Question: I have a Palm m130, and I can't get it to do a Network HotSync, why?

The Palm m130 handheld will not do any Network [HotSync]? operations because it is lacking any OS networking support (Palm didn't include any network components in the Palm m130), so you can't sync it using the Network [HotSync].

If you cannot connect your Palm m130 to your machine using USB directly, you will need to get a serial cable or use IrDA, or possibly Bluetooth.
