You need to tell the system that the network interface is managed by NM. Even if the network is working, if NM is not registered as managing it then some apps including Evo and Firefox will think you aren't connected. The front-end to NM can be nm-applet (Gnome) or knetworkmanager (KDE), it doesn't matter. I'm not familiar with Debian, but under Fedora the easiest route is to run system-config-network from a Shell and mark the interface as managed by NM. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Why is only Evolution who has this trouble? I've been using it over the years and is the first time it happens. Even when I really hadn't connection, buttons appears.

[Evolution] Trying to create Evolution-Exchange Account...
Hi, I have an Exchange Account at the University where I retired from. There is a owa web interface and I can specify my username and password on the 'initial page' of owa and log into my account. I have downloaded the evolution-exchange rpm ( Fedora 13) and when I try to create an exchange account from within Evolution after I enter my username, owa url and click the authenticate button I get a 'Could not authenticate' response. ( I entered my password at the prompt). What sort of questions should I ask the help desk?

You have to know what version of Exchange they're running on the server (actually you can find that out by looking at the OWA login page. Evolution and evolution-exchange ONLY supports Exchange 2003 (and the one before that I think). It does NOT support Exchange 2007. If they are running Exchange 2007, you need to use the evolution-mapi backend not evolution-exchange. Note that in my experience the evolution-mapi backend is not stable enough for everyday use, if you need the full gamut of features (calendaring etc.) If all you care about is support for email, then the BEST thing to do is find out if they've enabled the IMAP support on the Exchange server. If they have then you can use normal Evolution IMAP to connnect and this is very robust (but, IMAP doesn't support calendaring: only email). ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I am currently using IMAP and it works but I have to send email through my ISP. My macs are good clients so I can send/ receive by talking to the Exchange server. I use Mobile Me to manage my calendars. I will take a look at the mapi back end. Does it come with documentation on how to set up accounts?

After you install the appropriate Evo backend package, to go Edit - Preferences in Evo and add a new account, and select the account type Exchange MAPI. Fill in the appropriate values for the server and username etc. as normal. It should be fairly straightforward but ask if you get lost. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
