If it still is not connecting then you need to look at your firewall. Even if you don't know you have one you probably do. Windows has one built in and Norton Internet security does also. So look at your firewall settings and make sure that Activesync allows all internet access for the following:
ActiveSync RAPI Manager
Microsoft ActiveSync (this appears twice in my firewall settings)
Oddly enough if you just allow Activesync but not the RAPI Manager 2003 devices can connect but WM5 devices cannot.

Thanks for the suggestions.
My Axim is showing up as Local Area Connection 4/Connected/Windows Mobile-based Device. There is no "shared" reference. I checked Device Manager/Network Adapters & there were no errors.
Checked Firewalls. Norton allows for ActiveSync Rapi Manager & Microsoft ActiveSync (yup-it appears twice in my firewall settings too) & I checked Windows Firewall settings. Windows Firewall has exceptions for ActiveSync Rapi & Microsoft Activesync.
Sooo...I'm still at the same place. I'm connecting, but not communicating. I start to sync & when I get to the calendar it hangs up & I get the "repllog.exe" error on my axim.
Any other ideas?
