Hello,
I can easyly syncronize with USB or Bluetooth.
I've set a WiFi connection to my ADSL router, it works fine, I can scan the LAN (with ScanIP) and see my PC, but no way to sync...
Though Active Sync 3.8 is installed.
Some of you succeeded, what's the magic ? ? ?
Thanks for sharing,
Jean-Jacques

Cool link, added to my Favorites, thnks for shareing that with us
Superb
Excellent, if only everything was explained like this, keep it up!!!!
It was already here...
I had actually found it on this forum a few months ago...
But since I had put it into my favourites I figured it would have taken me about the same time to give it you than to tell you "go and and look for it"!
Glad it helped.

I struggled with this for awhile and could not get it working. The issue was I had was in the PC WINS setting I had left the LMHOSTS Lookup enabled. As soon as I unchecked that and had the Netbios tab checked it synced up. Thanks for the link. Now I can wifi sync.
another gotcha
I read every thread I could find on several forums regarding activesync via wifi and yet I could not get it to work. Then I finally read on a thread that the PPC network card "My network card connects to:"should be set to connect to WORK not The INTERNET. I changed that one setting and bingo, activesync instantly connected via wifi (I already had a partnership created while connected via USB). Of course to have the PPC connect to the Internet via wifi, you have to set it back but that is easy enough to accomplish.

On my SX66, I don't have to change back to "the Internet" to surf; I just leave it set to "Work".
New problem...activesync connects but
Well, I had everything working, now I have a new issue. I can successfully sync via usb and BT connects. When turn off BT and then tell activesync running on the BA to sync, activesync on both the PC and the BA indicate that they are connected (as BT is off and the BA is out of the cradle, it is obvious that they are connected via WiFi at this point). Then the "looking for changes" meter starts advancing and when it gets about 1/3 of the way finished, it just stops. Both the PC and the BA still show connected and activesync still indicates that it is trying. After several minutes of the no more progress, the PC side activesync indicates that there was a synchronization error.
Any ideas. I have uninstalled activesync 3.8 and reinstalled. I have run the outlook repair utility just in case there was something weird with my outlook pst file (it was clean).
Thanks

I have this problem too - I find if i soft reset the unit (and sometimes my computer too) then it works fine. anyone got any ideas?
Tried the soft reset ....
I tried the soft reset on the PPC as well as rebooting the PC and still activesync stops progressing during the sync process about 1/3 of the way thru and eventually reports the synchronization error. I have noted that during BT or usb syncing, the process pauses at the same place for just a split second and then zooms thru the remaining 2/3s of the process. It is like activesync is waiting for somekind of a handshake or acknowledgement from the PPC. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Have you tried turning off synchronise 'Files' in the activesync options? sometimes funny files can cause this problem?
Only syncing...
The only things I am trying to sync are my contacts, tasks and calendar. I even tried unchecking even those items so that I was essentially NOT syncing anything but activesync via WiFi still stalls at about 1/3 complete. As I did have WiFi/ActiveSync working for a day or so with NO issues and nothing has changed (or I guess I should say, I changed nothing), this is a real mystery.

Urm, really odd error
Wifi goes down, completely -other pcs cannot see my wireless router- when I sync my WM6 orbit.
This is reproduce-able, every time I connect the Orbit to the laptop. But if I turn off Wifi on the laptop & then sync, no problem -the router is visible to all.
Is this wierd or what??? Any ideas people?

I also had the same problem, i discovered it mostly happened when i was running alot of process heavy programs on my computer at the same time. Peer2Peer software(torrents), WinAmp, World of Warcraft, multiple Firefox windows and Secure CRT. I found closing most programs would fix the problem.
I also have active sync issues on my laptop..(go figure) i am still using the process of elimination through this troubleshooter

My Cingular 8525 suddenly doesn't sync with my vista. Whats worse is when I plug in the data cable my PC can't recognize the device and my mouse gets disabled. Is tghis a problem with the phone or maybe with the PC?
My MDA Compact III keeps disconnecting from WMDC.
I am running Windows Vista with WMDC 6.1.
I keep noticing that my device has not synced to my PC. When I open Sync Center its reported as Disconnected.
If I reconnect the USB cable the Device shows its connected via USB but Sync Center still says disconnected.
To get it to work again I have to go into Device manager on my PC and uninstall the Smartphone USB Sync driver. Disconnect the phone and reconnect it. This then forces the driver to be reinstalled and syncing starts again. But after a while it screws up again and will not reconnect.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks, Mark
hey.. even i get disconnected.. exact same thing happens to me as well..
but i never reinstall the driver n all..
i just remove the plug and wait for few seconds or to the max i soft reset my phone and then connect..
it works after that.
