Your rational discussion helped a great deal. After following your logic, and changing the ID in the suscom.inf file to read what my dcu-11 cable’s ID was (getting that from the device manager) what remained took me about two hours to figure out: namely, that I had to create, yes – create a com port, before I could liNK the dcu-11 to it!! MANY COMPUTERS ARE SHIPPED TODAY WITHOUT COM PORTS – i BOUGHT THE COMPAQ SR 1710NX FOR $400 AND CHANGE. iT HAS NO FLOPPY AND NO COM PORTS!! What remains is the issue of baud rates, (and RTS, and DTS for which I have found no control in win XP device manager).

The mobile Monitor works nicely to link to the correct com port. Once that was done, I directed the add hardware manager to re-install susteen.inf et al and I have my dcu-11 where it belongs in the LPT and Com port section of Device manager.

The troubleshooting button does nothing visible. The file Manager apparently does nothing visible. I have been working with FMA which is helpful but has no diagnostics. Any ideas would be helpful. I am very close to the solution, but stuck in limbo. I have connection but no recongition ==> no synching nor asynching.

you can try plugging your phone in then restarting your computer. sometimes the computer doesn’t recognize the connection.

also, there is a mucho mucho better application for interfacing with your phone at: http://fma.sourceforge.net

I followed your steps, but unfortunately it was to no avail. It still doesn’t recognize my phone…when i go under the myphones icon, it just simply says “not connected”. do you have any other tips? my warranty replacement phone is coming this week so i need to extract some of the pics movies, and ringtones if possible
