ActiveSync doesn't come up on PC using RNDIS

[se...@rlc.com]

I want to use my USB client connection as a RNDIS connection to my PC
instead of a serial connection. I have added the correct components
and set up the host drivers on my PC (running XP SP2), yet ActiveSync
doesn't recognize the connection. My CE device (5.0 on pxa270) gets an
IP address on this connection and I'm able to ping other computers on
my network, but I can't figure out why ActiveSync doesn't come up on my
PC... do I need to make registry changes on my CE device or change
something on my PC? Right now the LAN2 connection (direct connection
with my CE device) says it has "limited or no connectivity" and causes
my PC to hang a bit... any ideas? Thanks.

I am NOT able to ping other computers on the network, I was wrong about
that.

First of all, if you havn't allready, you need to install the latest
QFE:s (atleast up and until 2004) since there has been a number of
issues with the pxa27x usb function driver.

About the ip-address and network access: I'm guessing your device is
assigning itself a APIPA address (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254)?
You'll need to bridge the rndis lan connection with your main lan
connection so the device can access the LAN adn the DHCP server. You
might also want to check how your windows firewall is setup on your
workstation.

About ActiveSync: It uses a serial connection over usb with a bunch of
PPP stuff on top as default (and I don't think you can change that?).
When enabling RNDIS on your device, you've basically disabled the usb
serial function, hence no ActiveSync.
