Add name/ip address of exchange server in the hosts file on 
the pc running outlook..

I had a similar issue. A user who was overseas on a trip,  
VPN-ed into the network via a ISA (ISA in not a member of 
the  internal domain). Once in the internal network, the 
user could get access to servers via IP address but not 
names. He modified the hosts file, switch-ed OUTLOOK 2003 
into NTLM and he could have access to exchange server.

I don't know what the problem is but would look at it once i 
get back to the office. At least remotely, the users outlook 
is talking to the Exchange.

I believe it has got to do with the DNS. I am not sure, just 
guessing.
