Outlook Express on XP and Proxy server on NT4.0

[Paul Herman]

Hi again,
I forgot to mention that our Nt 4.0 server is the only
serveron the network and it is a domain controler. The XP
machines connet to the domain with no problem. It is just
OUtlook Express not running that is the problem.
thanks again,
Paul Herman
