Based upon how these types of things usually work with Apple, I would guess that the assumption is that everything is connected to the same "Airport" wireless router.

The only thing in the user guide is: =========== After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPhone syncs with iTunes automatically, once a day, when it’s connect to a power source and: iPhone and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network. iTunes on your computer is running. ============= I'm assuming that Rendezvous/Bonjour is involved in some way, but do the devices both need to be on the same subnet/VLAN? What other gotchas are there for this type of syncing in our enterprise environments? - -- Julian Y.
