iPaq 2215 not adjusting for DST changes

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Surprisingly, mine did the Daylight - Standard time change automagically.

I had the clock set to GMT -5 Eastern US (different from GMT-5 Indiana or
GMT-5 Bogota, Lima).

Perhaps that is the defining characteristic...

hope we don't have to respond five times ;-)

One piece of information you did not post was what time zone you have
set on the ppc _and_ what time zone is set on the sync pc and is dst
checked there as well.

I have set my PC and my iPAQ 2210 to the time zone GMT+1.
The PC adjusted correctly but the iPAQ did not. There was a message on the
iPAQ screen saying that the time has been adjusted for DST but the time had
not changed at all. As soon as I synchronized with the PC the time was
corrected though.

They are all the same, just different sample city names within that time
zone.

The five GMT+1 time zone entries I can select from are:

GMT+1 Prague,Budapest
GMT+1 Warsaw,Sofia
GMT+1 Paris,Madrid
GMT+1 Berlin,Rome
GMT+1 W Cent Aftica

I had Paris,Madrid selected. Where do I find the information about how DST
is handled for those entries?

I don't see how that webpage will help. Please explain.
