Activesync....

[Dave_RAYNET]

Does anyone know why when i plug my phone into the computer Activesync comes up and windows turns my firewall off.....

[Valerian]

I use Zonealarm as my Firewall and Activesync doesn't turn that off.
Which Firewall program are you using Dave?

I cant use active sync at all with my windows based pda, cant even get it recognised at all to see the pda

The windows Firewall is Kurap.....turn it off and try one of the free third part ones.
The only time i've ever had an issue with activesync not connecting was when i mistakenly didn't give Zonealarm permission to grant it access.

Which version of Windows are you both using?

[Drift]

Im on vista but running AVG pro Anti Virus and all the toys.

[Drift]

its my AVG firewall, but not sure how to work around it without disabling it.

[Dave_RAYNET]

I'm using XP Pro and Win7.

I have tried tp firewalls before, didn't think too much of them to be honest. Zone alarm over complicates matters, especially as i have several network connections, 2 servers and 3 VPNs.

XP Pro,Standard Microshaft protection & Active Syc 4.5...........plug n go
