Setting ANR Include Online GAL per MSKB 831124

[Fred Marshall]

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;831124&Product=out

What is difficult for me to discern is this:

The environment isn't using an Exchange Server.
So, which of these are available / not available in this situation:

Cached Exchange Mode / Cached Mode
Automatic Name Resolution (ANR)
Global Catalog Server
Offline Address Book
Global Address List

In other words:
How should ANR Include Online GAL be set if there's no Exchange Server?

Thank you,

Fred

It doesn't matter because the setting applies only to users accessing
Exchange.

OK - thanks.

Then what might cause Outlook 2003 on XP Pro to fail to Receive email on
occasion and sometimes, less frequently, to Send emails?

This is one of many clients that all work fine. However, this one is
sluggish and sometimes fails to connect for Receiving mail - and, less
often, for Sending.

I'm searching for reasons but finding none. The user is pretty frustrated.

Thanks,

Fred

It might be a good idea to turn on logging in Tools | Options | Other |
Advanced Options.

Sue,

I did it and here is a typical log sequence. If you notice the numbers
after <rx>, these are the numbers of times this entry happens in sequence.
So, this happened 1256 times. Unfortunately I can't figure out what the log
is telling me.

I do suspect, from measurements, that the ISP is delaying getting mail by
8-12 seconds each time - and this leads to occasional failures. 1256 could
mean 1256 instances of something happening every 10 milliseconds.

Any further insights would be appreciated.
