My PC gets its IP address from dhcp and is therefore not fixed.
However, it is in the range 192.168.0.x, so I have set the IP address
of e740 to 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Because the PC has its IP address allocated by dhcp, I don't want to
use its address for default gateway. - currently I've set that
parameter to the same as the default gateway on the PC. Currently I've
also left the "name servers" parameters blank.
The result is quite strange. I started off setting the e740 IP address
to 192.168.0.200, but upon activating the wireless connection it
complained of a duplicated IP address. So I changed it to
192.168.0.100. The strange thing is that on the PC, it continues to
report the e740 IP address as 192.168.0.200. I thought it might be a
temporary glitch and rebooted both the PC and e740, but the same
result occurs: the e740 confirms the IP address set as 192.168.0.100,
yet the PC continues to report it as 192.168.0.200
At least now both the e740 and PC appear to agree they are connected
(even if they can't agree on the IP address being used).
The bad news is that it won't ActiveSync. I follow the Toshiba
instructions and try to connect from the e740, but it keeps failing.
What I couldn't understand in the Toshiba instructions is the settings
for "connection settings". It tell to change them from "Internet
Settings" to "Work Settings". However in my case neither setting of
these parameters seems to have any effect.
Have you done an ActiveSync through wireless and what settings did you
use?

I'm not sure of mac address, but both PC and e740 seem to show like
details now which I think represent something called BSIB (or
something similar, but can't locate it right now)
