Title: Message

looks like a name resolution problem to me

do you have a #pre #dom entry in lmhosts?

You can also change the default protocl behaviour for outlook, search google and you'll find it. you should set the default to TCP/IP.

Also, unless you use it, disable instant messaging in outlook (tools/OPtions) this decreases the Outlook open time by about 30 seconds.

Could be fragmentation. Is this behind a DSL router?

Hi!

Home:
Win XP Pro sp1
Outlook XP (or 2000)
SecuRemote bld 4200 (FWZ)

Office:
Win NT 4.0sp6a
FW-1 4.1sp6

Situation -
Takes exceptionally long (3-4mins) time to log into NT domain at the office from home
** Old WinME machine (SecuRemote 4186) took about 10 secs
Once logged in, everything "inside" the domain works great - EXCEPT Outlook (5 mins to open)
** Old WinME machine took about 15 secs to open and use

Hosts & Lmhosts file have internal IP of Exchange (5.5sp4) server listed
DNS settings options are presented differently than ME (have tried varios combos)

Any ideas?

Thanks!
