For those of you having problems with synchronizing wirelessly, this may or may not be of some help to you.

Now, I haven't tested adhoc mode yet but will post results as soon as I validate my methods before posting it here. Here's how I setup my Axim to sync wirelessly at work, this should give those of you who synchronizing at work an idea on how. Though sync'ng at home should be too terribly different. Ok, lets start.

I use the Dell TrueMobile 1180 CF card. Install the Dell Client Software; then go into the Client SW and associate it by plugging in the Network Name (SSID) and the rest to get it associated. Once I get a good signal that's not all, I have to plug in VPN settings as well and proxy server (Its needed for me if I want PIE or Pocket Internet Explorer to work at work.).

This next step is assuming that you already have a partnership created and have synchronized via cable/cradle before.

Go into ActiveSync on your Axim. (Start=>ActiveSync) Tap on Tools=>Options. Under the PC tab I want to make sure there's a check box on "Include PC when synchronizing remotely and connect to:"; then you want to add your full computer name into the drop-down/text box. To find your full computer name, on your host computer hold down the windows key (its the flying windows logo key, should be located between ctrl and alt) then press on the pause or pause/break key. System Properties should come up, then click on "Computer Name" if you have Win2K/WinXP. (On Win9x, right click on Network Neighborhood then click on the "Indentification" tab.)

Next I got to the "Schedule" tab, here you want to make sure you uncheck "When synchroning remotely with my PC, disconnect when complete". If you don't uncheck this, after ActiveSync detects changes and syncs, immediately after it will show "Disconnected" which to some people; they believed that it never synchronized or didn't sync correctly. Hit "OK" and now I am ready to sync wireless, just have to tap on "Sync" in ActiveSync on the Axim.

Good luck!

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