:(
Hopefully someone can pls pls help me my MDA compact 2 its driving me nuts!

Basically the darn thing wont sync with my laptop, Ive followed the instructions correctly, ive disabled my mcAfee Firewall therefore when I connect it it looks like its going well the tool bar in Microsoft ActiveSync says that its connecting.......

But thats it.

It goes on for ages, Ive made sure that on the compact in the ActiveSync program the connection is allowed to all PC's. I went to the Modem link and made sure that the USB connection's status was active but this stopped the connection.

I'm not on the net, is that why??

Please someone help me! :? Im so confuzled!
Thanks!

You say you are trying to sync on a laptop.... is this a laptop that you use for work with a VPN client on it?

You describe the problems that I had... after a while I found that the AT&T VPN client that I used has a firewall that it turns on by default even if you are not connected via the client. I believe the cisco client is the same.

I hope this helps you.
