Hard Reset then reinstall only AvantGo: indeed the only solution I am afraid

I am afraid there is no other solution indeed. I tried not to do
it because I have ~$250 in software on that PDA, and backing up
my data then reinstalling everything would be a chore. But you
are right, I can't escape...

One thing came better those days, thanks to another user who
reported positively about AvantGo on Handango, so I finally
reinstalled it, and after a few days of the same flaw, it
mysteriously started to work like a charm again. I don't know
why and how... (May be the numerous times I re-re-uninstalled
that Journal Bar). But Internet Explorer still is unable to get a
single page on the internet, so yes, I think I have to follow your
advice (Hard Reset then reintalling no other news program than
AvantGo). Thanks again.

However may I insist, I think there are some flaws in ActiveSync
3.7.1 and MS should get into it and find it and fix it.

Try performing a hard reset, but do not restore from a backup
(make sure to create a backup though just in case, and be sure
to backup your \My Documents directory on the device if you
aren't using file sync). Do not reinstall Journal Bar.

I got no reply to my referenced post - may be I should
not have posted it as follow-up to an older thread, so
I report it again today but at bottom of the newsgroup -
I apologize for any disturbing (please tell me if so).
This failure is very annoying and I see no way to fix it.
Thanks to anyone who could help.

Subject: Internet unavailable from Pocket PC duely synced with my PC
I have the same problem: PC and PocketPC sync properly, excepted
that PocketPC can't see Internet, even while the PC-PocketPC
connection is active and working properly for everything else.
- My PC is a 1999 laptop, W2KSP4, ActiveSync 3.7.1;
- my PocketPC is an HP iPaq h2215, Mobile PPC 2003,
  with a 256MB CF, a 256MB SD, and plenty software.
- the problem seems to come from ActiveSync and to be
  propagated and/or aggravated (and somewhat hidden)
  by other programs, particularly Journal Bar and AvantGo.

First I could access Internet. But in Jan-Feb 2004...
