On my Treo, I've had to use "!!" as the IP address and use the DynDNS  
name as the hostname.  That seems to work HOWEVER Palm OS seems to  
automatically fill in the IP address in the Network panel, and then  
it doesn't work.

So you have to keep going back in and changing the IP to "!!" which  
is annoying.
