ActiveSync doesn't connect to T-Mobile SDA ketcham 05-05-2006

I just got a T-Mobile SDA, but it doesn't connect to ActiveSync on my
XP computer. I am pretty sure the problem is in my computer setup
somewhere because I installedd ActiveSync on another computer and it
worked fine.

When I plug in the phone, the computer recognizes it as a Windows
Mobile-based Device. I get the "Local Area Connection" (followed by a
number) in my available networks. ActiveSync just sticks at
"Connecting..."

When I use Ethereal, I can see the phone at 169.254.2.1 trying to
connect to my computer at 169.254.2.2, but it says Port 5679 is
unreachable. This happens with everything for ActiveSync allowed in
Windows Firewall, and even with Firewall disabled. Using ipconfig /all
shows the connection to the device and everything looks fine.

I am not running any anti-virus software (I normally run a limited
account, but I have been using my admin account to install and set up
ActiveSync). I am not running any other security services that could
conceivable interfere with network connections.

Now, here is the strangest part: Whenever I have plugged in the device
and tried to make a connection, my wireless internet connection is
killed, and everyone else on other computers is kicked off the wireless
network as well! I can still see the available wireless networks, but I
have to restart to be able to connect again. I have found through some
Google searches that this may be related to a conflict with my wireless
adapter, which is an Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG. I am pretty sure this
is a standard chipset for Centrino notebooks, so I'm amazed that
ActiveSync has conflicts with this adapter. I have tried updating to
the latest Intel drivers, but I still have the same conflict.

Thinking that the ActiveSync connection problem could be related to
this possible Intel problem, I have also tried using ActiveSync when
the Intel Wireless adapter is disabled, but this doesn't fix the
problem.


Additional things I have tried:
* Plugging the phone into every USB port, disabling at the previous
port and letting the computer rediscover the phone.
* Verified that the network connection to the phone is using Client for
MS Networks, File and
Print Sharing for MS NW, Internet protocol
* Completely uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync (both 4.1 and
4.2beta) by uninstalling, deleting files and directories left behind,
and clearing any mentions of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile from my
registry.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know you already said you tried every usb port, but i had similar problems
and discovered, that it wouldn't work with the SDA on a hub, had to plug it
directly into the PC. After that it worked great......

But it won't sync from the SIM either
