I have active sync 3.7.1
I tried restored the microsoft XP firewall to factory default, i opened active sync, the firewall asked me if i wanted to block or unblock the program, I chose to unblock the program. after that i had the active sync program open on my computer, and i pressed sync on my Dell x50. it tries to connect for 2-3 seconds and then pops up this message. "Communications Error- cannot start communications with the desktop computer Reconnect your devise. If the problem persists, see microsoft active sync help"
I double and triple checked again. the settings on my dell x50 and my computer are exactly the same as what
http://www.wifi.aximsite.com/ tells you to do.
sorry for all the trouble, I really appreciate the help.
