My iPad can't see GoZyncHosted even though we're on the same network
When you're playing wit GoZync inside your office, it can be common for your iPad to fail to find your hosted files the the first try. You may see a message like:
The reason is that you either didn't edit the external data sources in GoZyncMobile because you were working locally, or you entered an address for your server that doesn't work inside the building.
Here are two approaches to find the correct address to use:
In GoZyncHosted. You don't need to change the references in GoZyncHosted unless you change the names of your files.
In GoZyncHosted. You don't need to change the references in GoZyncHosted unless you change the names of your files (below).
In GoZyncHosted. You don't need to change the references in GoZyncHosted unless you change the names of your files.
In GoZyncHosted. You don't need to change the references in GoZyncHosted unless you change the names of your files.
In GoZyncMobile. This needs two kinds of data sources. The first is a reference to GoZyncHosted and it will likely have two entries, like this:
In GoZyncMobile. This needs three kinds of data sources. The first is a reference to GoZyncHosted and it will likely have two entries, like this:
The second kind of reference is that GoZyncMobile needs a reference to each of your mobile files that you're Zyncing. These references are created as part of your integration, when you add your table occurrences to the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile.
The second kind of reference is that GoZyncMobile needs a reference to each of your mobile files that you're Zyncing. These references are created as part of your integration, when you add your table occurrences to the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile and look like:
The third reference is to your hosted data files and should have two lines just like the reference to GoZyncHosted has: one for when you're working locally, and one for when you're not. The references should look like:
fmnet:/YourServer.com/ContactsHosted
What if I rename my files?
You can rename any of the hosted files, provided you keep your External Data Sources up to date as you would when renaming any FileMaker solution.
And you can rename your mobile files, of course, provided you keep the External Data Source references in GoZyncMobile up to date.
You can't rename GoZyncMobile, however.

The first of these entries works when the hosted and mobile files are on the same machine: such as when you first download GoZync. The second entry should point to the hosted version of GoZyncHosted on your host or FileMaker Server. This second line, where it says "your server.com" should be the public address of your host or server. This is the address you'd type into FileMaker Go if you wanted to open one of your hosted files directly. If you're having trouble, try opening a hosted file directly on FileMaker Go: when you can, that's the address to use in place of "your server.com".
The second kind of reference is that GoZyncMobile needs a reference to each of your mobile files that you're zyncing. These references are created as part of your integration, when you add your table occurrences to the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile.

My external data sources were wrong
If you had a problem with your data sources, be sure to quit FileMaker and reopen your files after fixing them. FileMaker can hold on to references to open files.

There are only a couple External Data Sources (what we used to call File References) you need to worry about:
In Your Mobile File. You'll want a single reference to GoZyncMobile. This should look like this:
