Help with VPN and Exchange!!!

[vargas71]

Hi,


Right now I'm configuring VPN on a Cisco PIX 506E...everything work fine when connected...

I can see the personnal drives, I can print on the local printer etc...

But I can't connect to the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server...

I received that message like error...

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available. Either there ara network problems or the Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance."

The funniest thing is that when I'm configure Outlook 2000 or 2002(XP) it can check the name of the user I'm entering on the Exchange server but can't find and open my folders???...And, everything else of exchange works, pop, smtp, imap, web etc

So why does the Exchange Server can't work???

Can anyone help me???

Can you resolve your exchange server's name? can you ping it by its name? Normally if your name resolution works correctly over vpn you should be fine. Are you using a VPN client?

HI.

Try using a manual edited HOSTS file on the workstation.

In the Advanced page of Exchange options in the mail profile of workstation - try changing the authentication method to None.
