Re: Activesync is Acting Weird

I verified this in activesync on the AX. it tells me the last time it synced (usually within the past min or 2), and the stop sync is grayed out and unclickable. Although on my laptop I still have the green activesync circle spinning in the system tray. I double click it and it shows the status window with the green circle spinning and says "conecting..." I do not know what it is trying to connect to? I am thinking the internet but I don't really know. So now I go into activesync on the Ax again and click "sync". I get an error window stating ""trouble connecting, unable to connect with current settings." Also on my laptop when I try CTRL+ALT+DEL activesync is not showing up in the running programs list eventhough it is showing activity in my system tray. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Check your firewall. Those symptoms are consistent with a firewall blocking the TCP/IP from the Ax to the PC. Activesync uses TCP/IP for communications, and if the firewall is set too tight it will prevent those connections because it thinks the Axim is trying to get out to the Internet.
