Thank You
The connection is exactly the same...i have xda2 - son has xda 1 both work!

The port setting is usually COM1.
Did you turn off START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>BEAM???
If the tick box is ticked IT WILL NOT WORK!
Also a good habit to adopt is to START>SETTING>SYSTEM>MEMORY>RUNNING PROGRAMS>STOP ALL.

One last thing....be patient- mine used to take sometimes nearly five minute to connect especially if it was raining / cloudy . first thing in the morning.
