Creating TCP/IP connection to PC over cradle wihout using ActiveSy

[Guest]

Hallo,
is it possible to establish tcp/ip connection to pc to witch i am connected
through cradle without using ActiveSync (physicly connected over rs232 or
usb)? Thanks for any reference

Not without writing some sort of custom TCP transport emulation driver.

Or using a RAS server on the PC end and a directly-connected 'dial-up'
attachment on the Windows CE end. Why would you want to do this?

An interesting workaround. It should work, though seems like a lot to get
around funtionality that already exists in ActiveSync.

I'm with you! I suppose that some systems might be 'closed' in the sense
that extra software might not be allowable, but the RAS server in the OS
might be OK or something...

Make system 'closed' is one of reasons(primary to prevent users from deleting
any data) why we don't prefere using ActiveSync, but main reason is that AS
is onother source of problems when supporting our solutions (i don't mean
that AS contains errors, but sometimes our users are not able to get
connected with AS) and therefor whe were forced to use RS232 for data
synchronization as the most reliable solution, ...
My idea was that AS use some kind of TCP emulation drivers, witch could be
used in our solution too...
RAS solution sounds interesting. I'll try to look around for more
information aboat this solution.

Thanks for your ideas!
