I have a Windows 2000 professional computer at a remote location. I am tring to connect to an Exhange 5.5 server at my home office. I set up a host file and I am able to ping my Exchange server by the computer name. When I try to go into Outlook its says it can not find the server. I am able to connect this way on my Win 98 computers without a problem. Any thoughts?

It could perhaps just be a time-out issue, depending on the speed of your connection. Is your Win2K workstation a member of the domain in which the Exchange server resides? Have you tried clicking "Retry" a time or two to see if it's just a timingproblem? Is the workstation getting an IP address in the same subnet as the Exchange server? Just a few things to think about. . .Hope this helps!
