If your PC is "seeing" your device but Activesync is not:
Make sure that you are running Activesync 4.5.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
Check your Activesync Connection Settings (File>Connections I think) and make sure that Allow USB Connections is selected.
Disable your firewall on your PC, if you can connect then, you need to enter exceptions in AS to get past this restriction.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.

I had a similar problem once. Turned out is was my own fault.
I had manually disabled the network connection Activesync needs to detect the Kaiser. This might be relevant for your issue:
On your computer goto 'Network Connections' (via 'Control Panel', assuming you have XP)
Connect the Kaiser to the computer
Enable the disabled network connection
You might want to switch to 'Tiles' view. The third line will read 'Windows mobile-based device'. That network connection needs to be enabled.
Good luck!

This trick helped me

for mine, I had to disable the "advanced network functionality" under Settings -> connections -> USB to PC before it would sync.

Same hint helped me to to uncheck the tab for the "advanced network functionality". No clue why.

ME HELPED THIS TWO THINGS :
1.
Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).
Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.
AND THEN THIS :
2.
Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.
THAAAANKS !

OK I tried everything and cannot sync with my corporate PC work (XP with SP2).
I cannot get a local network LAN address on the Tilt regardless if I use NDIS or not and regardless if I provide the DNS server address or not it insists on its default mobile IP.
Funny enough "My Mobile" works through "Connect IP" to the default IP address 169.254.2.1
I tried almost all settings and nothing worked. On top I contacted MS just to receive a hotfix for the USB-2-NDIS drivers which didn't work either.
ANY idea anybody?
I also get the mysterious 80072EFD error from activesync 4.5.
PS: At home I can sync with the company server over the internet connected to my W2K SP4 workstation without any problem.
See attached screenshots

hmm my laptop recognizes my phone...its says its connected..but it just wont sync any ideas why>?
running vista btw

This was my problem as well. I had disabled the network connection, but could not find it any more in Network Connections (on my PC). I ended up having to run the ActiveSync installer msi and telling it to repair. That fixed things nicely.

I had that problem until I installed a flashy new NEC PCI USB 2.0 Adapter card in my PC and stopped using my motherboards onboard VIA (Appolo Pro chipset) USB 1.1 ports. The Activesync 4.5 connections are now far more reliable and I can connect both with or without advanced networking functionality ticked. It looks as if the type/quality of USB port in the PC has alot to do with things.
Now the remaining annoying issue with AS 4.5 I have is that when transferring large wmv files to my TyTN IIs storage card (or even internal memory), the progress bar that appears to indicate the file is transferring never gets to the far right side but always resets back to the beginning (sometimes several times when part way along during the transfer). Is this behaviour which other users of Kaisers connected to Win XP machines have observed? Can anyone throw some light on what's going on to cause this?

transferring large files/data fails

That's actually a known issue with USB. A std. USB driver connection through AS (regardless what version) will time out after 4 something seconds which may not be enough to write a file to your device/storage card. Best money I ever spent was for Softick Card Export II. It gives you the possibility to either active sync or "card export" data. Card export will enable your storage card as removable drive (just like with a card reader) an you can copy all data you want. Kinda slow but reliable. I just transferred 5 MP3 CD's on my storage card without any problems.

Thanks for the tip with that software. I'm not that concerned that I'm willing to fork out money though Just to clarify things, the files do still get across without any problem or failure (and no Activesync disconnects now), it's just the progress bar doesn't correctly indicate whats going on. FWIW the progress bar progresses for far more than 4 seconds before resetting back to the beginning probably 30 seconds or so but I've not timed it. Have you, tyguy, or other users, observed this behaviour with the Kaiser under XP or does the progress bar behave itself for everyone else?

My process bar fluctuates all over the place. Indicating 30 secs, 4 min, back to 20 secs guess it's as accurate as an hourglas, nice animation though - LOL

thanks
thanks this Worked for me on HD2.

Kaiser not accessing net through my pc

AFAIK the kaiser should use my home net connection when synched with my PC right?
I remember when I was setting up / installing that I ticked some kind of box to not use hosts net conn when attached via USB (God knows why I did, I knew it was a bad idea after i hit OK...) but I don't remember where I set it.
I have looked around and can't seem to find any setting like that - any ideas?
if i'm not mistaken, that's a setting you need to change when you DON'T have your device connected to your pc.

