What version of Outllok (don't say 2002) -----Original Message----- From: David Lloyd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 August 2002 09:35 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange and PPTP + VPN
Yes Paul, He can telnet via netbios name and by ip. A couple of things maybe u should also know is that, in the Outlook profile it can't even resolve an IP address, if i enter that instead of the Netbios name. DNS is not really used for name resolution for the server that has PPTP installed. It does however have Netbieu installed for name resolution. I did it this way because Exchange is not Internet facing, i have a pop mailer picking up mail from another domain. So basically i'm using Netbieu over IP for name resolution. I also tried using outlook, to dial up using the VPN connection, however i couldn't get this to work. One weird thing is, if i establish the VPN connection and then get Outlook to use Dial up networking which is set to use the VPN connection, it asks for his user name and pass, proceeds to load the icons on the left then hangs.
