Outlook 2002 sp3 using a hosts file

[Scott]

I have created a hosts file to limit internet access. The
entries for the web sites work great, but I can only
access my exchange account using Outlook 2002 the first
time that I try after booting my computer. If I close it
and try to open it back up again it tells me that my
Microsoft Exchange server is unavailable. I have an entry
in my host file for my domain and all of my exchange
servers.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks,
Scott

do you have the NetBIOS name or FQDN?

I have both of them in the file.
