"Once upon a time" when I was using Windows XP I was able to sync my phone with my home computer from anywhere using an application called "USB to Ethernet Connector". It (I mean the application) basically shared my current USB connection over the ethernet and I was able to map it back home as real USB port.
For some time now I'm using Windows Vista. It is all ok with "USB to Ethernet Connector" except that the Vista's "Sync Center" does not recognize my device. It appears as "Windows Mobile-based device" in my Device Manager but it cannot sync.
Can anyone suggest where the problem might be?
P.S. Settings
Windows Vista Firewall - disabled
Windows Vista Defender - disabled
Symantec Endpoint Protection - Installed with Firewall disabled
up up up up up
vista changed a lot about security from xp
so
1. the program would have to be remade to work with the new security model
or
2. the vista security model is too strict for the program ever to work
I don't think that security is the problem here. Otherwise it won't work at all. My USB stick and the Bluetooth dongle work.
There is "Windows Mobile-based device" in my Device Manager.
So obviously the problem is with the Vista's Sync Centero or within it's settings.

I recently flashed my ROM from WM5 to WM 6. Thank you XDA. The problem I am having is now my Vista Computer won't connect with my MDA. Before the Flash it snyc fine. I uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled it and nothing. WMDC is aweful, Active Sync is great. Help maybe it is some kind of trick to get Vista to recognize it again with the new flashed WM6.
make sure you are using Active Sync. ver 4.5.....?
with some roms you have to uncheck the box "USB-PC" Found in settings/system/or sometimes found in connections,"USB-PC" and uncheck Enable advanced Network functionality. Then try and Sync
I can't use Active Sync with Win Vista. Any other suggestions..?
Then restore Vista to when it was working.
I'm also having trouble with Vista Ultimate (x64 and x32) and my Wizard (Octavoi's ROM)
It sees my device for a few seconds and then it closes.. The WMDC doesn't see my device at all...
The Event Viewer shows the following:
Windows Mobile-based USB device is plugged in but is unable to make a network connection to the desktop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I've tried to uncheck the 'Advanced Network Functionality', but that also doesn't seem to work.....
Firewall could be the culprit.
Check your settings in your firewall. If you have Windows OneCare that would also interupt your connection with WMDC. But with any firewall program make sure that it allows or is in the trusted mode for any Windows Mobile Device.
I have Windows Live One Care but I don't think that's the problem.
I turned it off and tried to connect... without succes
But I'll give it a try again this afternoon.
i'm the other way, i went from vista to xp at work because of stupid autocad 2008 problems (don't get me started) and i prefer wmdc over activesync.. i have ver 4.5 and i have issues like it sometimes will randomly disconnect or won't complete a sync. other times i have no issue though. I never had a problem on vista with wmdc.
when i first hooked up my pda in vista it would load the driver in vista but, wouldn't connect, turned out it was loading an older driver and i manually updated to the newest one and just like that it was connecting, later i downgraded the driver to be able to update the rom and it was still working.

Where did you get the newer drivers from?
Try this :
Go to device manager in Vista
While connecting your wizard the device manager should refresh and add a 'MS Windows Mobile Remote Adapter'
Now right-click that adapter and choose 'uninstall'.
Vista will add the device again and soon after WMDC should connect.
At least it worked for me...

