I know that some people have successfully synchronized over WiFi as an
alternative to ActiveSync. Could someone who is knowledgeable on this
subject please provide some detailed instructions?

My 2410 locks-up in the cradle and HP hasn't got the slightest idea
why. It's the only bug I'm experiencing and I really don't want to
give this thing up.

Thanks,

A_C

Thanks.

I followed these instructions to the letter and ActiveSync failed with
an error. "Unable to connect. Verify your dialup or proxy settings are
correct".

I think the culprit may be Norton Anti virus 2005. Even though I
disabled Auto Protect, I found the following in my connection log:

--
1) "Details: An instance of "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
ActiveSync\WCESCOMM.EXE" is preparing to access the Internet."

2) "Details: No logged in account. The present default action is to
"block" communications. Local address: All local network
adapters(5679).
Process name is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESCOMM.EXE."
--

Problem is, I have no idea how to troubleshoot an issue like this.

Advice greatly appreciated.

I don't use Norton but these pages from Chris De Herrera's site may be of some help...

Good luck...

Not applicable, as I'm not running Norton Firewall.

Thanks anyway.

I haven't read the responses carefully, but my WiFi (802.11b) synch works
well on my iPaq 5550.

It is critically important that you sync to a "work" setting. ("my work
networks" in Windows Mobile). "my ISP" (the other choice) will not work.

Later re-reading noted that

This is not my situation. I use ActiveSync. My comments are about using
ActiveSync via WiFi. If your are using another sync mechanism, then my
information is not helpful.
