I sync with two computers and I have a wierdness/inconvenience that keeps happening to me. When I plug in my x51v, Activesync tells me that another device already has the name that my device is trying to sync with (although I have only synced with one handheld). I can either rename the device or sync as a guest. I simply choose an alternate name and everything is OK... Both computers I sync with have given me this problem and it happens about 25% of the time.
Has anyone else seen this problem and know how to resolve it? It is just an annoyance, but I would like to get past it...

Bump.

I too, am having this problem. Each time I plug the Axim in, it makes me rename the device. Is there a fix?

Hey, Tstall, I am now turning off my Nortons firewall and all is OK....so far.

I have firewall softare at work as well as at home that I don't wish to shut off (even if it solves the problem). My question to you is, do you sync with multiple computers? I believe this may be causing the problem...

I just updated to ActiveSync 4.2 and A12 on my X51V now I get the:
"A device with that name already exists. Please rename" message a lot.

I only dock it with one PC.

Any ideas?
