tgerstner,

I had the same problem as you and spent over a week pulling out my hair trying to figure out why i could establish a partnership and sync just fine, however when i disconnected and reconnected to computer, i was always connecting as guest.........i have found the cause of my problem and fixed it.........this might help.....

I had my axim setup with pocketinformant in my startup folder so that everytime i soft reset, pocketinformant would startup. However, i believe since the upgrade to PI 4+ the guest syncing problem began. Apparently when i have PI running or minimized and connected to computer to sync, it would sync as guest. I have removed PI from my startup, soft reset, and when i sync i sync using my partnership name. In short, do not have PI running or minimized when syncing in order to get a normal sync with computer. I found references to PI causing this problem from some postings over at Brighthand. Another program that people mentioned as causing this guest sync problem is Calligrapher which i do not have or run.

If you have PI 4 or Calligrapher running while trying to sync, this could be the reason why you keep getting synced as Guest. Just kill the programs, remove from startup if u have it there, and soft reset, then resync. I hope that helps you.
