Can I ActiveSync wirelessly on my E755?

[John Wilson]

I'm not sure how to do this but I'd like to ActiveSync with my desktop PC using my home network. My desktop is hardwired to my router but I do have a couple of PCs that are connected wirelessly to an access point.

I should mention that I can Activesync with my PC using the USB cradle and I can surf the Web using the built in WiFi on the 755. I'd just heard that it may be possible to Activesync wirelessly as well.
:D

If anyone has a similar setup and has been able to get this to work on the 755, please let me know what steps/settings you used to get it functional.

Thanks for your help :mrgreen:

All you need to do is ensure your network is set to connect to Work (not The Internet), go Start -> ActiveSync, then tap on Sync. That's it!

Cool. I was wondering this as well. So to recap. :)

1) connet to your access point as "work"

Thats it?

I thought you had to make the PPC a static IP and all this other stuff.

Nope. That's it.

Here's what I did:

I went to Start>Settings> then the Connections tab>Connections>then the Advanced tab>Select Networks> halfway down the page the item that reads "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using" and then I selected My Work Network.

After doing this, I can ActiveSync wirelessly and I can get to files on my network using the File Explorer on my PPC.

I'm still a newbie but how do I get files from my network onto the PPC so that I can work with them? i.e. Word or Excel?

Thanks agin for the help, Rob!
