-i have a w2k server and exchange server on it , and i installed a D-LINK hardware internet server , so my problem is that when any user open the ms outlook on his station the internet server opens the connection automaticaly , is there a way to keep the exchange off the internet connection and use it internaly only
-the exchange server is at the same time domain controler .
-clients are using outlook express for internal e-mail and ms outlook for internal e-mail

thanks in advance

One thing I can think of off the bat that might be causing this to happen is that the IE settings on the workstation(s) are actually set to use Outlook for external email instead of Outlook Express. If this is the case, it could cause the system to try to contact the Internet when you open Outlook. On the workstations, go to the properties of IE, on the Programs tab and check the setting for email - make sure it has Outlook Express selected and not Microsoft Outlook. Also, do you have the Internet Mail service installed on your Exchange Server? If you do, you might want to remove it if you aren't actually using it to get external email. Hope this helps!
