Ok, here is the setup:
Laptop w/ Windows XP SP2 + All patches. Running clean Office 2007 B2.
Not connected to the LAN, through a cable modem with Netscreen client
version 8.7:
Fired up Outlook 2007, setup profile, do a manual configure, select
"exchange", then type in server name and mailbox name, clikc on "Check"...
gets an error:
An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x90040605
If I connect to the LAN, works. If I connecct wirelessly, works.
Ok, so once connected to the LAN and get it to recognize the mailbox and get
Outlook configured properly, I am now remote. Connect VPN through Netscreen
client. Fireup Outlook... It can never connect to the exchange server.
Frustrated, I uninstall Office 2007 Beta, go back to Office 2003 Pro, set it
all up and all works through the VPN flawlessly. Including setting up
Outlook profiles and such.
So, it seems Outlook 2007B2 is having a problem with VPN connections. We
tested this with the Cisco VPN client and is having the same problem there,
too. When you look at traffic on the PC, it doesn't even try to send it out
the VPN tunnel.
Any ideas? Very strange, as Outlook 2003 didn't care what connection you
had it on, as long as it had a connection.
