[kayawu]

guys why cant i connect to internet via Activesync, internet explorer doenst open any site
please help, what settings are necessary at connections?

[David Balfour]

Hi
The connection settings need to be on
Allow USB [ON]
Allow Connections to COM [OFF]
This Connection is connected to: [set this to automatic]

The other settings you can choose what you want them on as they do not affect the way the PC sees your phone.

IF this does not work i would try a reinstall of active sync or deleting the device from active sync and re-adding it.

Cheers Dave

it says cant get IP address automatically..

[David Balfour]

OK

When you connect your phone it gets assigned onto it's own network port so it could be the settings on this.

Connect up you phone. Once this has been done on you PC goto Start>Control Panel>Network Settings.
From here you will be able to see the phone. It will be under Lan or High speed internet and then the Local Area connection with "windows mobile device" under it as well

From here right click on it and goto Properties. Click on the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and the click on properties when this lights up beneath it.

Make sure that it is all set to Obtain Automatic for IP, DNS and Private IP

This should cure the fault. Let me know

Cheers Dave

thanks again

i guess, i tried it before.. there was 255.255.255.0 as DNS and IP blank..
i changed it "Automatic".. but the same.. doesnt work

Ok
Only one last thing i have found that it may be.

If you go on your phone Start>Settings>Connections>Network Cards

Check that they are all set to Automatic. The one that really counts is the Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that this is set to automatic and there is nothing in the Name Servers Tab.

Also what Browser are you using on the Phone. Try using IE.
