Hi
After the ususal hassles I succeeded in getting my XP Home
laptop to network with my 98 machines. Now I'd like to use
Synchronization Manager to synchronize the dada files
across the network.
The problem is Synch Mgr doesn't 'see' any of the mapped
drives, folders that have been shared, or the 'Shared
Documents' folder. All it sees is one offline webpage.

Any thoughts?

Thanx,
Tom

Enable Offline Files (Tools|Folder Options|Offline Files tab), then simply
right-click on any shared folders/files you can see on the network, and
check "Make Available Offline". I think you'll see what you expect in the
manager then. You do need XP Pro though (certainly on the client side).
