Mobile 5-ActiveSync connectivity issues

[DomRS]

Hi all

When connecting a Windows Mobile 5 device (Mio P550 mainly, others too) to ActiveSync it will not connect until I have actually disabled other network connections, on all but one PC I have tried on.

Mobile 5 connects via TCP/IP, and therefore appears as a network connection rather than a mobile device.

Any ideas?

The only thought I have had is that the network cards aren't up to more than one connection. The three that won't work have integrated network cards.

Whatever the reason for it, does anyone know a way around the problem? Most modern laptops come with an integrated network adapter, I believe, and so there must be a way to connect the PDAs.

Thanks in advance

Forgot to mention, latest version of ActiveSync has been tested for this problem - no change. Still fails to connect while network is enabled.

Perhaps there is firewall or security program running on the network. Here's tutorial with settings for some forewall programs;
