Hello guys....
I bought yesterday a pocket pc hp 2970 (win mobile 05)...

I wanted to set up an activesync connection with the wifi, but this option
is not present in the software (activesync 4.1)....

I tried to install an older version in which the connection over wifi is
permitted, but the computer does not recognize the pocket pc when i put it in
the cradle....

If it's impossible, i would like someone to explain to me how to set up a
wifi connection in order to surf the net with the pocketpc (without
activesync)....

I tried to set up an ''adhoc'' connection between my notebook and the pocket
pc, but internet doesn't open pages even if the connection between computer
and ppc exists and have a good signal.

I use a PCMCIA modem (Vodafone connect card- UMTS),
but i don't understand anything about ip or other settings to make internet
function on ppc....(running ipconfig in dos i gives me an IP address)

Could someone explain me something about it ?

Thank you in advance.....

Microsoft disabled synchronization via tcp/ip (wired or wireless) in
ActiveSync starting with version 4.x. Much bemoaned and discussed. Try
using google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look
up
activesync 4.1
in microsoft.public.pocketpc

ActiveSync 4.x is, indeed, required for WM 5.
