WM6 / Activesync 4.5 will not pair

[Kavafy]

Hi all,

Since re-installing activesync my PC will not pair with my PDA. The PDA connects as a guest and I can use activesync to install software and browse files, but I cannot sync!

I believe a sync wizard is supposed to open but this doesn't happen.

I really hope you can help as I currently have no calendar or contact data on the PDA.

Open AtiveSync with phone NOT connected, goto "File" and "remove portable device" (or similar, I've italian version, I don't know exacly string in english).

If there is an old configuration, in this way you'll remove it, then it must start the wizard... (I hope...)

Hi!
Thanks for the reply! There are no existing partnerships in Activesync, because it is a new installation!

I thought it was a re-install... You can try removing all drivers and ActiveSync and reinstalling all, it seems an istallation problem or a wrong ActiveSync version...
Try to download ActiveSync newly

If you have any kind of firewall software try to disable it...
Then, if activesync works, you have to set up new firewall rules...

Did any of these methods work? did you do something else to make it work??

This is how I got it working.....


go to settings/connections, open USB-PCand untick "the enable advanced network configuration"


if this does not work, and if your trying to sync to an outlook server then in settings/connection, choose connections, chose advanced tab, select networks, then ensure both have chosen the same network ( ie my Work Network). On the chosen network chose edit, and you should see a Proxy Setting tab.. Choose this and ensure the only top box is ticked ( this network connects.....)


worked for me... dunno why?

yeah try xda-boj's one it should work fine
start\settings\connections\usb to pc and uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'

Thanks for the suggestions. I know I wasn't clear in my earlier posts, so:

- I had Activesync 4.5 installed, and it worked.

- Then file transfer from the PDA to the PC stopped working (the files appeared to transfer, but did not appear on the PC)

- So, I uninstalled Activesync 4.5, downloaded it again, and reinstalled it.

- After the re-install, Activesync would not create a partnership with my PDA running WM6.

- The partnership wizard does not start!

- I don't get any error message; in fact nothing happens, except that the PDA connects as a "guest", so I am able to browse files and install software but not actually sync.

- I have tried: disabling Windows Firewall; disabling Avast! anti-virus; checking that all connection protocols are enabled in the "network connections" control panel; re-installing Activesync again; and finally I got the same error on another PC.

- I haven't yet tried unchecking the "Enable advanced network functionality" box - I'll try that as soon as I get home tonight.

Beyond uninstalling Activesync, is there anything else I should be doing to start with a clean system?

Thanks again,

I have the same problem.
You can try reinstall the active sync app (repair option) and then reconnect and uncheck "the enable advanced network configuration".
I am doing this evey time :(

I've tried unchecking "Enable advanced network functionality", but that doesn't solve it!

start->settins->USD to PC-> Enable advanced network functionality

Oh, OK. I'd already done that! Keep coming in with suggestions though!