I tried the same, but without luck.
Ok, I've flashed my phone and now it seems to work with Octaivoi 6.3!!
I am working on Windows 7 Enterprise and am doing XP virtual machine.
When i connect the device with USB enabled in ActiveSync, the device can be selected in the virtual XP USB dropdown menu. When it is off, I cannot get it to show up so that I can use MTTY to flash. Was wondering if others have experienced this or something similar? or maybe some big brains had some ideas?
thank you
Hello,
After I created a new install of Windows 7, I'm not able to sync my Touch Pro.
If I boot on my previous Windows 7 installation (I kept it on the same computer), sync is OK.
I uninstalled (and reinstalled) many times WMDC, "PocketPC USB sync" and "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" drivers.
There is some trouble : obviously WMDC doesn't recognize my device.
Both "USB to PC" modes are not able to start WMDC.
Any help?
If you have the Pro version, you should be able to run a virtualized instance of XP, and therefore set it up under as ActiveSync in XP. That is with the official release from what we trained on, 22nd is that date... This allows ANY program to run that was supported by XP 100%
I'm using Windows 7 on my laptop and PC, sync with TP no problem at all. I've done installation on few computers too and they are all good. Things that you might check:
- Check your USB Sync cables and/or your USB port, just to make sure
- Open Windows Mobile Device Center and delete all partnership, then reconnect back
- If possible, try to change your TP ID, so that Windows recognize different device.
Hope it helps.
To supratt93 :
Good idea I'm going to try this
To u2pop :
- I've 2 Win7 installed with a boot selector. Sync works with the forst one and not with the other one, so the cables and USB ports are OK.
- I have never been able to create a partnership. Win7 installed the drivers and WMDC never started. Something goes wrong with the installation of the drivers
- Sometimes I receive a message telling me about a problem with installed drivers (nothing about which device is concerned)
I solved my problem today:
After a reinstallation of the last chipset drivers of my Asus P5k motherboard and a reboot, WMDC started and allowed me to sync my Touch Pro.
I hope that will help someone!
I know that this is solved, however I had the same problem.
I reinstalled WMDC, etc.
In the end a simple swap of the usb port that the USB cable was plugged into and it solved the problem.
I'm having problems connecting my Zinc II via USB to my laptop.
My Zinc is running a custom 6.1 ROM by I-Mono-I version "20771" and the ROM version is "Zinc II VER 010 WWE 230 0825"
I can connect it to the family PC that is running Windows Vista no problem, however when I try to connect it to my laptop running Windows 7 it won't connect. Both PC's are using Windows Mobile Device Centre and my laptop is running version 6.1.6965 and Windows update does not show any updates for it.
When plugged in to Vista it shows up in the device manager as "Zinc II" under "Portable Devices" but on Windows 7 it shows up as "Microsoft Window Remote Adaptor" under "Network adapters"
I have tried rebooting both devices and uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Centre multiple times.
One last thing, the option "USB Advanced Network Functionality" does not appear in settings so I can't enable/disable it.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also is there a way to get back "USB Advanced Network Functionality" on my phone or any software that will act as a replacement??
bump, anyone have any ideas?
I'm really having problems with this
Hi, I bought a HD2 through Ebay and didn't get the getting started CD. I installed activesync 4.5 on my XP and WMDC 6.1.6965 on my vista. Both computer do not recognize htc device thru USB saying unknown device for a few minutes then stops, tab says "one of the usb devies attached to comp has malfunctioned (USB not recognized)
Have tried :
1) USB to PC - unclicking faster data sync, hard resets, reinstalling WMDC and active sync
2) changing power options to usb to disable selective suspend
3) close zone alarm and window firewalls
4) taken out SD card
5) tried WMDC 6.0, active sync 4.2
5) followed this website hxxp:/pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/wmdc/services.htm and trialled the batch.
Batch said UPnP service name invalid so I installed uPnP tester from:
hxxp://download.cnet.com/Universal-Plug-and-Play-Tester/3000-2651_4-10504740.html
Batch file continues to say Windows mobile 2003-based device connectivity and windows mobile-based device connectivity as invalid, but i cant find a way to install/update these from microsoft website or through the web.
Note: when i install WMDC driver software installation successfully, under unidentified device.
Version T-mobile: OS 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89) ROm 2.13.531.1. (im in Australia if that makes any difference)
I want to be able to sync to a computer either xp or vista. Could it be my device or is my setup wrong? Thanks for help in advance
I'm having the exact same problem except with my Fuze running Tael Rom.
Help, anyone?
