hello dear ce coders, im having some troubles with win ce .net 4.2 internet services. mainly three problems occur again and again: 1) 'random' dhcp error when using wlan 2) wlan connection, sometimes dial-up gprs too is blocked after some problem occured (broken transfer, suddenly out-of-reach access point...) 3) undefined or at least not transparent timeouts any hints on how to 1) avoid the dhcp problem or at least avoid the corresponding dialog to be shown 2) do some kind of reset with wininet without actually performing a device-reset 3) set/change internal timeouts e.g. for ftp file transfers are very welcome! thank you in advance, patrick ---- ragingbender@web.de

hello mr.jong, thank you for your reply! i am actually developing for windows ce (.net 4.2) devices, not for windows mobile / embedded devices. my questions should be placed correctly, because there is no specific message board for windows ce development and this message boards' description says it should be used for mobile, embedded and ce development?! greetings from berlin, patrick

hello again, i also realized that on my system (win ce.net 4.2 prototype board), the wininet methods 'InternetGetConnectedState'/'InternetGetConnectedStateEx' are implemented, but do not behave like expected. the returned dword value is always the same (18), regardless of the system currently being connected or not. the string value returned by the Ex-method is always empty. is this behaviour normal? how is it possible to find out if the system is currently connected via (w)lan or gprs, or not at all? thank you in advance, greetings from berlin, patrick

hello dear ce coderz, i have some questions regarding internet connectivity on windows ce (.net 4.2) devices. 1) wininet some important wininet methods, e.g. InternetDial InternetHangup InternetAutodial InternetAutodialHangup seem to be non-existent in many sdks (no implementation in wininet.lib), even the pocket pc 2003 sdk. ms/msdn says these are standard-wininet methods. what is going on? is it possible to initiate auto-dial and get a valid handle for wininet methods (e.g. those for ftp sessions) without these methods? 2) 'connectoids' how is it possible to either - copy an existing dial-up connectoid to another win ce device (identical os version) - or change a connectoid's settings (dial-string, ip/dns settings etc.) automatically from a c++ program? i did not find any connectoid settings in the registry (only the connectoid name) and i was not able to identify files which represent connectoids. any hints regarding these subjects are very welcome!! :) thank you in advance, patrick
