No, you shouldn't have to run activesync at all as it's not involved. Did you try the hard reset?
I'm not sure if the server name is case sensitive or not. I think you said your firewall is off? I had to turn off windows xp firewall to get it to work here. How about anything in your router? Do you have a laptop and if so, can you connect with that? Dean seems to be the real network guru around here and he's supposed to be bak online Monday New Zealand time I believe.

When typing in the machine name (which is just the name I gave it, Dennis, with no extra stuff), I just get the cannot find network resource error, nothing else. Strange as the internet works fine. It's not something silly like ActiveSync having to have been set up first with a serial connection or something like that I wonder?
