W2K Guest and Activesync

[kaefert]

*gg* in english, as you wish

well i use an ETEN Glofiish X800 with WM6, and no matter how often I restart the ppc, windows xp gives me the error "Eingeschränkte Verbindung" on the network interface to the ppc.. i also removed the security code of my ppc because i wondered if maybe the problem was securityrelated, but nothing changed.

[linuxmake]

Did you try it with a "real" XP? Is it the same with that? Are all the latest updates installed on XP?

[kaefert]

yes - on a real xp it works flawlessly

and yes all updates are installed..

[linuxmake]

Sounds strange to me. The only thing I would take into consideration is to check the XP firewall. Is it the same with disabled firewall? If so, i haven't got any other idea.

[kaefert]

i would like to post something i've done to make it work, but i didnt change anything, i just tried it again after some weeks (only to charge my ppc) and there was the connection - maybe some update (new kernel) that was done in the meantime made the difference...

i only hope that this connection i have right now between my winxp guest of ubuntu 7.10 and my windows mobile 6 device (eten glofiish x800) isnt a one time thing and will continue to work

I solved the synchronisation Problem with my Bluetooth dongel.
You can activate a unbindet Comport in virtualbox (Com3) Then you install the Dongel in the XP-Guestsystem and use the Comport for the Communication.

After adding the Comport and binding the Partnership between your WM Device and your Guestsystem, you can see the Activesync Service on your WM Device.

Activat it and you can Synchronise your WM.

Hello

I think i have a solution for you...

At the launch of your favorite distro, you have to blacklist to different modules :

cdc_ether
rndis_host

It's only because they are used by your distro...

Here is a link for Ubuntu :

I'm using Archlinux, so i have to blacklist them in

/etc/rc.conf

Like that :

MOD_BLACKLIST=(cdc_ether rndis_host)

A restart and all is fine.

I tested it with both Virtualbox and Vmware... With a HTC Touch Cruise...

May be there's something more elegant to do by the devs at Virtualbox, but from now on it's the only solution i found...

Hope it helps...

ps : thanks to Ocenis64 who has find the solution in the lpln irc channel

[kaefert]

and thanks for you for posting it here so i got to know the solution too

BIIIG THANKZ

Hi,

i tired to it like in the screenshot above...but in the settings i didn't have the "usb" section?

what is wrong there?



Host: ubuntu 7.10
guest: winXP SP2

thx

EDIT:

i did this instruction
http://doc.gwos.org/doku.php/doc:office ... sb_devices

but there is no usb-section yet.

is that a general usb-problem or depends it on my guest-system?

[kaefert]

in the settings i didn't have the "usb" section?

that is because you probably only have the open source edition of virtualbox, try the full one from www.virtualbox.org

I installed WinXP, then Outlook 2002 (it was shipped with my HTC device) and afterwards I put ActiveSync into my Virtiual Box. That's it.

It works well but only with USB 1.1. With USB 2 support enabled there is no synchronizing possible.

Thank you. This worked for me.

I can't Start ActiveSync properly with Fujitsu-Siemens N560 Using USB 1.1 and swith from RNDIS mode for ActiveSync to Serial mode does not work. One good thing I can use OpenSync in my Ubuntu 64 bit OS, but Windos Guest although sees N560 and ActiveSync is Starting but does not establish any partnership.
