Hi,
I was having many many many problems getting activesync 4.x to sync my SPV M600 phone while my sygate firewall was enabled (to the point of driving me mad !). I trawled through all the solutions and found this, which worked perfectly. Hope it helps others !! : cheerio Matt The following registry change on the M600 resolves the compatibilkity issue of AciveSync 4.1 and Sygate Security Agent. Registry Sub Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversUSBFunctionDriversRNDIS] Name of the Value to add: MTU Type : DWORD Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal) Registry Sub Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversUSBFunctionDriversRNDIS] Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer Type: DWORD Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal) |

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the tip. I have been having problems with AS the whole time I've had my JAMin. The firewall I use is an old version of Tiny Personal Firewall (2.0.15 I think), which I keep on using because I prefer the interface to anything else I've tried. Anyway, Activesync 4.1 is the first thing ever to break it. My findings with your patch is as follows: Before, I was experiencing problems with the AS dialogue, where there would be a small box saying something like "Transferring Settings", and it would just never go away. I could however still access the mobile device folder, and install apps, so I could live with it. Also, the firewall would very frequently generate error messages, but didn't actaully cause anything to fail. After the patch, AS seemed to complete successfully for the first time. It now says "Connected" and sync's like it should do. There is still one small gremlin, and that is when I connect the JAMin (via USB as always), I hear the bong-bing sound, that means something is plugged in, but AS doesn't do anything. When I temporarily disable the firewall, the Password dialogue appears (where I type in the devices password number). I can then switch the firewall back on again and everything works fine from then on. I can live with this though. Thanks again. Toonie. This post has been edited by Toonie: Apr 19 2006, 09:05 |

Dopod 818pro has came out a patch for solving this problem. Once this program is installed, you can select between USB or serial mode. This serial mode will bypass the firewall problem.

I don't have a solution but my activsnyc does not work with the Zonelabs firewall. If I disable it, it works and syncronises. Not ideal as I have to disconnet the internet first as the firewall is off. Would be grateful if anyone has any ways round this. Thanks Chiz |

I haven't tried this but Activesync 4 creates a new network connection (shows as Local Area Connection 2 in Network Connections for me, you'll see it pop up in the taskbar when you connect the device before Activesync actually detects it) - you could try trusting all traffic through this connection in ZoneAlarm / other firewall?
I don't use anything other than Windows firewall on my machine as my hardware stuff stops anything malicious so I'm just guessing

 Well, I have managed to get my M600 to sync without switching off my zonealarm firewall!!For any zonealarm users ... click the firewall tab on the left, and click the 'zones' tab within that. Then set your windows mobile device to the trusetd zone, rather than the internet. Hey presto! -------------------- "... time is an illusion ... lunchtime doubly so ..."
