PPC Wifi Sync problem

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

I've got a new user with a new HPAQ something another with PPC 2003SE,
WinXP, Active Sync 3.71 and we cannot seem to sync or connect via Wifi. Our
Wifi is up and running, web browsing and such works just fine however if we
try to sync it just errors out saying we have no dialup or vpn setup to
connect to the PC. I tried using Pocket Host as well just in case the PPC
couldn't resolve the PC's name to IP but that didn't help either.

ah the old netbios thing in XP, that might be the problem...

Think that was it, made the change to NetBios, rebooted and tada it started
working ...

I had forgot about having to do that in wireless networks 90% of the time.
