So the only firewall software on my laptop that I am aware of is Black Ice.
I've now set that service to DISABLEED, rebooted the laptop. That appears
to have help.

Now when I inititate a Synch from the iPaq, it appears that a connection of
some sort is made to the laptop, as ActiveSync on the laptop briefly
displays "Connecting...", but then soon returns to "Not Connected". And on
the iPaq, I no longer get "Communications Error". Also, items specified to
sync between the devices (Notes, Tasks, for now) are not yet synching.

So better, but apparently not quite there. I wonder if this is a
permissions issue at this point. How do the login credentials work between
the devices? (Or do you suppose I might have a different issue at this
point?)

Thanks much, again for your assistance.