Hmm, that reg entry didn't seem to do it. I still can't access the net on my mobile through my pc.
its a setting in activesync/Mobile Device center, you will know it when you see it
In activesync go to file-->connection settings...--> and uncheck the allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop and your phone should stop using gprs instead of activesync to connect to the net when your connected.
hmm I still can't get a Internet connection through my computer! Does someone else still have the same problem?

Same problem here. I have the latests ActiveSync....I have "The Internet" selected as what my PC connect to in ActiveSync. I have un-checked "Allow Wireless Connection" - and still nothing. The phone won't sync with my Exchange server when connected to my PC....very annoying because the phone lags behind my 'real' schedule as a result!
Anyone?

Go check your router and/or firewall settings....
Your Kaiser should have it's own IP adres cause syncing is a network-based affair these days, so this might cause the problem in your network setup...
Check Settings/USB to PC ; change the Enable advanced network functionality, and try again. Happend to me in Vista, and after messing with this setting Windows Update downloaded latest driver for HTC and fixed the problem. (As i remember you can change it back afterwards, if it solves your problem).
thanks for all the help so far guys.
It definately seems to be an issue with activesync (ie the desktop PC) because when I connect to my PC here at work, it is all fine.

Thanks darkilici...!! I un-checked "advanced network functionality" under Seettings, Connections, USB-to-PC, and when I plugged my TyTn II back into my PC - it "found" the device again, re-loaded the driver, and now I am accessing the Internet on my TyTn II through my PC! Thanks......HUGE!
Much appreciated.
Unchecking it caused my phone to be able to use wireless while synched - thanks!
But if I tick it again, it goes back to how it was.
The error I am getting is:
"The page you are looking for cannot be found due to error 0x80072f78"
Even with it unticked, it's not really what I want. I want it to use my much faster broadband connection while tethered...
I think I may do a hard reset.
I forgot to ask, by any chance are you on T-Mobile (or any network that requires a proxy to access the net over GPRS)? If you are, then you have to disable the proxy server to be able to access the net over activesync.
Yes, I am on T-Mobile with Web n Walk.
Do you mean the one in "Connections"?
I removed that proxy tickbox and it seems to work now. Do I not need the proxy? What is it for? Cacheing? Or is it only to enforce the "No adult content sites" block? (Which I have removed so I can access facebook)
Thanks ever so much!
I'm on t-mobile in the US and I have to have the proxy to access the net over GPRS or it won't work at all. I'm not sure about if you need the proxy in the UK or not, but the easiest way to find out is to try to access the net over GPRS without the proxy and see if it works or not. If it doesn't the it would probably be easier for you to set up a second connection, the first with the proxy the way you already have it set up and then a second that has the same settings as the first only without the proxy settings. Then, just switch between the 2 when needed. Unfortunately that's the simplest way to do it that I have found.
Hmm, I'm actually looking for something like this, but not. Anyone know of a way to make it use AT&T's internet while connected to a computer with ActiveSync? That registry tweak works great for when I'm at home, but when I'm at work or something, I may want to use my phone's internet (GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA). I have a program that lets me control my kaiser from a computer (MyMobiler), but it needs activesync. If I have Activesync, I have to use my work internet (which I don't want to do). Hopefully that makes sense.. Any ideas?

HTC USB Modem Driver for XP or 2000

I have been working on setting up Internet Sharing on my laptop(s) for a few days now and have searched and read through the forums to no avail. I need the USB Modem Driver for Win2K and XP (SP2 if it matters). I put the set up CD in and searched it, but it list drivers only for Vista (32 and 64 bit).
Does anyone know a solution for this or know how to get hold of these drivers?
Thanks for your help.
Bobby
Can you not use Internet Connection Sharing?
If I knew how....
I could most likely use ICS if I knew how. When I plug the phone into the laptop it displays the found new hardware wizard, but no compatible driver for it to use. I have done a search on google, here on the forums and the MS website and am not able to locate the HTC USB Driver that is called for in the wireless modem section of the users guide.
I have seen some information about using ICS, but nothing to tell me how it works or what I need to do to get it to work. Is it a matter of installing Active Sync onto the laptops I want to use, then kick off ICS to access the web from the laptop?
Thanks,
Bobby
i too have been desperately searching for this. I can't seem to find anything. This laptop is my primary computer so it already has ActiveSync and the Tilt setup, but it won't recognize it once I switch the phone into "wireless modem" mode (where it deactivates the activesync functions)
Is this what your looking for?

