While trying to open a old .PST file in a new laptop, outlook asks for MS
exchange server and Mailbox name. Not sure what to type in ??

State EXACTLY what you're doing, including the version of Outlook. Unless
you have defined an Exchange account in your mail profile you shouldn't be
getting that prompt. Open the Mail applet in Control Panel, remove the
Exchange account, and add the type of account you want.

In Control Panel > Mail applet correctly configure the type of account

New laptop has Outlook 2003.

When i open Outlook 2003, message is 'Connection to MS exchange server is
unavailable, outlook must be online or connected to complete this action'.

Then it asks for MS exchange server and mailbox with a button to Check Name'.

Thanks

Then do as I said and use the Mail applet to correct your mail profile.
