Viewing Offline Websites

[Guest]

Hello,

I am having trouble viewing websites offline. I already enabled offline
files (I have XP Pro), and went through the synchronization process for the
sites I wanted to view later. It says that they are synchronized properly,
but when I went to Favorites and tried to access them offline later, it said
they weren't available. Please help.

(I am running on dial-up)

Thank you,
Devin

Offline Files is for networking with a portable computer.

Open Internet Explorer Help and look at:
Browsing the Web Offline

To view Web pages without being connected to the Internet
After you mark your favorite pages for viewing offline, you can view them
offline by following these steps:

1. Before you disconnect from the Internet, on the Tools menu, click
Synchronize.

2. When you're ready to work offline, on the File menu, click Work Offline.

3. In your Favorites list, click the item you want to view.

Note
• When you choose to work offline, Internet Explorer will always start in
Offline mode until you click Work Offline again to clear the check mark.

To make an existing favorite item available offline
1. On the Favorites menu, click Organize Favorites.

2. Click the page you want to make available offline.

3. Select the Make available offline check box.

4. To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how much content to
download, click Properties.

Note
• Before you go offline, make sure you have the latest version of your pages
by clicking the Tools menu and then clicking Synchronize.
• You can also make Web pages available offline without adding them to your
Favorites list, by saving the pages on your computer.

Best way I've found to do this is to use File>Save as..., which gets a
dialog box to name and find or create the folder to save in. No worry about
Favorites or synchronization.

Hello Again,

I went thorugh the process of adding websites I wanted to view offline to my
favorites list, and then selected that I wanted to make them available for
offline viewing, and then synchronized them. It said they were synchronized
properly. However, when I selected to work offline, and tried to acces these
sites that I had synchronized while I was off the internet, it said they were
unavailable while offline. Please help.

Thanks again,
Devin
