If cradled what data should I see using vxIPConfig?

In "USB Cable" page

Adaptor address is 00-00-00-00-00-00

IP address and gateway information appears unidentifable

Lease obtained says DHCP disabled

Update to my post -

Using vxIPConfig

I can ping my desktop name and its IP address
I can ping the ip address of my Belkin gateway router and my Webstar cable modem

but I cannot browse from the cradle using AS passthrough like I could previously.

Is it significant that dchp is not enabled on the iPAQ and if yes how do I enable it.

using either vxUtil or vxIPconfig I am getting 192.168.0.x as an IP address. I have not really paid attention to a MAC address.

To enable internet access through ActiveSync, on the PC, open ActiveSync, File, Connection Settings and make sure the box "Allow network (Ethernet) and Remote Access Service (RAS) server connection with this desktop computer" is checked.

I'm pretty sure DHCP is unnecessary for the cradle connection. AS uses TCP/IP, but the number assignment occurs independent of any DHCP server.

Ike,

Your settings were already in place.

I can ping every IP but I cannot browse. Could a WINS setting be the problem?

This learning curve is getting steeper!

I've never had anything in the WINS settings. It's been months since I tried using passthrough so I have no idea what other settings could be causing problems.
