Hello - I have a laptop for work that I use with a wired connection while at
my desk but go wireless when I go to a meeting. When wireless I enable VPN
to talk to my companies servers. But when going from one configuration to
another, I found that Calendar loses my availablity when I go to create a
calendar event. Ie, when my calendar shows me as being busy, if I go to
create a calendar event, and look at my availability, I see me as being
available. Actually in that case I am always available, so that none of my
activities show up. I also know that other users also see me as available.
The only way I know to fix this is to close Ouloook and restart it when in
the new mode. When I do that, my availaility shows correctly when creating a
calendar event.
But closing down Outlook when I make a change is irritating and contrarty to
the concept of have a laptop at work. My other workaround is to never go
wired, only wireless, so that I do not hit this situation. But that is not
as fast, and creates bandwidth problems if everyone did that.
Any better ideas of what I can do to fix this problem? My IT guys are
stumped.
Thanks.
