Mobility Site - View Single Post - Synchronize via Wi-Fi Gone????

gadgetnerd · 05-12-06, 07:52 PM

First, I would like to say that I have not visited this forum in about as long as I have not synchronized my X5 (yes, X5) with my computer, which is about 8 months. I have not been able to sync via USB for almost 2 years due to broken/bent/missing pins on both the Ax's connector and the cable itself. About the same time we got our wireless network at home, a bit over 2 years ago, I started using Wi-fi to regularly sync my Axim with my laptop, because it was easier and faster - remember, only USB 1.1. So anyway, a couple days ago, I decided to sync again. I donwloaded AS4.1 (and was suprised to note, I might add, that the non-beta version number had only increased by 0.3 in about 8 months) and installed it. I then created a partnership using IR, which is how I did it even when the USB cable worked. After that, I disconnected my Axim, and tried to sync via Wi-fi. After about 15 seconds I got the message on my Axim saying it could not establish a connection. I looked to see that the remote-syncing computer was the correct one. I then looked under ActiveSync's settings where I remembered in v3.8 there were settings for synchronizing remotely. But they were not to be found. Anyone have any advice/help/sympathy to offer?

P.S. I am going to order an X51v in about 20 minutes.
