I'm trying to download something on my phone through ActivSync.
How do you find out a server address?

Ask the system admin
Most likely you need to call or email whatever place you're trying to download from and ask one of the I.T. people (probably doesn't have to be the system admin).
It might be listed on the website somewhere depending on what kind of server it is.

Why not use ping? Even lame-o M$ Windoez has got it.

dnsstuff.com works nicely.
You still have to know the server's named address to get it's IP address... I figured Brian had neither. And you don't need to even ping the server if you have the named address, just do nslookup ridemonkey.com... a packet is a terrible thing to waste
