View Full Version : Can I Sync with more than one PC?

I sync'd my ipaq 5555 (Pocket PC 2003) with a Windows XP machine at home, then tried to sync with a Windows 2000 machine at work. The sync at home was normal, but the only reaction I got from the PC at work was the "New Hardware Found" message when I plugged the ipaq into the cradle...no connection. When I opened Active Sync on the ipaq, it reported, "Not Connected."

Is there some reason we can't sync with more than one PC? Of different operating systems?

I'm synching my iPAQ 5550 with both my home PC running XP Home, and my work PC running 2000, with no problems. Aplogies for asking the obvious, but have you installed ActiveSync on your work computer? (You do need admin rights).

Better question still, does your employer allow personal PDA's to connect to your office network. I would check with your IT folks before you continue.
