What I mean is, Windows 2000 allows the users to log on to the domain, even though they don't have a connection (modem or LAN) to it. Just fire the laptop up at home, and log on using the same username and password, with our domain selected in the drop down list
>From then, if they establish the connection to our head office VPN/RAS server, Outlook starts in offline mode (outlook 2002). If however at the initial logon, we specify we want to use dial up networking to connect, pick the VPN, conenct and log on, then start outlook, it reads from the IS on the server Hope this is clearer -----Original Message----- From: Hurst, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 March 2002 09:59 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Working Offline From Exchange Server Nik, Is the 'cached info' used/collected from when you was on-line? and not when lasted connected using DUN.

I've never sync'd over a modem before so never realised, always done it when plugged into the LAN. Our network is private, using only WINS. I have added all our servers into LMHOSTS and name resolution when pinging SERVERNAME from a command prompt works fine. If when I log onto Windows, I specify to Dial Up the VPN and log onto the domain, all works well. When logged on to the domain using cached info, and then establishing a DUN connection to the domain is when it refuses. Any further help appreciated.

Can he ping it by FQDN?

I have configured offline folders for them, and told them to perform a Send and Receive when connected to their office LAN's to make sure their offline copy is kept as up to date as to be useful. I have had a phone call today from someone working remotely whos been working offline, has sent an email (which has placed itself in the Outbox on the offline info store). Now he wants to send that email. He connects to his ISP, then to our VPN, and opens Outlook. However, it opens the offline store, even though he can see our network, and the server Exchange is installed on. I thought this config would have opened the IS on the server, and then he could Send and Receive to synchronize, and send that mail, however, with it opening in offline mode, all he gets is an error about the server being unavailable. I have managed to connect him to the IS on the server by logging off, then loggin back on and selecting use DUN to connect, when he opens Outlook then, he gets the IS on the server, and can S & R Is this working the way it should? Or is there anyway to open the IS on the server by having him connect from an "offline from the domain login" without having to actually log on to the domain thru DUN?
