SYMPTOMS

When Groove and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server are installed on the same computer, Groove awareness may not work. You may also experience problems receiving and sending workspace changes and instant messages.

This problem occurs when the computer is running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the SharePoint Portal Server Setup process changes the proxy settings to "per computer" when you install SharePoint Portal Server. However, Groove looks for "per user" proxy settings. Because Groove cannot find these proxy settings, Groove cannot use any connection that requires a proxy.
