I have no problem with connection and syncing when the
ipaq is in the cradle, it is recognized by its partnership
name. When I connect thru wireless it is seen only
as "Guest" and the process hangs.

I had the same problem with my iPaq h5550 until I configured my WinXP PC as
the WINS server of iPaq. I typed in the local IP address [iPaq] -> Control
Panel -> Connections -> Connections -> Network card -> Name servers menu.
You can also do this with Zinnermann Pocket Hosts (

I'd also check that you don't have a hardware or software firewall causing
trouble, either blocking or interrupting synchronization.

Sometimes the pc and/or ppc need a reboot/reset. I ran into this problem
with my 4350 just yesterday. After killing activesync and resetting my 4350
everything was fine.

Shortly check you FW rules if you have one, Enable NetBIOS and be careful
use a NetBIOS conform name for you PDA.
