After changing the logging level from error to debug, the log produces the following output.

I noticed now that it tries to connect to fbolviken:8080, but when I installed it I changed the port to 7080 for share. Is this the problem maybe? And where is this specified?
I thought that now when I changed the port in the installation wizard, everything should be configured automaticly.

Having used 3.4b (3.4c doesn't install at my place) with Office 2003 I can say, it really worked without any modification.

The Sharepoint configuration is viewable at alfresco-3.4.b/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-vti.proeprties

Like on your machine, netstat -an shows a listening 7070 and Word also uses that port as it should.
Your port modifications of 80xx should not interfere with that.
But if you can use the standard ports, you could try that.
Can you use other Office versions?
And what happens, if you open Word go into the open file dialog and type http://youralfresco:7070/alfresco`
Normally that displays your Alfresco document library.

Okay…….

Well, we tried some more. I tried a fresh reinstall of Alfresco, with all default, and it works. I dont know if this qualifies as a bug, since you punch in the ports at installation, but this clearly isnt enough?

Anyways, we got a new problem. Saving of documents to sharepoint is working fine. We can see versions, update, create folders etc from within word. We can also close word, and open the LOCAL copy again, and
we will be prompted for user/pass since the file is already synchronized with the repository.
But what we cannot do, is click open -> and punch in http://localhost:7070/alfresco. Nothing happens.
When we punch in a bogus url, like http://localhost:7070/alfff, we atleast get a message stating that it could not find this url.
But with the correct url, nothing.

We've tried with Office 2007 and Office 2010.

Any suggestions?

Before using the Sharepoint functionality, I had to add my Alfresco server in Internet Explorer's Trusted Sites.
Before that, there was a warning that came up in Office and it refused the connection.

Yes, I've had this warning. I added the site in trusted site, so thats not the problem anymore. As I said I can create document workspace, update file and everything when I have the local file.
But when I try to open (File -> Open -> http://localhost:7070/alfresco) nothing happens. THe strange thing is that when I try this with an url thats wrong, I get an error message. But with the right URL, simply nothing is happening.
