Hi guys,
I'm running a MDAII (Himalaya) with WM6. 'Cause I don't like M$ Active Sync (and it doesn't work ;) ) I wanted to establish own TCP/IP Connections to my PC (winXP).
When the PDA is connected to the PC the "Remote NDIS-Host" is activated on the PDA and I get on the PC the "Windows-Mobile-based device" (WMBD). So far so good.
Cause my local network is configured as 192.168.x.x I assigned manually to the Remote-NDIS-Host (Connections->Networkadapters->Remote-NDIS) a 192.168.x.x adress and on the PC to the WMBD too.
Ping from PC to PDA works. But thats it. If I run "vxUtils" and watch the Info field, it tells me, that the PDA's current adress is "169.254.2.1" even tough its configured to another one which is shown by vxutils beyong the adapters information.
Any idea why I can't override that 169.254. adress ?
So long

Btw. - if I assign 169.254.2.2 to the PC WMBD and 169.254.2.1 to the PDA I can establish a FTP Connection to the FTP Server on the PC listening at 169.254.2.2; but a connection to an also running WEB Server via IE doesn't work ..
