Yes. The DNS server it is getting from DHCP is correct and online. -----Original Message----- From: David, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 12:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Check Names - VERY long time to complete
Is the Outlook client pointing to a valid DNS server? -----Original Message----- From: Scoles, Damian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 11:11 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Check Names - VERY long time to complete I have a user who is trying to add a new profile to a new laptop. He enters the user name and then hits the Check Name button. It can take as long as 45 minutes to complete this. Here is the current setup: Windows 2000 On NT 4.0 domain DHCP - Workstation gets IP, WINS, DNS, default gateway, DNS suffix Outlook 2000 User name is the same as the login name used for the network The user is behind a Nokia IP firewall with all ports open to the IPs for the domain controllers, mail servers, and DNS/WINS servers. The network connection is as follows - Linksys Fast Ethernet switch --> Nokia firewall --> Linksys DSL router --> WestTell Tech DSL modem --> Internet --> --> Firewall LAN where DC, Mail, DNS and WINS servers are. There is a --> VPN tunnel connecting the two networks. We are able to join the machine to the domain, but unable to get check names to resolve faster or Outlook to connect. I suspect name resolution or something configured incorrectly on the LAN firewall, but I am unsure where to look. I can ping all servers by name and IP. What am I missing? Thanks.
