connecting to internet via desktop?

hi,
i stupidly assume that when i active sync my ipaq 114 with my computer i would automaticaly have access to internet but that doesn't appear to be so. what do i need to do to get internet access through my desktop connection?

i hve not been able to google much as most guides are for setting wireless connection. any help is most appreciated. thank you.

You need to enable the option in activesync on your PC for internet pass through.

hi ,
i read somewhere you can't do that anymore with activesync 4.5 and anyway theres no such function to enable internet pass through on my active sync options. anything else i can try?

Activesync does it now by default.

Find the option in activesync that says 'this computer is connected to' and try internet.

In pocket IE connection settings, you many need to ensure this matches and is also internet.

Finally check your firewall on your PC, and follow MS settings in the pocket PC settings for ensuring your firewall is set up correctly.

ok, i have set this computer is connected to internet in activesyn

how do i check the above in pocket ie? i look in all the tabs under menu in pocket ie and couldn't find anything similar

lastly i just turn off firewall cos i don't know how to mess with it.

i went ahead and click on pocket ie anyway and type in a few addressese like google, yahooo and it said page not found and to check the name?

thank you for being patient

hi again,

2) In PIE, select Tools->Options->Connections. Then, select "The Internet" as your network.


i did exactly that and nowhere could i select the "the internet" as my connection. that seems to be missing so i thnk i better call the microsoft helpline and keep my fingers crossed. maybe threre's smething wrong with my ipaQ.

Thanks so much for all your help
