I hav to run to my staff meeting now but will try to provide more info on what I am going through right now. P.S. A new PocketPC running MS and AS is out of the Christmas list for my wife until further improvement. Marc G

Do you have a firewall installed on your computer? If so, does your firewall allow ActiveSync to act as a server on the network? If not, ActiveSync 4.x won't work due to its new fake network card design. (if you haven't noticed already, ActiveSync creates a new network connection for use with PocketPCs and uses this connection to communicate with the PocketPC via TCP/IP) I found this out the hard way after not allowing ActiveSync to become a server on the network...

Hope that helps someone
