Connecting PDA to PC - newb question

[Matt_Hirst]

Right have just got a dell axim X5, have plugged crable into PC and put pda in.

Blue dell light comes on and windows goes through finding usb device, now here's the problem:

I bought the pda cheap and it came with no driver disk, I have done the usual searching of Dell and downloaded the updates for the machine but there is no driver as such - am I missing something.

Sorry for totally daft question.

regards,

Matt

Remove the PDA from the cradle.

Download and install Activesync 4.1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...ivesync41.mspx
Follow ALL installation prompts, including PC reset.
Connect your X5, and create a "Standard Partnership".

Once you're that far, all the selections for waht to sync are on the tools/options menus. Also make sure you select "Backup this device at reconnection" - trust me on that one!

Thanx for that, have installed the software and connected to my work network.

Another newb question, how do I connect to internet via works connection..

I have gone into settings, connections, connections , add a new modem connection - but the connection to the works newtwork is via the dell card in my pda which isn't an option on the modem list. Am I doing something stupid again???

When you sat card, which card make and model? It will not connect to the net unless you have an IR, USB or CF card (wi-fi, bluetooth etc etc) connection

If you mean when it's in the cradle, then you may have to adjust the setting in activesync: File>connection settings

I have a Dell True mobile 1180 CF card...
