I was starting by trying to access the global address book. The sys admins
here are a Winders lot and know surprisingly little about what happens in
their black boxes. The best I could see is that the global address book was
something called:
SEGROUPEXCL01.ramboll-g.global.network
I guess this is an address that means something to outlook clients, as that is
where I looked for this. It is not an address that is resolved via DNS. Our
network is not .network. Maybe it is resolved via a windows mechanism. Is
evolution expecting a name that resolves with DNS, or is ie a name it uses in
some other way?
Of course, right now my evolution will not run on SUSE 10.0. The current
stable GNOME for 10.0 broke it. So I cannot tell you the exact text of the
label where I am entering this in evolution. I an currently using kmail. I am
willing to try from there, it is is supported.
