| Alright, been trying to create a partnership with my laptop-no serial port. I have a USB to serial adapter that I have been trying with no success. When I plug the Jornada (680e BTW) into the laptop, it tries to connect atomatically, so I think the cable is working. The laptop just says it can't recognize the device. HELP! Please.
Newest version of activesync being used.
Thanks,
Moe |

| Try to use Infrared port then  I successfully connect J690 with my Notebook using USB to serial adapter (I use BAFO BF-810 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=166842&CatId=464)
Have you check the USB-Serial adapter work properly? |

For some reason the 680 likes the 3.X sync software and does not work at all for me with anything higher. I would say to try 3.8 and it should work. |

| I had similar problems with my serial-to-USB adapter until I got one with a driver included. Even though I have XP, it doesn't seem to include compatible drivers for serial adapters. Once I installed the driver, it worked fine, and I haven't had a problem since (except that, sometimes, it doesn't initiate ActiveSync on its own and I have to click on "Get Connected"; I think that having multiple partnerships on the same computer may be a factor ).  |

| I am using 3.8, sorry, thought that was the latest version. I do not have an IR port. I really don't want to spend $40 on another adapter that isn't going to work either. Ughh. |

| It is, apparently, the cable. G/F's Clie pops up "found new hardware" through the USB cord, but putting it through the same adapter cable (Clie can do either USB or serial ) dosen't do anything. Will look for a new adapter tomorrow I guess.  |

| Uh-ha, figured as much, taka a very very close look at the pins on the cable, they may be a little bent. Other than that; you will need a new cable. here is a link for one for $20. I bought cables for the MP 790 and they came very fast.

| Fixed, thanks for the help. The new adapter let me connect just long enough to create a partnership. Thank you cord, now I can wi-fi. Thanks again. |
