What's the deal with "The page can not be displayed" in PIE?

[mirkazemisaman]

I get this error frequently when visiting web sies on my 400 mhz Axim. There is really no reason for this. Example:
I turn on my Axim and go to www.pocketpcthoughts.com and it displays the page correctly, then I go to say www.msn.com and do some work there and then again when I want to go to www.pocketpcthoughts.com it says "The page can not be displayed". A lot of the web pages that I know work with PIE sometimes just give me the same error. Is there anyway to fix this?

Am I the only one with this problem? Hhhhheeeellllllppppp please!!!

the only time I've had that problem is when the network connection didn't connect! 8O

Seriously, though, using a wireless setup, if the dhcp server doesn't provide an IP address, the local IP address is set to a microsoft standard internal ip address (something like 169.x.x.x). You might check to see if things are working on your network.

There are a few utilities that will tell you your IP address if it changes. Check into those. One is http://www.isimus.com/IPer/. More can be found at http://www.cewindows.net/faqs/networkutils.htm.

If you are connecting via the ActiveSync -- make sure the ActiveSync is green!

Good luck,

Dan

Thank you for your help. I'll check my network as soon as I get home.

I remeber something vaguely about a problem with PIE doing that... you had to run a file on the PPC to correct the problem. not narrowed down to any brand/device either.

Maybe do a search for PIE stuff here, maybe you can find an older thread that talks about the same problem.

Might help, might not, but worth a shot.

I just recieved my Dell and when i get new harware i hack it as much as i can. I found a web site that edits PPC:
http://www.phm.lu/PocketPC/RegTweaks/

There is a reg editor download and then tweak the registry IE from MIE 3.02 to 5.5 or 6.0

this has helped me alot.

OK, I have downloaded PHMRegEdit, but have no clue how to change that IE setting. I have no experience with editting registries whatsoever. So can someone help me out with this please.

Use this instead. No need to know the keys you need to modify...
