Hi.
I am setting up a laptop for a user here at work. Everything is fine except one thing.
I am trying to setup outlook XP so that the user can check for mail using the modem when at home and use the lan when at work.
In settings I have set it to.. "check email using LAN connection" and have also ticked the.. "and use modem if working offline". When I click send/recieve when the lan is plugged in it works no probs, when i take the network cable out (or even boot the laptop without the network connection) and click send/recieve it just moans about not being able to see the mailserver, it doesn't even try to use the modem.
This is very annoying, because in previous versions of outlook instead of "and use modem if working offline" it has "and use modem if no lan present". If I click File > Work offline and then do a send/recieve it opens the modem promt and I can dial in.
Basically I do not want to (read: want the user to have to) click work offline each time he wants to check his email when at home. Can I make outlook XP think its working offline if there is no LAN present?
Cheers.
