Equivalent of lmhosts file on XDA2?

[k_kirk]

Hi. I am using the SanDisk Wifi on my XDA2 and can get connection on my home LAN. Can ping my desktop PC by IP. Since ActiveSynch client on the XDA look for the partner PC by hostname rather than IP address I am having trouble in connecting for ActiveSync. On the PC I would simply create an entry on the lmhosts file to associate the IP address with the hostname. On XDA is there an equivalent to this capability? Thanks for your help.

Have a look for an application called Pocket Hosts here (http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm)

Way too cool!!! This looks even better than what I was hoping for. One problem though. The website only has the screenshots. I could not see the download link. Any idea? Thanks

There is a big "Download It" logo below the screenshot

It takes you here (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=B8712C8X33AX66C81XE786E2451478F9&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=54305)

Great Thanks!!! Trust me, the download icon does not show up on my PC. It must be an IE anomaly of sorts... Appreciate your help.

Got it and I can synch now. Only if I change the network card setting to "Connects to Work" from "Connects to Internet". Any idea how I can work around this? Its quite tiring to change this setting everytime I need to Synch. Thanks a lot.
