If you are expecting the user to be able to access the desktop application when they are on 3G or otherwise not on the same WiFi network, port forwarding is required > The person with the application running on their desktop > may not know how to set up port forwarding in their router. Their router may not even support port forwarding. If you are limiting your interest to when the user is on the same WiFi network as the desktop application, port forwarding is not needed, but somehow the user will need to know the IP address of the desktop and be able to provide it to the phone. You can try Zeroconf-type stuff, but I haven't ever played with it and know very little about it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
