I 'm trying to load palm desktop on a users machine and while i can load it logged on as the user or admin loccally, i cannot load it while the user is logged on to the network. You can't copy from profile to profile and can't create a shortcut. I've loaded it on the network drive,but it isn't accessible. Only from the server.
I'm sure I'm ovelooking something simple.
To sum up, it is accessible if the user is logged on locally, but they need while logged on to the network. win 2000 Server and win2000 pro on the desktops. I even added the user to the administrators group locally and on the network, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi,

What kind of actual connection IS made?

I dont know too much about networking with a Palm, but it sounds a lot like the IP address allocated by DHCP to the desktop (Assuming you use DHCP on your network) is in the wrong subnet for the Palm?

Something to look at, anyway.

Cheers,
Tim.

The reason you can not load it when logged onto the network as the user is most likely due to permissions.
If your running a novell network I know that it works this way.
Network rights override any local workstation rights.
It could be file permissions for the specfic files also.

You may want to completely blow away the profile and recreate it with administrator rights and check that out.
Hope this helps
