Hi,

I'm very desperated...I searched and tried a lot but I could not find any
solution or information on following problem:

I would be very happy if I could use the Offline files feature from
WindowsXP.

I'm connected with a GB Ethernet to the server and the server is 100% time
up and when I ping the server, I always get results < 1MS...services are
also up and running.

Altough I'm connected to the server I always get the message: Offline
files. server is offline. connection could not be established.

I'm very, very sure that everything is correct with connection and server.
Other services such as FTP, Web etc. are working with no problem at the
same time.

I'm really desperated because I don't have any idea where I could begin
finding the error.

Can anybody help me?

Or is there a similar program that I could use better than Microsofts?

Thanks a lot in advance

Peter

Depending on how the share is setup on the server, the Offline Files
feature may or may not work on the client. IMHO, Offline Files is just
way too "finicky" for real-user use; it has too many pitfalls.

I'd suggest you get the Sync Toy from MS and learn how to use that. It is
more user friendly, and works intuatively.
