Hi there, I'm trying to connect a compaq ipaq to my 4550 thru the com port. Active sync cannot detect the device although the ipaq says it is trying to connect when I tell the 4550 to search for it.

Hi,

If you are using a serial cable to connect, do you have a null ( crossover ) cable?

Darrell,

no idea what a serial cable or a crossover cable is, I'm using the standard cable that comes with the ipaq. Thanks for your help...
