Re: Please, don't let ActiveSync kill my WiFi!

I'm surprised that there was no answer a year ago. That is the normal behavior, and AFAIK no workaround. Same if you have a GPRS connection going and plug into AS or WMDC. GPRS shuts down. Phone works, just no wireless data. My gut feeling, though I haven't tried to find corroboration, is that this is a 'security feature'. They are not letting you attach a virtual wireless access point to a network.

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
