Mobility Site - View Single Post - Can't explore with Activesync

Hi everyone

When I try to explore my pocket PC with activesync, it fails & I have the following message "Failed to start Remote Service, try resetting ......" or similar (translation from the French error message). All other functions work perfectly : backup/restore, sync with outlook, upgrade from PPC2002 to PPC 2003 and vice versa ...

I'm using AS 3.7.1, I have WinXP pro on my PC & PPC2003 on my PPC (Dell Axim5). I'm using the WinXP Firewall

I've read a lot on this subject without finding the solution so far. Since I use the XP firewall I have open 990, 999, 5678 & 5679 TCP/IP ports (AS would need that ?) but it does not work. I switched off the firewall but it still does not work. I've done soft/hard resets of the PPC, install/uninstall AS, used AS 3.7 ... it does not work !!

Any hint please ? If not, is there an alternative software to drag & drop files between PC & PPC (with the relevant conversion) ?

Many thanks in advance for your help
