To Synchronize from a Remote Location
You can also synchronize by dialing in to your desktop computer or connecting
over a network. This can be useful if you need to synchronize files or PIM
information while traveling. Before you leave, you must configure both your
Pocket PC and your desktop computer.
On your Pocket PC, you need to create a partnership between your Pocket PC
and the desktop computer using one of the direct connection methods (USB
cable or infrared connection). You must also configure a connection on your
Pocket PC as described in section 7.4.
On your desktop computer, you need to ensure the following:
The desktop computer or network server is configured to allow your Pocket
PC to connect. Depending on the version of Windows running on the
desktop computer, you may need to install and configure Remote Access
Services or Dial-Up Networking on the desktop computer.
ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. For more
information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
If you are using a modem on your desktop computer, turn the modem on
before you leave.
Leave your desktop computer on and be sure you logged on under the same
user name that you used when you created the partnership.
Your PIM program and email program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft
Exchange) should be running correctly.
