Hi there Helio!

Now then... All the information you provided was stuff I already knew.
Details would have helped, not just general stuff. I do completely
understand the physics of the situation, I do Telecomms and Networking at
University, but my problem was more of a design issue from those programmers
at either Pocket PC for making those rules a standard or from
fujitsu-siemens themselves for making pocket plugfree so lame... I appoint
the blame 50-50 on both microsoft and fujitsu-siemens.

I did find, however, a way so synch via bluetooth and further that operate
all other applications that use internet (email, msn messenger,

iexplorer) a solution to get them to work. So I am a happy bunny now!

If people do have problems with Fujistu-Siemens, this is the website:

http://www.firstloox.org/610_review_2.htm (for wi-fi and BT and IrDA)

Thanks for your quick response! Much appreciated!
