Has anyone run into an issue connecting to their PC from their Tilt after installing Service Pack 3 for XP? I read somewhere there was an issue with RDC and they suggested swapping out the mstc.exe and mstcax.dll from service pack 2. I tried that, and im still unsuccessful connecting to my PC.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
I have no problems with it..
You should try it with hamachi to be sure if its an firewall or not.
Run hamachi on your mobile, and also the pc, and check it out
RDC Help
Has no one else expereinced this problem. It just seems so strange that it worked perfect right before the SP3 Install. Has anything changed in WM6.1? Im just wondering if there is maybe a registry hack that I might need to enable or disable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Did you read my post ?
RDC Help
Yes I did, The problem was that my IP Address that was given by my router to the PC changed. Then I had to reopen 3389 using the different 192.x.x.x address. Thank you though for your help. This is the best site for information on your PDA Phones.
Thanks To Everyone who has kept this site up and running.

Hi all,
Just spent a VERY frustrating day - read all i could find and learned much more than I wanted to know about PCs (I use a MAc).
Upgraded to wm5 using Build 14343. Now I cannot load anything into the phone using Activesync OR Missing Sync. Activesync won't recognise the phone at all, and I tried every suggestion on the boards - firewall ports, tcp/ip, reinstalling 4.5 then back to 4.2.
It's interesting that Missing Sync (Mac) will recognise and sync but won't allow me to install - .cabs just vanish into the ether.
Is WM5 actually worth it all? It seems like I've lost a lot of useful capability (buttons, camera, etc) for no great reason.
Any solves greatly appreciated. Now I'm going to bed.

Baniaczek's WM5 ROM is great for me. It has tons of things way better than the original Wm2003. Connects to ActiveSync without a problem. Try to put that one on the device.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
Better File Same problem
I've upgraded the ROM.
Still no activesync. Ran the troubleshooter.
Said there's an issue with RNDIS not giving an IP address.
I've checked the LAN connection in Network settings but it won't repair.
I'm not even sure that Activesync created the link as there doesn't seem to be the "Connect using WM device" that it says should be there.
What now?
*&^%$* WinDoze. Roll on iPhone OSX.
Ahh. This is clearly an issue with the PC. If you were able to upgrade the rom - that prooves that your cable and your BA is okay. There must be some Antivirus, or Firewall problem. If you're using BitDefender Antivirus, for example, this is a known issue. You need to update it. Other antiviruses/firewalls may have similar issues.
Try to move to another PC, or reinstall your Windows PC. This problem is not related to your BA.
Another idea:
Unplug device, then
Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC:
Disable the Advanced network functionality > ok
Plug it back
This will make your PDA connect to the PC via a Serial link (Like Wm2003 used to), rather than a network link (Like WM5 uses to).
It's still a PC problem though.
reflash again your pda.
today i had the same problem after one clean intall.
upgraded again with the same rom (the one you can see in my signature) and now, i am able to use active synch.
Ok Some Progress
I disabled the "advanced network functionality".
Active Sync no luck - it isn't correctly installing the hardware in Virtual PC on the Mac. I don't know why.
However, Missing Sync now actually begins to load activesync on the PPC, and then gives this message:
"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications port is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.
Quit any programs that may be using the port and reconnect. If the problem persists, restart your device using hte instructions provided by the manufacturer."
I remember reading somewhere that Baniaczek had assigned certain ports to certain things. How do I find out which it wants and change it?
thanks guys, we may lick this yet.

