Hei everyone.

Ok I have been using Missing Sync Pocket PC edition for a while now. I 
thought I'd made a sum-up of what's been working for me, and what 
hasn't :

Functional :

- Syncing via iSync (USB or Bluetooth). This works ok. The PPC was 
recognized instantly. However it syncs everything all the time not only 
what has changed, and there are issue with iCal (repetitive events 
/times...).
- Mounting / File exchange: Works too. However it's a pain with big 
files. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it does not!
- iPhoto Export : Works great. Never had any trouble with that.
- iTunes Export : Works ok. Again, tendency to make the app crash when 
transferring big files.
- Installing Apps : Works fine (for.cab files only of course).

Not Functional :

- Emails
- AvantGo
- Internet Surfing.
Same problem for those 3, I cannot connect to the net.

By the way, tell me if I forgot something here :

My setup first : Wireless Router (All ports out open, All in closed) / 
Cube 450Mhz / Mac OS X.3.8 / NetBarrier X.3.5

Internet Sharing is active (Firewire only)
Port 5679 open in NetBarrier (Otherwise, missing Sync simply does not 
recognize the PPC)

When I open Myssing Sync's log, the PPC is receiving an IP adress 
192.168.206.206 (Checked also with vxIPConfig utility). This adress was 
connecting to port 7438 (blocked by NetBarrier)
So now Port 7438 is open in NetBarrier.

I even tried deactivating NetBarrier. No Change.

Is there something missing. What about your experiences of this 
software? Did you got the same problems than I did?
