What machine name is in the "Requesting" dialog box. That might tell you something as well.

As of yesterday, 3 out of 53 computers all connected the same or similar way with the same OS and Outlook client... are encountering one or more of the following problems: Server: Exchange Server 5.5 with latest patches Workstations: Windows 2000 with SP3 or 4 - all patched for Blaster worm. Outlook 2002 1. Very long delays in viewing messages at times (though quite often). The message, "Requesting Data from Microsoft Exchange Server" appears and requires a very long time before it completes. It's like being on a very slow MODEM connection. I have sense attempted to re-establish the client connection by removing their profile. Upon entering the client name and clicking check name, the workstation can no longer see the Exchange server at all. 2. Connecting a client (Outlook connecting to Exchange Server setting) is impossible. Typing the user name and clicking check name takes over 5 minutes before the message, "Exchange Server unavailable appears" or "Outlook could not log on. Check to make sure you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name." All systems can browse the Internet and also ping the MS Exchange server and telnet to port 25 on the Exchange Server from both internally and externally. I've attempted connecting to the Server's name, its specific IP address... nothing seems to work from Outlook or its client configuration program. What has happened since last Wednesday that is causing problems on only 3 of 53 workstations? I'm at a loss!! Help please!
