"Not connected" problem

[cb750]

I am having a very annoying problem with Microsoft Entourage. I
searched in this forum and some people had a similar problem but I am
not sure it is the same problem.

When I connect to the network for the first time, it will give me a
message about installing certificate and when I click OK, it connects
fine, and it works for sometime. After a few minutes, the status
becomes "not connected". I think it happens everytime the mac goes to
sleep.

If I quit and relaunch Entourage, nothing happens, it remains not
connected.

THe workaround which is working for me is this: If I change the
location (I am on LAN) and then come back to the same location.
(basically disconnect and reconnect the network) and then relaunch
Entourage, it connects. I am going crazy disconnecting and reconnecting
the network (and hence disconnect and reconnect various other things
like the network drive, VPN, etc) every few minutes just to check
mail.

Any hints?

I just wanted to correct myself. It does not necessarily happen when
the mac goes to sleep. It goes to "not connected" status automatically
even when I am working on it continuously.
