SYMPTOMS

When you install a third-party communication or networking program, you may be unable to connect your Handheld PC (H/PC) to your desktop computer using Dial-Up Networking.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the communication or networking program installs its own Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, remove the third-party software that includes the TCP/IP stack. For information about how to accomplish this task, consult the documentation provided with the communication or networking program or contact the manufacturer of the program.
