activesync 4.1 problems

[LuXx]

I have a siemens sx66 .When i had 2003 on my phone activesync 4.1 was great. Now that i have wm5 it is so hard to geat them to connect. It will not sync anything. When i have my phone in the cradle activesync on my computer says not connected and the phone says connected. Is there a patch or fix for this problem? Thanks LuXx

Finally got it to work. I had to turn off my zone alarm fire wall when i made the first connection. Now i can turn on the zone alarm and install programs and copy files to and from ppc. If i need to sync contacts then i have to turn off my fire wall. I've tried messing with the settings in zone alarm but nothing i do works on syncing with my fire wall on. Hope this can help someone.Thanx

I have the same problem. But I have no firewall installen on my PC. My XP SP2 firewall is disabled.

I have tried uninstalling, and installing Active Sync 4.1 but still the same. No syncing occurs, ActiveSync says not connected while mye Blueangel says connected.

Strange thing is, that if I connect over IR I can sync my phone. Just not with USB. I have both a cradle and a loose cable and none of them work.

Beside the firewall, check your network interface. ActiveSync 4.x will create a virtual network interface when a WM5 device is connected via USB. Check all the items (Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printing Sharing..., and TCP/IP) of the virtual NIC.

Hi All,

After all the common problems that you describe did any of you look in Wiki..?

Here's what's pasted about WM5 and Active Sync:


Desktop and Acivesync 4.X

I can't sync my WM5 device now that I have upgraded.

This seems to be the case with some users and not with others.
One user reports that it works on his laptop but not on his desktop.
Firewalls are a known problem (PC-Cillin 12).

Otherwise you need to search the forums.

It seems that in some configurations Activesync does not sync some data with your Desktop PC.

Data that could be affected
Contacts
Calendar
E-mail
Tasks

Files, Notes and Favorites can sync OK. ?AvantGO Connect could sync OK. In such case check you have an Exchange connection on your desktop Outlook application. If that's the case, you should sync your device having a live Exchange connection first. After that, you should synchronize "offline" (i.e. without Exchange connection) without problems.


Alternatively, this might give you the answers..

I don't know everyones situation. But I have Mcafee Personal Firewall.
I have sx66 and have upgraded to WM5 and having no problems as of yet. However I could no sync at all. I found this if anyone has problems syncing.
