Unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi

This might be me be being extremely dumb, but I am unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi. I have itunes 10.5 on windows, have iOS 5. When I plug my phone into my computer I have ticked the box on the device summary screen enabling wi-fi sync but when I go into my iPhone menu, the "sync now" box is greyed out and it just says that it will resume sync when my computer is available.

Any suggestions>??

I solved the problem by unchecking Internet Protocol Version 6 in the properties of the wireless network adapter on my computer. As soon as I did that the phone was found by i-Tunes. I also made certain the phone and computer were using the same workgroup name and that the computer was connected to the router with a wireless connection. I don't know how important those last two items are, I need to do more experimenting.
