Cant Help, But I have a similar Problem, I would be VERY happy if someone could point me in the right Direction.....

All of a sudden, my Dell Axim x51v has stopped conneting to PC via ActiveSync (Works PC is using ActiveSync Ver 4.1.0 Build4841, Not sure what my home PC is using, but I'm assuming the same!)

Its been working fine since Feb. Then on the same day (20th Last month), it will no longer connect to EITHER PC (I first thought I'd screwed up a Firewall setting at home).

The PC's recognise the PDA is attached (Status goes from "Not Connected" to "Connecting") and I get the little "ding-a-ling" noise. But thats as far as it gets...."Connecting" but never "Connected"

This is all via a USB Cradle (Work) or a 3rd-party USB sync'n'charge cable at home.
OK, Just Upgraded to ActiveSync 4.2.0 (build 4876), Downloaded from MS tonight.

Still nothing.


Been through the MS Help, and been throught the Firewall settings for Norton/Windows.

Opened ActiveSync, and went
File>ConnectionSettings>Connect and then got the following report:

YOUR device was not detected

Verify that the connection you are using is available:

PORT STATUS
COM1 Not Available
COM2 Not Installed
COM4 Available
Infrared Port (IR) Not Installed
USB Connected

So its says Its NOT connected at the top, yet Says its connected Via USB WTF???

Anything else I can try??

Just gone into ControlPanel>Network Connections:

And under LAN or HIGH SPEED INTERNET, it Shoes Local Area Connection6; CONNECTED Windows Mobile-Based Device. :?: ActivSync still shows no connection.

I'm SO confused!
