Troubleshooting

Often applications refuse to synchronize. Vendors often give you the bad advice to turn off your firewall. Instead, you can just open the specific ports required by your handheld.

Click Start, and then click My Network Places.
Under Network Tasks, click View Network Connections. (Or, right-click My Network Places on the desktop, and then click Properties.)
