The Start Sharing operation has 
not displayed any signs of 
progress for more than an hour 
(that is the operation appears to 
be hung).
Your Internet Explorer session is 
timing out before the Start 
Sharing operation is complete.
Install the required Internet Explorer 
registry file on your PC. The registry file 
extends your Internet Explorer session 
and prevents it from timing out before a 
Start Sharing is complete. Refer to Mitel 
Knowledge Base article 07-3849-01068 
on Mitel Online for instructions.

new element into an existing data 
sharing community from an element that 
is already in the data sharing community.
