I have an ipaq 3630, pc is running win 2000, i have downloaded the sync software from microsoft but when it starts up it cant detect the port that the ipaq is on??
I have made sure the settings are the same on the ipaq and the pc but still with no luck?? When searching the ipaq starts to look for something the just stops?
Any ideas??
Thanks

I had exactly the same problem. Same iPaq version, same O/S. I got it to work by changing the settings on the serial port (handshaking, transmission rate). I'm afraid I can't remember the precise details as it was >1yr ago now. I got a USB sync cable eventually - seems quicker & is definitely more reliable.

You don't say what Rom revision your running, would recommend upgrading the the latest 1.87 for PocketPC2000 if your not using that rev already.

what version of active sync are you using?
What happens when you run 'get connected' from the File menu of activesync

i have the latest sync software from the microsoft web site, when it tries to find the pda it cant find it on any of the serial ports?? The pda also flashes up something? I have changed all the speeds on both the pc and the pda to make sure they match but still no joy
