No internet/data connection when connected via USB

[jtm0n3y]

There is probably a simple fix for this so I'm going to ask. When I have my phone connected to my computer via USB i am unable to surf the net on my phone or get weather updates...however...i can still recieve calls and get and send text messages. Is there a way to make it so that web browsing and weather tab updates are still functional while the phone is connected to the computer?

I've wondered this also. In addition I usually get a #777 error, complaining about the lack of a data connection.

Go to "mobile device settings" in your Windows Mobile Device Center and check the box that says "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC."

any idea how to do this on activesync? what you mentioned is for vista :(

[mmmhhh86]

oh im sorry i didnt realise you didnt have vista. I think there should be similar settings in the active sync. Probably in connection settings :/

Activesync>Connection Settings. Check "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"

just got it.
you connect your diamond to pc with activesync, open connection setting and change the "this computer connect to" to "automatic".
and you need to tick the box "allow USB connection" as well.
