Activesync 4.0 and WM5

Been playing with Activesync and WM5 now for over 4 hours.
My findings are the following.
1) I have seem to have lost the partnership and only way to get it back was to flash the device again and create a new one.
2) I have seem to be able to establish a partnership as a Guest.
3) after refalshing I made a new parnership and connected, added my contacts and started to sync, well it started to look for changes and that was it.
4) My device gives network card gives me a Unable to obatin ip error and I have worked with both the Use Secific Ip and server asgined Ip.
So now I get the feeling that you cant sync with WM5 and outlook 2003 configured with a pst file.
Can anybody confirm that they have been able to download there contacts out of outlook (not server based)?
What is the trick for the network card set up on the device and the windows based mobile device network card on the desktop.
PS Yes I have XP SP2

I can confirm that it works. I did nothing special, it almost worked from the beginning. One thing, that it seems Outlook MUST be your default e-mail client when building a new partnership.
Activesync 4.0.0 b4343
Outllok 2003 (11.5608.5656)
Mamaich's patched wm5 rom + fixes

I also have no problems with outlook 2003 and AS4. Firewall or some other program can block the connection.
But I've setuped ActiveSync to sync directly with exchange server.

Good for u that u have an exchange srvr

Thanks for the feedback.
At this moment in time I will forget the Outlook sync and work on the connection to the device.
1) When I installed AS4 and attached my 1.40 device I was able to browse the device (and hence load the partion application).
2) When I upgraded to WM5 I have been unable to connect and if I can I can only get a conection as guest.
What do I see.
1) On connection for cradel a new network card is installed on my desktop, its is the "windows moble device" , configured to auto and since it finds no DHCP isntall an APIPA address and acts as a DHCP
2) On whatching the device in the network connections "Remote-Ndis-Host" Set to Auto I see under the IP address a mac address and then a APIA address which seems to be the same as the DHCP on the Desktop.
(Cant remember when I saw it).
So the device sometimes shows me connected (seen by the arrows at the top) sometimes comes up with Can't get an address. However the desktop AS4 is still connecting.
Seems that I have a conflict in the AIPA which should not be the case as that is not what it was built for.
I will try fix IP on both sides and bridging the netsworks, also turn off the firewall.
Find it hard to belive that I could see the device with AS4 and rom 1.40 and now cant with WM5.

Oh sorry, I actually forgot to turn off the fire wall. Everything is ok after I did that....
WM5 and AS4.0 are working seamlessly.......

I Had the same problem, after installing WM5 on both my XDA & XDAiis my ohone wouldnt connect to my desktop. I have AS4 installed on my notebook and that works fine. (it looks like the proble happens only on the PC used for installing WM).
I suggest removing AS4 and re-installing it.
Good luck

Well I will be dammed.
I turned off my firewall PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 on the computer that installed the rom and bingo.
So the firewall worked ok with the AS4 and 1.40 but not after upgrade WM5. Must be something new in the WM5 rom. The device says its connected the desktop only says its trying to connect.
Here are a few more things that I tried
Installed AS4 on my multi boot Laptop XPSp2 Partiion, had Windows firewall enabled all default settings, saw device and paired (did not have office so could only explorer device). And it worked
On Laptop XPSp2 partition were I installed WM5 and was able to connect to device with AS4 and rom 1.40 before the upgrade: I gave Device a fix Ip and Wireless Network connection on Laptop a fixed IP in a different network. Could ping both from PC but not connect with AS4. Tried to bridge the two networks (not that it was need) but did not help. Tried the same segement with fixed IP and still no luck.
Reinstalled AS4 many a time, reflashed it also many a time and still could not connect.
Well that was Fun... NOT

Hi @ all, when I'm trying to install AS4 on my Computer, I get the following error:
"Setup not complete. The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard."
I've tryed it on my computer and on my mobile computer. Both have a legal Windows XP with SP2 and all current updates from WindowsUpdate.
I can't find a conclusion, maybe someone can help me

Hi,
same problems as MDAIIIUser here.
I tried AS 4.0 on 2 different Notebooks and 1 Desktop PC. No problems with WM2003. Best result I was able to get was on a Notebook with XP Pro SP2. I could explore the device but no syncing anything.
The other 2 PS´s weren´t able to connect at all.
Any ideas ?

