Access to a server using the Cradle

I have a PocketPC WM2003SE and AS 4.1.
I have a web server running on the PPC (port 80 or whatever) and I want to
access it from my PC browser when the device is cradled through USB cable.

I have read a lot of articles discussing about the subject and I tried
different combinations, without any success.
My status:
- I can access a web server running in my PC from the PPC's PIE through the
ppp_peer host name, or through the local IP addr 192.168.55.100
- PC side, there is no network adapter for the PPC created (ipconfig /all)
- PC side, there is no special route for PPC (route print)
- When I try to access http://192.168.55.101 from computer's IE, I have an
error message to connect to my PPC server. Same result with ppp_peer instead
of the IP address.

I also try to use AS3.8 instead of v4 (on a different computer), with the
hope that TCP tunneling will work better …. Without success …

Any Idea ?

Hi,
The issue is related to the web server running on the PPC. The desktop
passthrough only allows the Pocket PC to access the PC but not vice versa.
Also, it could be related to the IP address that the web server is bound to.
It may default to 127.0.0.1 and that should work for other network
connections.

Hi,

The web server running on my PPC is listening on all network interfaces. If
I try to access it through PIE using the IP local address (192.168.55.101),
it works. Of course, it also works using loopback address
(localhost=127.0.0.1).
The problem is that IE on my PC computer does not know how to route the HTTP
request to 192.168.55.101. Sniffing what's happening network side, I have an
ICMP response from my gateway indicating that the IP address 192.168.55.101
is unreachable, which is normal because I do not have any route configured
locally for this address ("route print" does not indicate any network
interface for the activesync connection).

How can I make activesync connection appear as a network connection PC side
? How can I configure a new route to this address ?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Hi,
This is exactly what I thought. I expected this would be the case since
Microsoft wants to protect your desktop. So at this point I do not know of
a way to fix it.
