Active sync...no wifi connection..what to do??

[pjeus]

I have a problem with my Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado).

When i connect it to my laptop, it turn off my wifi connection. And think my phone is my new internet connection.

And it continues like this until i unplug my phone again.

Under my "Device Manager" I can see there is a device calles "Windows Mobile device" in the "network card" section.

And if I look in network connections there is a LAN connection.

I have tried ActiveSync 4.0, 4.2 end the new 4.5 beta. Nothing helped.

What to do?

Go to Control Panel, Network Connections.

RIGHT CLICK on your pda connection and go to Properties.
Highlight "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" and click on Properties.
Click on the ADVANCED button.
See the metric at the bottom; take off automatic, and set it to MANUAL.
Set the metric to 10. (This makes the cost of using this connection 10.)
Click on OK, OK and OK.

RIGHT CLICK on your wifi connection and go to Properties.
Highlight "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" and click on Properties.
Click on the ADVANCED button.
See the metric at the bottom; take off automatic, and set it to MANUAL.
Set the metric to 100. (This makes the cost of using this connection 100.)
Click on OK, OK and OK.

Now, when you are connected with BOTH connections, and you have a default gateway address on both connections (ie you have two default gateways) then it will use the wireless in prefereance to the wired connection.

NOPE sorry, that did'n word.

But we have tryed to adjust wifi connection to WEP, and now it work. But some say that this is not the Right way.

So if any find the right way, pleace write it here.

Ummm... LOWEST route metric wins.
The example is backwards.
