Yes, but not at the same time.

Make sure your iPAQ is not connected at the same time. If that
is not the problem, see if the suggestions on
http://www.cewindows.net/faqs/activesync/usbissues.htm will help
you.

I would like to get this going as well.

I have two e750's, one will connect and sync OK,
the other will connect as guest only. Only one
at a time, of course. Two different device names.

If I delete the partnership, I can get the one that wouldn't
sync before to sync OK, and then the other one becomes
the Guest, so it's not a hardware issue.

Happens with USB connection or 802.11.

Yes, I did try that.
I disconnected my IPAQ (4150) and connected his IPAQ(1930) to the same( and
also different) USB port. My computer still didn't recognize his device.

I ended up copy the software to give it to him to try at his own PC.

Might be I did something wrong, BTW my OS is W2k Professional and his is XP

I really don't know what is happening there. I sync about 4 different
devices to one desktop, and never had one not recognized.
