Are both clients also using LMHOSTS files then? Make one and see what happens. But fixing DNS and WINS is better.

I will test a few things on Monday in that respect. However, I am using HOSTS file on both clients to resolve the Exchange server's IP address. Client #1 connects immediately when creating new profile and checking the mailbox name. All subsequent connections are slow. Client #2 always connects fast. Both clients have Outlook 2000 but different builds. Client #1 has all the latest Outlook upgrades. I can see that Client #1 caches the Exchange server's name in the registry as if it were a domain controller (key dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182). Client #2 does not cache the Exchange server's name in this key. So I thought that this was a problem with different builds of Outlook 2000. I did not check to see if WINS client was enabled on both machines. To think of it, it is most likely enabled on Client #1, I will need to check on Monday. Maybe you are right, maybe WINS is interfering with name resolution on Client #1.

I am chasing something that is causing Outlook to perform poorly. Can't quite figure it out. The environment: Exchange 2000 server. Outlook 2000. AD Domain controllers are not accessible to the clients, only the Exchange server can talk to the domain controllers. Exchange server is configured to not use RFR, all Outlooks are forced to use NSPI proxy. All the client PCs have an entry in their HOSTS file for the name and IP address of the Exchange server. When I create an Outlook profile from scratch and use it for the first time, Outlook starts immediately. However all the subsequent start-ups are slow. I always get a pop-up saying that the Exchange server is not available, Retry or Work offline. After I hit Retry, it connects fine. I have noticed that after the first connection, a key is created in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\jkelly02\dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182 And it has string value 001e6602=exchange_server_name Now I have another PC with an earlier version of Outlook 2000 installed on it. That PC does not experience such problems. It always connects on the first try. I also noticed that the dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182 key exists on that PC but does not have any values. Is this an Outlook problem? Thanks!
