Explorer "Send Page" results in "Exchange Server unavailable" message
I have a user that has a number of computers in is home connected to the main office LAN via a dedicated T1. He has a number of computers that access outlook with no problem. On one computer though, when he attemtps to either send a link or send a page, when looking at a web site in Explorer, after a long delay, he gets the pop up window: Your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. However, this computer has no problem accessing the exchange email. Also, other comuters in the home don't have any problem doing a send page or send link, only this one computer. I have verified that the default email program indicated in explorer is MS Outlook.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks Bembi for the quick answer, but i just want to make sure you fully understand the situation:
1. This one computer that is getting the "exchange not available" message when attempting to send a page or link from MS Explorer has not other problems other then this.
2. The computer is question is able to browse the internet with no problem, is accessing shared files from the server ok and is able to send and receive emails using MS outlook with no problem.
3. The only problem they have is on this one computer, and only when they attemtp to "send page" or "send link" from MS Explorer do they get the message, "Exchange Server unavailable" after looking at the hour glass for a minute or so.
It has to do with the mechanics of what the programs go through when are send page or send link request is processed. Is it a MS Explorer problem, or an Outlook problem? Is there a work around? Is there some registery setting that is pointing to the wrong place just in support of this send page request?
Thanks.
