Jeyo Mobile Extender and Windows 7 (Firewall)

Jeyo Mobile Extender allows you to sync and send SMS as if they are email using Outlook. In fact, its a good SMS backup tool as well for your PDA / Windows Mobile.

However, there seems to be a problem detecting the mobile device in Windows 7. I did some check and eventually found out that it was due to a firewall issue in Windows 7. So, this probably only affect people who are using Windows 7 default firewall. However, if you do encounter such an issue, you can try this out on your 3rd party firewall as well.
