Why is Exchange or server access disallowed?
It appears that something is blocking traffic to my SBS 2003 VPN connection. The SBS authenticates the user and resides on the tray but does not let the user connect to the exchange server. On another laptop (different location) it works just fine. The laptop is running McAfee ASAP firewall. Does PPTP have to be allowed on the router?
Hi cwpcguy,
Can you access the server by IP address?
\\ip.add.re.ss

Have not tried... BUT IF the answer is yes then should I edit the lmhosts file? Even opening Outlook (with Exchange connection) returns server not found.
No, that wasn't going to be my proposed solution if it worked.
If it works by IP, then try by pinging by FQDN,
ping server.domain.local
If THAT works, then what I would suggest adding the dns suffix to the VPN connection (tcp/ip / advanced / dns)

Post an IPconfig/all from server and laptop.
