Windows VISTA Mobile Wireless Sync

Hi All,

I read through the Windows Mobile Wireless Networking Tutorial stickied in this forum (as well as tons of other materials I found via Google) but I keep getting stuck trying to figure out how to wirelessly sync my HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC with my Windows Vista computer! (Cabled sync works fine, btw.) The biggest problem is all the Win XP tutorials have you go into ActiveSync and click Tools > Options. Well, Windows Vista's ActiveSync center doesn't HAVE any Tools or Options menu. It's very frustrating.

So, is there anyone out there who has written up or discovered how to get an iPAQ or other mobile device to sync via wifi to a Vista PC?

The only other thing I can think of is trying to set up a VPN to my computer and have the iPAQ log into that... but I don't exactly know how to set up a VPN, and I'm not sure it would work anyway, or if it's the best/most effective/easiest way to get it done.

Thanks.

Well, I've done some more research. From what I read, Windows Vista does not support wifi sync unless your device is running Windows Mobile 6.

If anybody can confirm this, or has figured out a workaround, I'd love to know.

Thanks.
