Absolutely I have a suggestion. Simply put the FQDN of the Exchange server into a "HOSTS" file (this will be located at in the root of the System Folder) on the Mac Powerbook (Macintoshes do not use WINS). They can however use a HOSTS file to resolve the Exchange server. I have been doing this since the Exchange client came out for the Mac years ago and it works quite well.

Yes its true some pooor soul wishes to use his Mac laptop to access his exchnage mail ! i did try and talk him out of it but well anyway, installed outlook for Mac and this went lovely, set the options to check the name which it does lovely, as long as we use the ip address of the mail server and not the wins/dns. but then when he tries to open outlook it complains the mail server is unavailable ? i presume its because it cant find the wins/dns name. But ok you say change it to the ip address, well we do that but outlook keeps resetting it to the dns/wins name. Any advice, and i mean any advice even if its shoot him.... gratefully received Yours desperately Paul _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
