Activesync (over WIFI) lockup after automatic sync

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I've had the same problem on the excact same configuraion. I also have
the problem that when I try to install programs onto the PDA, these
programs' setup hangs on the PC. If I look in the task manager of my PC
I can see the setup.exe file running, but nothing happens. I've also had
problems with Bluetooth, in the sense that if the connection is
interrupted for any reason, the PC will not respond to the PDA's
connection attempt again until after reboot, but then again I suppose
that's not really a PDA problem
