Guest MJPMoc Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toonie Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) 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.

Guest netimpact Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Toonie Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks! I'll have a look at that when i get the chance. Regards, Toonie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, just out of interest, would this allow it to work with ActiveSync 3.8 ? Regards, Toonie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hmm ... anyone managed to sort this for activesync 4.1, M600 & zonelabs free firewall?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wardy Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hmm ... anyone managed to sort this for activesync 4.1, M600 & zonelabs free firewall?? Works ok on my Jammin with AS 4.1 and Check point intergrity flex. Very similar to ZoneLabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chiz Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hmm ... anyone managed to sort this for activesync 4.1, M600 & zonelabs free firewall?? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bdmoore Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest b33k34 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Genius - the serial patch seems to have worked with my m600 and corporate sygate. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest b33k34 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 See if the ActiveSync 4.2 beta fixes this too! ;) P it's taken 6 months for my company to get get 4.1 released and they've now admitted that they only tested it with 2003 devices despite the request being so that 2005 devices could be synched!

Guest drblow Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 See if the ActiveSync 4.2 beta fixes this too! :P P Sorry to report that it doesn't work for me. I can connect & explore the device, but sync just keeps on spinning. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 ;) 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!

Guest G1LIW Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 And here it is for those who don't have it:- Install and pick Serial from the chosen menu within the USB app in programs OK, for the thickos among ud - that's me, by the way, lol - if it's using the USB cable, then how can switching to serial help? all I have to connect my phone is a USB cable!

Today I got my htc-wizzard, and was annoyed because syncing didn't work.. I solved the exploring bit of activesync by: Connect the phone. Kill WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe in the taskmanager (PC). restart wcescomm.exe. Go to active sync and start exploring your phone :) syncing doesn't work, but exploring and putting the cab's on the phone does work ;) Now testing if switching to serial mode does the trick for me :D >> UPDATE :( :P Syncing is not a problem any more :D Edited July 26, 2006 by equinoxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pjam001 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 That usb switch app is amazing. I've been messing around for the last few days as my active sync stopped working over usb (fine over bt). It used to work fine but suddenly stopped and removing firewall didn't fix. usb switch has fixed it. Thankyou very much indeed. Saved me a hard reset.
