IP addresses that begin with 10., 172., or 196. are likely "internal" addresses, meaning that they only work within your local network; such addresses can't be used to sync from outside this network (from outside your building, for example) so you'll need to find the "public" address for your FileMaker Server or Host. Here's how.
-> 1. If you're hosting with FileMaker Pro instead of server, go to FileMaker and open File / Sharing and select "Share With FileMaker Clients" (the wording is different in different versions of FileMaker). The following screen will tell you the IP address you're hosting under. There may be two so you'll have two to try in the steps below. If you're hosting with FileMaker server, the public address is probably the address you use to open the Admin Console: if that address uses works like "fms-1.mytech.com" that's it; if it uses numbers try to open the Admin Console using a numeric address that begins with something other than 10., 172., or 196.
-> 2. Go to your iPad and try to open the hosted files manually using the "Hosts" tab of FileMaker Go. Enter the IP address you found above, or the IP address of your FileMaker Server. Eventually you'll see your hosted files listed, but you may need to try a few addresses.
-> Once you can see the hosted files listed for an address, ''that'' is your "public" address and is the address you'll enter into GoZyncMobile, replacing "yourserver.com" as described at the top of the page.

!! 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:
-> “Error 802 We have an internet connection, but we can’t reach GoZyncHosted.fmp12”
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:
-> If you're hosting with FileMaker Pro instead of server, go to FileMaker and open File / Sharing and select "Share With FileMaker Clients" (the wording is different in different versions of FileMaker). The following screen will tell you the IP address you're hosting under. There may be two so you'll have two to try.
->Go to your iPad and try to open the hosted files manually using the "Hosts" tab of FileMaker Go. Enter the IP address you found above, or the IP address of your FileMaker Server. Eventually you'll see your hosted files listed, but you may need to try a few addresses.
-> Once you can see the hosted files listed for an address, ''that'' is the address you'll enter into GoZyncMobile, replacing "yourserver.com" as described at the top of the page.
-> When GoZyncMobile has the correct external data sources in it, send a new copy to your iPad and you'll be able to sync.

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".

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:
