Ok, the problem is that the daemon that waits for pilot connections is not running (except when you change your settings). The PilotSync applet will do this for you. Right click on the panel and select Applets->Utility->PilotSync. The applet will keep the daemon up all the time. -JP -- -- ======================================================================= JP Rosevear [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ximian Inc. http://www.ximian.com _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
