just cable net and cellphone.
Thanks, I hope there is a way though.

If you have a static IP or name, it's easy enough to do if your ISPs
don't block the port. Unfortunately I don't know which port that is,
but there are a number of tutorials out there for doing this. Easy
enough though is to change the settings for the hotsync manager on the
PC and on the PDA for network hotsyncing.

Sorry. Forgot.

If you are going to do this you need a permenant connection. If your
IP changes every so often then leave ICQ or whatever running, create
another account and add yourself as friend. That will allow you to see
your IP almost anywhere you can connect to the web. (I use Miranda-IM
off a USB stick for travel..)

For your router \ firewall then:

Try this port for HotSync?:

Palm Computing Network Hotsync
data synchronization ports: 14237 and 14238

If those don't work then run a firewall whilst you try and setup
HotSync and get the firewall to report the ports accessed..

That's exactly wrong -- it's the other way around:

TCP 0.0.0.0:14238 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
UDP 0.0.0.0:14237 *:*

Also, if you have PalmOS 5, don't bother opening UDP 14237 on any
firewall. The UDP wake-up is broken in PalmOS 5, and will only work if
you have a palindromical IP address like 192.0.0.192 or 10.1.1.10

Why not simply use the built-in ping?

Open prefs, go to network settings, choose "View Log".
Write "ping 12.345.67.89" and return.
