Chris,

I had loads of problems at first (still do, in fact, but they are software
issues).

I finally made a direct cable connection (NOT USB) between the two network
ports and it works just fine.

There's a Microsoft book called "Troubleshooting Windows XP" (costs about
$20) which I used a lot to help me through the setup; the automatic setup,
which is supposed to be so good, didn't work at all.

To synchronize Outlook, you'll need separate software. I recommend SynchPst)
(www,synchpst.com).

Good luck!

Al
