First you have to make sure the ActiveSync is configured to list the correct COM Port. Check in your Bluetooth configuration what is the COM Port in your Local Services tab. That is the port the connection will come into your computer. Right-click the Bluetooth icon in the System Tray, select Advanced Configuration and change to the Local Services tab.

Right-click the ActiveSync icon and select Connection Settings. Make sure the COM port select here matches the one found before.

Also have a look on this thread for conflicts with personal firewall (if you have any).

Falou?

Ok thats exactly what i Did ( voce pode ter certeza)

but unfortunatly sometimes it works and sometimes a message shows up telling that it can t find the ipaq.. as discribet abouve...

anye help on this?

By theway what do you mean by personal firewall , what i use is norton antyvirus , but I do not think this is considered as firewall?

an other funny thing is I can only start the sync from my PC but not from the Ipaq!!!

You'd have a personal firewall if running Zone Alarm, Sygate, Norton Internet Security or Symantec Desktop Firewall.

The ActiveSync over Bluetooth is always initiated from the Pocket PC.

Ok I think I do not have a fire wall..
but anyway do you have an idea why sometimes the PC sais to me that the connection is not correct?

and what I meant was that once the conncection estabilshed from the Ipaq to the PC (activesync) the inly way to start a second sync is starting it from the PC..
