Re: WMDC not syncing

Hi Steve. Thanks for your reply. I'm using version 6.1. I have tried
switching the device to serial several times...but to no avail.

I have enabled port 990 on the firewall (along with all other recommended
ports from the website you pointed me at - been there, very useful, but
didn't solve the problem.) It certainly looks like it is being blocked in
some way...WMDC says connecting, then stops and says 'not connected', but has
recognised my device is called Ben...so obviously had some sort of contact.
It just won't initiate the partnership set up. Also now getting a WcesComm
error 4 - even though it is only my phone plugged in to usb...(removed
everything in case of conflict.)

I am considering a hard reset of the device, followed by if necessary (but
not really wanting to) a reinstall of Vista. Would either of these be worth
doing or do you have any other ideas? It is quite frustrating!

Hello,

Can you tell me which version of WMDC you're using? The latest is 6.1.

Usually switching to serial will fix the problem. The rapimgr event 8 is
caused when we send a UDP packet to the device asking it to connect back on
port 990 and the device is blocked from doing so.

There's a lot of good information here that may help with troublshooting,
including the Firewall settings:

I have done lots of research but can't find a solution to this:

A UK Orange E650 (HTC S710). WMDC recognises a device attached but fails
to sync. Device not visible in computer or media player. Device is in
device manager.

Have tried switching to serial. Have reinstalled WMDC several times. In
event log when trying to connect it comes up as a Rapimgr error 8 (WMDC
received a connection from the device, but something failed during the
connection protocol.)

I have enabled suggested ports in the firewall....but the event log seems
to
suggest that Rapimgr is causing a problem with the connection. How can I
add
the rapimgr.dll to the firewall exceptions? Is it the likely cause of
stopping my phone syncing? The phone connected to XP and Activesync
straight
away with no problem...

Cheers,
