How's it accessing the internet when connected via USB? Rob Nicholson 08-31-2007

 Windows Mobile 6 device currently plugged into my PC at home via USB.
Wireless is off and GPRS isn't configured but the device can quite happily
connect to the internet, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk. How is this working? Has the
phone got it's own IP address from my DHCP server or is it doing some form
of internet sharing via ActiveSync?

Thanks, Rob.

It's a form of internet sharing via Activesync.

And it is called Activesync Passthrough. I think you'll a lot more
info about it in AS Help or on the web.
