I'm a newbie, so please bear with me. My server is a Windows 2003 machine w/ Exchange. On my XP computer, I'm attempting to set up an Exchange email account on Outlook 2003, but I keep getting the message "The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unabvailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I am using the same options for computers that are directly connected to the same switch as the server, but the computers I am setting up at going to be used from home. I thought that maybe I should VPN into the server first, but that didn't seem to fix the problem. And, yeah, I know about having to set up the options from the control panel first. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you joined the Client to the Domain? Can the client ping the Server? What settings did you configure in Control Panel?

Life's more painless for the brainless.
