[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Axim X30 ActiveSync over Bluetooth problem

Hi,

I just got a new Dell Axim X30 and just purchased Missing Sync. So far 
I've had no problems when syncing via USB, but I am having some trouble 
with bluetooth. I followed the steps outlined in the manual (and in the 
online knowledgebase), and when I click on my ActiveSync bluetooth 
shortcut on my Pocket PC, my Axim DOES connect to my Mac over 
bluetooth. In the bluetooth section of my System Preferences (on the 
mac), I can see that it's connected, and on the Axim a dialogue pops up 
saying it's connecting, and then connection established. However, a 
second dialogue then pops up on the Axim labled "Connect To" and says 
"Status: Connecting to Host" with buttons to "cancel" and "hide 
status". This second connection never seems to work. When I go the 
ActiveSync application, it says "Not Connected" at the top, and Missing 
Sync never sees the Axim either.

I'm assuming this second connection is ActiveSync trying to establish a 
connection with Missing Sync over the bluetooth connection. Do I have 
something misconfigured or need to do anything special on Missing Sync 
(besides making sure the "enable bluetooth syncing" preference is 
checked, which it is) for ActiveSync to see it?

Thanks,
Neil
