The following information was provided by Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) on the microsoft.public.pocketpc newsgroup: With the imminent public release of the final version XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), users should be aware of the new Windows Firewall (the replacement for the old Internet Connection Firewall) that is enabled automatically during !installation and upon subsequent startups of the PC. The Windows Firewall WILL block ActiveSync and Connection Manager ports on the PC. If installed correctly, the firewall should prompt the user if both the Connection Manager and ActiveSync should be UNBLOCKED. Answer YES to both. If the Windows Firewall does not prompt the user, then the user !can manually add both Connection Manager and ActiveSync to the Windows Firewall Exceptions list. Use the following paths to configure the firewall… ActiveSync.. C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe Connection Manager… C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\wcescomm.
