Guest chaznet Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 My ActiveSync connectivity just stopped. Worked well with my SDA, and the first few days with my Dash without issue -- then it stopped. Times out when connecting, then says it's unable to connect -- when I run the testing utility option that pops up, I'm told Outlook must be installed. It was before, and still is -- nothing has changed. I tried unintalling and reinstalling ActiveSync, no luck. Anyone run into this before...?! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lenivyventil Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 And do you have the right Active Sync installed? WM 5 devices need Active Sync 4.0 and higher because they work in TCP/IP mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaznet Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Um... the SDA is a WM5 device, so that might answer your question. Thanks for your input though. It wasn't related to the version of ActiveSync, but rather involved un-checking the 'Enable advanced network functionality' option in the USB to PC settings screen on the device. Why this worked without issue the first couple days is a mystery to me, but it works now :) And do you have the right Active Sync installed? WM 5 devices need Active Sync 4.0 and higher because they work in TCP/IP mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djcreedy Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I always come accross this when im testing. Its a wm5 issue. At first i thought it related to the usb port, as once it was fixed by putting the cable back into the first port that i connected it too. But this solution stopped working. The only way ive found to truly fix this everytime is to uninstall ActiveSync, delete any left over registry settings, hard reset the device. I realise thats a bit over kill, but rather than spend time messing around with it, this fixes it straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sesro1978 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi, I also unchecked the "Enable advanced network functionality" and it worked like a charm... Has anyone else experienced this? ~S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
