2125 ActiveSync Internet Pass Through

I was trying to use ActiveSync as a pass through to my laptop's internet connection so that I could debug a HttpWebRequest problem while tethered to VS2005. However, I couldn't even get PIE (Pocket IE) to use the ActiveSync connection much less my app--well, now I'm at least half way there. I can browse the web using PocketIE and ActiveSync as my internet connection.

1) Open ActiveSync on your computer, select File->Connection Settings. In the ComboBox below "This computer is connected to:" make sure "The Internet" is selected.

2) In PIE, select Tools->Options->Connections. Then, select "The Internet" as your network.

Now, I'm going to see if my own app can do this.
