Outlook on Peer-to-peer Network 1

[riegelkurt]

I have 2 Win98 machines connected by crossover cable for peer-to-peer network. Works fine for file sharing & web browsing through single cable modem / single IP address.

Outlook e-mail runs fine on the machine connected to the cable modem, but does not work on the other machine. How does one set up Outlook on the other peer so that both machines can send/receive e-mail using Outlook?

I have been trying to find an answer to a similar question. IE can Outlook be used to allow users on different PCs on a network (even peer to peer) without MS Exchange.

For small (and even large) groups of users I have had alot of success with OfficeTalk (

It works with MS SQL, Sqlanywhere and Jet databases and ever on peer to peer networks "out of the box".

However I have a client who "wants to stick with microsoft" but the size does n't justify the overhead of an Exchange Server and all that admin.
