how is the account configured? Is this computer inside the network or
outside?

I'm only questioning this since I'm quite certain our staff had this
working
for another employee who had a profile setup on the workstation in past.
That employee has since been reasssigned to another task - but he was able
to
use MS Outlook 2003 on the 2000 OS - and the notes in the document
indicate
this should work for MS 2000 platform too.

Any other suggestions by anyone. I'm not sure why it's not working for
new
users added to system?

After furious head scratching, DavidS asked:

| 1) I can ping the Exchange Server without issue
