Force Zune to Sync Lumia - WORKS!

Lost the original data cable of my Nokia Lumia 610 and replacement cable I bought only charges the battery! At first there seems to be no way to force Zune to sync to my Lumia. You have to connect to AC power and wait 10 minutes! What a hassle. And sometimes it simply doesn't sync.

Now, I've discovered a real working way to force the sync.

1. Make sure your computer recognizes the active network as a Home Network. The sync will not work on Work or Public networks.
2. Plug in your phone to AC power and make sure it is connected to the same (home) network as your computer.
3. Close Zune (if already open) and start it again.
4. Eureka! It zyncs immediately!
