Are you using DNS on your network? If not; add the name and IP-address of
the server to your HOSTS-file

When you ping the server are you able to ping it both by name as by
IP-address. Also when you ping by using
ping -a "IP-address"
is the name resolved correctly?

Did editing the HOSTS-file work?

it should work.

See if changing the way outlook resolves names helps:
