Hey, i had the same problem for quite awhile and i somehow resolved it, so i'll try to remember what i did. For now, start by disabling your Firewall in your antivirus. If you have Symantec Norton product, go to their support and search for Active Sync--they have a tutorial on opening a special port through your firewall. I just remmeber that it wasnt enough to disable the firewall, you have to also open a separate port and create certain firewall rules.
Also, disable your Axim Bluetooth and your BT program on your desktop--mine wouldn't let me go both ways...its' either BT or USB AS
I'll try to recall the rest of the process and post. Let me know if this works.

Work:
Cradle - Cannot connect
Active Sync - 4.0 and 4.2 have the same problem
I have deleted drivers, network adaptors, active sync

Both:
Computer detects the Axim in the cradle, but will not sync. When I turn the Axim off in the cradle AS stops trying to sync.

I am running out of ideas:bang: Since this problem seems to follow the Axim I am wondering if it has to do with programs I have installed. I am currently running ROM A06.

Programs still installed:
Valentin Iliescu Chess
Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0
Microsoft Reader
Jonathan Sachs StopTime
[Vieka] vBar
Dell Axim Self Diagnostic
CodeCity CityTime
Astraware Bejeweled 2

Programs removed today:
MemMaid
and some others that I am having trouble remembering now


This is the first time I have ever posted to this site. It has always been a good reference for problems that I was having, but this is the first time I have not been able to make it work. This problem is taking over my life. I don't think I have really done any real work for about two days!
