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.

Do you have it set up properly? What happens when you try to connect? What
errors do you get?
 
Thanks for responding.

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.
