Brand new Axim out of the box. Updated to A03 and AS 3.8. I can connect and sync just fine to my Exchange server on the same network. All other network connections work fine and dandy.
However, I can not sync to my PC (aka the tasks, avantgo, etc). Same problems described here. Went through the usual medicine.
Firewall for SP2 is disabled.
Can ping device, device can ping PC.
Enabled network sync w/ AS 3.8

When my Pocket PC is connected to the network via 802.11b, I am able to sync to the exchange server with out a problem. However, I am not able to sync to the PC (so tasks, notes, etc.)
It errors out and tells me to restart my device and try again. All firewall settings are taken care of for ActiveSync on the PC. Before I upgraded to AS 3.8, it would even go so far as to beep at me like it is trying to sync. Now I just error out. "Cannot start communications with the desktop computer." "Reconnect your device. If the problem persits, see Microsoft ActiveSync Help."

Exact error message on PC
"Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I click OK and it says Not connected. The axim still says its trying to connect ("Connecting...") and when I stop or soft-reset, I get the sound as if I pulled it out of the cradle on the PC.
