Yes it could be DNS or WINS, any luck with a host file. I be interested to
see what the IP address is when you ping the server by name. Have seen
instances on Win 98 where it picks up a RAS address. Anything iffy in
WINIPCFG.

There are no other errors at all. In fact if I create a new profile with
the
same username outlook works fine untill you close it. I was just informed
that when they log into the pc they have to log in 4-5 times before it
takes
the username and password. May have been helpfull to know earlier. I
think
it may be a DNS or maybe WINS issue at this time.

Thanks

When you get the error re "connection to the Exchange Server" do you see
any
other errors for instance with the ISA Firewall client or would you think
that error is a red herring.

Yes I have 32 clients in my building. This is the only one that is
still
doing it. I had 2 earlier but was able to fix one by reloading
outlook.

Is it workstation specific!

Also you mention Outlook 2003 in the body of your post which I imagine
is
a
typo as this wont install to win 98

Update to this.. keeps getting stranger and stranger.

If you create a new profile everything works...... untill you exit
outlook
then reopen it. Same error.
