Thanks

Hi,

I had the same problem, you have to initiate the daemon on the TR Desktop app, because it doesn't run all the time, with the port open. Here's what I did:

1. Open TR on your desktop
2. Click the little iPhone icon in the tool bar
3. Choose the correct interface for your network (I run several VM's, so had a bunch of options), this will bind TR to the correct interface. It should then tell you to fire up TR on your iPhone and run sync.
4. Open TR on iPhone, make sure sync IP matches the interface you chose in TR desktop.
5. Watch it sync.

It sounds quite complex, but in reality it takes about 30 seconds to do, and I'd much rather do it this way than have port 5000 open on all my machines all the time.

Hope this works for you.

Cheers

At long last! I'd even gone over to MLO while you sorted this out.

Had some fun logging in as admin to free up port 5000, but that's it working on my works laptop now. Just downloading onto my Ubuntu box now, making sure that's working too. Bit of a pain constantly having to switch IP addresses over - could you have a look at that?

Is this a good time to start talking about the Esperanto version?:unsure:

The fact that some of yours didn't have notes suggest it might be a character encoding problem.
Great work, Im sure that will be a big help.
please use the contact us link on the left to send them through.

You can set the default ip and port to whatever you like in the settings applet.

We'll be looking at translations down the line so if you really want an experanto version all we'll need are the translations.

Both your iphone and the desktop computer should have an internal network addresses (starting with 192.168.* or 10.*). If so, can you tell us what the address are as shown in the sync dialog and in the wifi details screen on the iphone.

The address is safe to report if it starts with those numbers, otherwise just tell us the first number for each case.

The other issue might be a firewall blocking the traffic from the iphone (effectively making the desktop invisible to the iphone). Do you know if there is a firewall running on your mac/pc?

btw, is this an iphone or ipod touch?
