Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / September 2004Wireless sync & Firewalls
Hi Can any one help me to allow active sync to work correctly through a firewall (I'm using XP firewall and Trend Internet Security f'wall). I can sync wirelessly when both are disabled, but not so when either is enabled. I understand that the problem lies with allowing WCESCOMM.exe unrestricted access, but can't figure out how to do it, or which tcp ports to open up. Thanks for your help.

There are a lot of good reasons to install SP2. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/topten.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/overview.mspx You can still use your existing personal firewall instead of the SP2 Windows Firewall... I have SP2 running on both of my home machines, one XP Pro and one XP Home, with out any problems whatsoever...
