Default Outlook 2003 with Exchange 5.5 - slow to create new profiles

I've come across this before but can't remember what the fix was. When
creating a new profile on Outlook 2003 working with Exchange 5.5, the
profile wizard keeps changing the Exchange server name to the FQDN. So it
changes informed02 to informed02.informed-direct.com. This is on an NT 4
domain so there isn't any internal DNS to handle things like this so it
hangs whilst it tries in vane to access a DNS entry that never resolves.

On existing profiles, the server is listed simply as "INFORMED02" but I
can't remember how you get around this for new profiles. Edit it manually to
informed02 and it changes back. Even type in the IP address, and it changes
to informed02.informed-direct.com.

How do you stop this!

Thanks, Rob.

As a quick workaround, I added an entry for informed02.informed-direct.com
to the local hosts file but that's a nasty fudge!
