OWA Windows ME
We've had three or four staff experience this at different times over the past year ... all of a sudden one day on their personal home PCs they cannot get their e-mail through OWA from home. All have been using Windows ME. They can get to any other website except our OWA page.And we've never been able to get them re-connected despite some pretty serious (and very time-consuming) troubleshooting - they've all had to re-install or upgrade their operating systems. When the problem starts, they get IE errors connecting to our OWA page - connection basically times out saying there's a DNS error.We know their mailboxes are OK because if they use any other machine they can get in. Anybody had the same experience, or know of anything 'unique' with ME that we should look at? fyi .. we're using Exch5.5sp4 on NT4sp6 Rob Sargent List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

I do not know a WindowsME-specific issue with OWA. What version of IE are on the clients? -Original Message- From: Sargent, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 6:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA Windows ME We've had three or four staff experience this at different times over the past year ... all of a sudden one day on their personal home PCs they cannot get their e-mail through OWA from home.

Re: OWA Windows ME
I'd have to say the DNS error is rather telling. I used ME and OWA for 2 years with out a hitch. Make sure their DNS servers can find your .com (?). Have them try with an IP address. Reinstall the stack. I've had corruption problems with ME networking before. No need to reinstall the OS just the networking. Just a couple things to try.
