BUG? in ActiveSync configuration on WM6?

[TechBill]

When configuring Activesync, you would choose which connection for it to use to sync with exchange server and in the WM5 I would pick My ISP but on the WM6 "Internet" is the only options in the drop down menu.

Shouldn't it be listing all avaiable connections you have added in the Connection settings?

Maybe a bug? or is there a setting where I select connection type for "Internet" on WM6?


Thanks

In the connections dialogue you select what My ISP (or whatever you use, i.e mine is 'O2') connects to, which is usually the internet.

When you set activesync to connect via the internet it will use ANY connection which does just that. So if you are connected via the USB to your pc it will connect to the internet through that. If you are disconnected from your PC it will use your GPRS instead.

I dont think it is a 'bug' really. Does your activesync work as desired?

Yeah Activesync seem to be working fine but in WM5 it wouldn't work with connections that uses proxy and it would allow me to select a connection in the drop down menu that doesn't have proxy setting ie "My ISP"

Perhaps the new Activesync now works with proxy.

As far I can tell it's working fine.

Mine does not - I have to manually use activesync to get mail from the Exchange Server. Push does not seem to work. There is another thread on this here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297781

It is really annoying me at the moment as I canot find a workaround.

It seems that activesync can find the GPRS when I do a manual Sync, but has a warning that i do not have a cellular internet connection. Odd. I originally used the Orange .cab files to set up the connections, I then deleted them and recreated the connection manually which made no difference.

Any ideas would be welcome!

I have a similar problem. I'm not sure if it's the same or not. Help would be appreciated...

When my Hermes is roaming everything in hunky-dory, GPRS, HSDPA, Push-Email... all is running smooth. BUT...

When I Activesync (I have "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" unchecked - as advised in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297781&page=5) thread), the hermes initially drops any wireless connections, then, instead of using the PC's broadband (as per WM5 & Activesync 4.2) to sync with Exchange it tries to dial up to GPRS again. Sync ultimately fails with error code 85020006. This (http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php) webpage says the problem is "The Connection Manager could not find a path to the destination.
- OR -
Unable to connect. Verify your dialup or proxy settings are correct, and try again"

This is annoying as I have SPB Insight installed which I want to use the PC's connection to update all the channels, as well as sync with Exchange.


EDIT: I tried this before among other things and it didn't work but now it seems to be working OK. The only thing I can think that has fixed it is changing "This computer is connected to:" The Internet
