Can't connect Windows Mobile 6.1 to Windows Mobile Center

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that I need to connect to Windows Mobile Center via Blutooth.

Note: The same steps Works with a Windows Mobile 5.1 device in the same computer, and I tested with two different computers.

  1. I can pair the PC and the PDA without problem.
  2. In the PC I run Windows Mobile Center.
  3. In the PDA I run ActiveSync and select "Connect via Bluetooth".
  4. The PDA open a window with the text "Openning port...".
  5. The text changes to "User authenticated".
  6. The window closes, and a full screen message with title "Synchronization Error" and text "This device is not allowed to connect to desktop computer" appears.

The PDA is a new and clean device. The computer isn't connected to Active Directory Domain. It has Windows 7 (the two computers tested)

I thing this is a security configuration, but I can't disable or grant access. The pair Works without any error, and I can see the pair settings on the PC and on the PDA.

Thanks for your help!

Solution

  • In the end the problem was that the device was locked for security. The manufacturer sent me a cab to disable security, which in this case only annoyed.

    If someone has the same problem, send me an email to duefectu(a)sd-a.com and I will forward the file.

    Thanks for your time!
