Hi!
I am having similar problems with Hotsync'ing my new T3 via the IBM docking station. It hotsync's totally fine when directly connected to the laptop, but not via the dock. I'm running Win2000 on the ThinkPad.
I tried the steps suggested by Mooseman to Tweety's original post and here's what happens:
- When I first connect the hotsync cable to the USB port on the dock and hit the hotsync button, the system recognizes new hardware. The device manager creates a new section called "Palm OS Handheld Devices" with one entry in it (Palm) that has the question mark superimposed with the yellow exclamation mark.
- It tells me to reboot, which I do
- After reboot, the new "Palm" section disappears and instead moves the device with the yellow exclamation mark down to the USB controller section
- This entry soon disappears, so that now I have no entry whatsoever for the Palm
I then tried to hit the hotsync button again and noticed that the above cycle is repeated. At the end, I get the message on the palm saying connection to the desktop could not be established.
Looking up the properties of the new entry "Palm OS Handheld Devices" when it appears ever so briefly, I see that it says "This device cannot start (Code 10)"
Any advice, aside from get a serial cable or connect to the laptop directly? I'm looking for a fast stable connection to the dock so I don't have to unplug the usb cable everytime I move the laptop.
Thanks in advance
Nadeem
