    Hi - Like many others, I am having trouble using ActiveSync via WiFi..
    I have printed out & followed the excellent web guides at the
    following -

    Windows Mobile 2003 ActiveSync Configuration
    for 802.11b and Ethernet networks -

    The Windows Mobile 2003 Connection Manager -

    When I try to sync via WiFi, I can see the PPC trying to connect to my
    desktop and then I get an error message - "VPN Server problems.
    Verify username and password, then try again". What Username and
    Password should I be using? The box that I sync with is a WinXP HE
    box. My adminstrator account is the only account on the box and that
    one does not seem to work. I do not have any file sharing enabled on
    this box, so there are no share names or passwords.

    My network is switched with one leg going to an Access Point - 128bit
    WEP enabled. I have no problems on the PPC getting to the Internet
    and/or syncing via USB cable. I am unable to see my PPC (a Toshiba
    E800) when browsing the network, but am able to ping it by name.

    Thoughts/Suggestions?

    TIA - Tom
