I am trying to connect a Compaq Pocket PC to a Toshiba laptop running NT4. I have all the COM port settings correct (Baud, parity etc.) but Microsoft ActiveSync still cannot "see" the device. I seem to have been here before with problems in controlling the com port some years back. Any help much appreciated ! Dazmac

First of all, are you using ActiveSync 3.5?
If everything is set as default, then it should work. I had similar problem but older version of ActiveSync. Try getting download of latest version oc ActiveSync from MS.
