Hi :

I recently bought a new Dell Axim X51V PDA. I was a 'more or less' happy
user of Dell Axim X5, windows mobile 2002 & activesync 3.8, which few times
had some USB problems to synch, but normally worked OK.

Now, with the new PDA, I feel like a Beta tester, using a 'beta' version of
Windows Mobile 2005 with a beta Activesync 4.1 (or 4.2). I see miles of mails
in different world forums, too many people asking why are so many problems to
sync through USB, and why Microsoft decided to forget about synch through
Wireless wifi, a very fast and confortable method used for so many users. Why
Microsoft deleted the Schedule button just for Windows Mobile 2005 (it was
very useful with Windows Mobile 2002).

My panorama :

Two PC's (home and work) equipped with Windows XP, SP2 and the last updates,
Activesync 4.1 or 4.2 Beta, correct setup for firewall and antivirus,
ethernet services like share deleted.

Home PC -> impossible to sync through USB. I usually did through wireless
with my old Dell Axim X5... but now I can not because I have activesync 4.1
and can not use older versions because they don't work with Windows Mobile
2005... Microsoft just inform you about 'no wireless possible' in few lines
losted inside some big web page... So I had to buy a bluetooth-usb adapter.
Now I can sync my new Dell Axim X51V through Bluetooth-usb adapter. (no
wireless wifi, no USB dock station).

Work PC -> I use USB dockstation to sync. No problem with my old Dell Axim
X5, but very difficult with Dell Axim X51V.
One of every 25 tries (or more) will work. The other 24 tries it will be
impossible to sync, with different results.

Can you try uninstalling the firewall, and see if it connects OK.
