Impossible to resolve desktop hostname
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:38 pm
I got the message "impossible to resolve desktop hostname" when I just tried to sync my phone to my laptop over the air. I was able to sync (over the air) when I first downloaded BirdieSync a few days ago, but it failed today. Sync over USB works fine (so far). On the laptop end, the BirdieSync window says "no mobile device connected". I think I'm still on the free trial period, if that matters.
Details: Laptop -- Sony Vaio VGN-T250P, Windows XP Pro SP3, 1 GB RAM
Thunderbird 7.0.1 with Lightning 1.0b7 add-on
Phone: HTC Sensation 4G (also got a few days ago, so beyond running Android 2.3.4, I don't know much more about it), T-Mobile network (I think this shouldn't matter).
BirdieSync 2.3.6.0 on the laptop and 2.3.5.0 on the phone.
I'm also using a hotel's wifi network (the same one I was using with my first successful sync, and the same one I'm using to write this).
I looked through the FAQ both here and at Birdie's main site and didn't find this topic (or had somehow missed it). Again, I was able to sync over the air once, but not now. Thanks.
Edited to add phone network carrier and Thunderbird/Lightning versions.
