Hi:
I am not the original poster, but could also use some help connecting
my Powerbook (running Tiger) to my Newton 2100 with Newtsync.

I have installed the Newtsync package, and TCP/IP. I can connect to
the Internet with the Newton.
I can also connect to my Powerbook's web server at the local
192.168... address using Newtsync, and I can connect to the Newton
using Escale (keyboard and package install, etc.)

OK here, I've put in the same local 192.168... IP address for my
powerbook which works with Newtscape, etc.
> 4. On your PowerBook, make sure (a) the OS X firewall is setup to

I have an old SMC Barricade router running current firmware. It has a
section called "Virtual Server" which lets you open up ports for
specific local machines. In this section, I have enabled 15552 on my
Powerbook's 192.168... address as a TCP port.
There is another config page called "Special Applications" in which I
have enabled port 15552 as a open TCP port.

Newtsync starts the barber-pole at the top of its window and says
"Opening TCP/IP Connection"
> 6. Hit Connect on the Newt. They should start talking.
I tap connect, the TCP/IP starts up, then I immediately get an error
"NewtSync: Couldn't connect to the specified address."
Then Newtsync hangs (though the Barberpole still spins) and I have to
Force Quit to get out of it.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.=20
Thanks!
