host

Specify the host name or IP number for the machine on which the MobiLink server is running, or, if you are synchronizing through a web server, the computer where the web server is running.

host=hostname-or-ip

• TCPIP, TLS, HTTP, HTTPS

• Windows CE - the default value is the IP address of the desktop machine the device has an ActiveSync partnership with.
• All other devices - the default is localhost.

On Windows CE, do not use localhost, which refers to the remote device itself. The default value allows a Windows CE device to connect to a MobiLink server on the desktop machine to which the Windows CE device has an ActiveSync partnership.

For the Palm Computing Platform, the default value of localhost refers to the device. You should supply an explicit host name or IP address to connect to a desktop machine.
