Hi,

Can we use the same PC and connect to 2 IPAQs?

A mate of mine asks me to install some software to his IPAQ, when I connect
his IPAQ to my PC it doesn't recognise that as a PocketPC, but just an
unknown USB device.

Thanks
Sonny Giang

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.

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 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.

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