Unable to Copy From PC to PDA

This should be simple to solve but I can't find the answer elsewhere:


I have an HP PDA, my friend has the same or almost the same PDA,
running the same OS.


We both have the same version of Active Sync. We're both running XP
on our desktop.


I can copy files to my PDA. He can't.


For him:


Using edit/copy on the PC doesn't enable paste on the PDA. Dragging
from a PC window to an Active Sync window shows the international no
symbol meaning "you can't drop that here."


I can edit/copy and edit/paste without problem. I can drag and drop.


What gives?


TIA,
-Scott

Does he have a firewall blocking access?

Good question. I hadn't thought of that. Anyone know whether it's
common for a ffirewall to interfere with communication between PDAs
and PCs?
