Guest Prosody Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I should preface this by saying that I've used Zone Alarm and Active Sync 3.8 and 4.1 together successfully before, since March when I got my WM5 device and before that with my IPAQ it's always worked fine together. Then the other day I tried to sync on my main Desktop PC and was getting errors indicating that Active Sync could find the PPC but could not connect. Tried repeatedly and also tried putting AS 4.1 back on in case it was that, no joy. Anyway I then got my LapTop back from my dad who'd been upgrading the Hard Drive. I installed AS and it synced fine, then installed Zone Alarm and had the same problems, if I disable ZA it works fine on both machines. I've tried allowing access to all the programs I can find on the Program Control list but no joy. Anyone experienced similar? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4N1L Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yep, i've experienced similar problems...with ZoneAlarm on i was unable to sync my smartphone (sp5m) with my PC (running XP Pro with SP2) using any version of ActiveSync - i tried versions 3.8, 4.1 and 4.2! What was happening in my case was that the PC was seeing the connected phone as another internet connection and then hanging at the sync stage (where the green spinning circle appears). As soon as i turn ZoneAlarm off, all work as expected...funnily enough i was able to have both AS and ZA coexisting on XP Service Pack 1? I've read somewhere on here in another thread that if you make some setting adjustments to ZA it can eventually work but i have not had the chance to try it yet.

Guest Chiz Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I use something called USB Switch issued by HTC I believe. Not ideal but it makes it work. Have to set it up at each Sync though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
