Re: MobileOrg setup

[John Hendy <jw.hendy@gmail.com>]

Well, I've made progress. I just turned off the webdav user/password
stuff and it worked fine. I'm not really worried about that, as it's
within the corporate firewall, but it still puzzles me that a browser
on the tablet could access the path with a user and password prompt
but MobileOrg couldn't, despite being setup with the same information.

Thanks for any suggestions,
John
