Active Sync via wireless
At the risk of sounding like and idiot.... Okay, I'll continue.
I have followed ALLL of the instructions to be able to sync via my wireless card. I have a D-link DI614+ router and a Dell CF card. I have an IBM A30 laptop with a D-link AirPlus wireless card.

I can get on line w/ IE. I can use Instant Messenger and MSN Messenger. I can ping my desktop machine upstairs, I can ping the router. I cannot ping my laptop. I am using the PocketHost. I have checked the name of the computer to make sure that I have the right settings.

I am now wondering if the firewall on the D-link is prohibiting the connection, but, then I can ping the router and the desktop machine.

Any suggestions?

From your laptop, can you ping the router and the desktop computer?

That firewall wouldn't matter, but ZoneAlarm could. Are both your Axim and Desktop on the same subnet?
