Cisco VPN Client with Outlook 2003 Exchange Server
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been back & forth with my IT department for almost 2 weeks and they can't seem to identify the problem. When I'm in the office I don't have any problem connecting my network shares & the Exchange server. When I'm home connected thought the VPN I cannot access my shares or Exchange. I know I'm connected to the network because I can access our Intranet & Content Management System (which is only available internally). Something seems to be blocking my connection to the other servers. When I open Outlook after about a minute I get a message saying the Exchanger server is unavailable. If I try & map my network drive(s) I get an error saying the network resource is no longer available. I've tired 3 different drives but get the same error. These problems started when my laptop was replaced. The previous laptop had no problems connecting to Exchange or other network shares. The only difference is the old machine had Outlook XP; the new one has Outlook 2003. I'm running Outlook 2003 with the Cisco SSL VPN Client on Windows XP Professional. Windows firewall is disabled on all connections. Any help is much appreciated. |

Being able to access, say, an internal web site is unrelated to being able to access, say, the Exchange server. Only if the employee is granted the particular role that defines the access can that employee access the service. Now, I don't know if that's how it works where you are, but it does for the company for which I work and our IT people are aware of how to control these various roles and see to it the employees have the access they require.

I'll look into it further with our IT security head, but it doesn't look like this is the problem. |
