Socket via ActiveSync

[Joerg Janes]

Hi

is there a chance to create a Socket connection between a PDA and a PC via ActiveSync if the PDA is plugged into the cradle

I want to create such kind of a connection by using C#. What libraries/classes should I use on PC and PDA side therefore

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Im sure its NOT possible as I tried it a little while
ago.
To do the task you'l have to get a Wireless card for the
PDA and a Wireless Access Point. I think ActiveSyn
prevents the Sockets Comms.

HTH.

But i think it might be possible because many applications seem to be using
socket to communicate with the desktop via activesync. An example is the
application remote display (shipped with the mobile power toy, can be
downloaded from microsoft's site) which looks like to be connecting to the
desktop via activesync.

To verify this, you can to write a socket client application on the pocket
pc to connect to a socket server application on desktop computer using the
domain name PPP_PEER.

Hi!

I have an FTP client embedded in my application and it runs perfectly by
cradle, inside the emulator, using a GSM/GPRS connection and, of course,
using Wifi.
It has no mistery. you only need to start a socket connection. The only
limitation (and it's a configuration matter) it's the DNS. Another thing to
take in mind is that the ActiveSync connection must have a relationship
stablished otherwise it doesn't work.

Hi,

is it possible to use the Desktop as client and the pda as server while
pluged in the cradle?

If it is possible, what IP should I use for the PDA?

Can you give a hint?
