MS Outlook 2003 Calendar Free Busy

I finally got the Internet Free Busy function of the calendar in MS Outlook 2003 to work. Admittedly its not posting to the internet but to an intranet - but it is working.
I tried publishing to the internet but I must have had the syntax wrong somewhere because it wouldn't.

Anyway heres the link to the help page on MS domain that helped me do it.

I needed to use the file://///PCName/Sharedfolder/filename.vbf format. I'm not quite sure why there are 5 slashes though - anybody know why this works? I discovered this by saving my calendar as a web page to the intranet and when I opened it this was the syntax of the url in the browser. I repeated it for the free busy data and it worked.
