Network connection problems
The following solutions may help if you encounter problems when using a network card for
network connections. Additional troubleshooting information is available in Connections Help on
the Pocket PC and ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
• Verify that you have an Ethernet card that is compatible with your Pocket PC.
• Verify that you have added necessary server information. Tap
and then Settings. On the
Connections tab, tap Network Adapters. Tap your installed adapter (usually your Ethernet
card’s name), tap Properties, and enter any necessary information. Most networks use DHCP,
so you should not have to change these settings unless your network administrator instructs you
to do so.
• If Network Connection isn’t listed as a connection method in the ActiveSync dialog box when
starting synchronization, wait a few minutes and try again. Also, if synchronization does not
start right away, the network is probably busy, and it may take a minute for your Pocket PC to
connect to the network.
• Make sure that the proper drivers for your card are installed on the Pocket PC. For more
information, see the owner’s manual for the network card.
• Verify with your network administrator that your user name and password are correct.
• Verify with your network administrator that the network you are trying to connect to is
available, or try to connect to it from another computer.
• You may need to change the Pocket PC name if you are trying to connect to a network and
cannot because another Pocket PC with the same name is already connected. To change the
Pocket PC name, tap
and then Settings. On the System tab, tap About, and then the Pocket
Device ID tab.
