SYMPTOMS
When you cancel a connection with a desktop computer, you may not be able
to use ActiveSync to synchronize the computers.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the ActiveSync program is still attempting to
make a connection.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
- Wait two minutes for the ActiveSync program to time out.
- Make sure the computer you connect to is available on the network.
- Tap Start, tap Programs, tap Communication, and then tap ActiveSync. If
you are prompted to choose a method to connect to the desktop computer,
tap the desktop computer to which you want to connect in the
Connect To box, and then tap Connect.
