Resolving the "Exchange Server is unavailable" error when using the MUVPN Client
Posted: 24 Jan 06 (Edited 24 Jan 06)

When using Outlook and Exchange Server over the MUVPN client you will need to enter the Exchanger server's ip address and hostname in the LMhosts and Hosts file.
This will resolve the Exchange Server is unavailable error.
more information on these files can be found here.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=101927 http://labmice.techtarget.com/networking/lmhosts.htm
open up my computer and browse to
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
you will find two files name hosts and LMhosts
Make the following entry in the hosts file exchange.server.ip.address hostname.domain name
Example
172.16.50.1 mail.example.com
make the following extry in the Lmhosts file
exchange.server.ip.address hostname #PRE #DOM:domain.name
Example
172.16.50.1 mail #PRE #DOM:example.com
now you should be able to connect your your exchange server using outlook
