Try..
If a local Mac hosts file is used, a CNAME and A record must be entered.
"Hosts" file is located in the "System folder" by default (and should be located
in the System sub-directory to use with MacTCP).
Mac hosts file format:
< Exchange server name > CNAME < IP domain name
>
< IP domain name > A < corresponding IP
address>
For Example:
EXCH1 CNAME exch1.business.com.
exch1.business.com. A
157.54.16.157
NOTE : If the Exchange Server name resolves to a name other than the
name in the hosts file, change the Exchange Server name in the hosts file to
match the resolved name. If the user is not sure about the Internet Protocol
(IP) domain name, they can run IPConfig at a command prompt on the server and
find the domain suffix. The IP domain name should consist of the server name
with the domain suffix (as in the example above). All domain names should end
with a period (or dot).
- Using the earlier example, create hosts files.
- Navigate to Apple (menu), Control Panels , and then
TCP/IP
- Navigate to Edit (menu), and then User Mode . Select
Advanced , and click OK .
- Click Select Hosts File ; highlight the hosts file already created,
and then click Open .
- Close the TCP/IP Control Panel, and then click Save when prompted.
- Restart the computer.

Where do you put the
hosts file on the mac? What is the proper format?

A
Macintosh on an NT network isn't a happy thing.. but for the most
part it does work. We have a few diehards that will NOT swtich to
PC, so they suffer a bit. If anyone's ever been able to get the Mac's to
dial in and retrieve mail I'd love to know how.
I can
make it dial in and it seems to connect and stay connected to the server,
but that's the extent of it. I can't connect to the exchange
server.

troubles with Mac's
I have an Exchange 5.5 SP4 server that works fine
with the win2k machines on my network, but is just starting to have
problems with some macs. I setup 5 macs on my network to use the
server and it was working fine for a day and a half, but now when they go
to open outlook 8.2 on their Mac, it asks for the login info, but then
errors out saying they have network issues and to talk to your
administrator. I am at a lost, as I am not a Mac expert. The
macs are able to access network resources as well as the internet.
Any ideas?
Chris