Well my problem is that my active sync takes ages to sync the contact and calender. Well i do have 900+ contacts but with WM2003SE that used to take a couple of minutes. Can someone enlighten on this.
Thanks.

The answer is that unfortunately the Persistent Storage (Flash Memory) although a benefit in so much as it will stop you from losing all your data in the event of a battery drain is also 10x slower than RAM. This is where the database resides for Pocket Outlook and you will see the speed difference when doing large file operations such as this.
Don't panic too much as after the first sync it will probably not make a great difference to normal syncs which will only update a few items each time.
There are some great links for stuff on Persistent Storage over at buzz's site ->Here<-

Bebbo,
Thanks for ur reply. The thing is that even my first sync hasnt finished yet and it takes a lot of hours to sync each one. Anyway i am trying to finish this weekend.
Thanks.

Is there a possibility that as4 cannot sync contacts with outlook2002?
Because I just can sync files and media. Most important things like contacts,
calender, task etc. don't work. Am I the only one with this problem?

Same problem as told by MDAIIIuser
Dear MDA-IIIuser I am facing same problems as you have written in your letter.
I Tried to give IP address manually it did not work.
Desperately, I tried to reinstall Active Sync 3.8; it did not detect my PPC.
I was able to synchronize my contacts....every time when I hard reset but after that nothing,,,,,,,,
although the Icon of LAN card showing incoming and outgoing data it remains in the phase of "connecting".
I tried to bridge to LAN card, it did not work.
If you will get any solution please let us know..
Thanks..

Well I amanaged to sysnc my contacts and my problem was my own firewall PC-Cllin 2005 which I needed to turn off.

Fire wall??
I am using Zone Alarm Pro, I was thinking on this line....I turned of (I turned off the windows fire wall also)...but problem remain same
shall I uninstall Zone alarm and see the responses??????????? :? :?

Well I checked my device with AS4 XP2 with Firewall (its default) and I could see my device, I did not sync as I had no office on it.
I was able to see the device with AS4 and Rom 1.40 so some thing is different with WM5.
Anything to do with ports must be off, also make sure you are connected direct.
Try it for what its worth!

I am also having this problem. I have assigned my PPC to obtain a server assigned IP address since i am syncing with two device. Every time it syncs it gives me an error that the server couldnt assign IP. Any luck on that.
Also all those people having problems where your computer is not syncing outlook entries, here i what you can try to do. Open your Outlook 2003 and then click tools and then click detect and repair. Once it is finished you will see that it can sync your outlook entries now. I hope this helps.
This is because your outlook 2003 has to be the default mail client or it wont sync your entries. Again of the dirty tricks of M$. :roll:

Hi Guys,
I have a rather odd problem. I am using a WinXP SP1 laptop along with Norton Internet Secruity 2005.
I just purchased a jasjar and installed the activesync 4.0 program that came on the CD. When i begin to synchronise, i get the following message:
"You will only be able to sychronise files, folder and other non-Outlook items right now. If you want to synchronise email, calendar, notes, tasks, contacts, please disconnect the device, install and run Outlook and then synchronise again". Well the funny thing is outlook is already running and used to work fine with my PDA2k.
Outlook is my default client for all of the above. I even tried disabling the firewall, still no luck. Can you guys help me out here, its really bugging the hell outta me.
Appreciate any input.
Best Regards,
UD.

