Slow Public Folder Access if Internet is down.

[Marc Seidler]

SBS 2003
If my internet is down (Comcast issues) and I try and access my Public
folder via a PC on the Lan running Outlook 03 or Outlook 07 is very slow and
may even time out. (may say not responding). Message says loading data from
server (or something similar).
As soon and my internet is live again the normal opening speed returns. I do
not use SBS/Exchange for Email, only sharing public Calendars and Contacts.

Why would internet access affect internal LAN access to the Exchange server
side of ABS considering I am not using Exchange for email. Only shared
public contacts and calendars.

If you have incorrect DND/WINS configuration, your workstations may be
waiting for DNS lookup from an external server which is not available, check
ipconfig on the workstations.
