outlook can't find server

[robbiev]

My outlook 2000 errors out saying that it can't find the
server. I am on a lan and I can ping my mail server. I
have to restart windows(2000) and my errors go away. Any
ideas? I am able to browse the net when this error accurs.
So that tells me I am connected.

I'm having exactly the same problem.
When installing Office 2000 or XP, it DOES work on this machine.
Anyone having any idea how to solve this?

The Microsoft Kb has no answer to this - not even for beta testers ... :-(

Me too.

Got Office XP and it can't find the server. If it does it continuall
asks for my password!

Sorry, typo in my previous message

I don't have the problem with Outlook 2000 (there it works just fine)
I DO have the problem with Oulook 2003 - spending a lot of money to fnd out that it doesn't work
