There are four applications and six ports that will require firewall permissions. The four applications are WCECOMM.EXE, WCESMgr.EXE, RAPIMgr.EXE, and CEAPPMgr.EXE. These need to have exceptions. The six ports are 990, 999, 5678, 5721, and 26675 (Inbound TCP), plus 5679 (Outbound UDP). These need to be opened for ActiveSync traffic.
Also, you need to find out which COM port your PC's Bluetooth adapter is using, and then set that in ActiveSync's Connection Settings (File\Connection Settings).
If you are running Norton AntiVirus, check to see if it has an applet called Internet Worm Protection. If so, this may have to be disabled as it sees ActiveSync as a threatening script. This only applies to certain versions of Norton A/V.
Before you can run a Bluetooth ActiveSync, you must have completed at least one successful tethered ActiveSync.
These are the most common things that I have found while providing user support for Windows Mobile 5 and ActiveSync 4.1/4.2 installed on a major hardware platform. I hope this helps. Good luck!
