Outlook 2003 Beta

[Jeff Cunningham]

I have installed outlook 2003 beta on win 2K and all works
well at the office.

When I go home and try to access outlook through a VPN
connection on my laptop, outlook no longer recognizes my
mail server even with a host file entry. Office XP worked
fine with this config.

I have downloaded the latest tech refresh and it still
doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What is your laptop to Internet connection at home? In particular, do you
(or your ISP) use a router that does NAT? If you do, it's probably the same
problem I have. It only works if I connect the laptop directly to the cable
modem with no router in between.

If you have an official means of reporting this to Microsoft, please do.

Try disabling contact linking in BCM. It's a BCM bug in the refresh.
