Hmm. I have a very similar situation except that my organization doesn't run any firewalls, VPNs, ISA, or any other type of security except for what is on each individual server and I still have this same issue.
What makes my work workstation act differently towards my Exchange 2000 server then my workstation at home? Is it just because I have to go through RoadRunner, or could it be something else. My home workstation is using the my office WINS and DNS server (the RoadRunner DNS is setup as secondary). I have been using RDC as a work around. But it would be nice to try and resolve this issue without having to setup a VPN for my home computer.

The issue is probably one of the port mapping that occurs between an Outlook client and an Exchange server being blocked by your firewall. Here is the info for Exchange 5.5 on how to resolve this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q155831&; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q194952 Here is the info for Exchange 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q270836&; Remember that whatever ports that you set your services to, you will then need to open those ports on your firewall. And just because you do this, not anyone and their brother can connect to your Exchange server regardless of whether or not you have a VPN because they are still going to need to logon and validate their account on the network. Let me know if this info is helpful or if you have any other questions. > 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.
