Re: Trying to connect with HP IPAQ hx2795



I think the firewall (Zone Labs) *should* be open - instead of opening
ports, I put the network into the Trusted zone. The settings there are to
exclude, rather than include, ports. But I still have the same results (or
lack thereof).

USBView does show the device, and I've set the network connection to show
itself - which it does, as connected at 10Mbps.

wcesmgr.log apparently only updates when ActiveSync closes. The previous
entry was:

**** ActiveSync (4.1.4841 RETAIL) started, Cmd line: '/show'
