Outlook hanging on ADSL

[tim1980]

We are experiencing this issue at work. Just to give you
an overview of the setup we have; we connect to an
exchange server using outlook as the email client, to
connect to the corporate network we are using ADSL and
going through the Nortel VPN client. Anyone got any ideas
why this may be occurring, settings to check etc?

More info on your network might help. You're in a remote office, using VPN
to connect to the main office where the Exchange server lives? Any reason
you can't just set up a VPN WAN link between the two networks rather than
using individual client software (which is less efficient and more difficult
to troubleshoot)?

What errors are you actually getting? Are you set to use OST files on the
workstations? I generally recommend that remote users sync to OST files and
tell Outlook to always work offline, with scheduled syncs to the server in
the background.

No need to ask more than once.
