OneCare may block you WMDC

[Guest]

I've been trying to get WMDC to work with my i730 for a long time now. Just
discovered the main problem because of someone on the WMDC team. I've had
OneCare for a while now and it seems to block the Network Adapter.

Uninstalled OnceCare and my i730 is now connecting. WMDC is a bit slow and
unstable compared to ActiveSync, but I'm sure they will work it out.

Thanks to the team! And maybe this tip will help others get their device
connected for testing.

Cheers!

The solution for the Windows Mobile Device Center blocked by the firewall is
located in the Help Text for WLDC. As for Windows Live OneCAre, there is a
discussion about it (and the solution) here:

I suspect that this will be handled by a firewall rule in OneCare soon.
