George: How are you trying to access the server? Is outlook using MAPI or HTTP to access the machine? Does this machine have anything like Communicator installed that would also be accessing the server? We have this happen at work sometimes and we shut down any app that might be accessing Exchange or an Outlook connector and then it'll work.

I'm banging my head against concrete here, and wondered if any of you have experience of Outlook 2007 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, accessing an Exchange 2003 Server at my office from my home desktop. I have access via the same Virgin Netgear Router here at home via my laptop which has Windows Professional 32 bit and Outlook 2003. As far as I can see, the Dray Tek Smart VPN Client is set up identically tio the laptop. I know for sure that the VPN is connected, as I can access any of the server's drives, and even Remore Desktop to the server. But whatever I try, I keep being told that the Exchange Server is not available. However, what has got be a tad suspicious, is that I have a similar problem accessing an America supplier's server using the same Username and Password as I do onloy my laptop, which suggests that I may be missing something 64 bit specific. Has anyone any thoughts? George. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