I'm sure this has already been covered somewhere... but, did you search for the standard Internet Sharing app that was supposed to be on WM6 ROMS by default? I bought my Tilt 2 weeks ago, am on the stock ROM, and found the app hidden in \Windows and it works fine here. If you find it there just create a shortcut and place it in \Start\Programs or wherever you want.

i tried to use the internet connection share - but it wouldn't work either. it kept showing me the bubble (starting GPRS, Edge, 3G connection) and then eventually said "the remote party has ended the connection"
EDIT: never mind, got it to work! Had to change "Network Connection:" from "AT&T ISP" to "MEdia Net".
what am I missing
So to get this to work all that needs to be done.
connect phone to laptop (regardless of O/S Version) via USB cable
start ICS and you are off and running?
No driver install is needed on the laptop (including no activesync install needed), is that correct?
Thanks,
Bobby
Instruction for setting up Internet Connection Sharing
I was able to locate instructions on how to set this up on the Tilt (located in the HTC Tytn II users manual). I have included the section referring to this below so others who may want to know how can get it up and going.
Thanks,
Bobby
========================================================
10.9 Using Your Device as a Modem
(Internet Sharing)
Internet Sharing connects your PC or notebook computer to the Internet by using your device’s data connection (GPRS or EDGE, for instance). You can choose to connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Follow the procedure in this section to set up your device as a USB modem. To learn how to set up your device as a Bluetooth modem, see “Use the device as a Bluetooth modem” in this chapter.
Notes • Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and your device has a GPRS or phone dial-up modem connection. If your device has not been set up with a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on the Internet Sharing screen.
• If you want to use a USB cable connection, you must first install Windows Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.5 or later on the computer.
• Before using Internet Sharing, disconnect from Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer.
• On your computer, run 3gnetopt.exe from the Application Disc to optimize the connection speed between your device and computer.
To set up your device as a USB modem
1. On your device, tap Start > Programs > Internet Sharing.
2. In the PC Connection list, select USB.
3. In the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that your device uses to connect to the Internet.
4. Plug in the USB cable between your device and the computer.
5. Tap Connect.
To end the Internet connection
On the Internet Sharing screen, tap Disconnect.
hope this helps someone
Hey guys, I usually try and post whenever I finally figure something out...I was getting the error message: Cannot Connect "the remote party has ended the connection" and from some of what I was reading it was because I was trying to use internet sharing with a mediamax $20 plan and I wouldn't be able to do that any longer because of something embedded in WM6 which told AT&T that I was tethering. Well my laptop is connected right now via usb through internet sharing on WM6 on my 8925/tilt and I have the $20 plan. I just checked my speeds and I am at 1485kb/s upload and 339kb/s (is that good?) seems much faster that wireless modem connection I used to use on 8525 w/ wm5. Internet sharing is the way to go. I am not exactly sure what fixed my problem--I did a few things and finally stopped getting the cannot connect: remote party...error. I first erased the user name and password under the connection settings ([email protected]) and left both fields blank. That didn't fix it like it did for some others that I read about so I did a power down and power back up (not sure if this is different than a reset with the stylus in the hole). Still wasn't fixed...On the internet sharing screen the second box under network connection I changed from "AT&T isp GPPRS" to "media net" and then connected and it worked. I don't think I need the username and password for anything because I can still browse on the phone without them--not sure why they were there. I haven't checked to see if I can internet share with the password and username reinserted...Hope that helps someone else out...don't give up it is possible to internet share through mediamax $20 with WM6...
Quick Fix For Those who couldn't figure it out
On your AT&T Tilt or (Possibly any Windows Mobile 6 Device)
Navigate to your "file explorer"
Step 1 (Locate the File Explorer) Not Internet Explorer
Start > Programs > Tools > File Explorer
(Possibly) Start > Programs > File Explorer
(Possibly) Start > File Explorer
Step 2 (Using File Explorer navigate to "My Device")
Then Locate the "Windows" Folder
Scroll all the way down to InternetSharing (Press the letter "I" to get you there faster)
Have your the device plugged into your computer and run that application and make sure these 2 options are selected:
PC Connection: USB
Network Connection: Media Net
Hit Connect
If it doesn't connect for you right away or gives an error message try this:
Unplug your phone from the computer
On the internet sharing application press Connect and immediately connect the USB cable.
Hope this works for others.
Have a data plan with at&t or you might be seeing some rather large charges on your internet bill.

