Interesting question about WINS, but I don't know if Macs know what it is. The customers do not get to the point where their name would get underlined. That's exactly where it fails - resolving their name against their GAL. the hosts file is something like this: exchserver IN CNAME exchserver.domain.com. exchserver.domain.com. IN A ip_address I don't think the problem is with HOSTS since they are getting the connection to the Exchange server. If they were not getting connection the error message would say "can't find the Exchange server". -----Original Message----- From: Couch, Nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 7:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook for Mac Andrey, I do know that Macs do not use WINS (at least through Mac OS 9.2). They can use DNS, however, I must admit to not having triedmy Outlook 2001 against and Exchange 2000 server. You say that they can ping the server so that means their TCPIP is setup correctly. When you setup the Outlook profile did their name get underlined when you did the "Test Settings"? How is the "hosts" file setup? Do you have the listings for the DNS server(s) in the file? Do you have the correct FQDN for the Exchange server? That's all I have for now. If I think of anything else I will let you know.
