Currently, we have our remote users accessing outlook by doing the following....
They have outlook installed on their computer...
We have the HOSTS file in Winnt\systems32\drivers\etc storing the IP address and hostname of the server
This setup has always seemed to work fine, however a few computers have stopped connecting to the exchange server all of the sudden.....no setting in the hosts file have been changed. In fact, no settings to anyone's knowledge have been changed period. Outlook will just timeout and say that the exchange server is available.......but we CAN ping it so how could it be unavailable??? Should I juggle the binding order around for outlook? Anything else I could try? Thanks!!