Is that a USB RNDIS driver? As in no need for activesync?
I know it is possible, as I used usb-rndis-lite to use my kaiser as a modem on linux, but I never found anything that allowed me to share the conn via usb without activesync.
FYI, for those who do not have activesync for whatever reason, WMWiFiRouter will let you do it via WiFi.
The easiest way.
Just install the latest activesync.
If you don't want it syncing, no problem. Just right click on the activesync icon in your task bar, go to connection settings and uncheck allow USB connections. You'll still be able to use Internet Sharing but it won't try to sync every time.
After you have activesync on your computer you'll be able to use the Internet Sharing all you want. Just be sure you press connect on your device before you plug the usb cable in. Otherwise sometimes it won't connect.
Don't abuse it, or most likely your provider will slam you with tethering charges if it's very obvious you're using it. Assuming you don't have a tethering plan, of course.
Sometimes (eg on a corp laptop) you are not allowed to install activesync for example, but a driver would be OK - so it's always good to have alternatives.
Not so much of an issue now as WMWifiRouter is a more universal solution, but not all machines have wifi, so an RNDIS driver for USB would still be nice to have handy.
Been on T-Mobile web'n'walk (the basic one, not the tethered one) for over 6 months now, I use tethered mode on a daily basis, not had any complaints or charges yet. Mind you, I don't really hammer it, just web pages, ppc app downloads, a bit of youtube maybe. They could probably tell by looking at the browser IDs, but I doubt I am top of their list.
Even if they do hit me with the charge for the "Pro" version that allows tethering, it's only another £5 a month and I am on the lowest voice tariff anyway as I have an HTC original and not a subsidised phone.
WOW!!!! I can't believe this thread went as long as it did. Grats to DuMnUt101 and Evilc.. I wish I had my usb cable here with me so I could test the active sync part. Did this guy ever get it working?
The driver attached previously is not a ICS driver but a modem driver - you need to supply APN, username and password. Could possibly work, but when I run the EXE, it does not detect the phone as a modem.

Hi,
If you want to use internet sharing from HTC Modem via USB you just have to activate that functionality on the phone and then connect the USB cable to your PC.
Your windows will ask for drivers if you dont have ActiveSync4.5 installed (XP/NT2000/NT2003).
If you have ActiveSync already installed (this will install usb modem drivers you need) then you should have no problem with drivers and will be ready to use your mobile's shared internet.

Hi,
If you just want to use internet shared by your phone on your PC, you just have to install ActiveSync4.5 (this will install the usb modem drivers required).
This will set you ready to use the mobile's internet on your PC.
After this you can always get the drivers using "Device Manager".
Hope this is the answer you wanted!

cant browse IE on kaiser thru active sync connection

aparently i have no COM ports avaible, so i cant browse the internet. im not sure how to fix this, but im also not sure if it's just a problem on my kaiser? when i try to go on the internet it tries to connect to 3G, but i want to use active sync
You want to connect to the internet through your home pc via usb/BT?
You might want to try this.. I'm not SURE, just offering a suggestion.. someone can confirm/bunk this either way..
Start|Settings|Connections|Connections
One of the settings there might work for you,
If not.. theres a Little blue Question mark in the top right that actually has some pretty in depth info..
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, but it's a start.
Is ActiveSync actually working for you? I mean... is your Kaiser synching with your PC?
If activesync is working fine, try this on your PC (not on your Kaiser).
Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Create a new DWORD data type called "AllowLSP" and set it to 0
Plug your Kaiser again and let me know if it worked.

