Blackjack 1

[cdoublejj]

the windows mobile center "thingy" for syncing smart phones starts to connect to my blackjack 1 but, after a while says error. there were drivers for xp but not vista or windows 7? If it is on the phone side then perhaps i need to confide in the smart phone gurus i used windows mobile 6.1 bogart but ithink he said it was the lastreasle of bogart.

Hi cdoublejj - welcome to the site :ciao:

Here is something I found on vista problems from another forum it may help here

I have just spent the last couple hours trying to get my BlackJack to sync with newly installed Vista. I've installed, uninstalled, restarted, restarted, etc. Happy to report that I found out where my problem was.

I use Windows Live OneCare. When I connect the BlackJack it pops up an alert that I'm connected to a unsecured network and changes my Firewall "slider" setting to restricted. After some trial an error I managed to figure out that I needed to uncheck a selection.

In the OneCare settings I moved the firewall protection level slider back down to automatic and in other settings I unchecked "automatically change my Firewall protection lever when I connect to an unsecured network".

That did it however I'm not sure why Windows thinks that the BlackJack is an unsecured network?

well it would show up in device manager as unknown. also unrelated think i might be having FW issues with telnet i heard it has security issues or is the security issue.
trying myBJ1 with both firewalls disabled.

EDIT firewalls have no effect it still says error
