If you mean, how do I stop an ActiveSync connection from breaking WiFi *on
the device*, you can't. It's done that way for a good reason, but my
understanding is that WM6 provides a means for this to be disabled because
of the complaints about it. However, you can't somehow get that into your
WM5 device.
How many things does Windows Mobile do 'behind your back' that you *don't
want* to hear about or read about in some readme file? No one is going to
document every behavior that the operating system has (it would be thousands
of pages). This wasn't a great choice without some way to allow the
connections, but security-wise, it makes sense to do this.
*Why* do you need to have ActiveSync and WiFi connected at the same time?
Maybe we can find another way to do what you want.

Hi,
How to stop ActiveSync from disconnecting WiFi on WM5?
I know, this question was asked 1 year ago
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync&tid=01b3d841-2f5a-4fae-b940-8be0a8058682&cat=en_US_45621a68-06ee-4984-9f5f-0e20528276a4&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1
but there were no answer.
I am so frustrated! I wasted the whole day troubleshooting this strange
WiFi disconnection problem. I contacted HP support, my WiFi router
support, tried all kind of settings, read tons of similar complains on the
Web (all without any solution). Some people even suggested
that my iPaq is defective and I should ask HP for a replacement!
Finally I decided that my iPaq is simply incompatible with my router,
so I decided to throw it away (at least put it away for now).
Then, in process of throwing it away, I disconnected ActiveSync
and WiFi started working! Connected it back - WiFi killed again.
Shame to Microsoft for making this behavior behind my back
without saying a word.
Still, the question is: how to disable it? Anything in the registry?
I really must have ActiveSync and WiFi connected at the same time.
Thank you
John
