Outlook 2003 doesn't work over a VPN connection
I I am having a bizarre problem with the Outlook 2003 client on my laptop.
My Outlook 2003 client works great when I am in the office and physically connected to the work network. When I am home, I use a Cisco VPN client over my SBC Yahoo DSL connection to access my work network. I can access all the network resources on my work network over the VPN connection, but the Outlook 2003 client cannot connect to the Exchange Server over the VPN connection. The bizarre thing is that the client can connect to the server about 10% of the time. Even when it connects, sometimes the status says "Connected" and "Waiting to update folders", but it stays that way for ever without downloading any messages. I can ping the Exchange server and also access my email using a web browser, but the client for some reason is not able to connect to the server. I used to have Outlook XP before on my older laptop and even now I can connect to the same exchange server using the older laptop with Outlook 2002 without any problems. I have Service Pack 2 installed, but I tried without it and it didn't make any difference. And, there are others at my work place that have Outlook 2003 that don't seem to have this problem. I even went to the extent of wiping out everything on my laptop and reimaging it. I then loaded just Office 2003 and the VPN client. Even then I am seeing the same results. Has anybody else seen similar issues with Outlook 2003? Thanks! |
