HTC Diamond Problem

---

Hello guys,since it is my first post I'd like to say "What a wonderful forum!" Thanks for letting lamers like me be here...
I have a problem with my newly bought HTC Diamond..I don't know what and why happens but as soon as I connect the phone to my laptop via USB cable and activesync program, my Wi-Fi goes dead ASAP..it hangs on Acquiring network address and it gets one after a while but no traffic neither on my pc nor on my pda when I disconnect the pda I continue without internet on my pc...I have to restart for it to come and the process repeats itself over and over again
Thanks in advance for your help.

I used to have that problem with my thinkpad and my old smartphone.

Try settings -> all settings -> connections -> USB to PC
and turn off 'enable advanced network functionality'

errr try:

1) performing a hard reset on your Diamond and try this again?

2) try with different laptop?

I think you should try to disable your anti-virus / firewall / internet security program first. i suspect it got something to do it.

I think that is spot on. From what i remember, it was something to do with a 'Security feature' that microsoft implements in async 4, but it only seemed to affect certain intel chipsets (i could be wrong, it's been a while since i saw that happen) for wireless LAN.

Far as i know, there was a USB swithc application made here way back when, that microsoft then copied and put in the roms as USB to PC. hopefully it'll fix your little issue.

Yeah, activsync sets up a virtual network, which drives any connection manager or firewall you have crazy!

Depends on what combination of things your running on your PC.

I remember a similar problem I had and I had to enable Transient Packet Data=Allowed in my firewall. (Outpost Pro).

Thanks guys!

The:

did the job.

Thanks again.

I was gonna suggest that but guess you've found it. Looks like a setup or conflict issue with something else on your laptop.
