first of all, running "ipconfig /all" on my pc gives (section in

C:\Users\Moe ASCIIker>ipconfig /all

it clearly shows that the PHONE assigned the PC an ip address of "169.254.2.2". look further down and you can see that this PC interface is served by a DHCP server having an ip address of "169.254.2.1". so i tried to ping that ip address, because "169.254.2.1" is clearly not my PC's address.

C:\Users\Moe ASCIIker>ping 169.254.2.1

reply received! so then i opened up dotfred's task manager to confirm my theory. the ipconfig tab under dotfred's task manager clearly shows that the activesync connection is running under "169.254.2.1" assigned to the PHONE.

summary: no need to use dotfred's task manager on your phone. run "ipconfig /all" on your PC with sufficient privileges and note the DHCP server associated with your windows mobile connection interface. THAT DHCP server address is your phone's IP address.

m3ph: i understand why one would think that the PC is the server under an activesync partnership. after all, the PC's internet is shared to the phone in such a partnership, making us think that the PC is the server. however, the clue that gives rise to the concept that the PHONE is the server is the fact that the "repllog.exe" process (activesync) runs on the PHONE and it is in fact the critical data store whose items need to be synchronized under multiple partnerships. "one server, many clients" kind of deal.
