I'm having a similar problem. I connect the 51v and it recognizes the PDA and Active Sync says "connecting" but never says "Connected". I remove the 51v and drop in the cradle my 50v and it syncs without fail. I've removed all firewalls, resat the cradle, reinstalled the activesync software, downgraded to 4.0, and zilch. Nothing happens. It could sit for hours without anything happening. I even went as far to creat a new profile on the PC and it still will not connect. But the 50v is a sure thing, no problems.

The 51v is version 5.1.7 and the 50v is 4.21.1008

I've tried this...

I purchased and received a new Dell X51v Axim PDA. I followed all procedures for synching the PDA with my laptop with no success. i installed ActiveSync 4.1 first. Connected the USB cradle to my laptop and then connected the PDA to the cradle. ActiveSync would not find the PDA. Interestingly, my laptop knew that I was connecting the PDA because it was showing up as an additional network adapter in "Network Neighborhood" and in device manager. Dell said that it was something with my firewall or antivirus or antispyware software. Not! I read on some website that ActiveSync needed a successful network connection to function properly. It finally dawned on me that after I connected the PDA to my laptop I should check my "properties" of the "mobile device" in the network adapter section in network neighborhood. I found that "client for Microsoft networks", "File and Printer sharing", and "TCP/IP" was disabled or unchecked. I checked all 3 of these and WHAM my PDA started synching.

...but still nothing. Any guesses?
