Re: [Evolution] Subscribing to an Exchange shared calendar

[Veerapuram Varadhan <vvaradhan novell com>]

Hi Tom,

Can you access your GC server from outside firewall?  Evolution gets the
required domain/host info from the GC server and then tries to connect
to it using the host name.  If the host-name doesn't get resolved, it
shows "Generic Error".  

Check your DNS setup or add that ip/host-name to your /etc/hosts file
and then try subscribing to other user's folder/calendar.

HTH,

V. Varadhan
