Wireless sync on Windows 8

jmbutler · 17th February 2012, 18:21

Has anyone had any luck getting wireless sync to work with a PC running Windows 8 Developer Preview?

I've tried every trick I could find -- making sure media sharing is enabled, renaming and disabling network connections, disabling firewalls, etc -- and I cannot, no matter what, get the PC to discover my Android phone or tablet.

This worked OK (albeit buggy as hell) when I was on Win7, but haven't gotten it to work once on Win8. Is that the culprit here? Anyone else with similar experiences?

Thanks!
Jon

I installed the newly released Windows 8 Consumer Preview last night, and still no dice. I cannot get WinAmp to detect my Atrix via WiFi no matter what I try.

Any suggestions at all?
