As for the protocol being used you should check the Outlook Settings and Network control panels (under the Apple menu). Verify that Appletalk is not used for this as it is a VERY chatty protocol. It is far better to use TCPIP.
The hosts files typically goes in the System folder. I should have been clearer on the client version - what I was looking for was the Outlook client version. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aristotle Zoulas Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 10:11 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: MAc Outlook problem -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Couch, Nate Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 11:02 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: MAc Outlook problem A couple of questions first. 1) What protocol are your Mac clients setup for (Appletalk - I hope not, or TCPIP)? Where would I look for that? I am pretty sure Appletalk is turned on. 2) Do they have a local hosts file pointing to their Exchange server? No, not sure where that would go. 3) Do they have any anti virus software running on their Macs? Negative 4) What other third party extensions are running on their Macs? They run acrobat, quark, photoshop, word, They also run one of those fancy "extension managers." Forgot the name. 5) What version of the client are they using? 3.6??? Regards.

We are running on Exchange 5.5. One user is complaining that when he tries to attach a file in his OL client, or if he tries to move a file from his outlook client to his desktop, the operation takes twenty minutes. The message comes up, "communicating with server" . After twenty minutes, the operation completes successfully. The time is the same whether the file is 100kb to 10mb. I get this on my XP box running OL2003 but the time delay is only several seconds or so. Any idea what would be causing this _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
