Slow Outlook connectivity using a VLAN

[mark godfrey]

Hi, we are using a HP switch configure with 2 vlans.
192.168.254.x and 10.10.10.x
Our exchange server is on the 10.10.10.x subnet and we are
using exchange 2003 with outlook 2003. The outlook client
can connect with no problem while on the 10.10.10.x subnet
but it will timeout while on the 192.168.254.x subnet. It
will say that it cannot connect to the exchange server and
you have to hit retry about 3 or 4 times and it will
finally connect. Once connect everything runs fine. All
other network programs work find except for outlook. Any
suggestions?

Change rpc binding order, remove every protocol that
you are not using and have tcp/ip first.

Create hosts file on client.
