Hmm, I have experienced some cases where the computer and the palm get confused and neither will transfer data (as you describe). Usually the fix for this is to "rmmod" the usb and adaptor related modules and power off the palm. Then, "modprobe" the appropriate modules again (checking /var/log/messages to make sure all is well) and then power on the palm and try again. Other than that, it may be just a difference in the way the Belkin adaptor works (and thus totally un-related to my experiences). Good luck!
