Procedure to connect to active sync via wifi?

hi,
can anyone post a tutorial on how to connect to active sync via wifi?
i have a XDA IIs

Here's what I did to connect to my company's network. Please note that you hav to get IP address and DNS for your administrator. I hope this helps. Cheers

Note that you need to use ActiveSync 3.x for this; MS have removed WiFi sync from ActiveSync version 4.

One last thing... as 3waygeek said, in Activesync you have to check this option

Great posts...was wondering how to do this. Only problem is, i have a wireless broadband router at home and dont now what the DNS and Alt DNS is. How do i find these addresses. I have a Spirit wireless router for 802.11b devices.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thankyou

I am sorry, but for most people this is wrong, and a waste of time. IMHO.
First things first for a home user.
You'll need to dock your device and establish a partnership, by your normal way. You can not establish a partnership by Wi-Fi.
Next for most home users you'll need to go into your PC's network card properties and enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Then reboot your PC, and give it about five minutes to get to your router (DHCP Server).
Settings on your PocketPC,
You'll need to go to | Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Connections (icon) | Advanced (tab) | then tap on | New... | under "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:"
Under "Enter a name for these settings:" Type My Home Network
Then tap | Proxy Settings (tab) | check only "This network connects to the Internet" leave everything else blank. Tap OK, Set "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Home Network" Both locations will now show My Home Network, tap OK | OK | X | Very important do not go back and look at your settings or they will not stay! Until you reach the today screen. Soft reset to load these settings.
Next go to www.cam.com and download vxUtil, install this on your PocketPC. You must be able to ping your PC, by name to be able to sync! vxUtil allows you to test your ability to ping. And NetBIOS enables your PocketPC to find the IP address of your PC.

TyTn II + Blackberry Connect + At&T = no working Internet Explorer

have BB Connect installed on my Kaiser. I am able to get emails successfully over Blackberry and gmail. However, I cannot use Internet explorer over MediaNet.
GoogleMaps, the weather plugin, QuickGPS, etc can all get the data they need when connected through MediaNET but IE will not load any webpages. Also, if I connect to a wireless lan, the same thing happens. IE can't browse, but other apps access data just fine.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? There are no options to config connections within IE and the connection within settings seems to be correct (how else would the other applications be able to use MediaNET?).
Are there some proxy settings I need to change or fix? I was able to browse the internet with IE via wireless lan or medianet perfectly fine before BB Connect was configured.
Note:
I can launch BIS for internet explorer and use the Blackberry connection instead of MediaNET. Obviously though this is not optimal as BIS has lmited sites, low res pictures, etc.

I've noticed the same behavior. It happened when I opened the "email settings" icon. This opens pocket IE with an extra menu item. Since then, wifi works for all programs, but pocket IE just gives me a blank page...
Did a hard reset, and never used the 'email settings' thing again. Everything is fine now...

I've noticed the same issue. I've set my connection to medianet using the proxy, noproxy isp.cingular.com and wap.cingular.com. All other programs are able to get to the internet (google, live search, BBC internet explorer, etc.) except for the standard IE. I don't browse too often, so I use the BBC browser when I need one.

thanks all ... i know now not to click the email settings button ... did a hard reset and all is well ... MediaNet full web browsing kills BIS

Internet Explorer inoperable
Help please! I am using the Kaiser and have the following issues.
1. There are 2 capital 'E's in the top. One that says Blackberry Edge and the smaller E says Tmobile Blackberry Edge when tapped
2. I can not simultaneously use the browser to access the internet at the same time that I am using the blackberry service to access emails. One of the 2 must be suspended.
In other words, I would have to literally suspend blackberry in settings to go surf the web.
Does anyone have this issue? Can anyone at all offer assistance to correct the settings so both can work together.
Any leads greatly appreciated!! Michael

