>From the workstations, can you ping the Exchange server by netbios name? By
hostname? Is anything else slowing down? Why forward udp broadcasts? If
you are using WINS this will do nothing for you but send unnecessary traffic
across the backbone. I wouldn't say its a "network" issue as the 6500 will
be able to handle anything ( but a spantree loop ) you throw at it. Since
it's the core I assume you are trunking. Are your trunks setup properly?
What about routing? Have you used a sniffer yet to trace an Outlook
session?
Just a couple questions that come to mind....Kenny
