Hi
I am also having major NT/XDA serial connection problems on my
work laptop.
I am using a genuine sync and charge serial cable.
If I try the serial sync on my Me machine it connects.
The com1 port is coming back as available, but will not sync
It looks like an NT issue and I would really apppreciate any
help in resolving it.
Thanks
Ric

Having just bought my XDA, I am keen to synchronise it with my
Windows NT laptop. Therefore splashed out on a Serial cradle,
connected it to the COM port - ran ActiveSync, and get nowhere -
ActiveSynch just keeps telling me "Your device was not
detected", and that "COM 1" and "COM 2" are available...
Any ideas?
I have plugged the serial wire into my XP desktop, and
everything just fires up and synchronises immediately, so
presumably the problem is with my NT settings? I have check the
COM port basic settings which seem to be the same on both XP and
NT...I am stuck, and the O2 support line are stuck. HELP!!!
Cheers,
Stew

We've observed some peculiar behaviour with the XDA serial port.
It seems to wake up only when it detects sufficient voltage, and
the port can be hard to wake up from the outside once it decides
the serial port is not connected. Probably a battery-saving
'feature'.
Does your device wake up from sleep when you stick it in the
cradle? It should wake up when it sees the computer's DTR.

Interesting point.
When I put the switched off XDA into the (seemingly identical)
USB cradle, it immediatly switches itself on. The same doesn't
happen with the Serial cradle. But I have tried switching the
XDA on manually, and it makes no difference...not sure what DTR
is??
Thanks....

Try turning off the Infra Red Receiving option under
Start/settings/connections/beam. Until I did this, when I tried
to connect my GPS to com1 it was unavailable . I also turned of
the 'Enable synchronisation when cradled using:' in the Active
Sync options although you might want to set it to an appropriate
serial baud rate.

I too have an NT4 SP5 laptop Tecra 8100, with Activezsync 3.5.
However my serial connection is fine.
The only time I've had occasional problems is when trying to
connect via the docking station and being on the corporate LAN.
I se default settings in ActiveSync.

HI
I posted a couple of days ago with a serial connection problem
on my work laptop AS 3.5/6 to NT 4.00 1381 sp6
I discovered the modem was on com1
I created com2 pushed the modem onto com2 rebooted and it worked
fine.
It seems that com1 must be dedicated to AS or it will not play.
Give it a go
Let me know how you get on with a post here

You could also try USB for NT4.0 by bsquare.com. It makes the
usb port usable for certain devices, like cradles. Works perfect
with my MDA.
Hello,
Ever since I updated my T-Mobile XDA to the 2003 Rom, my active sync will not recognize the device while hooked up to my PC via USB. I saw someone posted a similar problem, but solved it by disabling their computers firewall. I have tried this and still no luck.
Can anyone offer any further assistance for me?
Thanks
I am using an XDA2 with a newly upgraded 1.60.00WWE ROM and was really pleased to see the update to Bluetooth to allow serial connections in this release.
I have a fax application on my laptop and want to connect the comport on the laptop to the BT comport on the XDA2
I click on the new checkbox 'Inbound Com Port' and everything seems well.
If I set up a dialup networking connection to an ISP, or try to fax, the port opens successfully but no data is passed from the XDA back to the PC, so the PC always thinks there is a hardware failure.
The same connection works well with a Nokia (but who wants to use a Nokia?
Anyone else having this problem, or can anyone offer some advice to get this running?
Mark.
O2 XDA2 on Orange
i have recently updated to the WM2003 rom and noticed that there was a a CSD settings under connection settings. I was wondering how i can use my xda to connect my computer to the internet. do i have to buy additional cables or is the sync cradle enough.
Could someone also teach me how to use this feature
thanks in advance

you have to use wmodem s/w in PPC2002 only, it doesn't exist in any WM2003 ROM except the german ones or in XDA II
Exactly, as Bisc007 says, it can only be done with wmodem with some extra string settings on PC, or using serial cable and software available from wiki. XDA does not dial wireless connection while connected to PC by Activesync.
