Re: Weird Outlook Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The workstations have fixed IP addresses. The only DHCP server is on a
wireless router that is used for two laptops. If the laptops switch
from wireless mode with the DHCP derived address to plugged in mode
with the fixed IP address then the problem occurs.

It's only Outlook that has the problem. It won't connect to Exchange
without the server reboot.

You haven't answered my questions.....

For some reason lately whenever the IP address on a workstation of a
client of mine changes I have to reboot the entire SBS 2003 server
for Outlook on that workstation to connect to Exchange again. Never
had that problem before. Did a recent microsoft patch do this ?
Running SBS 2003 with ISA 2004. The firewall client is installed on
all workstations. Running Outlook 2003 on al workstations. The
server and workstations both have all the latest patches.

What happens if you don't do this? As in, what are the exact
symptoms? Is the user able to log into the domain normally, and
access other network resources?

There is no reason that a workstation IP changing should prevent
server access - what is doing DHCP on your network? It's best if
this is your SBS server, rather than your router/firewall/whatnot.
Also make sure that your DHCP server is giving out only the SBS
server's :LAN IP for DNS - and *no* public DNS servers - no server
or client should have a public IP specified anywhere in its ipconfig.
