ActiveSync problems...

[V J]

Hello,

I'm having the worst of times connecting my HTC TyTN with my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens P1510, widcomm 3.x bluetooth stack) using ActiveSync over bluetooth. On the PC, I have Nokia PC Suite 6.x installed, but it is no longer launching at startup.

I tried following the instructions (set up a bluetooth serial port, have ActiveSync listen on this port). But the problem is first: ActiveSync starts scanning ports (even though I gave it the correct one), and second: the TyTN says there is no BT device listening for ActiveSync.

In Advanced Configuration of the Widcomm software, I have
Local Services:
ActiveSync (Com 4, enabled on startup, security enabled)
Serial Port (com5, enabled on startup, security enabled)
(a bunch of additional services)
Client Applications:
Serial Port (com8, enabled on startup, security enabled)
(a bunch of additional services from my Nokia mobile)

Any suggestions?
(ActiveSync was set as exeption on my firewall by the installer; I'm using the Windows Firewall)
(I was using ActiveSync 4.1, but am downloading 4.2 now...)

Thanks!

Not sure how, but I solved it. For reference, here is what I did:

1. update the widcomm drivers (in Windows), just to be sure to have the correct ones
2. removed the "ActiveSync on COM4" in the Local Services of the Widcomm stack on the PC
3. added a serial port (COM4) in the Local Service of the Widcomm stack on the PC.

Now, when the WM5 device connects via bluetooth, the Widcomm icon displays that it is connected to the serial port service, after which the ActiveSync sees it to (and says the device is connected).
