I've been using Activesync at work with my Symbol WiFi card since forever. No real problems. Version 3.5 and 2002 Ipaq have been working fine. I just installed an accessPoint at home yesterday, and with a little work I got it running and connecting ok. I created a second partnership and set it to sync files and favorites (You can't sync inbox to two computers.) It stoped once and a reboot of the PC fixed it...
Today however it will not connect from the network, only USB. When I try network it makes the connecting sound, and the PC says connected, but as GUEST. The PocketPC only says 'connecting' and never gets any further. I have exhausted everything I can think of. Here is a short list of the things I've tried (most many times.)
Rebooting XP (many many many times.)
Soft reset Ipaq.
Delete partnership and recreate (many times.)
Delete partnership and set it not to sync anything.
Scour MS knowledge base - worthless
Un-install active sync / reinstall.
No matter what I do still says connected as guest. Which wouldn't be so bad if it actually WAS connected. If I try to 'explore' the device, no files, nothing.
Any help? Or ideas where to go for help? Who is supposed to support me on this, Microsoft or Compaq?
