Problem: Activesync with two wizards

[quartershade]

Hi All,

I have spent all day trying to fix this but havn't got anywhere, has anyone got any ideas?

Basicly, both my wife and I have a vario. I can sync mine fine, but when I come to plug in the other one activesync initialy ignores it then says its connecting but then gives up. Windows displays a network icon with an ! saying limited or no connectivity.

After a while the wizard says"Unable to obtain a server assigned ip address".

I tried.....
Reinstalling active sync (4.1) and putting my wife's phone in first
restarting phone (soft)
turning firewall off
tried my old c500, worked fine

....in many combinations, but no luck.

As i have synced other devices fine, it must be due to the fact that I have two wizards and AS or XP is getting its knickers in a twist.

I suppose it could be worse - it could be my phone that won't sync:)

I just tried the non-syncing vario at a friends house and it worked fine!

I feel a XP reinstall coming on (really don't want to do that)

Any ideas?

I don't think reinstalling XP is going to help. I have exactly the same problem. One will sync the other not and I get the IP error thing.

This only started recently after I had to hard reset my Wizard.

Last night I succesfuly synced over bluetooth with both devices but I still cant use USB with one of them.

I have the same. Can sync with IR but not USB.
