PocketPC IP addressing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi

I am running Activesynch on my network connected PC.

When my PocketPC is connected via the cradle it displays an IP address of
192.168.55.101 which it seems is generated by ActiveSynch.

The problem is my PC is on my work network which uses different a address
range to that which my PDA is displaying and so my PDA cannot 'see' my
network - When I ping from my PDA to a known Network device the Ping fails.

So my question is how can I get a correct networked IP address assigned by
my networks DHCP server sent to my device ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Michael

That address is hardcoded, AFAIK, and can not be changed...
