Can't sync with Lotus Notes

Question

Phone: 6233
PC Suite: 6.85.14.1
Notes: 6.5.1
Have entered server name in settings:
name/SRV/companyname
Filename:
mail\myname.nsf
Both of these are taken from Notes, but not 100% I picked the right ones since I'm new to Notes.
Get error message: name/SRV/companyname!!mail\myname.nsf Server not responding. Server could be down or you have network problems....etc.
Seems that PC suite inserts exclamation points in the address. Tried replacing server address with IP, e.g.
12.123.123.123/SRV/companyname but that didn't work (same result).
God I miss outlook ;-)
Can anyone help?

HI all,
First of all for those who do not know how to create a local database in Lotus Notes,
File -> Database -> New -> in Server name, give a filename of your own and Filename, you have to specify the complete path of the file. ( For example, if you are creating a file in desktop, complete path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\x.nsf)
username = name which you have logged in
x.nsf = Filename you have created newly in local
and in Server template select Mail(R7) i think since i have installed lotus notes 7.0 i have selected Mail(R7).
Once new file is created in local server as said above,
Sync settings in Nokia PC Sync
In sync settings in Nokia pC Sync, select Lotus Notes 7.x, ( i have installed lotus notes 7.0) for calender sync, Server name should be local and in Filename, give the complete path ( something similar to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\x.nsf, if you have stored your file in the desktop) with the name.
Now sync the calender with Lotus Notes.
Hope it may help you Best of Luck
