Re: ActiveSync 4.2 Neven Connects.

I am experiencing the exact same thing. I am running DEL XPS M1210 laptop.
Its weird cause I can connect this phone just fine on my Toshiba laptop. So
it has got to be something with my DELL and ActiveSync 4.2. I tried
updating to 4.5 as well and that did not work, actually gave me the blue
screen of death.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but I really don't think this is it.

I have tested connections to all of these ports and it is working just
fine. Plus the Windows Firewall is disabled and no alternative firewall is
in place.

Check out Chris DeHerrera's web site. There are lots of firewall and
proxy issues with ActiveSync 4.x...

I am having a problem with my Windows Mobile 5.0 device connecting to my
laptop via ActiveSync 4.2 The mobile devices gets a network connection
just fine, but ActiveSync never get's past the "connecting ...." stage.
I have un-installed and re-installed ActiveSync twice. I have even
removed the device from device manager. Also I verified that I could
connect to port 990 on my computer to rule out any firewall software
being the culprit.

NOTE: The last time a successful sync happend I was using a port
replicator. After removing the port replicator this started happening.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Derek
