Hi,

activesync 3.6 is not able to store a created partnership with my new axim: After disconnect and reconnect I only get a guest-connection and so synchronisation is not possible!
Is there any help? I've seen that some other threads covered the same problem but did not get any solution. Is there really no solution?
To bring some more technical details about the problem:
Looking at the wcesmgr.log-file I can see the following content:


Checking existing partnership on device 0x251B4987.

ActiveSync second instance started, Cmd line: '/onconnect'

ActiveSync second instance exiting

IE Version:5.50.4807.2300 IE5=1

DTPT: Failed first query to find network. Dest={A1182988-0D73-439E-87AD-2A5B369F808B}, HR=0x80004005
DTPT: FAILED to find source network. Dest={A1182988-0D73-439E-87AD-2A5B369F808B} fDeviceSrc=0 HR=0x80004005

ERROR returned in function CCeSync::CheckPartner. hr: 0x80004005
Checking existing partnership on device 0x251B4987.

and so on.

There seems to be a problem in function CCeSync::CheckPartner.hr. What to do? When synchronizing my old philips nino (Windows CE 2.1) with the same activesync-Version all works fine.

Any help would be great. I have Windows 2K and outlook 98.


Thanks in advance

Frank

FYI:

In my case the solution was found in netnews (there the problem is known as "guest-problem". In my case it was really a defect msxml3.dll. The easiest way to get these files in correct kind is to install a new IE (e.g. IE6).

I had the same problem as you and spent over a week pulling out my hair trying to figure out why i could establish a partnership and sync just fine, however when i disconnected and reconnected to computer, i was always connecting as guest.........i have found the cause of my problem and fixed it.........this might help.....

I had my axim setup with pocketinformant in my startup folder so that everytime i soft reset, pocketinformant would startup. However, i believe since the upgrade to PI 4+ the guest syncing problem began. Apparently when i have PI running or minimized and connected to computer to sync, it would sync as guest. I have removed PI from my startup, soft reset, and when i sync i sync using my partnership name. In short, do not have PI running or minimized when syncing in order to get a normal sync with computer. I found references to PI causing this problem from some postings over at Brighthand. Another program that people mentioned as causing this guest sync problem is Calligrapher which i do not have or run.

If you have PI 4 or Calligrapher running while trying to sync, this could be the reason why you keep getting synced as Guest. Just kill the programs, remove from startup if u have it there, and soft reset, then resync. I hope that helps you.
