It could be worse, Janak. You could spend all day looking for this:

Thanks for all the posts, however after following all the threads and tutorials that I can find, I still cannot activesync via my wireless connection. I have a Toshiba e740 and a dlink 614+ router. The really strange thing is that it works, but only after I have connected the laptop and the PPC via Microsoft Protrait (I was testing the video capabilities). Even after I shut down Portrait, it still works for a while afterwords. Anyone have any ideas?

ecc1218,

When you can't activesync, can you still connect to the Internet?

I'd suggest you download a copy of vxUtil and see if you can ping your desktop.

The internet connection always works. I have vxUtil, and can ping the desktop by IP, or by name when using pockethosts. I've followed most of the advice I've seen in various forums and it still doesn't work. Portrait is the only thing that's worked (go figure), and its driving me insane.

[Janak Parekh]

Hmm, that gives me an idea. Are you running a software firewall on your desktop? It's possible that MS Portrait "opens the ports" so that ActiveSync works for a while, and then the firewall closes them after some idle time. Try disabling any such app on your desktop and see if that does the trick.

No firewall software on the desktop, and it doesn't *appear* that the router is blocking anything.

[Janak Parekh]

Hmm. Then I don't know. You've checked to see if the wireless router has firmware upgrades, right? Other than that, it's difficult to say without actually seeing it.

hey guys.. i just got a compactflash 802.11b card and i put it into my audiovox maestro. i followed the instructions, but somehow im not getting it working. when i visit any website - it still keeps on saying "the page you are looking for cannot be found" in fact i dont even get a "configure your connections" message box. my wireless network is a syslink. i dont think i need to use proxy, cause i dont have any firewalls put up yet. so can u ya help me guys?

Well now thanks to the help I have recieved from a number of people here I am able to browse my work network wirelessly and I can get the Ipaq to sync with a designated laptop, but what I cannot do is sync with the exchange server or get Pocket IE to work.

When I try to sync with the server I get a message saying that no network is detected (even though I can ping the Ipaqs ip address fine and, as I said browse the network drives). As far as I can see I have the server name etc entered correctly but no joy - any ideas?

As for Pocket IE I am having the same problem as Nerve:

Any ideas what settings I might be getting wrong? I have connection manager set to work settings/work settings/work and our connection does not use a proxy.
