[missing-sync-palmos-talk] no internet connection, DNS failure

[Eddie]

Hi folks, newbie here. Newbie to this list, anyway.

I have a iMac 800 MHz PowerPC G4 running OS X 10.4.6. It is on a  
wired home network with a Linksys hub and a DW7000 satellite modem.  
The satellite is two way, the modem has a built in DHCP server. There  
is no firewall or router on the network. Our connection is NAT'ed.  
The palm I'm using is a Tungsten E.

OK... I installed Missing Sync and was very pleased that it synced my  
stuff without trashing it. It was great to be able to sync my Palm  
with the OS X apps and my iPod! But, I am having problems getting the  
internet sharing to work. All the online apps on my palm fail with a  
DNS error. I tried changing the server information in Avantgo (works  
fine with the conduit, btw) and VersaMail to an IP instead of a FQDN.  
No joy... I get a time out error now in Avantgo and a 'check your  
server info' error in VersaMail. I've also tried Eudora mail with no  
luck.

I tried adding my ISP's DNS servers to the network configuration in  
the Mac. I've also searched the archives back to 2005. There were  
almost no mention of the internet capabilities of Missing Sync.

I do connect, according to the Network App in Palm. The missing sync  
icon changes to reflect a connection. I've tried a RAS and PPP  
connection. Again, no luck. I am at a loss... Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Eddie
