Worra C. might know the answer, but I don't suppose he gets on here much :lol:

I found this list of files to check you have AS installed and ready:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\wcescomm.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\rapimgr.exe

And also look for this (?Win Firewall worth a look and also check services are running by doing 'Start>Run>Services.msc')

ActiveSync Service on port 26675/TCP

Also this on Google groups:

Hi Chris,

I followed you suggestion for this problem as I was having the same problem.

I now get activesync disconnecting and the screen says Waiting for Network.

Are there ports that i have to open for this to work?

Hi,

Do you have ports 53 to look up the host name, 80 to find the website and

443 to access encrypted data available?

Also, another site suggests checking DNS lookup using vxUtils:

Aside from these measures, I stand back for the resident guru's to work this out!
