Hi all! I misposted this question to a wrong group, so I'm repeating it here: I use a VPN connection from my home (PC with WinXP) to my company servers (Windows 2003). Using an account for e-mail (from Outlook 2003 to Exchange 2007) I get the error message that Exchange server can't be reached. The server on which Exchange 2007 resides, can be pinged from my home PC, I can see all my network drives and folders on several servers (including the Exchange server), so VPN is working correctly. While establishing the e- mail account, when I specify the name (I don't have to specify the IP number) pressing the Check name (my username) button even accepts and confirms my account as a valid one on the Exchange. What should I do to be able to connect to Exchange? TIA, Primoz
Hi, You could try to add the netbios name of the exchange server to your lmhosts file (it sounds as a name resolution problem).

Hi, Leif, thanks for your answer. I tried to include the name of Exch Server into lmhosts, but it didn't help. I guess something should be done on our ISA server firewall.
