Hmm...OK mine works just fine..wonder why I though it didn't work..

What appears to happen is that when I connect my handheld to my laptop
it then switches wireless connection off and uses the USB cradle
option under connections.

Just tried it, sent some e-mails to my office account, seems to work
OK..

OK...now I'm confused...

I get back into the office today and conenct to the LAN and logon to
my firewall connection manager...and now it won't work again...

When I tested this the other day I did this from home over a dial in
VPN connection.
I still had internet access at the time, albiet through my router/
hardware firewall at home.
That's when I had it working OK.

Now I'm in the office behind a managed firewall with a connection
manager client it won;t work again.

So, mindful that we have another gateway at the office I 've changed
my IP address and gateway to go out through the instead and logged off
of the firewall connection manager...so I'm on the internet through a
different gateway..

...and now it works OK again...

OK, I thought that when I was connected to the LAN then the sync was
redirected through the LAN.
Is this not correct ?
Does the handheld still require internet access to sync with exhange
even though I'm connected to my laptop and the laptop is connected to
the LAN ?

It appears that the handheld does indeed switch from using it's own
wireless internet gateway to the gateway configured on the laptop. So
there is a change of sorts when I connect the handheld to the laptop
via the USB cable.

But I thought that the handheld would hit the exchange server via the
LAN whilst it was in effect docked rather than over the internet..

Obviously this isn't the case ?

Jim.
