I'm having exactly the same problem. I've copied all of my server
settings from an older computer with Office 2003 and I can connect
when in the office, but not from anywhere else. We do have a VPN, but
according to my I/T guy he's added my new system to the list of
approved computers. We're running Exchange 2003. I'm at a loss.

Thanks,
Chris

I spoke with my administrator this a.m. and tells me we don't have a
VPN. It
still doesn't know why I can connect at the office but not at my
home.


Then it is highly unlikely that your company permits you to connect to
their internal hosts from the outside, like from your home. You'll
have to do your work e-mails at work. Or you'll have to find someone
smarter at your company that knows how to setup VPN to let you connect
to their network using a trusted path and which makes you look like
you are on their network. Or you will have to wait until they choose
to implement OWA (Outlook Web Access) to provide HTML web interface to
your Exchange account. Until then, you aren't going to connect to
their internal host from the outside.
