Hi Dean,

Well I did as you instructed and upon going in to the "Utilities" menu and selecting "Miscellaneous Options Setup List", ActiveSync connection was still set to serial port. I changed this to EtherNet and after returning to the "Utilities" menu and pressing "C" I receive the message "No partnerships: you must establish a partnership with a desktop computer prior to running ActiveSync." I hit enter and am returned to the "Utilities" menu and then roughly five to ten seconds later get a gong sound from the BrailleNote.

I went onto the PC and deleted the partnership I had set up there previously thinking that I needed to set up another brand new one and repeated the steps above and still no change.

By the way my router is set up with DHCP enabled.

Hello Chuck,

Do you have DHCP enabled on the router? If so, remove the card. Perform a 456/JKL reset, setting the time and date appropriately. Next, insert the network card again and after a few seconds, you should be away laughing. In this situation, BNIP config doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be used in most instances.

Don, I have done all things you mentioned below.  Still no luck.
Anyone else with any thoughts on this issue.

Chuck,

Have you established the partnership while connected via serial port and then run the bnipconfig.exe program to program the bn with the correct parameters
from your pc?

I am successfully using activesync connecting to the bn via the ethernet card here.

Also, after you set the parameters for the bn be sure to disconnect activesync and also look in connection settings within activesync to be sure you have all the boxes checked properly. I uncheck the box telling activesync to look on serial port and check the one for activesync to use the network.

Finally, I've found it's a good idea to do a simple reset of the bn after you program it with the parameters from bnipconfig.exe.



I hope this is enough info to help you out. If I can assist further, don't hesitate to let me know.

Don

I am currently using the BrailleNote QT with KeySoft 5.1 build 22 and
ActiveSync v3.71. build 4034.  I am running on a Windows XP with service
pack 2 installed and am having problems connecting to ActiveSync with an
ethernet card. I have the CP ethernet card recommended by Pulse Data and have followed the proceedures to connect via ethernet (i.e. I have followd
the steps outlined in appendix D section D1 "Instructions for Setting Up
Networking" and still no luck.  What am I missing? This worked fine with
Windows 98 so I am assuming there is some issue with Windows XP. I am also
using a Linksys Broadband Firewall Router

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. This list is great!
I've already gotten some questions answered by just reading the posts.
