Note: in case you have a firewall installed on the computer, you will need to change Activesync rules in firewall settings to allow connections to all IP addresses to default 169.254.2.2 address.
Pay attention that your PPC is setup as MY ISP/Work in CONNECTION settings.
They are quoting someone named Jaap Van Ekris, a Microsoft MVP from Holland. Try it out and let us know if you have any success with this.
If it works it would go a good way to clean up that "pig in a poke" feel that many early adopters got from the WM5 OS.

I can get the IPAQ rx1955 WM5 to connect to the Compaq XPS2 but when I ping either side they don't respond. I followed instructions as shown. Any further ideas?
