XP Home and Outlook 2003 - can't configure exchange email account

[Guest]

I recently purchased a desktop with XP Home edition and it came with 60 days trial of Office 2003. Before I had a loptop with XP Professional and Outook and had no problem configuring an email account with office exchange server. With this combinatio of XP Home and Microsoft Oulook 2003, I am unable to connect to my same exchange email account. The program sits and wait before throwing all kind of error information "The action could not be completed. The connection is unavailable...blah blah"..but everything is fine..I can ping the server .... what I am doing wrong? Is XP Home edition configured to connect with Exchange server or do I have to turn on any service...thanks guys!!