i am having the same problem. did not find a solution. started using xpress mail

Hi,
I have the same problem with my HTC Kaiser and T-Mobile Germany.
The funny thing is that T-Mobile doesn't support Blackberry on this device.
I just installed the BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_41.0.0.84.cab and restarted the device and was happy that all works fine. I got all my mails from company BES server, includes the security features which lock the device every 15 minutes.
If this will work with Blackberry mail for home users, I don't know. I tested the BBConnect only to our company server.
I have the same problem like users here has in this threat:
I can't use the Internet Explorer to browse in the Internet. That problem still exist on WLAN and on GPRS. I turned off the phone part and try to use WLAN, but I have the same problem.
I guess that the Blackberry Connect will modify the Internet Explorer (like other parts of the device) to enable security features.
If I use the Blackberry Browser I got the message that the service is not supported. I know that some colleague had the same problem with their Blackberry (Hardware device) and called T-Mobile to enable the service.
I can user Google Maps, IMAP-Mail profile, Weather software and other stuff from the Internet without problems (WLAN and GPRS), only the Internet Explorer and Media Player has problems to connect.
To solve the problem I will talk to the BES Admin or / and T-Mobile. If this will not solve my problems, I will install Opera Browser, which will hopefully work.....
Here are my versions:
Rom: 1.56.111.4 - 09/01/07
Radio: 1.27.12.32
Protocol: 22.45.99.07H

You have to go to registry:
hkey_current_user->software->microsoft->windows->current version->internet settings
and delete enableautodetect entry
This solve the problem for me

You can modify the registry key 'EnableAutoDetect' key found in the registry location:
[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\internet settings']
The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
(To disable proxy) Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001
The best option is to delete the registry key (which I did) since some posts indicate this registry option gets set to 0 after a reset.

I tested Opera Browser as well and it's fine, but I don't like the Bookmark synchonisation, this is better in IE....
Thanks a lot

My phone always reconnects to GPRS - help please!

Hello
my herald always reconnects to GPRS, however, this reg entry is set to 0:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)
i use htc home plugin, and it has a weather plugin but i unchecked "download weather data automatically" at weather options.
i do not know why does it reconnects, but it is annoying...
please help me!
regards,
pulyka

Do you have push mail setup? (An exchange server?) If so, then that's your culprit.

hmm i dont think so..
what is that anyway?

It allows you to:
1. Recieve emails as they come, without having to syncronize every so minutes.
2. Setup an activesync that remotely stores your contact list, todo list and calendar, thus it can be edited online from any computer and restored easily when you're not near a computer but have to hard reset the phone.
Or at least, that's what I use it for.

This is how I killed it:
Start Menu
Settings
Connections Tab
Connections
Advanced Tab
Select Networks
In the top drop down choose anything but a T-Mobile network (I chose 'My Work Network' , which isn't configured).
If I want to use the GPRS I set the top drop down back to T-Mobile Data.

thank you, i will try it.

How to enable GPRS Data Connection in one click

In the wireless manager you can click on the Data Connection to disconnect it, but you can't click it again to reconnect.
There are some applications that don't automatically dial the connection that need it (like remote desktop).
Currently, the only way i know to force the connection is either to open an app that does autodial (like PIE), or go into "Manage exisiting connections" in connections and click-hold and choose "connect."
Is there an easier way to just map a button or a shortcut to dial this connection direct? Better yet is there a way to register an application to auto connect?
thx!

A VPN Question?

I have VPN set up on my diamond to connect to my work network from home, however is there a quicker way to connect to the VPN other than going into:-
Start > Settings > Connections > Edit my VPN Servers > then selecting and holding on the connection to press connect.
Is there a way this can be shortcut to somewhere more accessable?
.G.

Normally it connects automatically when it can't find location on standard connection?

You can create exceptions for VPN to conect automatically.
This way you can decide to trigger vpn for specific URLs as well as defining a wider filter to include all destinations.
You can access the setting here:
Settings->connections->Advanced tab->Exceptions->Add New URL