A long shot, but someone may know! Problem with BBC program

Got a little bit of a bizzarre one, when i install BBC (Blackberry connect) to my kaiser (both BIS and BES) the device will function fine, but as soon as i use the email setup wizard it messes things up.
The email connection wizard is using internet explorer.
After i exit this, my internet explorer get confused and wont work!
I try viewing a web page and it pretends to look, but does nothing. i refresh it says complete but does nothing.
Yet ive installed opera mobile and mini, both work ok, getting a data connection at the same time as the blackberry is not an issue.
But i cant figure for the life of me why this email set up wizard has killed my explorer.
I could uninstall blackberry and start again, but my IT department wont be chuffed if i request my BES password again for the third time in a week!
If anyone knows of a way to make the internet explorer work again that would be great!

same issue
Got the same issue - think it might be an issue with the BBC software itself. I tried to view a company internal website - which I think tried to use the BB web browsing connection + hey preso IE doesnt' work anymore.
Exactly the same symptoms - IE pretends to look for a site but returns nothing. Marvellous - glad to hear Opera works - just downloading it now.
John.

I've got BBC (bis) and internet working fine on my Tytn II.
Do you have a seperate data contract for the internet. I think that the connection that bbc sets up is just for emails.
Mind you I only have a BIS account.
So my Blackberry connection is more or less permanently connected and my emails come through as and when. If I then load IE the phone will attempt to connect to my contract internet data connection (should wi-fi not be available) and surf the web.
This all works ok, check your settings for IE to see what connection its using for surfing.
Cheers

SOLVED - Activesync errors 80072ED/80072EE7/8502006

Since I had my tilt regardless what software (original AT&T or latest AT&T update) I was not able to sync with my work Windows XP SP2 PC. I COULD sync from a W2K PC and through the internet but NOT from the work PC.
Actually a request with MS suggested to install/upgrade USB NDIS drivers (which I did w/o success) or LOW LEVEL FORMAT HARD DRIVE due to a potential issue with the hard drive signature!!!
Weeks later I found an article in forums.microsoft.com
I followed "selecting 'this computer connects to the internet' from the 'file->connection settings' menu in activesync. It was previously set to 'automatic'." and it works like a champ.
Hope this works for others!
Full extract at: https://forums.microsoft.com/Window...PageIndex=2&SiteID=65&PageID=2&PostID=2003104

Thanks for sharing this!

Welcome ...
the only thing which is not working is accessing the network through the tilt LAN interface. I didn't try a static route through the local PC yet but for what do I need it anyway - the 22" flatscreen is much nicer - LOL
PS, you CAN enable WiFi and open internal http or ftp pages if you dare.

30" HP @ 2560x1600 here (GeForce 8800GTS 640MB). And World of Warcraft still looks flat!

Another thing to check
Apparently Microsoft changed the Pass through LAN for Activesync from PPP to NDIS some time in the recent past.
Some firewalls/antivirus/antispyware/IPV6 on XP settings can cause NDIS not to work and you get the activesync errors when its on the USB.
The solution was to uncheck "advanced networking" in the mobile control panet applet "USB to PC" and/or disable IPV6/antispyware/antivirus/personal firewall.
I had this problem and apparently not only did this make all the activesync errors go away, but syncing in general seemed to be much faster!

THANK YOU!
Had this issue for two months, I thought I tried everything.

webcamera plus 2.0

Hi xda'ers. I'm really hoping someone out there can help me. I've got an AT&T tilt. I purchased some software called webcamera plus by Ateksoft. It doesn't seem to work though. It won't connect the ppc to the pc through active-sync...although it should. my tilt just keeps trying to connect to a certain IP address. On my pc, it shows the software as waiting for a connection. I never get past that point. Would anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 things to check would b that the phone is set for advanced network functionality and also the same setting on pc's activesync. If not test ip address with ie? on pc to check for responce.

