If the option Network Connection is not listed as a connection method in
the ActiveSync

TM

dialog box when starting synchronization, wait for a few

minutes and try again. Also, if synchronization does not start right away,
the network is probably busy, and it may take a minute for your device to
connect to the network.

Verify your user name and password with your network administrator.

Verify with your network administrator that the network you are trying to
connect is available, or try to connect to it using another device or from a
