Thank you for the information.
I have set the respective preference to the Mac address of my Wi-Fi adapter using the syntax 00:80:41:ae:fd:7e
However, Sync still only connects if I unplug the LAN cable first and then start Sync. If afterwards Sync is connected, I can re-plug the LAN cable, and Sync stays connected over WiFi.
So is there something else that can be done in order to make sync directly connect using the Wi-Fi adapter, without having to unplug the LAN cable first?
Additionally, I changed "Connection Port" in the advanced preferences to "5081" (because this is one of the four ports 25, 443, 5080 and 5081 that are open in the Office LAN here).
Should I change this setting back, and if yes, to which port?
