e2k, windows 98 and outlook 2000? :/

Hello,

I'm trying to setup exchange 2000 account on my laptop
(using windows 98 and outlook 2000). When I setup the
mailbox I put in the server name, and the account name -
than I click 'check name' button and I'm prompted for
username, domain and password. I enter the data and my
account is recognized correctly. The problems start when I
launch the Outlook - I enter the password and after 20-30
second I can hear a short beep without any error message. A
few seconds later I'm getting a message that there's a
problem with connecting to the exchange server. I can ping
the server, and on another computer with win2k and o2k
everything works smoothly. Any ideas how to solve the
problem? Tnx in advance for clues.

best regards

Do you connect by WiFi or hardwire? Do other networkconnections fail as well
at that time?

I connect by LAN, every other connection works fine.

FYI - the problem has been solved by applying all the
patches from officeupdate.microsoft.com
