Syncing to Outlook over the Internet.

[justanotherday]

Can someone who has done this help me?

I sync my smartphone (palm based) to my outlook. I use pocket mirror pro to
change the calendar root folder for my palm to come from my wife's calender
over the LAN on her desktop. In other words I sync her calendar to my palm
from her pst file that I have opened up in my outlook. The other items come
from my pst file ... contacts, to do's, memo's ect. I hope this makes sense.
This way we both use the same calendar to keep track of our busy schedules.
The only downfall is that if I have her pst file open over the LAN on my
notebook she can't use her Outlook.

Well the problem is I travel out of town for my job. I go to the same place
everytime and it has a broadband connection. I use XP Pro and she uses XP
Home. I want to be able to open up her pst file in my outlook over the
internet instead of just over a LAN so I can continue to update our calendar
and sync my palm.

I was thinking using Microsoft's remote feature would work.

Help.

Unless you know your PC's IP address and your PC allows inbound connections
to the ports your sync software expects to use, you wouldn't be able to do
this.

Well I have a Action Tek DSL modem supplied by Qwest that my home PC is
connected to. The modem has the ip from the ISP and the pc has the local
192.168 ... ip address.

The 192 address is internal to your home network only and can't be seen by
the outside world.
