Hi all

I am stuck in a Windows network and it is a PAIN!!! I tried for a few 
days to use Word (Oh, god, how can anyone make a word processor 
interface so unfriendly, even given the time they have had to work on 
it? Then I tried working on the Mac and transferring data to the PC 
using a flash drive ... the flash drive buggered up at a critical 
moment! Aargh!).

However, I have now cunningly reduced my problems in using the Mac in 
this environment to one -- email. I need to be on the local email.

I can retain Eudora as my main client with all my old settings, 
that's fine, provided I use that through an ethernet cable that plugs 
into the main modem BEFORE the Wireless.

Now, Wireless plugs me into the wireless network here -- no worries. 
All the Windows computers come up as "shared" -- whatever that means. 
What I am thinking I can do is use Mail as the client for the local 
email operating through Exchange 2007. It looks possible. However, 
the (low level) tech and I couldn't configure it correctly.

Does anyone have experience connecting up a Mac in such an 
environment and if so, what is the description of the network and 
what is the mail server called. We tried the IP address for the 
latter and were told that it was inactive or something.

Any clues?

Cheers, Geoff
