Guest laubin Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Hi, I installed MS ActiveSync on my notebook so that I could set it up for use of my Samsung i600 as an wireless modem. Everything went well and I got it installed, set up a partnership with it and installed the modem drivers which also worked. Upon going back to my main computer and inserting my phone in the cradle I got a notice that it was connecting as a "Guest". I can't get it to see it as "SmartPhone" as it was before. It does see this name and tells me it already has a SmartPhone partnership. But it will not use this partnership..... I think that by using this name on the notebook computer it somehow changed something internally so it will not work on my main computer... Can anyone help me get it to work with my main computer? I don't want to delete my original partnership because of all the installed programs etc... Thanks.. Larry Aubin
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 When setting up the partnership on the notebook did you choose to sync with just the notbook or multiple PC's? This could be your problem.
Guest laubin Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Hi, I believe that I chose just the notebook... Was that a wrong move? If so is there any way to reverse what it did? I found a reference to "NOTEBOOK" with PHM Registry Editor. I changed that entry to "LARRY" which is my main computer name. Good move or not? Thanks for responding. Larry Aubin
Guest squall Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 To be honest its pretty unlikely you will sort this without deleting partnership. As for uninstalling programs you can remove most through the settings menu on the phone, and Id advise you to do a hard reset periodically anyway.
Guest laubin Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Yea, that's just about where I am now... Guess I will just delete the partnerships and start again... Thanks.
Guest Toyota-F1.com Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 I had a strange problem with something a bit similar, I wrote in a thread, search for my name and ActiveSync, and the title is "Keeps connecting as Guest" or something similar.
