I have been trying to achieve this for ages under SuSE 10.1. I thought
2.2.0 ('official' version downloaded from OOo) may resolve the issue,
but no go :( The wizard appears to complete without any errors and the
connection tests out successfully, but no data is displayed.
Frustrating, because I have set this up for several Windows users and it
works fine.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on a possible cause and/or
solution.
TIA
