Yes. You should be able to as long as you can see your computer's name as stated in the instructions:

"Start up the ActiveSync application on it (but do not click the sync button. If you are currently connected, tap "Stop" and disconnect the Axim from the sync cable/cradle). In the "Tools" menu, select "Options...”
In PPC02:

* Click on the check box next to "Include PC when synchronizing remotely and connect to:”
* Enter the name of the PC you'll be syncing with in the text box below this line.
* “OK/close” your way out of the ActiveSync windows

In WM03:

* On the PC tab, make sure the name of your PC is listed."

My problem was that I had a firewall activated. Once I disabled it, it worked without problems. But I refuse to leave my firewall down so, I opened up an access port for it. Other than the firewall, I followed the instructions and it worked without problems! :) Thank you to everyone who helped set up the wifi sync and also the IR sync.
