RE: USB ports and ActiveSync v4.5

Hi Tom: I had a similar problem when trying to synch my HP Jornada handheld
PC. I found the problem being the firewall in WLOC. After I turned it off the
synch started ok.
Hoping it will do the same for you, Fred

I'm unable to synchronize from my Motorola Q9c via the USB cable provided
with it. I've also replaced the cable and I get the same results-no sync'g.
I took my phone into the local Sprint store which checked for any nuances on
the MotQ9c. Everything sync'd with them. When I use the USB 2.0 ports on
the laptop in the back the Motorola Q9c is recognized but it doesn't sync.
I've uninstalled and re-installed ActiveSyncv4.5 but no luck. The USB ports
that I've used are also used for a) external IDE 160GB drive (bottom USB
port) and b) external 750GB MaxtorOne drive for backups (top USB port) as
well as a Konica-Minolta 2430DL duplex color laser printer. [I've rebooted
just to have a sync cycle on the laptop but again the MotQ9c is recognized
but nothing syncs.] I have a 2port USB card that I've also attempted. This
also fails.
So, what can I do to get the Motorola Q9c to sync via ActiveSync? The issue
appears to be the laptop USB ports but I can't determine what to do. Advise
and suggestions appreciated.
TIA
