I have tryed everything I can think of , from creating a new account in exchange to deleting my old user info and re creating... If anyone could help that would be greatly apreachiated !!!

Devin,

Have you verified your connection to both the exchange server and the domain server against which your account is being validated? Windows XP is very particular about its security protocols.

For instance, if I am trying to to set up my account on a hypothetical exchange server, BULLWINKLE, and my computer cannot find that server, it may not validate my mailbox.

If my network account is NcCorduan on the domain ROCKY, and either my computer or the exchange server cannot find ROCKY, then it won't be able to do the proper security validations.

So, in short. Verify that your PC can see both your exchange server and your domain server when you try to set up your Outlook...
