[ZSyncer] Dest.host in LAN, howto address?
Hi Zopies, I want to download resp. sychronize my zwiki from an real internet server at my friend's company. I started with ZSyncer because i think it's good for all other synchronizing tasks too. It works easy and without probs at home ie. between notebook and my home box. Now i have to solve a new challenge i've never heard anything about: How can i address my home box(var.IP) from the internet server(fix.IP)? First: I think i need to define the dest.URL in both ZSyncer instances on both boxes, is this right? So my question is a basic IP-related one, but i decided to ask here on the list, because you know ZSyncer in opposite to most people on linux/ networking lists. - Ah yes: all under Linux, of course :-) My home box is behind another linux box as a gateway, (no firewall), this one dials in by pppd. *What should i enter in the destination field on the ZSyncer at the server???* I have no idea how to approach this prob. Give me a hint, please!

Does your home box has an official internet address?
If not, it is not directly reachable from the internet and you need a forwarder on your gateway. You may use Shane's "TCPWath" as such a forwarder (so not too efficient, but readily available). Run it on your gateway. Let it listen on some port and forward to your Zope. Then you must only address your gateway, which hopefully has an official although maybe dynamic IP address. If not, you need to do it the other way round, ZSyncer reverse, so to say. The infrastructure is there, but you need to adapt ZSyncer for this use case. Dieter
