HI.

Yes, the LAN should be working.

But here is the catch - if you use an external ISP DNS server at the clients, then MS Outlook 2000 might hang or take a long time to start, since it is waiting for a DNS response to locate the server.
This issue can be solved if you implement an internal DNS server, and/or if you implement HOSTS files at the clients workstations.