Also make sure you have the port settings right, and port forwarding may be needed (most likely will be). I'm using it and it works great.

um, try this:
if you're using it with wlm for example, start the webcam on the phone, and the annoying lil box will come up and it will look for an ip address, THEN send your webcam on wlm, nothing will happen...so cancel the webcam on the phone, (just press the action button to make the annoying lil box go away)....then try starting the webcam again, from your phone. it should then immediately find the ip address. it's really gay software!
hope this helps.

I'm having a similar issue, and the fix above didn't work. I've got "Auto-detect IP Address" unchecked, put in my laptop's network IP (192.168.2.6), forwarded port 2047 to 192.168.2.6 on my router...still nothing. It just endlessly tries to connect and the attempts counter just keeps ticking up, meanwhile my computer still says "Waiting for connection...". Am I doing something wrong here? Even if I check "Auto-detect IP Address", it does the same thing except it says "IP: 169.254.2.2" instead of "IP: 192.168.2.6" in the window. Do I need some kind of firewall setting or something? This has me stumped.
EDIT: I changed it so port 2047 forwards to 192.168.2.7 (my phone's LAN IP) and disabled my firewall. Still no dice.

I bought the app last tuesday and after a few tries I deleted it......it's buggy as hell.,,,waste of money.

First, ensure you've installed the desktop software correctly. It loads the video device driver so Webcamera Plus will show up as an available video device in capture programs. Also I'm assuming here that you've properly installed the latest application on your phone. If you haven't go to the Ateksoft website and get the latest version.
Next verify that you have a working Activesync connection between your PC and phone. Some have indicated it's necessary to disable advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel (under Start > Settings > Connections). You're mileage may vary, and seems dependant the ROM. I'm running the Faria WM 6.1 and I don't even see this option and the program still works fine on my system. Now connect your Kaiser to your PC.
Now launch your video capture program, or chat program that uses a webcam, or whatever you'd like to use Webcamera Plus with. You should be able to choose your video source, and if you've installed the Webcamera Plus desktop software correctly you should see it as an available video source. Choose it.
Finally, start the Webcamera Plus application on your Kaiser. Go to Menu > Settings > Network. Check the box to "Autodetect IP". If you're going to use Activesync instead of a TCP/IP connection then this must be checked. Click "Done", and then "Start". You should be connected!
If not then check the firewall settings on your PC. Maybe reinitialize the capture device in whatever program you're using on your PC to view the Webcamera Plus image / video stream. Good luck!

Your Kaiser is connected to your LAN via Wifi also, yes? In other words, both your laptop and your Kaiser are on the same network. If so, then you were on the right track setting up port forwarding to your laptop's IP address. If you have the right laptop IP address set in the Webcamera Plus software (on the phone), and the same port specified as you setup in your router, then it should work. If it doesn't then you may have a software firewall blocking your connection.
If you're phone is NOT connected to your LAN via Wifi then you're using the wrong IP address (192.168.2.6). You need to use your WAN IP, not your LAN IP, in the phone's Webcamera Plus network settings. If that doesn't work, and you're sure your router settings are correct, then you should probably take a close look at your firewall logs. Or try disabling it altogether for test purposes.

I ended up getting a different program which worked better, but the FPS was pretty crappy either way and the camera cut out every few seconds. Looking at actual webcam alternatives now instead of being cheap Thanks for your replies though, I appreciate it.

is this software freeware?
hi is the software webcamera v2.0 freeware or does it expire after a set amount of usage and then you have to pay? thanks

Network Error message.

I am getting an error message on my X1, and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to cure it.
Message reads;-
Pocket PC Networking
Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.
This usually ocurs when i connect via USB and it tries to sync, which is unsuccesful.
Ive looked in Settings, and cant quite make out what it is i must have altered to get this message.
Any help very much appreciated. It might just save me a hard-reset.
Thanks.

i ve got the same issue guys lately.. any help??

Mine started doing this after installing Pocket Controller Pro. Doesn't appear to have affected sync operation though - on either ActiveSync or Pocket Controller Pro.
