greetings,
I noticed when I did my weekly routine system-update, there was an
upgrade to synce-odccm. I tried it out, and there's noticable
improvement, even though we're still not up and running alltogether.
$ pacman -Qs odccm
local/synce-odccm 0.13-4
provide a means of communication with a Windows CE device - daemon
to communicate with a handheld device
$ sudo odccm -f -l 6
** (odccm:2209): DEBUG: _odccm_interface_address: waiting for IP

two things I notice right away. Before, there was an extra failure
notice about dbus not being compiled right and odccm actually failed
and returned to the command prompt. Now, odccm stays running until I
disable it. The connection to my mobile device appears to remain
stable and not drop out right away like before. I get the connection
chirp on my device, but the disconnect chime waits until I run
synce-serial-abort.
$ sudo synce-serial-start
Serial connection established.

Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB0

synce-serial-start is now waiting for your device to connect

Can you ping the device IP at this point ?
Also check the output of iptables -L again.

I'm not overly familiar with ping. I skimmed the manual, but if you need different output, let me know.
