Any idea anyone?

Hi Chris,
after your advise I set the partnerships up again, I am on activesync 4.5
now, this time I gave both
parternerships (work PC and home PC) the identical name but strange enough
it does not work. Are you actually able to sync with two different PCs?

I also have to admit that this approach does not look to logical to me, when
the "setup partnership dialogue" from Active Sync comes up it says something
like "please chose a name for your partnership to distinguish it from
another computer". This does not exactly hint you to use the identical name.

To cut a long story short - it does not work with me. Does it work with you?

regards
Marcus
