I'm trying to have my new 5455 Sync over the WiFi connection. However it only seems to want to Connect As a Guest. Any thoughts on how I could correct this?

Thanks, Steve

Have you synced it by cradle first?

Most of the other posts I'm finding regarding network/wifi sync are people with network troubles... can't see the other pc, etc. I'm setup right on that end of things, when I click sync on the ipaq the pc recognizes the attempt, but for some reason only lets it connect as guest.

This seems to be an intermittent problem... if I restart the PC, I can usually sync ONCE via wifi, then after that I get connected as guest. Syncing from the cradle works fine.

I'd buy a bluetooth dongle for my laptop, but I have a feeling I'd still have the same issue, since the connection isn't really the problem, it's something software...
