SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to synchronize a Handheld PC (H/PC) or Palm-size PC (P/PC) with a desktop or laptop computer, you may receive a message on the desktop or laptop computer stating that two or more network adapters are present.

When you click OK, the H/PC or P/PC does not synchronize with the desktop or laptop computer.
