Big ActiveSync Problem

[nathan32]

Hi!
I just got a mda compact (my first ppc) and tried to get it run with activesync. but my pc just wont find the ppc. i deactivated all firewalls, etc. but that didnt help. i also did some resets on both pc and ppc, but it didnt help either. what am i doing wrong?? do i have to run activesync on my mdac when trying to connect?
it is bizarre, but the ppc-led is turning orange when plugging the usb-cable... is it possible, that activesync needs a special network-link to the ppc? my one and only network connection is the one to my internet router...
i also tried older activesync versions, but that doesnt help....

has anyone an idea?? i would warmly welcome one....... need help!

greetings
nathan

I'd try the 4.5 beta I find this better than the current release. Install the SW with the phone disconnected and connect when prompted.

Soft reset the phone before you start.


When the phone is first connected windows should detect it as new hardware and install drivers

I prefer to avoid beta versions. Check under Connection Settings and make sure that Allow USB connections is checked.

its on the properties/settings of your activesync on your computer...
