Remote access solution?
I will be using a laptop on the road and only occasionally entering the office. We are using Exchange Server 5.0 and currently have mailboxes which reside on the server. What is the best way for me to send & receive mails when in/out of the office using Outlook? How do I set this up? Any articles you can point me to?

I hink the following address will take you there directly: http://support.microsoft.com/support/exchange/content/whitepapers/dras.asp
When I said establish a TCP/IP protocol assignment for remote users, I was referring to the setup of a TCP/IP Address Pool. When you dial in to your office, you will have to have a TCP/IP address. If you properly establish a small pool of addresses on your Exchange server, the server will automatically give you one of the addresses from the address pool.
Remote mail - offline folders. Since you said you will rarely go into the office, use Remote Mail. Also, I personally would want to be constantly online whenever I dialed into my office. I would also want to have access to my office's file server. (if you have Netware at your office, you will have to install the Netware Gateway on your server, and IPX compatible protocol on your workstation to access Novell file servers.)
