I don't know if this a Palm Desktop problem or a problem with my LAN, but if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate them.

I am on a secure LAN system that uses NT. I got an administrator in and installed Palm Desktop software and while he was here and I was working on my notebook alone, it worked fine, synched with Outlook, ran Backup Buddy okay. I was happy.

Then the administrator closed the trapdoor and left. When I later signed on the LAN and tried to access Palm Desktop, it does't work and I get an error from it saying:

invalid configuration: terminating the Palm Desktop

Without the desktop, I can't synch or download anything. Actually it will briefly synch now, it doesn't error out, but it doesn't actually do anything. It appears that if I can get access and use my notebook as a stand alone it works fine, but once it meshes with the LAN - no dice. My computer people can't figure out what the problem is and I don't know much about the technical side of LANs and NT.

Any thoughts?

Oops,

It looks like someone may have already answered this problem already, cornwall's Hotsync Problems with NT 4. I will have to get an administrator and see if we can make it work. If not I will be back.
