Can't sync wirelessly through firewall

[justguessing]

I always have to turn off my Symantec Personal Firewall 2004 to wirelessly sync my Axim X50. The Active Sync program is on the safe list, but My Axim cannot get to it with the firewall up. Anybody know which port I need to open on my firewall to let this happen?

I had the same problems - the TCP ports you need to open are:
• 990
• 999
• 5678
• 5679

See here for more information. This worked for me.

Thanks for the reply. Works great!

For me, I just put my axim's mac address on sygate firewall since my desktop and axim are inside of the same router.
