Outlook 2003: Cannot connect to Exchange Server 2000

We have installed Outlook 2003, and have configured it to
connect to Exchange Server 2000. But each time we try to
open any Exchange mailboxes in Outlook, we get the
following error:

"The set of folders could not be opened."

The details button shows the follows:

"This error usually appears if the OST or PST file you are
using is:

-Unavailable
-Protected with file permissions
-On a share on a server and the network is down
-Corrupt

To correct this problem, store the OST or PST file on the
local computer.
You may also want to run the scanost.exe and scanpst.exe
tools to verify file integrity."

I don't have a .PST or .OST file. I don't have the latter
because I do not use Exchange in Cached mode.
Outlook XP and 2000 both work fine in the same LAN, with
the same Exchange Server 2000.

Any ideas?

I'm answering my own quetion.

I just rebooted our Exchange Server 2000, after having
applied the latest Windows Update Security patches (which
I don't think had anything to do with the problem), and
Outlook 2003 was suddenly able to open our Mailboxes.

Not sure what was the problem.
