Re: using Outlook on a home network

I continue to be stumped here.

I looked and saw no instance of outlook.exe running (even
with the PDA cradled). One at a time, I ended all
processes related to my PDA (Palm), removed the PDA from
the cradle, and then Microsoft on the desktop and tried
to change the accessed file on the laptop after each
change. I still can't access this .pst file in Outlook
on the laptop.

After I had all of those ended, I also tried diabling
both firewalls again just to see if that would help.
Still nothing.

I appreciate the help, but do you have any other ideas?

Thank you,
Mike
