Active_sync_doesn’t_recognize_mo

I have more than one windows mobile device. But Active Sync only allows me
to connect with one at a time. I have to unplug one before pluging in the
next. This makes transfering data between the devices annoying.

You are correct, in your assessment of the behavior. MS obviously does not
want you to own more than 1 WM device. Or if you do, you should have more
than one Windows PC to sync them with, both connected to an Exchange server
to keep your data sync'd.

Hi,
This is by design. ActiveSync was setup so that the device sends the IP
address to the PC via DHCP. As part of this process two mobile devices
would be using the same IP address.
