I have a WiFi CF card for Pocket PC 2003. This works fine. But, when I would
like to use a normal CF and change the WiFi card with it, the OS all the
time asks me that he couldn't connect to the Internet (duh..).

How can I disable this irritating question?

Thanks!

There's no way to diasble this, the msg that you're getting is because a
program on your device is trying to access the net. I would check you
e-mail settings and also activesync settings on your device and make sure
that they are not trying to automatically update.

Strange, when I erase all the applications (as inbox, msn and activesync) by
the memory screen in settings, the popup will stay. So, there is something
that would like to connect to the Internet, but I really don't no what.

Another place in activesync to check is Tools>Options uncheck "use mobile
schedule to sync with this pc" then goto the mobile schedule tab on that
same page and make sure both settings are set to Manually. Usually most
third party programs ignore the connection manager so I would say the
problem is in one of the built in apps.

And, in the definition of the Mail account in Inbox (advanced options
button, page 1/3), check if you haven't set the option to "check mail every
x minutes".

Thank you. When I disable the "check mail every x minutes" the message
disappear. I thought when the inbox is out of the memory, that it wouldn't
make a connection with the Internet, but it does...
