Aah, this is Windows 95 isn't it. I'm assuming the users home PC's were Windows NT/2000.........wrong assumption!

It was my understanding that that was not enough. They must also log into the machine itself with the network credentials -- even if they let it "time out" as start up. There's a Q article about this somewhere.... -Michèle Immigration site: <http://LadySun1969.tripod.com> Our new 2001 Miata: <http://members.cardomain.com/bpituley> Tiggercam: <http://www.tiggercam.co.uk> --------------------------------------------------------- I can bend minds with my spoon. --------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Robin Lawrie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 3:30 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote connectivity problem Using the Outlook client. Are the users home machines that they're logging in from on the domain or are they standalone machines? If they are on the domain, are the usernames and passwords that they log onto the machine with the same as their network username and password? If not, or if the machines are not on the domain, then it could be that when Outlook starts and tries to connect to the Exchange server, it is passing the credentials of the locally logged on user to Exchange. Exchange doesn't recognise these users and so doesn't allow a connection. What you need to do in Outlook is define what network logon credentials to use. In Outlook on the users home PC's, select Tools, Services. Select Microsoft Exchange Server, then click Properties and select the Advanced Tab. Where you get the drop down box for Network Logon Credentials, select None and ok everything. Now, when you start up Outlook, you will be prompted for your username, password and domain. Enter your network details and you should get in.
