your answer was not clear at all and it did not fix my problem.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it.  No reason not to give 5
stars :) The way things are going, *we* may be the first people to
find the answer to this question - it's just going to take a lot more
hardware.

Great job, thanks for the info.

A belated thank you for excellent research! Great stuff!

celebrate-ga,

thank you very much for the awesome information. I checked both
methods and both worked (our "receive" and "store" Exchange servers
are the same).

I forgot about my question for a while because I now access using a
different method -- XP's Remote Desktop. So I now do run Outlook at
work. From home.

Thanks for the help. Though I wonder if it would be possible to find
this on Google. This was the first time I couldn't ask it the right
question.

Okay...
Thanks for the excellent help.  I'll check the implementation with
MySQL and see how it goes.

I've got round to this at long last.  After a couple of hours' work
(it never goes as you expect!), the instructions on the site you
mentioned have got things going properly now, and with "Obtain IP
address automatically" set on the laptop.  I think something was wrong
with the way ICS was set up on the 98 machine initially.

Even now, the network is pretty unstable, and sometimes I need to get
the XP machine to 'repair' the connection, but as I understand it
that's par for the course when using ICS via Windows 98SE, and I can
live with that.

Thanks for all your help on this.

Very good answer. Tested it and everything seemed to work just fine.
Checked the logs and saw that it was receiving mail from the test
site.

Tried to email from the backup.com domain to the main.com domain and
received this error...

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

      'tom@main.com' on 1/18/2003 9:44 PM
            A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the
message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two
recipients.  Contact your administrator.
            <server.backup.com #5.3.5>
but I can live with that.
Thank You

Excellent, thanks !

An exceptional answer, as usual! I used the first, more generalisable
solution. Thanks again!

Excelent answer. I did not even think of using VBA, but it solves the
problem handily. Thanks.

Perfect - Just what I needed.  I knew it was something like that, but
couldn't quite remember/figure it out.  Thanks for the very fast
response and the links.

Suddenly the Mac's been able to connect to the net, with WinXP
dialling up as the Mac requires internet access. Everything's now
working fine - I'm not sure why it wasn't before, as we haven't
changed anything... that's networking for you though. ;)

Thanks for your help in setting this up for me - the instructions were
extremely clear and your clarifications very timely.

Just an excellent answer and the references were a bonus. This
question has been plaguing me for a while and nobody could answer it.
Thanks.
