Mobility Site - View Single Post - Wireless ActiveSync keeps doing guest partnership

I have a very similar problem - but some curious results.
My setup includes a laptop with WiFi and my Axim with Dell CF WiFi.

I have found WiFi and the Axim really good. No problems generally, especially web browsing which is a dream.

However -

If I take the exact same configuration and at home plug the laptop into my home LAN the Axim can use ActiveSync no problem - with the laptop recognising the pocket_pc partnership.

If I connect the laptop into my work LAN - which is nothing special - then when the Axim tries to connect to the Laptop it is recognised only as guest ? I just cannot get the darn thing to get emails transferred while at work.

I can repeat this reliably - I need to investigate what the effect of the LAN connection is on my laptop perhaps..

I have also scanned all the newsgroups, tried ideas where suggested, but all to no avail..

Any ideas ?

PS. Chercm - The server settings are if you want to connect directly to Microsoft Exchange Server (which I think needs to be configured for Mobile access). You don't need to use this if your PC has got Outlook on it and access to the MS Exchange. I don't think you use this at all if you are just getting messages from a pop3 etc. account
