WARNING: Intel Net cards and WM5

Hi folks,

We recently purchased 3 Dell X51's running Windows Mobile Ver5. The usual
problem of syncing using 4.1 appeared (the green circle rotating and that's
it). After checking with Dell support, I was informed to let 4 files through
the firewall and it'll be ok. Snag is, we have a corporate firewall held on
a central server, not any local firewalls. I informed out IT support and we
found another team with new HP PDA's having the same problem. It appears to
be an incompatibility between Intel chip Network cards and Windows Mob Ver5,
as Ver5 uses TCP/IP to connect. I have since been trying to find if
Microsoft is working on a solution but to no avail.

Anyone who has the syncing issue should check id they are using an Intel
'powered' network card.

What I really want to know is if Microsoft is doing anything about this as
we have over £1000 of equipement sitting here next to useless.

Regards

Rich Millyard
