Over my LAN I cannot get windows XP professional to connect with my Exchange 5.5.I'm running Outlook 2000 that came with the machine.I can not even ping this server, but I can ping other servers in the same location. All other machines running win98are not having a problem in the same location.I've tried more than one XP machine also,I've done everything I can think of. PLEASE HELP.
Thank You
Mike

OK, so you are obviously in a domain oriented environment correct? Is it NT or 2000 AD? You mentioned other 9x client machines had no difficulties with Outlook? and you can ping other servers on the domain? Can you get into any file shares on the domain or use network devices? I imagine you have configured Outlook 2000 to authenticate to an Exchange server? If you are an NT domain are you using DHCP? Did you configure a static IP on your XP system? Are you using DNS and WINS? Do you need to copy a hosts file to your local system? Do you have your network subnetworked and you have IPs in different ranges?

Yes I can access network drives on the same NT server. It has it's own IP address using DNS. Also has a copy of the host file on the PC. Yes it is subnetworked.It sees the name of the mailbox but just cannot connect to get email. I have a network guy that helps me and he is having a problem too.
