How do I view Offline Favorites?

[jsteph]

I saved a url as a Favorite (IE 6.0, WinXP Pro), and checked the 'Make available offline'. I did it's little dialog box that said 'Synchronizing...' and then it said it finished.

It's important that I have access to view the contents this page if and when I'm offline. So I decided to test it, and I unplugged my Wan cable from the router. I go to Favorites, click on this one, and I get the Page cannot be found error.

What's up with that? Did I misunderstand the meaning of 'Make available offline'? Doesn't Windows save a copy of the contents on the disk? How can I get this to work? Thanks,

It may well be that due to your network configuration, just by unplugging the cable, the PC does not know that it is offline.

In IE, click "File", and then "Work Offline". Your offline favourites might now start working.

Hope this helps,
