Re: TCP/IP over USB

There's nothing built in to do that, other than what ActiveSync is based on.
Are you the host or the device on USB? If you're the host and you can make
the external device look like a network device, you could do what ActiveSync
does, except in reverse, I guess. If you're the client, you could, in
theory at least, use what ActiveSync does, without ActiveSync itself. You
look like a USB RNDIS adapter and, as long as the suitable PC-side driver
for USB RNDIS is installed, everything should work just like when ActiveSync
is running, but you don't have to sync.

I think you're going to have to tell us what sort of a device this is,
whether you are the device OEM and are in control of the OS development or
not, who is the host and who is the device on the USB connection, etc.

Is there a way to do TCP/IP communications over a USB connection?
Preferably one that does not involve active-sync.
If anybody has any samples or can point me to the proper API calls, I
would appreciate it.

Thanks,
