Windows XP Pro, SBS 2000 and Outlook 2000....

Hello everyone:

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had problems with Windows XP Pro
workstations connecting to the SBS 2000 server (using Outlook 2000), and not
having them be able to send, or reply to their email. They can both receive
email just fine - it's replying, or creating new messages that comes back
with an error.

I temporarily have them set up using OWA. Apparently, OWA works for
them. If they were to log onto another workstation in the network (all the
other workstations are Windows 2000 Pro), their email works fine.

Any ideas as to what I would need to change on the two XP boxes, or is
there a setting I need to adjust on the SBS 2000 server? Please advise.

Regards,
John

Hi John,

How are the XP machines set up for network access
(WINS/DHCP/DNS settings)? Also, how is Exchange set up
for sending outgoing mail (DNS or Smarthost)?

Hi John -

In addition to George's questions, is this a new SBS install? If not, I'm
assuming users were previously able to send / reply to email? If so, what
has changed recently on this network?

Hi George,

These are client machines obtaining their IP addresses automatically
form the server. Exchange is set up using DNS. The other Win2K Pro clients
are working just fine. In fact, when I log in as one of these users on a
Win2K Pro client machine and use Outlook, I'm able to send/receive/reply to
emails with no problem.
I'm currently having these two people use OWA through their Internet
Explorer browser. Using OWA, they can accomplish the send/receive/reply
features, however I would like to have them use Outlook like everyone else.
Any other items I should check? Thanks in advance for your response!

Regards,
John

Hi Chad,

No, this install has been up and running since September of this past
year. It was only until I introduced these two XP Pro machines that I've
started to have some difficulties. Is there possibly a setting within these
XP Pro machines that I may have missed? Thanks for your help!

Regards,
John
