This problem can be very easily fixed:

Remove the PDA from the cradle, go to Settings/System/About/Device ID and change Pocket_PCX to the name of your choice. Then, upon the next synchronization, the desktop PC will also change the name it refers to the Pocket PC.

Try looking for an AKU2+ ROM version - hope someone has released such a hacked version. If there isn't, post some requests for a new, AKU2+ hack; for example, over at XDA-Developers.

I'll also devote some time to this problem - so far, I've never encountered it on any of my (several) AKU2+ devices. Do you encounter the same problem with a freshly hard reset device with the SAME dekstop (firewall etc.) environment? (I'd like to know whether it's a software / local setting-related problem OR a firewall / desktop-related one so that we can quickly find the cause for it.)

Wowz! Excellent detective work! I'll also test this on my (numerous) WM5 Pocket PC's and report the problem to my Microsoft contacts. Thanks again!

Frankly, I don't know. Must be some software interference - I can safely disable the checkbox on exactly the same configuration (x51v + A12) and it works justr great using the old networking model. That is, I'm absolutely sure a third-party app (a Today plug-in or some kind of a driver) is interfering.

Jack, it depends on what (server?) application you want to run on your PPC.

Jack, exactly what application would you like to use on your PDA? Port forwarding is application-specific.
