Unable to establish a connection between the PC and the device
Hi

Activesync suddenly stopped working with my HTC Touch WM6 device afte
working fine for the first week. When I plug the device into the USB
Activesync awakens, begins to connect, then presents the erro
"Activesync cannot connect to the windows mobile powered device"

All firewalls are off. Port 990 is free and being used b
rapimgr.exe. I've tried rebooting the device and the machine man
times. I've also hard reset the device. No luck. What should
check next

Help is much appreciated

There's no way to answer that question without the ability to debug the
device. HTC could do it, but there's no 'stop syncing.txt' file that you
can remove and expect it to be suddenly fixed. Report the problem to the
manufacturer or to the people from whom you bought the device. Any
information you can figure out with respect to something you're doing that
might trigger the problem (you enter a lot of notes for contacts or calendar
events and when you enter a long note, things stop working, for example).
You might want to also read the log files themselves, rather than counting
on the troubleshooter to do it for you. An error code from a log file can
be very helpful in making a good guess as to what's going on.

Similar problem here if any one is still reading this thread. Bought a HTC
PPC6800 Touch? from Alltel. about 3 weeks go by and they wanna give me a
refurbished cause mine won't open e-mail attachments, rename, move, or delete
files. So I did a hard reset and everything works normal but activesync won't
establish a connection. I think its a network settings issue because before I
reset the phone I had to play with the settings to get it to connect but it
wouldn't sync probably due to the files issue. I can't remember what made it
work though.
On a side note I'm confused about ip addresses, each computer has an ip but
what about all the adapters on a computer? Do both my wired and wireless
adapters need to have different ip's or should they all be the same. but
individual to each computer or router?

Yes, each adapter on a computer has *at least one* IP address. It's
possible, although confusing, to assign several IP addresses to a given
adapter, too. So, when you plug your Windows Mobile device into the USB
port on your PC, your PC now has (at least), two adapters, the Ethernet
adapter that presumably connects you to the local area network, and the USB
RNDIS adapter which is the Windows Mobile device. Each of those has an IP
address (just one, as far as we know). There is no right answer for how the
addresses should relate to each other, but the IP assigned to the PC by the
Windows Mobile device is in the 169.254.2.x area by default and your
Ethernet adapter might have almost any address. Whether they are similar,
totally different or whether your PC even has an Ethernet adapter is no
concern of ActiveSync.

network connects says it is working normal. Also when I go into Zone alarm it
doesn't report the new ip just 169.254.66.5 . Should I manually set my PC to
this and my PPC to say x.x.x.10 or the ppc to x.x.66.5 and the pc to 10

Yes, all adapters need different IPs on the same computer. There can only
be one item with a given IP on the same network (physically connected).

Yes, the device should *not* be set to get an IP address from a DHCP server;
it should be statically assigned to 169.254.2.1. There should not be any
settings necessary on the PC and you should *not* be fooling with the
adapter configuration of the mobile device 'adapter'. The PC needs to have
the DHCP client service running, so that it can get an IP, which will always
be 169.254.2.2, *from* the Windows Mobile device, which acts like a DHCP
server for the little network consisting of the PC and the mobile device.

Ok thanks for help. finally got it to sync but had to disable Zone Alarm. if
disable it is assigned x.x.2.2 but if not it is assigned x.x.66.5 i've read
elsewhere how to config zone to work right but don't understand why Windows
assignes a different ip . And i can load Zone Alarm after connecting my PPC
and it works fine. Also another issue is that when syncing WMP11 it will
randomly disconnect before it finishes my sync list unless it is maybe an
half dozen songs, is this a phone issue or a media player issue?

Thanks you have been a big help.

The DHCP server can assign *any* IP that it wants to. Generally, a given
local network will select a range of IP addresses that are defined to be for
such local networks. Microsoft picked one such range for the mobile device
to assign to the PC for ActiveSync communications.


I have absolutely no idea. I don't use my device as a media player and, if
I did, I think I'd use a card reader device that plugged into USB on my PC
to copy music files over.
