How did you get ActiveSync to work over 802.11b? Do you
have to be in Infrastructure mode to do it? I've been
through every permutation of settings I can think of
trying to get it going in Ad Hoc mode, but it just won't
go. I've got a Socket WLan CF card in an iPaq 3635 trying
to talk to a Thinkpad 390x with an Atmel wireless USB
dongle. I've tried varying all the tcp/ip settings
(including trying it with only ip and s/n mask)on both
machines. You name it, I've probably tried it. I just
haven't tried Infrastructure mode because I don't have the
access point (yet). I've got ActiveSync 3.5 because I read
it supports wireless sync now. What's the secret handshake
for this? tia
