I don't want to connect..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

If I use the Asus Mypal 620BT (Windows mobile 2003) *via* my docking
station *or* connected via my GPS module in the car, I get regularly pop
ups in my window with the content Unable to connect; You have no modem
entries created, and no network present.

I can't find yet the reason which application want to have a
connection... I suspect ActiveSync but every option leads to regular
pop-ups in my window with "Unable to connect".

Any suggestions?

I understand that, but every ~10/12 minutes I get a pop-up window with
the message "Unable to connect" *if* I *wired* my PPC, via the PPC
cradle connector, to my *GPS* module. I can't discover in Inbox or
ActiveSync on my PPC that configure possibly the sync automatically.

If the PPC is connected via the cradle and the ActiveSync stopped
manually, then I get the same pop-up window. Usually you don't stop the
ActiveSync when you use the PPC via the cradle ;-)

During driving my car with the navigation software it's very annoying to
get the regular pop-up on my PPC, which is the main reason to solve this
problem.

I think I have found a workaround. In ActiveSync Tools -> Options ->
Advanced I clear the box "Enable PC sync using this connection": USB
(When cradled). Since then, I get no pop-ups when I use my GPS module.
