Hi all,
I'm not really sure that this is the right newsgroup for this, and if anyone
has a better suggestion, I'll repost there.

Here's the setup I have. Small network using a DSL router 4, works fine,
share printers, internet connection, every machine sees each other on the
network, can browse shared folders etc. Two of the machines are Win 2k
desktops, two are Win XP home laptops.

A folder is shared on a Win2k workstation. I can attach to the Win2k machine
with my XP home laptop (after supplying a user name and password - is there
any way to eliminate that?). I can manipulate the files on the 2k machine,
save, delete, copy to my machine, etc.
I want to set up the folder as Offline folder so I can work when not on the
network and have the files resync.

The folder has caching enabled with manual caching of documents set.

I cannot for the life of me get the folder (and subfolders) to be available
for syncronization.

I've succesfully done it using the Win xp laptop as the "server" and the
win2k machine as the "client" but it won't work the other way round.

Any suggestions please?

TIA

Howie
