Sync over LAN

[cweeks]

Okay, I just don't get it. How do I sync my 4150 over my LAN connection. I'm able to surf the internet, and even connect to my home network and shared drives, but I just can't figure out how to get it to sync using the Wireless LAN connection. I'm sure there's some simple setting that is eluding me.

Chances are you do NOT have NetBIOS enabled then. In order to sync you must be able to convert the name of your PC into an IP address on your PocketPC. You may want to download vxUtil from here www.cam.com (it's free) and try to ping the name of your computer, if this works, and it returns the correct address, then you have another problem. If it doesn't work you will not be able to get ActiveSync to work until this is resolved.

Other things to check, when undocked:
1) Start (menu) | ActiveSync | Tools | Options... | Bottom box must be checked, "Sync with this PC during manual sync"

2)You may want to uncheck the "Use mobile schedule to sync with this PC" box, or you can find your PocketPC turning on an syncing through out the day.

Tap Options...

3) You may want to check the "Maintain connection" button

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, but I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I had been trying to connect with my "Work Connection" which kept demanding a VPN. When I switched to the ISP setting it synced just fine.
