Can you ping the Exchange server by name?  Outlook needs to name resolve the Exchange server to be able to connect.

Have you recreated the MAPI profile on the laptop?

Yes. The best proof is that I can access it through IE<br />

The profile had already been created, and the name is underlined.<br />
I haven't tested the RPC connection yet, but it is a good idea.

Hi everyone<br />
<br />
I have a laptop computer on which Office 2003 is installed. The exchange server seems to be properly configured.<br />
When I start Outlook, it immediately says it cannot find the exchange server. It doesn't even try to.<br />
The server is otherwise reachable, and the mailbox can be opened through IE with no problem.<br />
<br />
Any idea ?<br />
