Network not available and Outlook Express not saving config

[Guest_imported]

Some more stuff for you all to ponder:

When I log into our domain as admin from any computer (roaming profiles here), and load (for example) Outlook Express, it works fine. But, if I log as a normal user or any of our users log in and load OE, they get a popup window that claims something like network not being available. Work Offline or Try Again. Clicking Try Again magically makes the network "work". What's wrong here?

And..

Why is it that Outlook Express configuration (IMAP folders etc.) are not saved in the roaming profile? Shouldn't all that data go to "Application Data"? As of now, users can't go directly to their inboxes when they start OE, and have to download all folders and messages every time. While this is only an inconvenience, it annoys the hell out of everyone.

Solved the latter problem.. I noticed that the Local Settings is excluded from the roaming profile. Well, Local Settings also has this Application Data folder, and duh, Outlook by default saves its thingies there. Solved by making logon/logoff scripts that at logoff xcopies this stuff to a share at server, and then at logon loads it back and applies to the profile. Hey presto..

And the first problem too was corrected; by simply checking the box "Always connect to this account using: Local Area Network".. Pretty lame, cos this was the only connection available.
