Outlook 2003 and exchange 5.5

[Robert E]

Outlook won't connect to exchange server. Ping on ip
adress or netbios name of exchange server is working
properly. Exhange server settings in outlook 2003 are the
same as in outlook XP where everything works fine.
If I keep exchange server settings from outlook XP and
start outlook 2003 I get this message: 'A system
component, RPC, required by Outlook to connect to the e-
mail server is not configured properly.'
What am I doing wrong?

Tnx!

are you getting any errors?

one fairly common problem is the rpc keys are missing -
see if these keys
are present on your machine:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
]
"ncacn_np"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_ip_tcp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncadg_ip_udp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_http"="rpcrt4.dll"
