Pocket PC Forum / End Users / ActiveSync / May 2006ipaq looses connection during sync via infrared
I am syncing with two machines - desktop via usb and IBM via infrared. Desktop is fine. IBM is slow to get going - sometimes it does not connect and sometimes the connection is dropped during the sync via infrared. The ipaq reports that it is still syncing but activsync says it is not connected. I had no problems with my jornada which I had until a few weeks ago. Desktop has XP Home SP2, and IBM has XP Pro SP2 - both totally up to date. Any ideas would be welcome!! Can you try Ir sync or a straight file transfer with another laptop/PC? Its possible either your PPC Ir hardware is bad or the IBM Ir hardware is bad and trying Ir with another laptop/PC may help find the failing device.

Any ideas would be welcome!! The IR sync can be quite slow, especially if you are syncing lots of stuff.. Is your device turning itself off before the sync is finished? I find when syncing my X51v via IR that I have to point it at the laptop, select ActiveSync on the device, choose Sync via IR from the menu. This is enough to fire off the AS on the desktop, but not always to make the sync. So I need to press Menu, Sync via IR a second time to get the sync going. Once this is done once in the day, the other syncs over the next hour or so work smoothly. (The first sync each day I always do through WiFi to Exchange or USB to laptop - so as to avoid the slow initial sync with lots of data). >I am syncing with two machines - desktop via usb and IBM via infrared. > Desktop is fine.

Any ideas would be welcome!! Hi, I have never been able to get either of my dell axims to connect. Active Sync hangs and then they disconnect. I have never had a problem with the devices seeing my pc but something happens when the actual transfer of data starts. My thinking on this subject is that is has to be a lame ir device. people told me to just buy whatever but I am starting to wonder if I should have gotten a nicer one. I tried Al's direct transfer of a file and it sees my pc no problem but says failed everytime. Any thoughts mvps?

Yes, I am behind a 2Wire portal Firewall and use Real VPN. Please advise. ============== Posted with QMail 2.9 http://www.modernnomads.info/wiki/index.php?page=Installing+and+configuring+QMail OOps I was wrong I don't use VPN. I use real vnc. Sorry. However I am not sure the 2wire portal would be interferring with infared. Perhaps you know better. Let me know. I have some advanced settings on it that I would have no idea what to do with them anyhow. So I will definitely appreciate your help.

I had xp's infared software disabled and that has helped a bit more but still hasn't allowed me to sync. If I put my device in from of the port it is seen very well quickly. No problems there. I can even transfer files now. Activesync starts up great and asks me to establish a partnership and I go though all the screen prompts and then the progress bar shows on the pocket pc screen but then it just hangs and finally disconnects. I get an error messages that says: "A system error has prevented microsoft active syn from setting up a partnership. Please diconnect and restart the computer and try again." Hope this is a bit more helpful. Thanks in advance. shezageek SignatureDell Axim X3O Mid > OOps I was wrong I don't use VPN. I use real vnc. Sorry.

Can you check on the IrDA implementation you're using - you should be able to set it in the BIOS. If you are using IrDA 2.0, try switching it to IrDA 1.1 SignatureRob Borek Want *ONE ON ONE* support? http://www.pocketpcone2one.com Please place all replies into the newsgroup so that others can benefit. > >OK, I have gotten further.

Thanks for answering my plee for help. Best regards, Shezageek ============== Posted with QMail 2.9 http://www.modernnomads.info/wiki/index.php?page=Installing+and+configuring+QMail |
