kind of along the same lines, I thought I'd share with ya'll (since I asked
about it a while back) - our server admins finally put our Exchange web
client on an IIS 4 server, and it's so much better.  no having to reload
when using Netscape, no having to pass the domain along with logon (which
was a real pain for users, having to use 'domain\username' instead of just
'username').  now let's just see when they'll make the jump to 5....

so for all of you with Exchange servers out there - if you haven't already -
upgrade the damn web server to iis4!  do your users a favor!

for my sins:

<tip type="home networking">
have another system at home that you want to use your network connection,
but don't want to shell out the $25 for a lowly 5-port hub?  (assuming you
have nics on both systems...) you can network them together with a crossover
ethernet cable, bind a second instance of TCP/IP to the NICs and set them up
with internal ips (192.168.0.* for example).  Then go to www.spoonproxy.com
and get yourself SpoonProxy - freeware for a single connection.  Load it up
on your Internet connected system - setup your Internet apps on the second
system to use a proxy (the first system), and you're flying.  I just drove
my 486/50 running Windows 3.11 onto the net last night, and it was a good
thing.
