No, they're independent programs that use the same library (libpisock) for communication to a PalmOS device.

You can check if jpilot is listening for incoming connections with "netstat -tln". If it is you will see something like this in the output:

Code:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:14238           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

I'm just grasping at straws here, but does /dev/jpilot need to exist for network sync?

No, I don't have one here.

If the firewall isn't blocking it anymore it should work. Can you try running "tcpdump -n -i eth0 tcp port 14238" on the PC (as root, and assuming eth0 is your active network interface), then start a hotsync attempt and post the tcpdump output here?
