Orbit on O2: default network settings.

[Pete.]

Some time ago I messed with the IP address settings of the various adapters in Wifi - network adapters on my orbit. Now I have an issue where I try to connect to my PC via USB and though the Remote-NDIs Host automatically gets an IP address of 169.254.2.1, shortly after connecting via USB I get a message:

Pocket PC Networking
Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again or enter an IP address in Network settings.

Could some kindly soul please take a look through the adapter list and give me the settings of any adapters that don't have a server-assigned address selected?

Pete.

Nobody can look at their orbit on O2 and tell me what adapters have static I.P's as default?

My setups all say 'Use Server assigned IP address' and it all seems to work OK

Cheers anyway :(

Each time I connect the phone to either my laptop or my PC I get the above message after a minute or so. In desperation today I went through the whole adapter list assigning a loop-back IP to each adapter one after the other then reconnecting the USB lead. Still get the same message :(

The exact problem here. Any news on how to solve this? It hapenned after I used Internet Sharing on my PDA. :(

This problem has been raised before and I eventually found a cure - can't remember exactly what is was but seem to remember having to set up a fake email account and then deleting it. Try a search in Google or similar I think that's how I found it. Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment but it is something that can be corrected.

PS - just found this on the Axim Site - not quite how I remember it but give it a try!

"Problem solved
I had this problem and found a fix.

I solved it by going to Settings|Connections|Configure Network adapters. Set
the 'Remote-NDIS Host' settings to use a specific IP address of 169.254.2.1,
subnet 255.255.0.0, default gateway 169.254.2.2


This is what they should be anyway, everything should work now and no
annoying message."
