MY NETWORK FILES -- P: DRIVE
My Network Files holds information that you have placed in your P: Drive. Your P: Drive is similar to the S: Drive; however, unlike the S: Drive, no one except yourself and the P: drive Administrators have access. Your P: Drive is actually a folder on a School of Law server (Delphi) which is backed up nightly.

To go back to your Lawdata home page click on your name on the upper left hand corner.
APPTUNNELS -- Exchange (Enable Outlook from off-campus)
Outlook must already be configured to access email. If it is not please go to the Email Account section of this website.
If you are using Microsoft Outlook from home and having problems sending emails try using the AppTunnel. A few years ago after a big virus outbreak many ISPs (like Earthlink and AOL, etc) decided to block mail servers, that were not their own, from sending email. So, people checking email from home, using Outlook, were no longer able to send emails using their Pepperdine email addresses. However, with the AppTunnel you can now connect to Pepperdine's servers and use Outlook like you would on campus.
- On the lawdata home page click on Exchange (located beneath AppTunnels) and a dialog box will pop up. Allow the AppTunnel to connect to the Pepperdine mail servers. Once Status: reads Connected open Outlook and begin using it like you normally would. Leave the AppTunnel window running while you are using Outlook.
LOGGING OUT:
When you are done please log out. There is a log out button on the top right corner of the screen. Also, if your lawdata session is inactive for a certain amount of time you will be automatically logged out as a security precaution.
