PDA Problem
« on: October 15, 2004, 18:15 »
Hi all  ;D

Having problems Syncing my PDA to the new computer..its worked ok on my Ex works pc and my old PC at home? but the new one it doesn't want to know using the direct sync using Com1.
Have been to Palm website and gone through their help/trouble shooting guide and have come up against "is the IRQ assigned"..WTF? how do I know lol..anybody have any idea's

The stoopid thing is Sandra? I have loaded it on 2 computers at work and 2 at home with no troubles what so ever..until I tried on this new computer.

This is the Log off the PC: The log file C:\Palm\Terryr\HotSync.Log cannot be found.

So it must have shook hands at some stage?

It's not your router firewall is it, Hook?

I think that Simons possibly pointed you in the right direction, but as he often does at work hes taken a wrong turn  ;)

You have SP2 on dont you Hookie ?
Maybe if you disable that and see if it allows it to synch and if it does then its just a case of configuring XPs built in firewall.
The firewall can block LANs via ethernet and USB so presumably it can do that on the COM ports too  :)

That was one of the things I had done this afternoon was to allow Hot sync manager to allow connection just in case  :D

What model of PDA is it?

Reason I ask is there seems to be a problem with SP2 and the Hotsync software for some users over on the Pdastreet forums - affecting Sony Clie, Z1 etc.

Seems to have occured mostly since SP2
