My SBS2003 server is the only machine in the workplace with a static
external IP address.
We have ISA2000 running on this server also. I can get a VPN connection
from my Laptop to the Server so I do not think it is an ISA blockage that is
causing my Remote Synch Problem. ( I never did get remote synch to work on
my Pocket PC )
My Workstation just has an internal IP address. 192.168 ....... so I can't
set that IP address for the VPN connection
My Pocket PC synch's with my Workstation no problem when it is in the Cradle
( attached via USB )
We Synch the exchange folders and other items no problem using this method.
However, the remote synch is the problem.
At home, I have a wireless modem box and can wirelessly connect to the
internet on my Pocket PC, so I know I have an internet connection.
However, when at home, and I tap 'Sync' in the active Sync screen, the
Pocket PC makes a VPN connection to the Server and I can see the timer tick
away for the duration of the connection. My VPN is connected to the server,
at least according to the Pocket PC ( IPAQ 4150 )
The ActiveSync screen says 'Connecting' but thats it. Nothing happens after
that
Eventually I press Stop ( After 15 minutes of no action ) and I get an
error - 'Try to Sync again or look up Active Synch Help'
My Settings on ActiveSync are as follows
Under Tools, Options, PC Tab
Use this PC: the name of my workstation
I have checked the two boxes under that
When I tap the Options Box, I have checked 'Enable PC synch using this
connection (USB)' when cradled
Under The 'Server' Tab, I have the IP address if the SBS2003 server and
under options I have my user name and password from the network
I tried to install ActiveSync on the SBS2003 server and put the server name
in the "Use this PC" option when Syncing remotely, but this did not work.
Where to start looking ??
