I have either the same or a similar problem.
I managed to sync once with outlook when I just got the phone and that was it. Now everytime I try to sync it fails or doesn't get far. If I watch the infra-red icon in the taskbar, it connects (sometimes) where you see the two IR icons flashing between them. This normally last a few seconds and then it drops the connection and just gives me the single IR icon, telling me the T68 is in range. And because of that the sync fails.
This happens with all the Ericsson software (I downloaded the T65 pack) and fails on the Outlook syncronization software and the Ericsson Phonebook manager and the Phone manager.
I have tried changing every speed and possbile driver configuration but to no avail.
I can however dial up fine and transfer files fine. So I reckon there is something wrong in the way the Ericsson software handles IRDA. Either that or its a driver thats buggered on my machine. However the IRDA works fine for laptop to laptop and laptop to my old Nokia 7110.
I also have a dell (Latitude C800) so maybe its the dell. I am running W2K-Pro. Am going to possibly upgrade to XP in the misguided hope it will help if/when I get a chance

Managed to get it to sync once then it stopped working. Removed the whole Ericsson & XTND software and reinstalled, it worked. But ONLY ONCE! Keeps geeting "This action cannot be completed because the application...... Switch or Retry??" Then it goes "Unable to communicate with Phone...Ensure able connection..."!!!
This is frustrating. I bought the T68 in order to sync with my Outlook!

Ok I think I have it figured out.
Something in the T65 software buggers things up.
I have now got it all working every time and at 115200 bps.
- I unistalled everything.
- I installed the T68 Sync Software (Package_1_for_Ericsson_PFW_version_R2A04.exe)
- I installed the T68 driver (Package_5_for_Ericsson_PFW_version_R2A04.exe)
- I installed the T65 software pack (Package_4_for_Ericsson_PFW_version_R2A04.exe)
- I installed the T68 Sync Software (Package_1_for_Ericsson_PFW_version_R2A04.exe)
- I installed the T68 driver (Package_5_for_Ericsson_PFW_version_R2A04.exe)
Now I am sure there is a way to streamline this, but its now all working, so I think its something about installing the 'offical' T68 software after installing the T65 stuff

I've just written to Sonyericsson about this.
I use WIN ME,..they told me to go with the T-65 package_4.
Unless you want to use the T-68 as a modem, you should not need to install modem drivers.
If you will use T-68 as modem,..you need to download the modem-drivers for T-68.
This should work according to Ericsson.
On for example WIN ME.
You should try and write them about WIN XP.

I stand corrected. Dont know what I did yesterday, but I am back to it will only work once after an install. Then I need to unistall and reinstall to get it to work.
The software works after that. For about 1 second and then drops the IR connection. Really damn annoying.
i will try contacting Ericsson. Although I think you gave the wrong address and it should be

I have the same problem but I use a Toshiba Tecra 8100 w/ Windows XP Professional. It did work the first time, and last night while i'm connected to our Exchange Server via dial-up. Looks like the T68 IrDA gets screwed up with a fast connection. My Toshiba has FIR.

ArnoldC : Is there any chance, that you can change the settings to SIR instead ?
FIR should be too fast for T-68,..thats what I've read/heard in here.
