Suddenly longer able to sync - both USB and Bluetooth; files corru

Initially, I was able to set up partnerships on my office and personal
laptops via USB - everything worked fine - synching files & Outlook on office
PC; files only on home PC.

Then lost USB syching on office PC. Tried all the standard solutions
(un/reinstall, firewall checking, removed/recreated partnership,
removed/recreated network device) but AS still hangs up "connecting" - though
I can ping the WM5 device on both office and home PCs.

Then I set up BT syching at office PC which worked fine initially, but now
it, too, hangs up sometimes and sometimes connects. Though everytime I've
tried to move a file from the office PC to the WM5 device, I can a "cannot
convert file" error, which on one occasion actually corrupted the source file
on my PC.

I can now only synch via IR on my office PC - and my home PC has neither BT
or IR, so I can't directly communicate with it at all.

This is my 7th WM/PPC device and I've had practically every version of AS
with really no problems at all. Based on my own experience and the
incredible number of posts on this issue AS4.1 is a train wreck! When will
the fixes and AS4.2 be available???

 

Also, here is the error embedded in the WCESMGR.LOG file:

**** ActiveSync (4.1.4841 RETAIL) started, Cmd line: '/show'
04/20/2006 20:58:42.177 p(3412) t(3416) TraceToFile -> ERROR in
CHttpEngine::SetTrustedIp : hr = 0x80072726 - httpeng.cpp(254)

Don't know what it means - something with HTTP and the IP address?

 

Did you make any changes between the time it was working and the time
it wasn't, like update a piece of software (especially your firewall
or antivirus software)? Have you tried a soft reset, and also have you
tried reinstalling ActiveSync?

None. And I don't have firewalls running on either PC.

 

Hi Jeff. Did you soft reset the device that's haveing problems?