Same message in VPC
Hooray,
I now get the same message in Virtual PC, after disabling "Virtual switch networking" and restarting the PC.
This means that the issue is now the port on the PPC.
PaulD
That's great..
I don't think so...
In baniaczek's rom, COM6 is assigned to shared GPS, but that can be easily changed from the settings, by setting it to none.
Go with your BA to a real PC that has only WinXP and ActiveSync installed, and nothing else (especially no Antiviruses). And no virtual PC's, as they depend on the host os! It's normal, because if your host OS can't connect, the virtual OS inside will have the same door closed.
I had the same problem before, and I definitely state that this is a PC problem, not a device problem. Same hardware connected to a different PC, will work, you'll see...
Reflashing the rom may help, as it will be detected as a new harware, that your system will let in. But you say you already did that...
Won't actually solve the problem
If I had a PC, that would be the easy solve. I don't, and really need the &$# thing to work on the machine I have.
For the moment I went back to the original Mamaich 14343. I can get .cabs into the phone via the card reader (the original problem on the Mac is that Missing Sync 3.0.2 has installing issues).
that doesn't allow me to load .exe, for which I need activesync, on my Mac, which runs VPC 7.0.2.
I really need to find out why VPC isn't working with TCP/IP.
Baniaczek's ROM is the best apparently, but has a com issue. It is also much easier to installl than any others I've found. I tried Xplode's ROM kitchen but the exe file wont run.
Paul D
hey, reinstall again the rom!
OK OK
Ok Sandstorm, I'll try it when I get the chance. At the moment the phone works but this ROMisn't as good as Baniaczek's.
Thankx for the tips
PauL D
Device won't install
Ok Internet works. TCP/IP works.
Issue now is that the device won't install properly - keeps giving a #10 error (device won't start).
So I can't reflash the ROM or anything until I get XP recognising the connection.
Paul D
turn on the upgrade program, "kill" the active synch running processes in your xp taskmanager, set the device in "bootloader" mode, place it in the crade and run the upgrade.
When i do my upgrades, i never do them with active synch enabled.
upgraded ROM again
Upgraded again - still no change
I flashed again to Baniaczek's ROM. Still will not install correctly in VPC. XP says I have a Generic Blue Angel connected via USB, but will NOT install the WM5 device.
Is this a COM port issue? Can I change that (details please)? For some reason, VPC simply won't recognise the WM5.
I have turned off "Advanced network connections" on the XDA. Nothing. Turned it back on.
I have it set to: server-assigned Ip address.
I have tried to change the IP settings manually, but never had a response. I might fiddle with that again.
AAAAAARRRGH!
thanks all,

Hi!
I'm having trouble using my tytn II as a modem in windows vista. I had no problems in windows xp but since i installed windows vista and use internet sharing application this is what happens:
I get connected and a new networkadapter (NDIS) is detected
I recieve a local ip-adress of 169.xxx...
This is making me crazy and i've searched the forum without beeing able to find anyone with the same problem...what am i doing wrong??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I understand, you use it with USB cable, may be using it with Bluetooth will be better, because in this case Windows will recognize it as a modem.
Please provide some more information about how did you make the configuration.
Did you make it as it was described in the user guide?
Hi!
I did make the configuration exactly as the manual describes it and my device is syncing correctly and everything. It even installs as a network driver when i use the internet sharing application. But it just wont give me an ip-address...
I've had this issue for over a month now and it feels like vista is blocking the service or something, but i just cant figure it out...
PLEASE advise!
I have the same Problem as you !
As a matter of fact, I have an ip but vista says that I'm connected to local network but not to the Internet.
But at the same time I have an illimited data plan that runs perfectly when using Pocket ie...
Still searching for a solution...
But i'm sure it comes from vista...
megaman
No problems!
Hi guys.
Ive used this feature with vista with no problems at all..
Just turned internet sharing on and it connected to the network connection then vista aked me what kind of network it was (Home, Work Place etc) and hey presto it worked.
Mine is a T-Mobile Vario iii btw.
Never really had a problem either though it's much too slow compared to a "real" USB-3G/HDSPA-modem. (I max out at 1.2-1.8 mbit/s but when I use my dedicated modem I easilly reach 4 mbit/s)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah this is killing me! I get the same as you, i get a IP-address but its a local one 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and vista says its a local ip-address...
I've started looking for services that may be stopped and such in Vista, but i still cant get it to work
I also can't get it to work, so if my WiFi goes out and i need internet, i just reboot to XP... Obviously not a solution, it's very annoying. I'd love to figure this out. I think my friend said he got it working, i should get details from him!

Guys, this is not the solution, BUT, until someone finds it, this is a awesome way to get around the problem! Just install the application, start it and tap connect. Now on your computer you'll find a new adhoc network using wifi, connect to it and your ready to go!

