I have a new-to-me X51V and have been beating my head against the wall trying to get it to sync. At work, with the corporate firewall not on my machine, no problem. At home, with the free ZA, there was a problem. I had followed all of the steps to allow the various programs and changed the WM based-device to Trusted under Firewall->Zones.
I saw a different suggestion that WM now adds itself as another network adapter (like an ethernet card). They suggested that you should make sure that TCP/IP was allowed, which it was, but it still wasn't working
BUT, here's the kicker...when I looked a little closer, I saw that the WM adapter was also using the Windows firewall, on top of ZA. I disabled the Windows firewall, just using ZA and BING!...works fine. Just a tip that may solve a headache or two for someone else.
