If I go to activesync and hit the sync now button it just gets stuck on "connecting". As soon as I remove from the cradle it connects fine.
Any thoughts?

I just figured it out. The problem seems to be caused by the USB to PC item in the Settings --> Connections tab. I disabled the "Enable advanced network functionality" item and the computer redetected the PPC (new hardware) and then exchange started syncing over USB.
It was kinda strange, before I changed this the PPC would slow to a crawl any time activesync tried to do the exchange sync (I schedule it every 10 mins to save battery over direct sync).
Now this gives me a new question. What does this option do? Is that what enables me to use the phone as a wireless modem? I was using PDAnet before, but doesn't the new kitchen allow the phone to act as a modem without it?
