two PC's, 2 SPV M700,activesync problem

[Guest stringman]

hi all,

I have two orange spv m700 (one mine one for my wife)

I have my laptop and a desktop PC both running xp home sp2

on my laptop my phone is set up as the primary device with my wifes as "guest" which is great

on my desktop my wifes phone is set to primary device which is good

but.................

the desktop refuses to see my phone as connected.

I have swapped cables rebooted pc's soft reset the phones, deleted the partnership everything except hard resetting my phone (am very loathe to do that)

but nothing.

on my laptop i plug the second phone in and it starts the wizard. I cancel to get guest

on the desktop it wont even see the second phone

its really bugging me

anyone any ideas

cheers

What version of active sync are you running if not 4.5

1st Id update that

2nd, On the unit that isnt working have you checked the active sync settings ensuring usb is ticked in the tools options

3 is there any visual damage to the miniusb? Does the unit charge

As the laptop can see the device fine, I am guessing the phone's USB connection is fine.

Are you connecting via RNDIS or USB (ie have you unticked or ticked the advanced option in Start, Settings, Connections, USB-to-PC)?

If thats ticked, try unticked as it could be a firewall issue thats blocking the rndis connection on the desktop.
