In need of some help, just loaded avantgo on a new pc and when i attempt a hotsynch i get error 5455 failed mal server. I've used this on my older pc with no problems and can still hotsynch- its just the newer computer. thanks in advance for the help.

I've been getting this same error most of today. The main Avantgo web site seems to be down as well. My guess is that the problem is on their end... perhaps their servers took the day off or something...

Just a follow up... When I tried to HotSync this afternoon, Avantgo connected and then gave me an "Account Locked" error. The web site is working today and I was able to log into my account. I'll try again later I guess. Anyone else having this problem today?

Are you using AOL? I had the same problem and I think it has to do with AOL. I work around it by logging on first and hotsyncing while online. I went into hotsync manager>custom and selected mobilelink to "do nothing" as default. That way I don't get that error every time I hotsync. When I want to download from Avantgo, I just select mobilelink to download on the next hotsync, log on, and then hotsync. If I hotsync again during the same day, I am already defaulted in mobilelink to do nothing and I don't get the error. Hope this helps.
