I have an exchange 5.5 setup where all my users except 2 travelling notebooks are connecting to mail using Outlook. The two notebooks came back from a trip yesterday and couldn't get outlook to open. They connect fine to the network and can get toall resources. The configuration in networking matches all the rest of the machines but if I go in to the exchange setup and try to validate the name it never finds it. If I put the same users account on another workstation I get right in and connect using outlook to that exchange account. Any ideas of where else to look? IP's are dynamic, WINS is disabled (on all machines), gateway is dynamic, DNS is enabled.
Thanks

You are testing behind the firewall setup in the router/server. Your tests prove nothing except that on the network they can connect. If they login through your server they will be able to connect, the ports (dial-up/ISP)are they enabled for full acces, through a fire wall? with their usier ID ? Or specifiic connection (IP?)

As it turns out the problem was caused by a DSL outage and outlook came back up when the DSL line came back up. Go figure!
