Thumbs up Network Synch to dynamic address via DNS WORKS!!!

This is great news! Just on a lark, while testing network synch for the first time, I specifically ignored the instructions posted in this thread which said to put "!!" in the computername field of the Palm and to put the IP address in the address field.

Instead, I put the DNS name in the computer name field and left the IP address field blank. And it worked the first time!

This is huge! You can now use a free dynamic DNS service like dyndns.com or no-ip.org (I use the latter) and you never have to worry about the cable/DSL provider changing your dynamic address!

It was a beautiful thing to behold. Now, the only downside for me is that the computer I synch with is my notebook. When I'm on the road on business, the laptop is probably not at home plugged into the Internet. It's probably with me. And powered off in the carrying bag.

But I'm sure plenty of readers on this list will love this new info! Enjoy!
