In case nobody else told you, the problem is that you PDA is using the
mrouter protocol (as it's called). It's trying to resolve
wsockhost.mrouter through the DNS server advertised in the PPP
connection. If you don't put such a DNS in place, it will not work.
This is true for any communication channel of the P800/P900, infrared,
bluetooth and USB (as they all get to a PPP connection).
See http://www.alfonsomartone.itb.it/hcpcpi.html for a workable
solution.
I don't remember if it is explained there but there is catch in the
setup of the DNS server. In short, you want to put a small DNS server on
your PC that will answer this query. But BIND (the name server daemon)
will only bind to the interfaces that exists when it starts. As your PPP
connection is (most probably) not yet there, you would need to restart
it. Another way is to set the DNS server entry in ppp as the IP address
of a fixed ethernet adapter. As its a fixed adapter, it will be present
when BIND starts and as its on the PPP server, it will be accessible
from the P900.
As for the P900 opensync connection, I'm blocked in the same position as
you are (connection blocked after a first exchange of messages). I sent
a message on the mailing list, no answer. I tried to contact Armin Bauer
(as stated on the SyncML page of the opensync doc) but no answer either.
If you find something, I would be very happy to hear about it.
Best regards,
O Smeesters
