    Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the correct message board for this issue, but here I go anyway: I'm attempting (unsuccessfully) to Sync my Compaq IPAQ 3835 to my desktop (DELL GX260) at work. After installing ActiveSync 3.5, I am instructed to "Get Connected", ie make a connection from my Pocket PC to my Desktop PC. The problem is that this connection always fails. The PC doesn't recognize my device, so a connection can't be created. Does anyone have any trouble shooting tips for me? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Nick

      Missing info: 1-What is your desktop OS and version? 2-What connection method (serial, USB, Bluetooth, IR)? To try: ActiveSync 3.6 - download it from Microsoft web site. Good luck! João Paulo

Also, when the connection to the PocketPC fails, a pop-up shows that my port (COM1) is available. Are there other ways I can check my Port availability? Thanks for the help Nick
