You must be using the optical slave on the Ba Wang, in order to only have the Ba Wang flash go off you need to use the Sync cord that came with it. Do use the PC Sync on a Sony A200 you will need to buy a PC Sync Adapter that will plug into your camera's hot shoe. Your local computer store should be able to hook you up with the right part.

Make sure your shutter speed is no faster then 1/200th. Any faster and the camera wont sync with that flash. If you are in manual, aperture priority, or shutter priority modes then the built-in flash wont pop up.
