diamond to this serveur using Wifi (on the same network, never tried using internet, perhaps with Exchange 2007 in a few weeks).
Or perhaps is it synchronization threw internet that is forbidden ?
I dont think thats what we're talking about here...
Phone syncs with exchange via net perfectly when its not connected to pc, however when connected to pc phone can not access net
Assuming internet does work, firewall anywhere?
I had the same problem when I tried to connect to my exchange server the first time. Then I connected via 3G and the normal "set security..." came up, even though I set an unlock code before. Whatever after this first connection with 3G the connection with ActiveSync and USB did work fine.
