As Martin says, it's most likely to be that your PC's IP address has changed. My home WiFi reassigns IP addresses pretty infrequently. It's a different story in the office, where my PC gets a new IP address every day. So, I then have to go into Tools-Options and check the IP address on my PC and then change it in the Sync settings on my iPhone. The problem with having to change the sync address is that MLO doesn't know whether you're syncing with a new outline on a new PC. Any differences between that PC and the iPhone that it spots get flagged up as an alert and, if you've been making changes on both devices, you have to go through and make sure it's chosen the right version of the truth for each item. The best thing to do is to sync just before you shut your PC down, then sync again as soon as you switch on, so you know that any changes in-between will be on the iPhone version. Stéphane
