[missing-sync-palmos-talk] can't get network sync to work :-/

[Scott Gruby]

Missing Sync's Internet Sharing assigns an IP address of  
192.168.206.206 to the handheld as most home networks default to  
192.168.x.x. This is probably part of your issue. Second, you need to  
specify Local HotSync and not LANSync as you should just pretend that  
when Missing Sync is in sharing mode, it is just a network connection.

In the future, it is possible that we'd allow you to change the  
subnet that is assigned to the handheld, but at this point it is not  
user configurable.
