There have been several posts which mention the welcome.exe app which runs when you first start your xdaII, and some have eluded to some connection between running this app and 'resetting' Pocket Internet Explorer (IE) if it's having issues.
What isn't written however is that if for some reason your web browsing via the ActiveSync Passthrough connection was working yesterday, but suddenly isn't today, this little app seems to reset all your connection settings (not delete them, just restore them to a firm working condition).
I found that where the active connection used to say 'The Internet PC Connection' when you'd tap on the connection icon next to the speaker and clock whilst cradled, suddenly it said to tap connections to connect to work or the internet.
I messed about with my connections on the XDAII/i-Mate, AND ActiveSync (Passthrough) for ages until I tried welcome.exe, and what-a-ya know - now I'm typing this on my iMate whilst sitting on the couch watching TV!
