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.

Hello again Don
No joy I'm afraid. 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?
