Try this...



Make sure all firewalls are turned off. If you running ZoneAlarm or Norton this can be hard to do at times. If you can get all Firewalls off, try to resync.



The reason I say this, I have done 3 X50 to WM5 conversions. Mine was a piece of cake. The other two were a bugger to do. It was all because of multiple firewalls. The first one had windows firwall & Norton turned on. All ports were blocked to Network calls. Active sync would not work. I turned Windows Firewall off and for the life of me I could not get Norton to let go so I had to uninstall it. As soon as I did that and rebooted, all was ok.



The second one had Windows, Norton and ZoneAlarm. Same problems I ended up doing the same. and got it to work.



You know the worst part of it is, None of the folks needed to have a software Firewall anyway. They all were behind a hardware firewall. A big waste of bucks.



Anyway, All PPC are running fine on WM5, but what fun it was to get there....
