Re: Ping from PocketPC

ActiveSync isn't a true ethernet connection. It doesn't pass all packets,
and a ping would be one that gets filtered out.

Hi all.

I have created a small utility for Windows Mobile 5.0 based Pocket PC.
The utility allows me to ping any host by sending an ICMP packet an
receiving a reply from the specified host.

For some reason when the device is connected to the internet through
ActiveSync a reply is not received from any host. The utility works as
expected when it is connected using WLAN or UMTS/GPRS connection.
I have tried using the emulator inside VisualStudio, but the same
happens here. I know that the device/emulator is connected to the
internet because I can access the web-page I am trying to ping through
Internet Explorer.

Anyone experienced the same problem? Ant suggestions?

Thank you

Espen Ekvang
