This is a security feature. If the Admin web page has not been accessed for some time the router disables the access completely. Router does still work, ping is OK, WLAN and WWAN connections are working, you just can not access the admin web page.
As I am running a Linux server I decided to make a hourly cron job that simply accesses the router admion web page every hour. So I can access the admin web all time without the need to cycle it’s power 🙁
I added a cron.hourly bash script to access the admin page every hour:
#!/bin/sh
wget -O - -q -t 1 --user=<adminusername> --password=<yourpassword> http://<yourrouterip>
Replace the user name, password entry and ip with the ones of your router and copy that bash shell script to /etc/cron.hourly. Don’t forget to make it executable (chmod a+x ).
Update: although the above is running the web admin page could not be reached after some days. Odd security mechanism 🙁

Question: How can one hide/show the start icon in taskbar of Windows Mobile 6.1 (and before)?
Answer: Use the API provided by Microsoft for this: SHFullScreen! No need to use FindWindow and subclass, very simple use.
Ah, remeber that this will NOT work on Windows Enbedded Handheld 6.5.3 or Windows Mobile 6.5.3 or whatever you call it. The API will simply not do it’s work.
Here is a C# example for SHFullScreen usage.

For whatever reason MS decided to make Windows 2012 RDS (former Terminal Services, now Remote Desktop Services) not compatible with Windows Mobile 6.x and other Windows CE 5.0 based handheld devices.
Fortunately, if you activated Remote Desktop License Server using ‘Web Browser’ method, you simply have to change the Collections Security settings and disable ‘Allow only … Network Level Authentication’ (NLA).
The following can also apply for Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server. Check if you activate the Licensing server via “Web Browser” connection or directly. My 2008 R2 server is running OK for Windows Mobile, as a stand-alone server, with 100 licenses and activated via “Web Browser”.
But let start at the beginning.