if i'm reading right you want to use internet sharing using usb or bluetooth and browse the internet using your PC?? is it?
1.first open setting in your active sync then uncheck allow the usb connection .
2.plug in the usb cable to ur pc and kaiser
3.open the internet sharing in your kaiser end select conection typ usb or bluetooth.
4.connect. (your computer will be installing rds driver automaticcaly)
5.then you'll have a gprs internet trough your pc
note you must have gprs/3g connection available in ur network.
in ur pc in the internet connection option makesure you select direct connection if you use firefox/opera.
Hope this solve your problem.

You are wanting to browse IE on your phone using the Activesync usb or BT connection (phone uses PC's internet connection for data) am I correct in thinking that?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'No comm ports available' as your WM device connects via USB?
Sorry if these steps may seem a bit condecending but best to check all.
1, Has your PC got a working internet connection (can you browse IE on your PC) ?
2, Is Activesync actually working (your contacts and mail are sync'ed) ?
3, In connection settings on Activesync (PC) you need 'Allow wireless connection' unchecked (Checked for tethering, PC goes through phone 3G) or phone will try to go through any data connections of its own first.
4, On your WM device under 'Settings' 'Connections' 'USB to PC, check the 'Enable advanced network functionality'
Hope this helps.
I have a similar query, I can use my PC's internet connection from home, but when I connect to my work PC it does not. Now I know this is down to the fact that my Work PC uses a proxy server, but how do I add this info in to my Tytn2.
Hi Farsquidge,
I have followed your steps above, but when I try to connect to IE on my device, I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
Any ideas?
Also, many thanks for the widespread advice you have given throughout the fora - it has really helped me get the most of out of my TyTN2!

Your welcome.
Is your device an 'out of the box' HTC device that was not bound to a carrier contract? Some carrier (ie. AT&T Vodaphone) seem to have settings within the ROM (seen in other threads) that tie you in to only using their settings (ie Media.net) and using a proxy that cannot be changed for IE only for GPRS connections.
Anyone got ideas on this one.
Unfortunately, Orange UK got their hands on my TyTN2 before I did! Perhaps that's the source of my problems?

Are Orange UK (I am from UK but living abroad now) still wanting to promote their own Internet?
I know only last year a pal of mine said he could not connect his Nokia through his home WiFi because it would not connect via his BT Internet.
Check if you have a proxy connection set up on your GPRS cause ya never know!!!
I can connect to any Wifi network and access webpages without problems. Doesn't seem that there are any restrictions from that point of view. Thanks for the help - guess it's not really a problem not having Internet access via ActiveSync, as it connects to the Wifi network.
i guess i shoulda been more specific.
i wanted to browse the internet on my kaiser, using the active sync connection. however it wasnt working, but now ive re-installed opera and it works with that, not sure if it works with IE yet.
installed Opera and still no hope.
my tytn II is out of the box, not on any contract with an operator. can any one please help me..

Can you access the internet when connected via ActiveSync?

With my trusty old Ipaq 5550 i could, but for some reason i cant with my Kaiser.
I had a look in the manual but couldnt find this.
Any tips?
It should work automatically.
Perhaps in your comm manager, active sync is greyed out and needs to be enabled.
Or perhaps in your configuration screen: connections tab, usb on pc (or sometinglike that), you can (un)check a box about advanced network connectivity.
yes for me work You must change in Connections->Advanced->Select network first field where you have your ISP to My Work Network.

