It's the way ActiveSync and WM5 work. The device acts like a RNDIS network
adapter so, when you attach it to the PC, the PC sees a new network adapter.
It sets it up and communication between the device, which has a fixed
address on this 'network' of 169.254.2.1, and the PC, which is assigned
169.254.2.2 by the device, can occur.
You have Internet connectivity because ActiveSync has pass-thru capability
where it will send Internet requests of certain types from the WM5 device,
over the PCs default network connection to the Internet, and forward the
replies back to the WM5 device.
When you are connected with ActiveSync, any other network connection which
the WM5 device might have (802.11 or whatever), is disabled by ActiveSync to
prevent unintentional bridging between, say, the Starbucks next door where
the WiFi access point is, and the internal company network which is
accessible via ActiveSync. Telnet doesn't work when connected via
ActiveSync because AS chooses not to support forwarding of Telnet traffic.

Hi All,
I have a problem with a new device I got ( Symbol MC9090 ) it's running
Windows Mobile 5.0 and it has installed a program I wrote that establish a
TCP connection to a remote machine.
When I connect the PPC to the cradle I see like a new network connection
trying to get an IP in the host. at the end it fails asI do not have a
DHCP
active. The problem is that the created connection have IP 169.254.2.2 in
the host and 169.254.2.1 in the PPC and not defined gateway.
Of course when Itry to do a telnet to the remote machine it fails :(
I tried to assign a static IP to eht RNDIS interface but I stil the the
aboves IPs assigned.
The weirdest thing is that IE does have connection !!!
Where can be the problem? I'm been on this for a couple of days now and
I'm
getting frustaed.
Thanks a lot !
Ignacio
