VPN's can be tricky.
When they connect via VPN can they ping their exchange server by name?
By IP address?
If they can ping via IP but not name, then you may want to put an entry in
the hosts file on their machine(s) so that they can resolve the exchange
server name.
The hosts file is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I have a few clients that connect remotly using a VPN connection to SBS
2003
sp1(Exchange is built in - ver 6.5.7638.1). The clients are using XP sp2
and
Outlook 2003. The problem is that when they are in the office, everything
works fine. When they are out of the office and connect through the VPN,
everything works fine EXCEPT for Outlook. It hangs on "trying to connect"
for several minutes before timing out completely.
I'm using the built in VPN client with XP to connect directly to SBS 2003.
No 3rd party software/hardware involved.
