Problems with iPaq3630-mSync-ActiveSync3.5-Win2k

Question

Hello, please I have a problem and I think you can help me..
I have an iPaq 3630 with Pocket PC 2000 and Oracle 9i Lite Client. In my PC Windows 2000, ActiveSync 3.5 ,Oracle 9i Lite and Oracle 8i Server.
I have problems syncronizing.. mSync always reports the error -9025 (when I attempt to syncronize with Activesync) and if I run mSync from the handheld it says -9001 HTTP cannot find host error.
I am also unable to navigate in Internet from the handheld using the internet connection in my PC.
Please help me to get the msync and the internet connection working.
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Two questions
A. Why do u think we should add stuff to the CLASSPATH?
B. What is the need for the PATH variable?
It is important to understand what we are trying to do everytime we alter these two variables.
Question --Why should we alter PATH?
Answer :(Atleast what i think) Say u wrote a java program. U saved it. and now u are ready to compile. You type
javac Helloworld.java
how does the computer know where the batch file "javac" is stored. To direct the computer to the location of "javac" we add c:\jdk1.3\bin to the PATH variable. That means everytime u type "javac" to compile your java program the computer goes to the "bin" directory and locates the "javac" utility and is glad it found it..instead of saying" bad command or file name".
Question--why should i add JAR files to my CLASSPATH?
Answer:
Lets say u typed
javac Helloworld.java yet again. When the computer executes the "javac" utility it looks for the CLASSPATH variable in your autoexec.bat file or your environment settings. I am writing a sample CLASSPATH below
set CLASSPATH =.;C:\jdk1.3\bin;C:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar
Notice the "." in the beginning. The importance of the "." is to tell "javac" to look for "Helloworld.java" in your current directory ..the directory from which u called "javac" is your current directory. Now javac starts looking,it finds" Helloworld.java" in your current directory. It starts reading it.....it encounters an import....it goes back to the CLASSPATH..searches for the import file.....it finds it again in one of the JAR files u have added to your CLASSPATH and "javac" is happy ,having found all the classes it needed and compiles happily.
I hope that made sense.
