Lost my Partnership

I was successfully syncing to both work and home PCs. Now I can't sync at
home. It keeps coming up "not connected" and says no partnerships. I tried
uninstalling the software, and reinstalling. I tried completely wiping out
my pocket pc so I could start all over again. The Partnership Wizard does
not appear to allow me to set up my partnership again.

any ideas??

Have you moved the USB cable to a USB HUB? Perhaps the cable is faulty?
Tried moving to another USB adapter on your computer?

Also, check that your personal firewall (like Zone Alarm or Norton or even
the Windows XP SP2 built-in firewall) is not blocking ActiveSync.

Mauricio,
How do I check that a firewall is keeping ActiveSnyc from working.
How can I run the partnership wizard?
Thanks for your help.
Reegards,
george

It depends on what firewall you have (if any). Windows Firewall (on SP2) has
an icon on Control Panel, and you can see if it's active. By default it will
allow ActiveSync. Others don't - Zone Alarm for example must be set to
Medium Level, and NIS might have rules that needed to be created.
