Guest troychen Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 When I connect the Blackjack II to the laptop via ActiveSync, the internet on the BJ II stops working. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dtphantom Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you said made sense, but I've looked for that option for a while, and couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Activesync go to: File->Connection settings... Change the value of "This computer is connected to:" to: "The Internet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest troychen Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
