This is the only work station I'm having problems with.
All the other workstations (9) are working fine. The
setup you are discribing is already in place. All work
stations are hooked to the switch, dhcp is turned off,
server has designated ip address, exchange has designated
ip address, have two nics in server. I will try to rerun
ICW and remote access wizard.
