host name

2002-09-25 Thread Orin Rehorst

With Outlook, when you add host name (Microsoft Exchange server) on PC
dialing in, i.e. server.domain.com, Outlook switches it to server when
performing check name.

Why does Outlook do this? 

Also, when I bring the PC in and connect to LAN,  I can enter host name
server and Outlook performs check name successfully. Then I take the PC
and dial into the Internet, and it connects.

Does Outlook maintain both host names and use the one needed?

  Because Outlook (or, rather, MAPI) is still using the old-style flat  
NetBIOS namespace.
