I am running Windows Vista along with BD Internet Security 2008. I cannot establish a connection between my Treo (running Windows Mobile 5.0 with Active Sync) and Windows Mobile Device Center on the PC.


I have consulted the help file which says the following:


Open the following ports for all programs in the PC firewall:


990: open inbound TCP port


999: open inbound TCP port


5678: open inbound TCP port


5679: open outbound UDP port


5721: open inbound TCP port


26675: open inbound TCP port


I don't know how to do this. Instead, I have added to my Firewall Traffic exceptions "wmdc.exe", the Windows Mobile Device Center application. See the attached JPG. I still cannot connect my Treo to synchronize with Outlook. Any ideas what I am doing wrong.


Thanks in advance.
