accessing device from desktop (activesync)

[frax]

Hi,

I have a magician, and I have problems with the network passthrough (activesync on USB) for a year (ip worked, but not DNS resolution). I just upgraded to ActiveSync 4.1, and suddenly the passthrough works fine, great!

Now for my next step -- how can I access my device from my desktop pc? As far as I can see I can't get any route to 198.168.55.101 (device' ip) and there is no interface for that visible in ipconfig. Host is running XPsp2 (no firewall).

My ultimate goal is to experiment with a VNC server on the device.

Any input/comments are welcome! Thanks!

i never finished my trial...

but i get the following to run:
On DesktopPC bind a listen Socket on 127.0.0.1 TCP Port 123.
On PocketPC connect a socket to 192.168.55.100 TCP Port 123.

The 192.168.55.100 and 101 IPs are only for the Serial communication.
I currenty don´t know how to access this directly, but i don´t think that you have to do this. Loopback works fine.

I did not try the other direction, but i think it would also work fine.

So how would one do this in practice?
