i tried searching, but i get too much junk in the search.

when i connect using wifi, my connection keeps getting dropped, so is there a way to do it with USB?

thanks

Yes, AS by default shares the Internet connection of the desktop.

I think it is quite a common problem, come on guys can we get a fix for this?

Some of my data for you to consider:

Desktop PC connected directly to a router, Wizard, Prophet & Blue Angel all connect to internet via usb.

Laptop wirelessly connected to the same router none of the PDA's connect.
Laptop connected wirelessly to a different router (at work) again none of the PDA's connect.

Is it something to do with a wireless protocol?

Laptop and Desktop have slighlty different frewall software but I think I disabled it all on the laptop & still no joy.

Anyone able to use USB and wireless connection to connect to the internet?

I did see a registry hack offered by Dell, it relates to 'LS???' or something, tried it, no joy.

Any suggestions?

Not really a fix for the USB problem but I can now do ActiveSync and browse the net together.

I have had a bluetooth dongle for the laptop for 'years' but never used it with the PDA. After some trial & error (about 45 minutes, not bad for me) I can now do ActiveSync with Bluetooth AND have access to the net THROUGH the laptop.

Speed is not as good as WiFi but it does work.

I read a tutorial some months ago on MoDaCo about setting up AS with BT. Suggest a search if you can't set it up by trial & error.
