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.
