Does anyone know what I should do?

You may already be set, it depends on whether you already are aware of
the following points or not.

Point 1 - They can't see *each other* - while the PDA should be able
to browse shared folders on the PC, the PC cannot see the PDA. That's
by design.

I'm not too sure you're totally right on that : If you have ActiveSync
3.8 (rather than one of the crippled version 4 AS) then once you're
synced over wifi to the PC, you can browse the file structure on the
PDA from the Mobile Device folder in windows explorer.

I'm guessing that an XDA can still be usefully worked with using AS3.8
of course, but I can't think of any reason why AS4 would be *required*

AS4 is a horrible piece of software. There's no easy way I've found to
stop it, removing installed programs only seems to work using the OK
button not the Remove button and it kills my wifi connection. Wonder
if 4.2 beta's worth a try???
