Re: Active Sync 4.1 / WLAN trouble

Yes, it kills *your* connection, but it doesn't prevent others on the same
WPA network from working, does it? Your problem sounds like an *exact
match* for those in the Activesync Kills Wireless thread in this group,
which started a long time back. You can use GoogleGroups to find that
thread and read all the old messages and my attempts to get useful
information to the AS team concerning what hardware/software versions which
trigger the problem. That problem is definitely Intel-specific. You can
see what success a small percentage of people have had in fixing it with
different driver versions in that thread, also.

It causes *all* devices on the network to lose connection in all cases?
I've been in communication with Harish and some of the other guys on the
team about the loss of AS computer connection (the "Activesync Kills
Wireless" thread, here), with WPA/Intel/version 10 drivers, but that
doesn't sound like the same problem as described here, where the entire
wireless network is destroyed when the WM device is connected.

The (almost) same config here:

Intel 2200BG with Version 9.0.4.13 Drivers immediately kills my 802.11g
WPA protected WLAN connection for good the moment my PC obtains an IP
address from the WM5.0 client via AS 4.1 - only a reboot reactivates it.
My notebook is running Win XP SP2 at the current patch level with no third
party firewalls or such nonsense installed.

Other WLAN clients do not notice a thing so it really seems to be a driver
/ AS issue...
