I have used PocketControllerPro for a couple of years now… three different PDAs. It has been great!

Now, I bought a Treo 700w and connect it to my computer through Bluetooth.
I am having a problem with connecting PocketControllerPro Ver5.04 build 748, to my Treo 700w.

I get this in Pocket Controller:
Please Wait….
Connecting using LAN/WAN…..
Connecting to 169.254.2.1…..

Then I get a message pop-up….
“Time out connecting to host 169.254.2.1 for connection ActiveSync(USB)”

Is there an issue with trying to connect through Bluetooth? Is there fix for this?

Please help!
Thanks

No one using PocketController on their 700w?
Or the ones who are... no problems?
hmmmmm.....


Thanks

I believe it is another firewall issue, since the connection is IP based. I use Pocket Controller, but haven't had any problems. I do think that you need to switch to "Standard Mode" during setup to connect. The "Auto-Sensing" mode doesn't work since AS 4.x is different.

Only use it via AS with my K-JAM. But there is a later version that you might try. 5.05 build 833.

THANKS ALL!!!!!!

SOTI Tech support finally answered my issue...

They are sending me a link for their beta version that takes care of the BlueTooth issues (supposedly).

I will post my results.

THANKS

Well... That was it!!

Actaully I tried the 5.06 version they sent me... it worked... but it wouldn't take my code. They wanted me to pay some money... naw)

So I downloaded the 5.05 build 833. It works with BT also.

Everyone was right.... the newer versions fails the first time... but then asks if you want to open a connection through the firewall... I said yes and badda-bing... were in!

Thanks again all....
