If you're asking me can I do these things and get the desired results, then my answer is yes. I can ping NetBIOS, DNS, whatever you please...

When you do the VPN via the DSL/Linksys (shutter...linksys) Ok once the vpn is established.....can you ping the Exchange server? by name? by full name? i.e. in my case my exchange box is MERCURY...thus I would do PING MERCURY then I might check PING MERCURY.DOMAIN.COM do you really have communication? I guess you could get fancy with a RPC ping..I think..so on... sorry people Im a simpleton and tend to start there first...limited memory storage in my older age...or lack of coffee.... I saw nothing int hread about testing for communication...sorry if this is a repeat... 2 cents bill -----Original Message----- From: Ely, Don [mailto:dely@;TripathImaging.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: VPN breaks Outlook Neither, use WINS and DNS, works every time... -----Original Message----- From: RBHATIA [mailto:RBHATIA@;AIIM.ORG] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 9:18 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: VPN breaks Outlook Is it the LMHOSTS file or the HOSTS file ? -----Original Message----- From: Tener, Richard [mailto:RTener@;midship.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 9:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: VPN breaks Outlook yes you should use the lmhost file on the client pc to map to your exchange server thats what we use here at my office and it works good.

Remote users have Outlook 2002 on W2k Professional laptops and Alcatel PERMIT/Client. These users connect via dial-up, they can access their mailboxes and send/receive no problem. When they use LinkSys router and DSL, they can access our network, the internet and other network resources EXCEPT for their mailboxes on the E2k server. Synchronization failure messages are related to "network problems preventing access to the Exchange server" or the RPC message box "retrieving data from Exchange server". These eventually fail and nothing is exchanged between the client and their server mailbox. Has anyone seen this? If so, what tips would you suggest? Thanks very much. -Juancho _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com 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:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com 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:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com 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:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com 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:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com 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:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
