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. /Gill ---- Original message ---- >Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 14:50:55 -0400 >From: Danny <nocmonkey@xxxxxxxxx> >Subject: [exchangelist] Cannot connect Outlook to Exchange through VPN >To: "[ExchangeList]" <exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > >http://www.MSExchange.org/ > >Outlook & Exchange 2003, through a IPSec VPN, I can ping by IP address >and by the name of the server, but Outlook just states that the >Exchange server is not available. > >Even with proper trusted zones with ZoneAlarm, and then later >disabling ZoneAlarm still produced the same results. > >Any suggestions? > >Thank you, > >...D > >------------------------------------------------------ >List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl? enter=exchangelist >Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp >Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp? type=FAQ >------------------------------------------------------ >Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: >World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com >Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com >No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org >Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ >Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ >Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com >------------------------------------------------------ >You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: ssgill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl? enter=exchangelist >Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sarbjit Singh Gill ssgill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
