SYMPTOMS
You apply the software update in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 911711 to Microsoft Platform Builder 5.0. After you apply the software update, a Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 image cannot connect over an Ethernet connection to a remote PC partnership by using ActiveSync.



CAUSE
The software update in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 911711 added code to the ActiveSync client, Repllog.exe, to detect if a previous direct connect session ended abnormally. The code should call the WSAStartup function. However, the code did not generate an error when a direct serial connection to the host was used.
