Hi - we've been using Microsoft Web Access for about a year now with some degree of success.
I've tried finding the answer to my query on here but nothing seems to quite match our situation.
We run a small business from home, I work elsewhere during the day & take my netbook with me so I can access emails etc, my husband works away from home on a regular basis for extended periods of time - he also needs to access the emails - he uses his old laptop or an HTC Desire. We also have a main desktop at home which the laptop & netbook are networked to wirelessly.
I appreciate OWA isn't necessarily designed to be used the way we want to use it - shame the communications company we consulted didn't make this clear but we're stuck with it!
Like many others, I get fed up with being logged out after a period of inactivity - the business is such that I have to leave the computer to process an order, I then go back to the emails to find myself logged out, having to do the 2 log ins etc. We also quite often will be logged in on 2 different computers at the same time so synchronising & using 3rd party software isn't ideal either- OWA seems to be the best compromise.
So - I can of course try the http.btconnectemail route & log in as a personal computer, but - a later post says we must use the https ip address which doesn't offer this option.
The desktop & netbook are running windows 7 with 64 bit internet explorer - we tried firefox & it fouled up other things for us so reverted back to IE.
I've managed to stay logged in on the netbook today by changing the homegroup settings to not be part of the homegroup but if we try this at home we're going to lose all the network.
There must be a more clever way round this than selecting a private computer using the non secure ip address or dropping out of the homegroup surely?
