Guest memefifine Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Cannot get my new dell axim to connect to the computer because of Zone Labs firewall. When I uninstall the firewall, it connects up fine, but then cannot connect when I reconnect the firewall. Looked at the microsoft internet help, and got half way through and then found it was on a different version of the firewall - I have the free downloaded version of Zone Alarm. Does anyone know how to do this? I can see someone has dealt with a phone, but I'm not sure I understood their answer! Many thanks in hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 What version of activesync are you using? The latest ones are a lot better at bypassing firewall issues. Otherwise, can you not see a list of blocked ports and apps in Zone alarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest memefifine Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Many thanks for your comments. I'm hoping this is a reply which gets to you as there seemed to be about 4 steps in making a response. It's ActiveSync 4.1. Is ActiveSync 4.2 better? as I think there was an opportunity to get this in the microsoft website. And yes, I looked in Zone Alarm, and next to the various parts of the ActiveSync programme there were pairs of question marks under the sections Access and Server. I did change these to ticks but it didn't make any difference so I changed them back again. Thanks - your help is appreciated! memefifine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
