So you can PING the IP and the NAME of the SERVER...correct? Can you make a telnet connection to the Server? Can you see your LAN network? Are you using DHCP? If so, is the IP from your DHCP? Have you tried IPCONFIG /RELEASE then IPCONFIG /RENEW? -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Doug [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 11:43 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ Windows 2K is the OP system, aand recreating the mail profile has had no effect. When you try the "Check Name" you get an imediate can't connect error. -----Original Message----- From: Chris McNally [mailto:cmcnally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 11:33 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ What are the workstations running? XP by chance? Instead of rebuilding the work station have you tried deleting/recreating the mail profile? -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Doug [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 7:49 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ has anyone out there seen this? -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Doug Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 8:10 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Lost Connection http://www.MSExchange.org/ Has anyone experianced this? We run E2k SP3 & Outlook '02 with all SP's. Here we have about 1000 users at around 400 workstations. Of these, maybe 1 per week lose the ability to connect to connect to the Exchange server. Nothing we've tried brings it back. Removing from the domain, reinstalling Office, redo-ing SP's, nothing. The only "fix" is to rebuild the PC. We can ping the server and all that. There are no listings in any event logs. We are at a loss as to what in heck could be happening. I beg you all, if you've come accross this and figured it out, please share what you did! Each station runs the newest Mcaffee, the Servers run GFI Security & GFI Essentials. Doug Stelley Network Admin.
