ActiveSync uses TCP/IP to communicate with your host computer, so for those of you out there who have Norton or Mcafee or ZoneAlarm personal firewall software out there you may have problems syncronizing your Axim to you host computer. The firewall software may think that your Axim is trying to "hack" into your computer. To combat this problem, you have to configure your firewall to allow WCESCOMM.exe unrestricted access. WCESCOMM.exe is the app that ActiveSync uses to communicate Pocket PC devices with your PC. The WCESCOMM.exe file is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync if you installed ActiveSync using the default directory during installation.

I hope this is of some help. Have a great day and enjoy your Axim!
