Solution Found!!! :approve:
Well after the testing yesterday it was just a matter of finding the where the block was.
As a bit of review (as hopefully this might benifit others), I was trying to remote sync from my x50v on a wifi network on the outside (i was trying at work which has a linksys A/G router used as an AP). However this situation is comparible to access at an internet cafe or being on a friends wifi network.
Anyways I wanted to remote sync to my computer at home, my computer sits behind a linksys WRT54gs.
Following ikehiker's great guide i followed all the steps and forwarded the ports to my computer.
The block was actually that the port(s) on the other side (ie the remote wifi network - the one the x50 is connecting through) have to have the ports open to be able for the sync to work! I did some tests and the remote sync worked as soon as i opened TCP 990 (rapi - remote api) to the x50v.
So now that this little detail is worked out it leads to 2 other question;
1) Is there any ppc program that can determine which ports are open to it (specifically the Activesync ports 990,999, 5678, 5679) to quickly determine if Activesync would work.
2)At work i can go into the configuration to open that port which will allow me to sync, however i believe most home networks at friends places, or internet cafe's would have this port blocked by default, hense they would have to access their router to unblock it for me which is not very convient.
Not to mention that most places would assign a dynamic IP, hense either everytime i returned to a friends place they would have to reconfigure the IP to forward that port or assign a static IP that i would have to reconfigure the x50 for each network that i would want to remote sync on. Needless to say this is not a very elegant solution. If anyone has some suggestions on how a more elegant solution might work i would appreciate any insight.
Thanks
