Try using the ip instead of the Hostname in outlook. -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Reetz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 10:06 AM Posted To: List - Exchange Server List Conversation: server access Subject: server access
newbie question... we have a user that wants to install outlook 2000 on their home machine & access our exchange server using his road runner connection instead of the dial-up into the network. It fails, can't find the server. He can telnet to port 25, however. So, it appears you have to be connected to the LAN to be able to find the server through outlook. OWA works fine. is this normal? necessary operation of exchange server? network configuration? his machine? All I have access to is my exchange server, so, I just need some direction on where the problem might be, if it even is a problem...my exchange server, the network, or the guy's computer. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ 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]
