Hi All,
I'm trying to connect a Palm(IIIxe) device to the PC using its serial port
and do a ping operation. My current settings on Palm:
Service: Windows RAS
Username: My PC username
Password: assinged
Connection: Direct Serial
and in the Details Menu  Connection Type: SLIP Query DNS: none( have no
DNS )
IP address: assigned
On my desktop I am running Win RAS using the same com port connected with
the palm.
But I am not able to ping the Palm from the PC. But the strange thing is
that when I press   "connect"  button on palm I get the dialog box which
says "Established" and the button turns to "disconnect"( surprisingly it
happens everytime whether cable is connected or not).
If I do a ping from my PC, the request always fails.
WIth SLIP connection type, the connection is established even if the Windows
RAS is not running on the COM port.
So I am not sure what is going worng with the connection/ settings. Is it
possible to connect palm with a PC using serial port and if yes, what are
the tips to do that.

Thanks

Vikas
