Accessing mail at work from home (via VPN) with Outlook 2003
I have set up a VPN to access my mail (Exchange server) from my home
computer (WinXP Pro). With Outlook 2000, there is an Outlook dialog for name, password and domain, and it all works famously. With Outlook 2003, there is a dialog for name, password, but nada for domain, and a Windows dialog box comes up, when I try to connect, asking for name and password. The Windows dialog box fills in name with //machinename/username, and apparently treats machinename as if it is the domain. Of course, this doesn't work. Is there anywhere in Outlook 2003, to put the domain? I am very puzzled. |

The version of Outlook & Exchange have nothing to do with this - in Windows XP, unlike in prior versions of Windows OSes, shows you only a two-field login box. Enter your login name as DOMAINNAME\username. I am very puzzled. |

Enter your login name as DOMAINNAME\username. I think you must have misunderstood what I wrote. I intended to be specific, when I described when I was confronted with an Outlook dialog and when I was confronted with a Windows dialog. When I use Outlook 2000, the Outlook dialog allows me to enter a domain, and I never see a Windows dialog. I am very puzzled. Actually, I'm sorry, I misread....I thought you were talking about Outlook Web Access. My advice still applies, tho. ;-) I tried what you suggested, but Windows doesn't like it, and it neither works nor sticks -- Windows replaces whatever I put in, with machinename\username. I even went so far as to make the machinename the same as the desired domainname, and it didn't like that either. I gave up, and will go on using Outlook 2000. |
