Name resolution problems between Outlook and MS-Exchange Server

[Tim Barnum]

XP is very attached to using DNS more than the previous=20
Windows. Since you probably don't have a DNS server=20
running on your NT server.....

Have you tried using the IP address of the exchange server=20
instead of the name in the outlook exchage service.

Or you might try using a local LMHOST file to direct the=20
name of the exchage server to the correct ip address.
