I'm getting a bit closer to getting ActiveSync working, but not quite 
there. I can now get the device to show up in the ActiveSync folder and 
choose what directories etc to sync. The problem is the device still 
refuses to "can't connect to server" yet it clearly has opened a 
connection otherwise it couldn't have registered the DeviceID with the 
server.
