Hi,
What version of the Intel Connection Manager are you using? Version 9x
works with ActiveSync.
I have this fix documented on the troubleshooting guide in my signature.

If it helps, some more specific information about my hardware / software
setup:
Notebook (Toshiba Satellite M50), Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG card, latest
Intel driver (should be 9.0.3). Windows XP Professional SP2 with latest
updates, F-Secure Antivirus 2006, Windows XP firewall enabled. Netgear
DG834GB Wireless router (latest Firmware 2.10.22), MAC address filtering
on,
WPA-PSK encryption. Mobile device is HP hx2790 (Windows Mobile 5.0).
ActiveSync 4.1 installed.
Hope these details help to fix the problem.
Regards,
Thomas Pressel

and access point, what OS, and any network, virus protection, firewall,
VPN,
etc. software. Also, are you using WPA-PSK or are you authenticating
with
some EAP server and using WPA-TKIP? Please describe the network setup as
thoroughly as you can.
I'm trying to get a contact on the AS team to either join the thread or
talk
to you directly. They'll need to be able to go down to the store and buy
exactly what you have to duplicate the problem, though.

Yep, the Intel drivers don't solve the problem. I've contacted Intel
(they
won't take responsibility). I've contacted Sony (Intel told me to
contact
my
notebook manufacturer) and they won't help. So, Microsoft, let's get
this
fixed. I really don't think many home users like myself want to run an
Exchange server or switch to WEP. The easy answer would be to allow AS
to
sync wirelessly using my wireless LAN. Can't be that hard to add that
feature since it was used in past versions of AS. Pretty sad...

Hi!
Unfortunately, the suggestion to install the latest wireless LAN card
drivers did not work (at least not for me). I also have the problem
that
the
WPA-secured connection between my notebook (Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG
card)
running Windows XP Pro SP2 and my wireless router is killed when my
windows
mobile 5 device is connected via USB. The computer has to be restarted
for a
reliable reconnection (before a restart, the connection is established
for
several seconds and then crashes again, reconnects, crashes etc.).
It's
right
that an open connection without encryption is not killed.
The latest Intel driver does not resolve the problem, nor does it the
latest
ActiveSync 4.1 version. Apparently we just have to wait and hope for a
bug
fix.

Hi,
Please visit Intel's website and install the latest update for the
2200
card
you have. This should resolve the problem.

I have just updated my ppc2003 O2 XDA mini to a WM5.0 O2 Atom.
My mini could sync to my wireless laptop using AS 4.1 without
issue.
When I try to sync the Atom via USB it kills my 802.11g WPA
connection
(Intel 2200 to Billion 7402vgo).
If I sync via Bluetooth my wireless is not killed.
If I sync via USB with WPA-PSK turned off (unencrypted link) my
wireless
is not killed.
If I sync via USB with a physical ethernet connection I maintain
network
connectivity.
Once my wireless is killed the laptop needs a reboot to regain
stability.
My easiest solution is to sync via Bluetooth, unfortunately
Microsoft
have seen fit to disable WMP10 sync via bluetooth - no music
transfers,
no license updates. :(
My second easiest solution is to disable WPA-PSK and run my
wireless
link unencrypted. Like yeah, I really want to do this! Also I
can't
do
this at work. :(
My third easiest solution is to tether my laptop to a blue wire :(
This
means I can't work at my desk at work, I need to move to another
desk.
Doing a google search shows this is a confirmed problem. But
nowhere
can
I see suggestions that MS might fix this *BUG*. The MS website
also
doesn't list any support options for ActiveStink.
Does anyone have suggestions apart from these three choices, or an
address for the Activesync developers?
Thanks
