DNS problem with ActiveSync 3.8 Pass-Through

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Do you have a personal firewall software installed? Since the ActiveSync
update have you changed the configuration to allow ActiveSync connections?

The DNS problem can still be a firewall problem - the server may not be
receiving the UDP requests to DNS.

Some firewalls store a checksum for each app authorised to access network
resources. Perhaps Activesync 3.8 is blocked since it's different from
ActiveSync 3.7? I'd check the Windows XP firewall first, then AV2005, then
firewall.

The rule for UDP should be ok. Are you connected directly to the Internet,
or is it through a router?
