Resolving synchronization conflicts
If the same item (for example an appointment or a task) has been modified on
both your HP Jornada and desktop PC, ActiveSync indicates that a
synchronization conflict has occurred.
When the Resolve items message appears in the ActiveSync window, click it
to display the Resolve Conflict dialog box. To resolve the conflict, you must
specify one of the items to replace.
You can resolve each conflict manually at the time of synchronization, or you
can resolve conflicts automatically, by setting a default option for conflict
resolution.
To set a default option for conflict resolution
1. In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, click Options on the
Tools menu.
2. On the Rules tab, choose one of the options under Conflict
Resolution.
Synchronizing from a remote location
You can synchronize while connected to your desktop PC by a dial-up
(modem) connection or over a local area network (LAN). This can be useful if
you need to synchronize files or PIM information while traveling. Before you
leave, you must configure both your HP Jornada and your desktop PC.
On your HP Jornada
You must create a partnership between your HP Jornada and the desktop PC
using one of the direct connection methods (serial cable, USB cradle, or
infrared connection) described in this chapter. And you must configure a dial-
up or network connection on your HP Jornada, as described in chapter 4,
Connecting to the Internet or to a network.
On your desktop PC
Before you can synchronize remotely, the desktop PC or network server must
be configured to allow your HP Jornada to connect. If the desktop PC uses
Windows NT, you must install and configure Remote Access Services. If it
uses Windows 95/98, install and configure Dial-Up Networking.
You must also ensure that ActiveSync is configured to allow a network
connection. By default, ActiveSync allows a network connection; however, to
confirm the setting or to enable connection if it has been disabled, follow the
procedure below.
