Mobility Site - View Single Post - I've really really tried, but I have WiFi synch issues

Hi guys.

Apologies for such an early post/first thread being a question, but I'm honestly stumped. I'll start with what I have done:- hung around here for a few weeks, before, and then with my x50v, been through Frenchy's tutorials, taken IkeHiker's site word for word, all of which helped no end in getting me wirelessed in the first place! Top guides and answers one and all, thanks.

I'm definately logged onto my network - PPC shows the IP address, and my NetGear Router shows the Dell's MAC address. I have access to the 'Net from the PPC, so no worries there. I can also sync from the cradle, no worries either. ActivSync 3.8, by the way.

What I can't do for some reason is sync over WiFi... I have been through all the posts I can find, and tried as much as I can think of - deleting the partnership and starting again, disabling the firewall, re-enabling, opening the ports, soft resets: still nothing. When I start ActivSync from the PPC it just (eventually) gives me the message "Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Reconnect your device..."

Is this just another bizarre case of an x50v not being able to for no apparent reason? Any thoughts massively appreciated, an thanks in advance.
