Guest jenya Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 Does anyone know if it's possible to put in custom dns resolution... I am running an APP that requires a host name, but unfortunately the name does not resolve under Public DNS... On a PC the quick fix is to obviously add an entry in to the HOST file to map that name to the specific IP... Can this be replicated in a Smartphone? Thanks, Eugene

Guest jenya Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 I can't hardcode in to the app since I didnt build it. It's an XMPP IM messenger. It uses FQDN to find out the server name... Example: [email protected] is the userID in the messenger, so it will automatically try to resolve IMSERVER.COM. Since that name only exists in my internal DNS it wont work. How ever the IP address is a public one so if I could somehow modify something on the smartphone to make it resolve IMSERVER.COM to the public IP address then my problem is solved...

Guest irvsys Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry - made an error and did not type the reply... You could try using DynDns (http://www.dyndns.org) Here you can set up your internet hostname and point it to the IP address you need. You can set up both static and dynamic IP addresses and it is free for up to 5 addresses (from what I remember).
Guest jenya Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 Good Idea but the issue is more complex... I would have to own that domain in order to do that... I don't own the domain... It's just an internal domain set up for testing... Only solution that is viable is putting in custom dns entrys on the phone... -Eugene Sorry - made an error and did not type the reply...

Guest tony_man Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 CheckThis http://www.cewindows.net/wce/20/protocols.htm I am afraid it looks like no host file support. T
Guest jenya Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 Yea I already read that, but i'm sure there is a way to go around it... CheckThis http://www.cewindows.net/wce/20/protocols.htm I am afraid it looks like no host file support. T <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
