Ok everyone, Thanks for your help with this and i spent loads of time on the phone yesterday trying all your advice out. The state of play is still the same, but this is what he can do:
He can dial the VPN server over the xDSL link, establish the connection. He can browse "My Network Places" and Navigate to the servers shares and access them all. He can telnet into the Exchange server on Port 25, and send mail by hand. He can browse the Internet without any problems. It gotta be Outlook surely?? With Outlook i did the following: Ran Scanpst against his OST file. Turned off Offline access, to rule out Syncronisation. Deleted his OST file and had it recreate it later of an analogue line. Recreated his profile. However, i can not resolve the server name in the profile box. In other words he can do everything but open Outlook. So it leaves RPC config and maybe the ports that Outlook uses are being blocked?? Thanks again for all your help.
