16 | APPENDIX C: TROUBLESHOOTING 

SYMPTOM: 

• 

ActiveSync shows no network connection. 

 

POSSIBLE REASONS 

SOLUTION 

Your Windows CE-based mobile 
computer is using DHCP, but it 
cannot access any IP addresses. 
This may be because your mobile 
computer has problems 
communicating with your 
network’s DHCP server, or 
because your DHCP server is not 
available. 
 

Try removing the 10/100 Ethernet 
CF Card and reinserting it. If 
ActiveSync still shows no network 
connection, wait for a few minutes. 
If you see the message “Unable to 
contact DHCP server, using cached 
information,” the 10/100 Ethernet 
CF Card is probably working 
properly. If after a few minutes, the 
problem persists, ask your network 
administrator to verify that the 
DHCP server is working properly. 
 

Your auto-launch program starts 
too fast, and your mobile computer 
does not have enough time to 
connect to your network. 

Increase the 

second delay before 

launch

 setting in the 

Auto-Launch

 

tab of the 10/100 Ethernet CF Card 
Applet. If you have to set the delay 
to longer than 20 seconds, you 
should consult your network 
administrator. 
 

You have a static IP address, and 
ActiveSync… 

Enter the IP address of the host 
computer in the 

Primary WINS:

 

field in order to use ActiveSync.
