OK ... So your link is up first. Can you ping the NT machine that your
post office is on (at your headquarters) from the machine you're running
outlook on?
Are you doing IP masquerading with the diald box ? This may be a routing
issue, rather than an Outlook one. Is your LAN using a private block of
IPs (i.e. 10.x.x.x, 172.16.0.0 - 172.30.0.0, or 192.168.0.0 -
192.168.255.0)? See what the routes look like on your diald machine
(netstat -nr). Is there a route to your headquarter's network?
On the diald box, trying running tcpdump (if you have root access) to
see what's going on. Something like
tcpdump src host <your workstation's IP>
will show you what sort of packets your machine is sending out. Read the
tcpdump man page for more filtering information.
