Guest TomaHawk Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 very bizzarly managed to resolve it by using either a usb prot with more power or an obsucre setting im: start>settings>connections>USB to PC> unchecl box.

A/S doesn't like low powered USB ports or hubs; Even some 'Internal' USB connections are actually hubs. or an obsucre setting im: start>settings>connections>USB to PC> unchecl box. That is often the best course of action, especially with Vista. It switches from a 'Network' connection type, to a simple 'USB' connection type, with the sacrifice of some speed, but the benefit of stability ;)

I develop PDA software at work, and some of the PDAs we have will only sync with Vista when using basic USB connection (actually a USB serial/PPP based link), whereas the more advanced RNDIS is a true network adaptor, giving full ethernet connectivity. In my experience, when using basic USB serial connection, I cannot access the PDA from the PC using ethernet (for debugging of network services). When connected with full USB/RNDIS support, I can access network services on the PDA from the PC itself.
