SYMPTOMS

When you try to synchronize a desktop computer over a network, the following symptoms may occur:

  1. Under Internet Settings, click New.
  2. Give the new connection an appropriate name.
  3. Click the Proxy Settings tab, click to select the This network connects to the Internet check box, and then click OK.
  4. Use the connection that you created in step 2 as the connection that you use for connecting to the Internet and to Work.
  5. In the My network card connects to box, click Work.
