When I connect the Blackjack II to the laptop via ActiveSync, the internet on the BJ II stops working.  Why is that?

Because by default when you connect a phone to active sync it disables the data connection on the phone.  You can change that. Its under the connection menu option in active sync I believe.  I don't have XP any more so I don't have active sync to double check that exact location but I know its an option.

What you said made sense, but I've looked for that option for a while, and couldn't find it.

In Activesync go to:
     File->Connection settings...
Change the value of "This computer is connected to:" to:
     "The Internet."

The option is available in the Activesync of the laptop computer, but
not in the Activesync of the Blackjack II.  And when connected, my
laptop is still able to connect to the internet.  But it's the Blackjack's
internet connection is disconnected.

The setting change has to be done on the PC not the phone.

Go to the Pc Activesync's Connection Settings window and look for the Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop checkbox. Enable this, disconnect the phone, then reconnect it and your phone's WiFi and GPRS connection should work while docked.

Thanks for the message.  However, it didn't resolve the problem.  This is a bit frustrating because the settings involved were so simple to trivial, but I can't get it working.  On the
laptop's ActiveSync, under File/Connection Settings, there are 5 places for checks.  I checked all but the 3rd one "Allow connections to one of the following".  This includes the one you mentioned "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop".  But it didn't work.  
Yes, I've web service on the blackjack.  The moment I disconnect the ActiveSync, the BJ II can connect to the net.  

Need more help on this.
