Could not hurt to verify that RPC is working correctly using something like rpings. You could also configured a client that is normally having problems to used IMAP or POP and see if it goes away....could be the VPN having problems with RPCs.

Here's what we're using: Exchange 2000 Sp3, Outlook 2002 Sp2 on the clients. When these users connect to our VPN, they can see/ping everything, including Exchange, but always have problems opening outlook. First they have to set their profile to manually control the connection and force an online connection. Even then they have to hit "retry" a few times, but it finally connects, although very slowly. I know DNS DNS DNS, but they can ping the Exchange server by name, and I even gave them entries in the HOSTS file for the local (internal VPN) address of the Exchange server... any thoughts here? Its driving me crazy. -W _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