Hi, i have recently installed ms active sync 4.5. However my tytn ii will not establish a connection with my pc. It charges just fine but does not connect. I have searched all over but did not find a solution to my problem. i was wondering if it mightbe the cable i got with my device when i purchased it. it is a usb to "mini usb" like the motorolas and nokia 6300 use. Could this be my problem?
I doubt it's because of the cable (though could be). Try unchecking start>settings>connections>usb to pc.
I have the same problem, and have tried connecting with and without advanced network functionality.
activesync does not respond at all, even when trying to connect from activesync on my pc.
I have the same problem, charging o.k., but USB connecting not work
Before I had same problem. The reason was I have installed some 3rd party program what somehow blocked the sync.
I have un-installed this program but it couldn't help because the registry setting was modified by this software. So finally I ended up with a hard reset and reinstall everything. After that the sync just work fine again.
Sigh, i thought it might come to that.
hard reset 2x, no effect
flah rom from SD card, Duty V1 Daimond....no effect
flah rom from SD card, L26 V6 Daimond.... I have the same problem, charging ok, USB data connecting not work...
Well, hard reset complete to no effect. So frustrating!!!! I have been troubleshooting for ages and have nothing to show for it. Surely someone on this forum has solved this problen before.
Hi
I had the same problem following a rebuild of my laptop.
Problem traced to my firewall which had blocked the connection.
Once rule changed to allow no further problems.
Hi colinm, what did you do exactly? It may help me out of this situation.
Doesn't anyone know anything about this?
Yeah i had it get the latest update for active sync from windows its a latest driver pack goto teh windows home and look on there it sorted my one out
what version is it? i have 4.5 right now.
If you could provide a direct link that would be great.
I was trying in 2 different PC ( Vista, Win XP), but the same problem, cable is ok....
I would really like to know what the more experienced members think about this but no-one really seems to want to reply. also i would like to know is the usb data cable plug identical to the htc original handsfree plug which is an exact fit. as i mentioned before my data cable is more like a mini usb, like the motorolas use. it fits (not perfectly like the handsfree), charges but there is no recognition between the device and the pc (xpSP2 running activesync 4.5 which came with the device).
Please help, i may seem to be a noob but i have tried available advice and troubleshooting has become repetitive.
My Mobile Device Center from my Tilt to Windows Vista stopped working a few weeks ago. Tried everything to no avail.
there was one thing that i couldn't do while troubleshooting.
"Do the following:
Disconnect the device.
Open Network Connections in Control Panel on the PC.
Note If your Control Panel is set to Category View, open Network and Internet Connections, and then open Network Connections
Right-click the local area connection created by ActiveSync, and click Properties. In the Connect using box, Windows Mobile-based device is displayed.
In This connection uses the following items, select every check box (to select all protocols).
Reconnect the device."
i cannot see the network icon active sync has created. which leads me to believe that this might be the problem. does anyone know how to fix this?
will updating to SP3 do anything, gonna try will let you know.

thanks champ worked a treat. eventually.
After throughly searching this site, I'm finally resorting to my final means of correcting this issue. With that said, has anyone ever had problems with the tilt not syncing to their computer via usb? The strange thing is that the phone will charge fine when connected to the computer, so I dont think it can be a port issue. I tried syncing on both a vista and a xp machine with no success. Your help is greatly appreciated. Again I researched countless hours so please if anyone here can direct me to the solution I would be genuinely appreciative.
Which ActiveSync do you have installed, 4.5?
Have you tried disabling the enhanced mode in usb connection?
settings>connections>usb to pc
you want to make sure you have active sync 4.5 and not older wm6 needs it to connect and try and go to settings>connections>usb to pc> and uncheck advanced network functionality this is one of the trouble shooting steps i found when i was having problems.....
edit: guess ishould have read the above post better sorry for posting what you just did
If you are using Vista, download the latest mobile device center from microsoft. That fixed the problem with me.
So has anyone on here managed to get a Diamond (or any wm6 phone for that matter) to tether via USB to Ubuntu Intrepid. I got it to work on Hardy with usb-rndis-lite fine but now it seems more difficult. What's weird is I can get them tethered and get an IP assigned from the phone and even resolve domian names with DNS but I just don't get any websites to load. I'm baffled... Maybe it's just a weird routing setting or something with the updated Network Manger. Any help would be appricaited so a link or something to tell me where to look would be great. Thanks guys
