Wifi synchronization from a Windows Mobile 5 PDA not working

[fmodola]

Hi all,

I tried to synchronize my Orange SPV M3100 (HTC) running Windows Mobile 5, via ActiveSync on a wifi connection, but it doesn't seem to be working. I think that if I have a network connection, there may be no problem to synchronize with Zimbra (I tested via GPRS and UMTS, and it worked fine), but I can't actually synchronize from wifi ... what's wrong ?
Is the wifi connection causing problem while syncing ?

Thanks

What are your settings? Do you have any errors in the log?

Franck, the problem lies in the Orange firmware that forbids WiFi ActiveSync (to make sure you spend money on their GPRS-EDGE-3G network).

We made a test with a HTC (with "HTC" firmware, not locked down for one specific operator) and we were able to sync with WiFi without any specific parameter.

Problem is definitely the Orange firmware.
