I just saw this answer in FAQs

Q: What's the DNS name convention in Gbridge?
A: Computers within Gbridge network can be uniquely identified by easy-to-remember DNS names. All the computers are organized hierarchically using the following convention:
hostname.username.gbridge.net.
In the Gbridge network, each computer logically belongs to a single user at any time (you can switch to another user when needed). Each user can have multiple computers under his/her account. When Gbridge software is installed on both parties, you can always access the services of other computers by using that domain name in place where a normal domain name is required. Computer name (i.e. hostname) is specified in the login window, it could be an arbitrary string (which contains only letters and digits), such as home, work, office and etc. You can change it anytime when you log in. It should uniquely identify a specific computer of yours.

i haven't confirmed it at home. but if some can confirmed it now before i test at home, i'll really appreciated it.

In my case , i use gbridge to create vpn for my SQL 2000 link. The application using UDL file link to set the connection to the Target Database Server (UDL is a kind like ODBC, actually like a text file that contain database connection information)

right now i use IP that i got from diagnostic ping in gbridge and it works....
Unfortunately my ISP change the IP everytime the target server reconnect to internet.


[application] -> [UDL] -----------> [Gbridge VPN through internet] ---------------> [Database in other pc]


so if the setting server can use the "hostname.username.gbridge.net" as the target server in my UDL files. it will be great.

Your understanding is correct. Using domain name, instead of ip address, to provide universal connectivity is one of Gbridge's biggest advantages.

My application is a simple POS with main operation in Inventory Stock, Sales and Purchase transaction. Since some people have multiple store or shop and warehouse, this POS can really help them if the owner wants to see the data online.
