Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
You must install Microsoft ActiveSync on your host PC to enable
synchronization with your MobilePro. The Microsoft ActiveSync CD that
ships with your MobilePro contains the ActiveSync software designed for
synchronization with Microsoft Office components. The following
procedure assumes Microsoft Outlook as the host PC synchronization
component.
Network Requirements
If your host PC is connected to a network, configure one of the following
before installing Microsoft ActiveSync:
! Configure a WINS server on the host PC's network, or,
! Configure the host PC's IP address on the MobilePro as follows:
1.
Tap Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double tap the network
icon.
2.
Highlight NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver and select the
Properties button.
3.
In the IP address tab, select (place a dot beside) “Obtain an IP
address via DCHP.”
4.
Select the Name Servers tab and enter the host PC's IP address in
the “Primary WINS” field.
To identify the host PC's IP address, run an IP config utility. In
Windows 95, 98, and 2000, run Win IP Config. In Windows NT,
run IP Config. If you need assistance, see your network
administrator.
