What exact version are you using? What exact Windows version are you using? Also, don't use the latest Beta, it is broken in subtle ways, although it should...
You might want to un-install and then remove everything in the directory in which you did the install. Then carefully watch the first run of PDesk. If it...

I use PDesk and SP2, I can't remember if it ever gave me any grief. However, I'm wondering if the problem is that XP is blocking the port used to syncronize...
I'm running PDesk Beta 7 under Win XP SP2 with no problem. I suspect the problem halulikj is having was caused by installing SP2 *after* PDesk had been ...

If XP includes a firewall it might be blocking port 9000. Check the PDesk web site for the specific port: http://pdesk.sourceforge.net/drupal/?q= Judd On Mon,...

PDesk uses port 9999 to communicate with the hotsync plugin. PDesk (IMHO foolishly) assumes that ANY application using port 9999 is a prior incarnation of...
... I, too, am looking to Progect to replace Hi-Note. I don't think that my usage, however, match Progect's intended purpose (it being a project management...
Hello all, thank you for your comments. The problem would somewhere else. I have surely reinstalled the PDesk after SP2 installation, I am also not sure if the...
That is pretty much the issue. :-( The reason it is done poorly is that it is hard to do it well. :-) The conduit code is loaded by the Palm Sync daemon when...

What language(s) are the conduit and PDesk written in? What info is conveyed via the socket? (Once I know the answers to those two questions, I can give you...
Port 9999 revisited! Following on to my last message, in the last few minutes I have exited K9 and successfully run Pdesk!. It started off with the same error ...
Although this is the first Python program I've ever looked at, I decided to figure out why I couldn't type into PDesk on my system. I have (a Unicode build of)...
I'm wondering if we switched the domain from INET to whatever the local one is, if Windows wouldn't support it. I mean to look into that, but have not had time...
Sorry, kinda late!? I am using pdesk on SP2 winXP, I did have any problems. I received my laptop with SP2 (i.e. I didn't have to upgrade) and installed the...
Port 9999! I have installed a program called K9, which filters spam emails - guess what, it listens on Port 9999. I'll disbale it and see if that makes any...
The conduit is in C/C++. Pdesk is in Python. Which pretty much mean no clever Windows magic unless it is visible via wxPython. From a quick look at the code...

Ok Judd. It looks like I've got a 2-part suggestion for a fix: 1) Have PDesk open an arbitrary (ask for port zero and let the OS pick) listening port. (This...
Is there anything like /etc/services where all ports are registered? I suspect not; networking was pretty much bolted on to windows 3.x and did not get much...

Is anything using port 9999? That has been a common problem. What do you see in the PDesk logs? Or the HotSync logs? Is Pdesk running or not running when you...
