Hi Laurence,

I have been using ZoneAlarm Pro. Have installed the free version to check
out this problem and I have been able to sync successfully. I need a bit
of information from your end to see if we can resolve this -

Open ZoneAlarm, click Firewall and then the Zones tab ***. Do you see
an entry for Windows Mobile device here?

I had not seen that page, thanks. It helped a little but still no luck
synchronizing.

I have free ZoneAlarm and the page seems to be describing a more fully
featured version (ZA pro?), so many of the steps I was not able to
perform. The only thing I could do in addition to what I described in my
first msg was to add CEAPPMGR.exe to the list of programs and give it
full permissions. This allowed the process to get a bit further - now
gets to Synchronizing, but it does not actually synchronize.

In free ZoneAlarm I cannot set the Trust Level per program and I cannot
add the protocol rule under Firewall>Expert Rules. The only thing I can
do under Firewall is add a Site/IP Range/IP address/Subnet to the
Internet or Trusted zones.

Does anyone know what to do to configure free ZoneAlarm?

I have ZoneAlarm 6.1 and ActiveSync 4.1 for syncing my Mobile 5.0 phone
over USB.

If ZA is running, when I plug in my phone AS goes into "Connecting" mode
but never gets past that stage.
If I shut down ZA, unplug the phone and try again, AS connects and
synchronizes perfectly.

The strange thing is, I have given full permission (Trusted and Internet
under both Access and Server) to ActiveSync Application (WCESMgr.exe),
ActiveSync Connection Manager (WCESCOMM.exe) and ActiveSync RAPI Manager
(RAPIMGR.exe)

What can I do to use ActiveSync with ZoneAlarm?
Thanks
