Ok, so this does indeed seem to have been a step in the right direction. When I disabled the advanced network functionality (unchecked the usb to pc checkbox) the computer saw the charger and installed a driver... then still didn't connect.

So then (with the phone still plugged in) I reenabled the advanced network functionality and then the PC saw the charger and ACTUALLY CONNECTED to the phone. "MyMobiler" connected, Mobile Device Center saw it, and my Omnia was listed in "My Computer".... for about 5 seconds, then it disconnected. By repeating the steps I am able to get it to do this every time - it will actually connect for 3-5 seconds, not long enough to be at all useful. But long enough to have my hopes up again.

So thank you Ra... do you (or anyone else) have any ideas from this point?

Take care,
Rob
