I've got a similar problem.

A few weeks back I was using ActiveSync 3.7.1 with my HP iPAQ 4150 and ActiveSync was working fine over WiFi.

I had to format my computer for unrelated reasons and when Windows was back on, I went to the Microsoft download site to find that Active Sync 3.8 had been released, so I downloaded that.

It's installation went fine, and I am able to sync fine with it and Outlook 2003.

However, I am no longer able to sync via WiFi. You hit the "Sync" button, it says "Connecting" for about two seconds, then goes back to "Not Connected". I know 3.8 has this new security focus, and RAS is disabled by default, but I've enabled it, disabled it, re-enabled it over and over, but nothing works.

I can sync via a cable and the IR port without a problem.

I've played with every setting I can think of, both on the iPAQ and in ActiveSync itself. It's really quite annoying.

The iPAQ has an IP from my DHCP server, it can surf the internet and ping the computer with ActiveSync installed on it.

I'd be interested to see if any of you happen to find some kind of resolution...

EDIT: ummm, I just noticed the actual title of this site, Axim... Damn Google, giving me website results relating to other PocketPCs :P Oh well, I guess the problem here is more ActiveSync rather then the PDA, so I guess I'm in the same boat as the rest of you...
