Packet sending problem while PCC in cradle

Hi,

I am using PPC 2003 and ActiveSync 3.8. When i tried to send udp
pakcets while PPC in cradle, i was not able to send them even though i
was connected to WiFi router with NIC on my PDA2. I sniffed the packet
but no packet is captured. When I tried to send the packet after
changing the metric value(from 1 to 31) of Async in route table, i was
able to send the packet but then Active Sync stopped working. Is there
any way using that i can send the udp packet at the same time async
remain connected and working.

Thanks & Regards

I do not think UDP applications can work through Activesync.

Hi,

ActiveSync tunnels TCP/IP. I don't think it handles UDP. For UDP you need
a conventional network connection, I suspect.

At any rate, I suspect the answer is no. I'd bet that ActiveSync is in
charge, and that it isn't designed for this situation.

Hi,

Actually i want the application to send UDP packets using the WLAN
interface. But as the device in cradle the Metric value of cradle is
lower. This makes the packets to choose the cradle interface though i
bind socket wiht the IP of WLAN interface. So is there any way to send
the packet using WLAN interface when device is in cradle.

Thanks
Rajat

Hi Dick,

I bind the socket with the interface of WLAN NIC <I have the
conventional network connection using WiFi NIC>. But still the UDP
packets are taking the path of cradle interface as its Metric value is
lower. This is the actual problem i m facing.


Thanks
Rajat

Sorry, I have no further thoughts.
