I concur on this one... check DNS settings on the workstations. You might also check the RPC binding order in the registry of the workstations and make sure that TCP/IP is listed first. Outlook uses DNS first for name resolution... if it can't find a DNS server to use, it can take up to 2 minutes to time out. Make sure that your DNS server is reliable. If your DNS is not hosted by you, try using HOSTS files on the workstations-- this is not a recommended fix, but a work-around.
