Re: Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address

I think you may have missed the point. Some ppc's have multiple nics, e.g.
the usb for activesync, wifi, bluetooth etc.

If one freezes the IP of the subnet, as you describe, then what happens when
trying to access the (inter)net through a wifi router which is running a DHCP
server? Is the ppc capable of different ip's for each of its interfaces? If
that is so, then how come the NDIS seems to be generically associated with
connections?

Thanks in advance for your response.

You lost me. The IP is just the IP of your local device. It neither
enables nor prevents Internet access. The ActiveSync program running on the
connected PC is responsible for forwarding the network traffic to Web
servers, etc. That is, the router configuration of the *PC* determines how
the Internet is accessed.

This is on the device that you see the message or on the PC? If the
device,
open the Control Panel | Connections | Network Cards applet and tap on
the
Remote-NDIS Host item. If Use server assigned IP address is selected,
change to selecting Use specific IP address and set the address fields
to:

169.254.2.1
255.255.255.0
