Out of interest, what IP address have you used? I used the "Use specific IP address" and specified 169.254.2.1 and it all works perfectly. I don't know if it would cure the slow down problem that you mentioned, cos I haven't got Internet through Active Sync working yet... actually, I'm not sure why I'd need it :-)
Hi virge,

I take it that your computer is not connected to the internet all the time? Because if it is your PDA should be able to access internet using ActiveSync. Just make sure that in the ActiveSync -> File -> Connections Settings you have "This computer is connected to:" set to "The Internet".

I've tried to use the same IP address I assigned to my PDA for my Wi-Fi connection ie 10.0.0.51. I did notice that it tends to get 169.254.2.1 assigned when using "Use server-assigned IP address". You will also notice that in the network connections the network interface gets IP address of 169.254.2.2.

I've now tried 169.254.2.1 and it seems to be working much better.

Thanks for that.

Oleg
