Vista says nothing is connected but it is

[Guest acousticalexakis]

I have my IMATE SP5 connected to my computer and the plug/charing icon is shown on my phone. However, when i go to the windows mobile center it says nothing is connected.How do i get my computer to recognize that my phone is connected? Its weird because when i first plugged my phone into the computer it installed the ms network driver for the phone. I dont see the phone under 'Computer' or in the device manager. Can any one help? Thanks

WMDC stikes again!

Try turning off 'advanced networking' in Settings -> Connections on your device perhaps? That makes the PC see it as something different - could help.

Looks like after deep searching its the darn firewall causing the issue. Atleast the connection issue. For future people with the problem I looked here http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=connect
