sorry just found this

if you get a terminal and type

sudo ifconfig

that will give you the IP address of the machine and be reachable on 
that aswell :)

also use the PPA i put on the instructions for the client and the 
external address  that you get from ifconfig ;)

this will work internally, you would either need fixed IP or dydns and 
port forward on the router for external sync ;)
