Outlook & Internet Connectivity VIRUS?

[dsk525]

Hi All,

I have 8 client machines on a network and they all have Windows 2000 Professional operating system.

All of them have intermittent access to Outlook (on exchange server) and Internet connectivity. When Outlook does not open, it either just hangs or comes up with the message requiring username, domain name, and password. This happens on all 8 client machines. Is there are virus that is causing this? The server machine has no problems at all.

Any insight into this would be of much appreciation!

Thank you in advance.

You getting anything in the event logs?

well this could be a general connectivity to the mail server issue, which could be caused by too many connections to the server or, even not enough bandwith issues. also obviously could be server problem. it is telling you you cannot connect to server, or password is wrong. We know password is correct so why cannot you connect to server? I would see if it is overloaded or something, which could be due to a virus creating too many connections. if you have a virus it would show up in one of a few spots in the registry in most cases
