Make sure you have WINS available for resolution and static mappings for
your mail servers. I no MS says win2k does not need wins but as many have
found out, that turining off wins causes many problems. I have directly
discovered problems with Outlook over VPN when not using the wins service.

Subject: RE: E2K Windows-98 VPN Connection Problem
We had a similar deal on several 9x machines after moving to a new (5.5 in
our case) server and it was simply that the new exchange server didn't have
a DNS entry.. we added this and it immediately fixed it for all of these
machines so you might try looking into a DNS, hosts file solution.. but
again this was on and NT4/exch 5.5 setup so I may be way off..
