The setup is identical to the notebook that works.

No errors on connection. It just keeps popping up the authentication
window
asking for userid/password. This goes on indefinitely.

Do you have it set up properly? What happens when you try to connect?

Hi all,
I hit a somewhat perplexing problem here.

We just got a new set of notebook in the office and I got a HP NC6230
while a colleague got a HP tablet. Both run XP Pro SP2 and Office 2003
SP1.

Individual profiles are set on each machine but all other
configurations
are the same; security, exchange proxy, etc... Basically, apart from
the
username/exchange account, everything else are set exactly the same.

Problem: my colleague can fire up Outlook and connect to our exchange
server in the office from any connection, wired or wireless, anywhere.
I
can't get it to work outside of our corporate network (unless I use VPN
which is still back in corpnet).

I've looked at some KB articles and they point to fixes that are all
covered in Windows XP SP2. What am I missing? It's getting really
frustrating not being able to connect directly. Any pointers will be
much
appreciated.

Thanks.

does your company publish their own security certificates and if so, did you
install it?

Nope, no internal certificates. I've googled and reviewed a ton of postings,
KBs, etc... and can't figure out what's wrong. That's why it's driving me
crazy. :(

check in the exchange groups on this server (msnews.microsoft.com) - they
may know of a backend problem that could cause it.
