Jeepfaned,
If you use a firewall, shut it down and try again. Open the Active Sync window on your PC first so you can say what it does there.
With the Ax connected, right click on My Computer, select Properties, Hardware, Device Manager.
Probably down at the bottom of the list that opens should be "Windows CE USB Devices", and clicking on the "+" will expand it to show "Dell Axim USB Sync".
If the driver shown there has a warning sign, or is not there at all, you either have a bad USB connection, or the driver is missing or invalid.
The problem with seeing the driver status is that it disappears when you un-dock the unit, and it won't come up if you have a bad connection. Gnome sane? Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you don't have it.
As far as settings go, you shouldn't have to make any settings ... at least in my case, I took it out of the box, installed active sync, docked it and it worked fine from the get-go.
Let me/us know if anything here helped. Or not.
