I have the hotsync manager in my system tray...it uses a USB connection and
everything was working fine prior to the Microsoft Update. That's why I
assumed the firewall was blocking it. Anyhow, as for "hearing" the computer
block it, when I hit the hotsync button on the cradle, I hear a couple of
beeps from the computer...it's the sound of the computer saying "NO"...sounds
kind of like a "bonk" sound (low pitch).
I looked on Palm's help pages, as well as Handspring's. I can't believe no
one else has had this problem, but I didn't find any help.
Thanks again for any help you can offer.
