ActiveSync 4.0: No More WiFi Sync
A few months ago I installed the Activesync 4.0 beta, and I was no longer able to sync over my wireless LAN to my desktop.
I put this down to it being a buggy new version and assumed it would be fixed... well I found out from Microsoft yesterday that this feature has been removed for security reasons!
It would have been nice to have a 'Firewall' feature defaulted to 'on', but Microsoft seem to want to plug all security holes.
This is a great pity, since it was quick and convenient to deploy and debug over the network. Apparently Bluetooth will still work though, as will of course syncronization with an Exchange Server.