EXACTLY.
Mine was checked, once i UNchecked it. I had internet conectivity.
I have all default and CHECKED use advanced network functionality and it works fine, even when syncing over bluetooth I can get to the internet through ActiveSync
Thanks, been wanting to do this for ages.
Now I have got it working.
Okay, this is a long message but I have had a unique problem in which I had to fiddle with activesync and my PDA for several days to figure it out. So in case this is your problem look here.
Scenario:
At my work we have a proxy server. When i connect my phone to my computer, even though activesync and my PDA are set to connect properly neither my phone nor my computers internet works. I fooled with this, posted on the forums and finally found a way to fix it.
Steps:
1)Change your PDA's advanced network settings in the network management area to BOTH be "mywork network". Do this before plugging in to activesync.
2)load an internet page with streaming content, or constantly refresh a web page if your work blocks all sites!
3)Ensure that your activesync is set to connect to the "work network".
4)Plug in your phone (be sure that data is still streaming on your desktop, if an active connection isn't streaming on your desktop Windows uses logarithms to decide which connection to use as an internet source).
5)Let activesync load and syncronize. Once it is syncronized, go back to your pda's network management page and change the two options BACK to MEdia Net or whatever data service you use on your cell phone. NOTE: Be sure that media is streaming all the way until you change your PDA's options BACK to the proper internet source for your phone and test it by loading a web page. Once the phone is set as it's own internet source and the desktop still has it's active LAN connection you should be golden.
I know you shouldn't have to do this but at least with my works network and their proxy server if i don't do it this way i will NEVER be able to use the internet on either device.
The reason for this is because of Microsoft's crappy network capabilities. In activesync 4.0 + they made activesync use an actual network connection, you can view it via the network connection page. So with some networks (not all) it tries to use your phones connection as the active internet network and vice versa at times.
Hope this helps somebody out there as this drove me nuts!
So far i'm the only person that has had the problem (on this forum, at least that has responded to my threads). But i'm sure there are a couple other people that have annoying problems with their work and activesync.
Thanks,
Luke
Thanks a lot alaiwy, worked just fine for me!
For the AT&T Tilt & AT&T ROM's you also need to disable the Proxy.

403 Error While Connected to ActiveSync

For some reason I dont seem to be able to browse web via my mobile browser while device is connected to Activesync (USB cable)
I've checked Allow Wireless Connection and disabled high speed syncing in Conenctions USB>PC on my Xperia.
This affects email and internet data connections and apps. In internet explorer and IRIS I get a 403 error.
I have activesync as "Computer connects to Work Network"
When I disconnect from Activesync I can browse as normal.
Having gone through the usual suspects and done a search I can't seem to find anything that addresses this particular iteration of the 403 error so would gratefully accept any suggest
You don't need the "Allow Wireless Connection when connected to the desktop" ticked. (Unless you want to use WiFi on the X1 while plugged in via ActiveSync).
My ActiveSync "This computer connects to" is set to "The internet", not Work Internet.
Allow USB connections.
On the X1,
Got to Settings, Connections Tab, USB to PC.
Make sure ActiveSync (Sync with outlook) is selected, then make sure "Enable advanced network functionality" it ticked.
cheers for your reply Steve. (good collection of apps too)
These are all options I've tried already (think I've tried every combi) and I end up with the same result - as i get not data connection when i connect the USB. If I open IE or IRIS beforehand and then connect as soon as I browse a new page I get the 403.
I'm sure this didnt happen last time I tried to browse this way but have no idea what could have changed. I thought it could be a connection settings thing - IRIS has loads of options for connections and I've tried all of this, all unsuccessfully. IE doesn't appear to have any options.
Anyone know of any tweaks or reg fixes?
duplicate post
one other thing - if I go to conenction amanger and try to activate Data connection while conencted to activesync, I get sent to the Settings > Connections screen. Data connection will not activate.
I can't offer anymore help Don't know what's up with yours.
cheers anyway steve. gonna wager on a reinstall of activesync and also try on my home pc to see if this is any different.
I know GP can block using device as modem/internet sharing, but this would be different so who knows?
interestingly I've just discovered that I'm still receiving emails when this problem occurs. I wonder if something could be preventing http requests?
just to recap, this works when synced with my home PC, but when synced with my works PC I can't access http via 3g/hsdpa, nor through the PC. I can however receive emails.
As the attachment shows, the phone is connected to the HSDPA and Activesync via USB.
I've reinstalled Activesync on this PC, and experienced an intermittent connection following this - however following this short period of activity the connection halted again.
