Re: Active Sync picking up proxy settings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

FWIW I'm having the same problem. I have an inventory scanner that uploads
data to a website. I've been unable to get it to work for regular users as
a group policy causes Internet Explorer to use a proxy server. Any other
application will use the default gateway, but not ActiveSync! It's not a
big problem for me as they only need to do this once a month, so I just log
on as an Administrator to do it. This isn't real high on my list of
problems, but it would be nice to find a fix.

I have a Palm using Windows mobile OS and active Sync 4.5 on a OC at work.
The PDA connects to the wireless system at work and works just fine when
not
set to use a proxy server. The problem comes in when the PDA is synced to
its
host computer, it picks up the computers proxy settings and it kills the
PDA
ability to use the internet unless the proxy settings arem anually turned
off. Have tried to manually remove the proxy settings from the host
computer
but because of group policy they are turned back on at every
restart/login.
Is there a way to stop active sync from sycning this setting? I tried to
look
for a setting myself but the only thing I could find for sync settings
were
on outlook related items.
