For the several of you who have been following my soap opera of trying to get Outlook up and running on my 2400 G3--I think I got it figured out! See MS Knowlege Base article # Q189906. It shows an obscure (to me) step on TCP/IP config which entails creating a "Hosts" file in lieu of DNS. I have just started Outlook and seem to have a functional inbox. I don't know yet whether personal folders, calendar, etc. are accessible, but this looks like the breakthrough I've needed. I couldn't even get Outlook to start before. Thanks Jacqueline--and others--for your help. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q189/9/06.asp Tom Colbert

I am working in a wintel-only company and decided to start using
a mac both at work and on the road. As a result I had to configure MS
Outlook to work on the mac; this was not a problem at work, where the
connection to the server was via ethernet. When however I tried to do
the same from home (modem connection), I had limited success until I
copied my DHCP settings from work and then switched to the PPP
connection mode.
For a while I was really puzzled, but in the end this did it for
me.
