Connect Using Your Remobo Username
We recently fixed some issues with our DNS servers not resolving certain names correctly, and it reminded me about one of the great features built into Remobo.
Instead of remembering IP addresses, you can connect with any of your buddies by using the domain name: [buddyname].remobo.com
If your buddy is logged in at multiple locations and you need to specify it exactly, just use: [location].[buddyname].remobo.com
For example, if “joe” is logged in at at “homePC”, you can reach him using joe.remobo.com or homePC.joe.remobo.com
This will always resolve to his current virtual IP for easy access no matter what application you are using. It’s also great for mobility sine “joe” can login anywhere and still be reachable with that same domain name. It’s like having a free dynamic DNS service built in whenever you are using Remobo!
We hope you enjoy this feature and let us know if you have any comments or feedback!

Can you use Remobo on an existing LAN. The reason I would like to use Remobo is that two computers are hardwired and two are wireless and the network never works fully. All the computers never see each other and we aren’t able to play games on it. If we could use Remobo to connect the computers it would be a OK simpler. Thanks.

Jeff,
I use Remobo on my home LAN, which has simliar topology as yours. I’ve wired computers on my home LAN, and wireless Laptops that connect to a Zyxel Access Point that in terms connect to my home LAN. The Zyxel Access Point also acts as a NAT device, so it’s not easy for my wired computer to see the wireless Laptops. With Remobo, they can now be connected & share files. HTH.
