Re: Plugging into ActiveSync removes my ability to connect Wifi on my MDA Pro

Gotcha. Makes sense. I figured it was intentional.

Thank you,

Kai

That's intentional and is generally accepted to be because of security,
since the AS connection is a network connection and accidentally forwarding
packets between some insecure wireless network in the coffee shop next door
and your otherwise-secure enterprise network seemed like a bad idea.

Hello all:

I have an MDA pro, with an O2 rom (1.30.107WWE; 1.09.00; 1.30.162 WWE).
I have ActiveSync 4.2 When I connect via USB, my wireless seems to get
turned off, though in the connections screen, it doesn't show it as
such. Wireless just cannot connect. Any idea why?

Thanks,

Kai
